LOG:

The Redthorn Tavern is...well not quite the same.Patch sits by the fighting pits as a fight between a stoat and a fox rages on and beasts place bets to see who would win.The one in charge of the fighting pits doesn't seem like the rat though, looks like a fancy dressed weasel.

Xander walked into the tavern and just stopped short "W..Wot?" He looked around and snorted, ok keep cool...keep cool and find Patch, and have a nice...little..chat.

Nardo hmms "It's..interesting, oh let me guess something is different isn't it?"

Patch sighed and then looked to the door, he rubbed his eyes "No way....he left..."

The weasel hmmms "Who left Patch?" The fight ended and the stoat finished off his victim as the weasel looked to the door and grinned "A stripedog!" The rat frowned "They don’t like to be called that Skyes"

Xander takes a deep calming breath and walks over "And you are?" He looks at Patch and back to the weasel "You can exit the tavern now, have a good day...thank you"

Nardo walks up and sits at a close by table to watch, what he isnt dumb..a fight could easyly happen and he will stay out of the way.

Skyes stands and smirks "I don't think so...see, ok your bigger than me but ya see the tavern is..mine"Patch frowns "Umm I sort of lost the tavern in a ...little bet ya see..." Sykes chuckles "So I get to say who stays and gos...stripes go.."

Xander glares at Patch, oh he did not want to get moody tonight.He snorts and manages to control his temper.."Well Patch doesn't own it..I do..so LEAVE" He raises his voice at the end.

Nardo gets an ale and frowns a little, ok maybe he should look around the village, or stay in case a healer is like needed soon.

Patch frowns and looks at the floor as the weasel starts laughing insanely and grins "Ya see...he placed it on the table as...part of the bet and , well lost it"He shows the contract and smirks "Too bad..huh..so ya want it back do ya?"

Xander clears his throat "Patch..is an idiot...sorry Patch"Now..we can do this the easy way and ya leave MY tavern, or...the hard way, your choice Sykes..was it?"

Nardo frowns, and of course there is talk of a fight, possible bets are placed on who would win and lucky the healer doesn't place one.He just sighs "May as well stick around see who needs a healer...or death confirmed"

Patch sighs "Sorry Stripy..I..." Sykes quiets the rat with a look and glaces at the badger and just shrugs as if this bothers him not at all, he then grins as a wolverine attacks out of nowhere "Hard way suppose"

Xander was having all the focus on the weasel and Patch, then missed, just barely, the wolverin's attack! He gets knocked down and groans a little.He snorts and makes a fist to slam it into the wolverines face!

Nardo blinks as he drinks his ale and watches "Ok this is not good..umm Xander?" He looks at the badger and frowns a little "Maybe just like leave?"

Patch frowns, the weasel Sykes just chuckles and the wolvern howls as it jumps onto the countertop and cackles, it's a little wild but seems to listen to the weasel."That was enjoyable...drinks on me!"

Xander groans and spits blood...he is not gonna stay down as he stands slowly and looks right at the wolverine and steps unto the contour and glares.Fists made and a snarl forms"Try..that again I DARE YA!"

Nardo jaw drops as he looks between the badger and the wolverine,"Ok..guess I will just umm..be here if needed"

Sykes smirks "So we wanna play? Ok ...we play..."He lets the wolverine lunge at the badger again as he gets his own weapon out, a dagger he slips under his sleeve.

Patch seen the dagger and for now is quiet, he knows the wesel is not fair in fights.

Xander side steps and goes to grab the wolverine by the throat and slam it to the floor, if it tries to get up he breaks an ale bottle over it's head!

Nardo stays where he is, what he doesn't fight much really as others watch also.

Patch gasps, Sykes narrows his eyes as the wolverine goes down...twice as the bottle breaks over its head.The weasel slips behind Xander and goes to literally stab him in the back!..Patch cries out "Xander behind ya!!"

Xander sidestep and goes to slam the weasel into the table, if he is able to that is and grab the knife from the weasel's paw.

Nardo just watches all this, ok a fight is common in a bar..he tenses and then relaxes after a for sure painful if not deadly blow is missed.

Sykes is surely surprised and gets an arm to the face and falls backwards, he tries to slice at the badger before that paw goes to grab the knife, he tries to cause some damage and the dagger ends up loose in his paw. causing a little damage to his own paw now as he hissed in pain and blood falls to the table.

Xander eyes flash once...but he controls it, barely as the dagger gets the tip of his thumb taken off,he grabs the dagger finally and growls loudly as he lifts the dagger, goes to hold down the weasel and slams the dagger to the side of the weasel's head.

Nardo frowns "Ok that had to hurt ..ohhh and that is worse and looks painful"Good thing he has a medical pack with him and the abbey was so nice to supply him a few things they had extra of and he had some other things on his own.

Patch eyes go wide, Sykes screams in pain as the dagger goes right into his ear and pins him to the table.He gasps and goes to kick the badger in the stomach.

Xander is very alert and keeps a hold of the dagger in the ear, he looks as someone slides the weasel likely a dagger, nope it's his and goes into the other ear of the weasel looks like!He elbows the weasel in the chest and gets in his face "This is MY TAVERN...ya understand.?"

Nardo stays off to the side...oh boy what fun there is blood and beasts just still look to see who will win.

The weasel seems to get the picture and nods painfully.."Ok ok...tis your take it, take it...or"He smirks "Take This!" A dagger was hidden and goes towards Xander's chest!

Xander gets a look of surprise but the dagger doesn't seem to make him stop.He moves carefully and then with a quick arm movement he gets his large Blade of The Northwind Storms at the weasel's throat, he narrows his good eye.."Live...or die?"

Nardo gasps "Oh....ok that is bad, so bad...ummm"He kind of looks at the ground, if a head rolls off the table or a body he is so gonna pass out..yes he is a healer but there is always a first, he has yet to see a umm..possible headless body ok.

Patch blinks "Xander....XANDER!!" Sykes eyes widen at the blade at his throat, some thin lines of blood form "You..you should be dead...."He gulps a little "Live..live the tavern its yours..let me go..let me go.."Panic "LET ME GO!!!"

Xander moves slowly and snarls as he yanks the weasel up, and yes the weasel is gonna lose half of each ear and those daggers.The badger looks to have a dagger sticking out of his chest!!He takes the weasel and throws him out after having a stoat empty the weasels pockets, the weasel is literally throw out of the tavern and onto the road!The badger goes to sit down and pants..tried and grips the dagger and yanks it out...and looks at the hole in the cloak, the tunic and...the journal? Ok the tip did get him a little so there is some bruising and some blood but only a small bit as it barely went into the skin..the tunic and journal, which is destroyed, took most of the blow "So..much for Dorarose's idea on..writing...and I just got it today too, it was new"

Nardo rushes over as the weasel is ..well...gone, he frowns at the daggers and bits of weasel ear and looks to Xander "Let me see the....wot?" He looked surprised and checks him and looks at him"That journal just save ya life Xander..."

Patch looks to the door and the badger "Well..that was...ok"And the tavern is back in Xander's ownership "So..now what?"

Xander looked at the dead journal, and the wolverine "Throw it out too"Its is taken away. the journal cover and backing is thick too"We..have a serious talk Patch, very serious...so lock up I don't care if its an hour early..tell every beast to leave....Nardo can stay"His paw is bleeding some and he lost a tooth.

Nardo nods and can tend to the paw, swollen lip and some bruises..not so much a lost tooth,sorry.

Patch nods and stands "Ya heard Xander..out all..go on.."Least they all listen and soon it's the badger, Patch and nardo..Patch locks the door still and sighs."Can I umm..sleep first?"

Xander shakes his head "No"It's firm and serious, he will let nardo tend to the paw and the rat and him will have one ..LONG serious chat.As for bed, it comes as they each have an office and tonight only Nardo can have the special guest room, oh and the tavern is opening half an hour late....because Xander says so and he IS OWNER after all.

Nardo helps where he can and then sleeps, the guest room is awesome! So like he will enjoy it while it lasts, one night...hopefully he can talk them into a 2nd one...it's a wait and see.

Patch sighs, lecture..then he deserves it, the night is long but least he does manage to serve them each and himself a drink, make some fish stew before they head to bed, he hates lectures he decides...he also decides Xander likely got lecture lessons from Oz or maybe Oz would of been worse, it's hard to say..either way Lecture time was not enjoyable, not at all!!!
