Chye takes another pull from his jug, and watches. "Numbah Tree Son, you know them guys?"

Jin adds extra swagger to his walk, making eye contact with as many people as possible, disrespectful challenging sneer on his lips.

17:26, Today: Chye Isuel rolled 12 using 3d6.  carousing - 15.
17:26, Today: Chye Isuel rolled 5 using 3d6.  diplomacy - 13.

Wishing to stop any hostilities (at least until he is finished eating), Chye tries to dissuade any violence, and makes a good attempt: "Hoi, friends! Why not join us for a drink?? We're all sons of Sahud." OOC: minorities react at +2 to one another, in foreign lands. Chye's charisma and appearance doubles this bonus.

Seeing trouble brewing already, Chou-Zhen takes a swift mouthful of his fish and sticks a finger into his ale, while moving his feet into position to stand quickly if needed.

He says nothing, however, and, well aware of the reaction his smile sometimes draws, refrains from smiling.

23:46, Today: Chye Isuel rolled 7 using 3d6.  will - 12. (intolerance: villians/evil-5)
When Chye hears Numbah Tree Son explain who the men are, (bandit scum) he resists the urge to scowl, and spit upon the floor, in contempt. The very idea of drinking with such animals, sickens him to the core, but he presses on with his invitation convincingly, keeping his cool. "Come, Come. Bring your cups over! Ho ho ho!"

Chye resumes eating, not wanting his dinner to get cold. Soon, nothing remains on his plate but fins, tail, and fishbones. Downing the last dregs of his soup, he picks his teeth with a fishbone, watching the group. "Chye try..*Burrrp*"

Ales intentionally arrives late, stripped of his overcoat that would directly identify him as a member of Sakemoko's household.  He makes his way through the establishment, his movements suggesting he is nothing more than a simple diner wanting some of the local delicacies.

He waits for the waiter to find him a seat.  He takes a quick look at the menu and orders the special of the day, not really caring what it is.


(OOC: How far is Ales from the rest of the group?)

In reply to Jin (msg # 42):

There is no gambling in this part of the establishment. Jin can see Ales entering the restaurant on the other side of the three toughs, and Ales xan see the four of you being confronted by them.

Numbah three is slurping noodles, and is also loosening the stays on his
 sword in a very low key way.

"Taxes must be paid to the local authorities. I am their duly
appointed representative. Now pay up!"

"Is that so?" Jin folded his arms. "You're not very good at this. I was thinking of offering you a job, but I have to say that you're not doing a very good job of impressing me. Tell the target how much money you want. Vague demands don't help you, they don't help me."

"Are you freelancing, or are you working for that demon-worshiper Akira? Or are you working here, in his place, without his permission?"

Between mouthfuls of fish, Chou-Zhen speaks, making no attempt to disguise his accent.

"And which local authorities do you claim to represent?  The city government, the Hadereum, or the Guild?  And why should we expect our taxes to be collected in a place like this?"

He sticks a finger in his mug of ale, and allows himself a small, very disquieting smile.

"Oh, and do you have defenses against magic?"

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 49):

Li Mu looks angry and startled. His hand drifts toward the single edged broadsword in his sash. The back of the blade is set with steel rings.
His men have knives and clubs, and at Chou-Zhen Mou's last comment,
one pulls an amulet from inside his jerkin, and makes a gesture against spirits.

Chye stands his intimidating 6'1", flicks his forked tongue, and bears his fangs, with a hiss.
23:42, Today: Chye Isuel rolled 8 using 3d6.  cat stance - 15.
Chye perfectly executes his style's fighting stance. The sound of his brawny arms whipping through the thick air of the place, end with the sound of a snapping whip, as his hands thrust forward. "You get more than you bargained for, from us!"

"Gentlemen, please." Jin puts his arms out. "Must I always be the voice of reason and calm? Do you want the guard here, in this place's business? Put your weapons away, or Northport's law will involve itself. Do you want that? Do you want to explain to Akira why the attention of the guard have been drawn?"

ooc: Using the threat of the guard's attention.
23:05, Today: Jin rolled 10 using 3d6.  intimidation-12.


"Now, I thought this was a place of games. What say we settle this in a way that everyone can enjoy, eh? Why don't you test your "iron arm" against my strength... and let the fine people here bet on the outcome?"

Chou-Zhen keeps his seat, left hand still managing his fish.  Without a pause, his right hand reaches out to touch a condiment container, which with a between-bites word rises gently into the air and begins to float around above the table.

[Private to GM: 05:08, Today: Chou-Zhen Mou rolled 12 using 3d6.  Apportation, roll to cast (1 pound, no cost after skill discount).]

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 55):

Some of the diners back away,while a few others start calling odds. A man runs down the stes from above with a fist full of paper slips and starys taking bets.
Li Mu tersely nods his head, and he makes a gesture at a nearby table, whose residents quickly vacate the area.

The tough with the amulet takes a step back from Chou-zenand his levitating soy sauce.
