       "Yes, good dwarf, how may I serve you? First drunk is on the
       house, and as for the lady, do I get you two are traveling
       companions?"
       T'boch looked at Belwar with the same grin he gave Forhrlit, one
       of understanding and amusement.
       At that moment, a pack of sailors barged in the tavern. Two of
       them shot for the ring, drawing cheers and whistles from the
       patrons. The others came and took a good long look at our trio,
       then decided to come "inspect" the woman.
       "Hey T'boch, I'll take me a chick's leg", said one.
       "Maybe some of your whisky for me", went another.
       "One for me, one for her", said the last.
       "None of this shit in my bar, Benzel. She's not for sale."
       T'boch put a hand under the counter as he said that.
       "Shut up, eunuch. I don't want to buy, I want to rent. Or take,
       if she's good..."
       Please tell me if this makes you uncomfortable. I will change it
       if it does. After this post, I will be making sure every player
       took his turn before answering. Sorry for that sluggish start.

       Forhrlit hears the den of activity about her but almost doesn't
       notice ... she's lost for a moment in the ecstasy of the drug.
       The darkness near .But her fear..a touch away...a touch away...
       Forhrlit looks up abruptly at T'bloch with fierce dark eyes and
       says " I will never serve ale, mead or otherwise. My mother was
       a serving wench and they let her die!" Her voice growing and
       pulling her hood back abruptly reveling her bright pink hair
       whilst turning on the dwarf for a scant moment with a crocked
       smile. Then turns to the insulting men and just stairs with a
       jet black eyes.

       "By the way, kind sir," Forhrlit says over her shoulder to
       T'bloch, " my name is Forhrlit. Would be rude not to introduce
       myself to a gracious host. My mother thought me better than to
       be rude.."

       "Oh, I umm... I am sorry, I tend to be a bit on edge these...
       Never mind that, I'll take something strong then. It would be a
       shame to turn down a good strong drink now!" Belwar laughs
       rhetorically. "So tell me, do you get many visitors here? How is
       business? I hear there are finer things to be had outside of the
       mead."

       "Well of course, master dwarf. Here you go", said the barkeeper
       while taking his eyes off the sailors. He went as fast as he
       could in scooping a small glass and pouring Belwar some fine
       brandy. He then started to fill a tankard with an extra bitter
       ale, thinking the strong dwarf would like it. He placed the two
       cup before the dwarf.
       "Business is as usual, sir... We're doing better than la..." and
       at that exact moment, the sailor named Benzel made a move
       towards Forhrlit.
       "C'mere sweetie, I won't hurt ya!"
       And he reached to grasp her arm. His two acolytes were laughing
       and eyeballing the woman with evident lust.

       Even with Forhrlit's new found confidence due to the "special
       liquor" her reaction to being touched by the man is cold fear in
       her heart. She doesn't make much of a noise besides a sharp
       breath, her eyes go wide and before thinking she reaches back,
       grasps the mug of her untouched stout and flings the liquid  her
       assailants face. She had seen people do it before. It was
       strange to her, like her arm was acting on its own. The Pewter
       Mug rattles on the floor.

       Forhrlit's mind immediately focuses on the rapier hidden under
       her cloak , although she makes no move for it ...yet..

       Belwaer lunges his arm towards his hand axe but catches himself
       once he grabs the handle. "This is not my battle." He whispers
       to himself as he loosens his grip. Belwaer decides to just watch
       with content trying to read Forhrlit's body language, steadily
       waiting and wanting to see her prove herself in battle if it
       came down to it.

       The three sailor immediately went quiet. One in the back was
       apparently nervous, the other had this little knowing smirk. But
       the look on Benzel's face was maybe the worst. He was absolutely
       without emotion.
       "Very well, lass. You want it hard, we'll make it hard!", he
       said while tackling her against the bar. Reflex save DC 13 =
       1d20 (17) + Dex (3) + prof (2) = 22.
       Forhrlit quickly rolled to her left as the not-so-drunk sailor
       smash right in front of T'boch. The other two fellas jumped in
       after that, one aiming to cut Forhrlit's retreat's, one to
       prevent Belwar from interfering.

       From under Forhrlit's cloak flashed forth her rapier. She was
       immediately in a fighting stance. She was on auto now. Focused
       on Benzel but aware of his friends.
       She always felt at home in the shadows but she so enjoyed the
       kind of numbness that came with battle too. It was all those
       damn in-between parts that were so uncomfortable.
       Suddenly she was springing forward at Benzel. Aiming to kill.
