Outside Sandy's shop, the Prestigious Moon, a very druid-ey looking oruch is leaning up against the wall, urinating, and singing an oruchi war song drunkenly. Just Tuesday, then.

<OOC> Ga'Elian says, "Didn't read. Sorry." <OOC> Iadoth says, "Nae bother."
Ga'Elian stops on his way into the shop, not to watch, but to listen for a moment to the song, then smirks at the lyrics and heads inside.
"Wait!" The oruch says before Ga'Elian gets through the door. He slaps a massive green-grey hand on the sil's back. "Dun... dun gah in thar, sharpeh. Der's... der's a... fing inside."
Krom comes from the fridged lands where everyone knows when you tinkle, because it turns to ice, hitting the ground loudly. Clothing is a survival tool, not a fashion statement, and thus he's been browsing the shop for a while, but no starts out. The northman pauses, unsure if he's supposed to let Ga'Elian though first, or hurry himself. The oruch's intervention solves the matter for him. Or perhaps makes it worse. Anyway, Krom steps outside, listening with idle curiousity.
"Something besides Sandy's very bizarre presence?" The rumbling voice of an Aesir characterized by his inexplicably large sword propped over one shoulder echoes from just around the corner, then, before Jokul himself rounds it to come out into the open. "She's bad, sure, but she's not *that* bad."
"Uhh," the oruch says, clearly a little confused. He begins to mumble incoherently --- it might be in yrch-speak, but who knows. The words a still confused. "No!" he says, eventually. "'Sa... 'sa... big tiger."
Ga'Elian reaches his hand out to grab that of the pissed/pissing orc and remove it from himself. In a book-learned variant of Yrch-speak, and with a Sylvanori accent, Ga'Elian says, "There's gonna be something out here too if you touch me like that again. Tigers bother me not."
"'Dis one will," the oruch says. "See, iss a big 'un. Ah summun'd it, but iss biggah than oosual. An'," he points to the shop. "Iss hidin' in there, mebbe wiv th'kiddy stuffffff."
Krom blinks. "A tiger? Krom saw some stuffed tigers, and small fake rug. Krom did not see real tiger, big or small. But, Krom was not searching for tiger. Might have been in back part of store."
"Yuhh," the oruch says, nodding fervently and turning to the northman. "In tha back of tha storr. Big, /big/ tiger."
Ga'Elian shakes his head and says, "Well, that's no place for a tiger. Why'd you summon one in there?"
"Ah didunt," the oruch says. "Ah summun'd it in tha pub, then... it got free. Came in 'ere."
Krom sighs, and shrugs. "Drunken summoning. Seldom goes well."
"So how big is this tiger?" Asks Jokul then, of all things, instead of-- well, anything else that would make sense, like everyone else is doing, as it appears. "Like, dire tiger or demon tiger...?" All while lifting his hand up and down to try and indicate height.
Ga'Elian facepalms. "Of course you did. Now, I'm no expert on magic, but, if you summoned it, it only remains as long as your spell endures, right? Can you not simply end the spell's magic?"
The oruch shrugs. "Big as a horse," he says, then shrugs again to the sil. "Uhh, yeah, mebbe, but... ah, umm. Spell got longah, somehow." He looks sheepish. "Yeah. Mebbe yous can get rid of it?"
"Big as a horse," Jokul repeats, and-- a wide, WIDE grin flashes over his face with that. "That sounds fun." OF all thigns to say. He adjusts the prop of his sword along his shoulder just a bit so that it will be easier to heft over, and without any hesitation, moves on for the door to the shop. "If you all want a chance for a nice fight, you're welcome to come along. Sandy would probably be pissed at me if I just watched anyway."
Krom shrugs again. "Sober conjuration expires. Drunken magic follows own rules. Krom has seen such before. Best stop before it breeds. Or whatever magic tigers do."
Ga'Elian shakes his head as he says, "Sure. Let's go see." He walks into the shop.
<OOC> Ga'Elian notes that if his +2 favored enemy is magical beast. <OOC> Ga'Elian says, "It definitely is, I mean."
It's busy season in the shop; in fact, it looks as though Sandy and the orphans are preparing for a luau. There are garlands of flowers, coconut brassieres and jugs of some kind of white beverage that smells strongly of coconuts and alcohol. In the back room you can also see grass skirts --- lots of grass skirts, hanging along the full length of the room.
Ga'Elian says to Jokul and Krom, "How about I sneak in and take a peek, gentlemen?"
Krom shrugs. "Krom will look as well. Try not to look like cat-toy."

GAME: Krom rolls perception: (9)+4: 13
Krom is a hunter of the 'let it try to kill you then kill it first' variety. The actual sneaking and searching parts could use some work.
Ga'Elian figures, "Well, this is a *room*, in a *store*. There can't be too many places for a tiger to hide, grass skirts or no." He slinks around the wall, hiding in the clothes/grass skirts as he goes... quietly.

<OOC> Ga'Elian says, "Yes. (I'm trying to leave my option open for wild empathy)." <OOC> Iadoth says, "Krom! What would you like to sma---do?"
Ga'Elian still not finding the sneaky cat, keeps searching, slowly and stealthily himsef, but as he moves 15 feet, still fails to acquire his quarry.
<OOC> Krom says, "Head along towards the back, try to keep even with Ga'Elian... who I can't see.

Krom perks an ear, and heads for where he thought he heard a swish come from. "Here kitty kitty..." he might not be taking this as seriously as he might. But drunken quests are like that. Even when you're not the drunk one.
<OOC> Krom is sure there's an 'in the closet' joke there... <OOC> Iadoth says, "Are you sneaking?" <OOC> Iadoth now really wants the tiger to be really camp. <OOC> Krom says, "Nope.

The tiger has been stalking through the long grass skirts, very sneaky-like, when all of a sudden... POUNCE! It leaps gracefully and ferociously through the air towards Krom...
<OOC> Ga'Elian says, "And knocks Elian over on the way quite to everybody's surprise--even the tiger's."
Krom does not scream like a little girl, no matter what the rumors say. Little girls can't hit that note or maintain that timber.

The tiger, which is, as advised, at least as large as a horse, doesn't quite manage to connect claws and teeth with flesh as he reaches the northman. It stands there, growling ferociously.

Ga'Elian sees that the possibility of a peacable resolution has passed, or might have never existed, decides that some swishy-pokey is in order, and scores two hits against the brute. "Hah!"
<OOC> Iadoth is saddened to see Krom! not quite mash the tiger. <OOC> Ga'Elian says, "Yes, but now tiger has two other targets."
Unbelievably enough, Jokul has actually managed to maintain enough patience to not just charge trough while people are, to put it simply, sneaking around. But, the moment the faint hints of growling can be heard and the tiger is making to maul KRom, the door to the shop SLAMS open, and in an instant, a flash of metal glints through the air across from the door all the way to the center of the room, followed immediately after by a splatter of red coloring it's trail. And thus, there's a large Aesir, with a giant of a sword held in both hands and forward just beisdes the tiger, dripping with the faint hints of blood.
Krom isn't sure what he was expecting. But not an actual tiger. Drawing his blade and making a clumsy swipe, the northman utters some words that would get his ears boxed if his grandma were here. Totally worth it, because then his grandma would be here, and she'd slap the tiger around for scaring her grandson.

"Cats shouldn't get as big as you," growls Jokul, with... that same grin he flashed before, even in spite of the fact that there's copious amounts of blood flowing out from equally copiously-wide gashes set through his breastplate. "So just go back to curling up by the sun like a good kitty!" His following actiond oes not really match up with his advice, though. Mostly considering because his followin action largely consists of him spinning himself around while turning his sword within his hand, bringing it cutting it thrhough the air vertically around himself in a crescent arc that ends in slamming down into the beast's flank HARD with a large piece of flesh torn away.
Sandy is probably not going to be happy with the mess left behind. The Aesir is going to have to come up with some explanation after he's down from combat high.

<OOC> Iadoth says, "That'll do!" <OOC> Ga'Elian says, "Yay!"
Krom's blades flash again, staining crimson. They aren't the worst of wounds, but will serve, proving fatal. At least with all the other damage.
<OOC> Ga'Elian says, "Sandy has a new tiger-skin rug? (Or summoned creature-vanishy, bye bye?)"
The tiger yowls as the first kukri slices into its flesh; with the second, it is unconscious and, one can assume, probably dying.
There is blood. Lots of blood. Some of it is even the tiger's. And an awful lot of ruined grass skirts.
The luau sure isn't going to be as good as it might have been.
Ga'Elian extracts himself from the ginormous brute, then stabs it a couple times in the soft underbelly, just for good measure.
As you leave, Sandy's new tigerskin rug is twitching and bleeding a little more. But at least the coconut beverages haven't been spilt. And there'll be plenty of blood for black pudding.
Outside, the oruch is lying on the ground, face down, singing loudly to himself in broken yrch-speak.
"Good kitty," Jokul's voice rumbles afterwards, and, with a *swoosh* of air pressure, his sword gets swung around within just one hand, returned to it's original resting prop over his armored shoulder, even while his other hand is wiping a dribble of blood away from his mouth. "That was exciting," he declares thus, even in spite of the grievous amount of injury. "We should--"
The Aesir's words stop right there, crushed away by the sudden descent of realization. His green eyes scan over the room. Eye over the bits of flesh and blood splattered across the walls and floor. The clothing disturbed. The very distinct gash left in the floor by his own sword.
Jokul's brow starts to twitch.
"... This could be bad."
Krom shrugs. "Krom going to take drunken quests more seriously." He glances to Jokul, and shrugs. "Find The Sandy. Buy her drink. Let nature take it's course. Blame damage on drunken Sandy. Likely won't notice difference."
<OOC> Iadoth laughs!
Ga'Elian says, "I'd blame drunken orc-dude." Then to the oruch, he says, "Don't go anywhere, man. The shopkeeper will want to thank you personally for fixing up her place."
He sure isn't going anywhere. Not until he wakes up, at least.
Ga'Elian asks, "Guys, should we drag him in there and pose him with the carcase?"
Krom says, "....Krom not sure want to touch."
"Ain't no need." Stomp, stomp, Jokul's booted feet clunk over the bloodied floor to the door, through it and to the street into the way of the orc, nuding the drunkard's side with his toes. "We did our part, he did his. That's all there is to it. It might be shitty, but we gotta face our own troubles with our own way. He'll face his just the same way."
<OOC> Ga'Elian says, "Remind me to avoid Jokul's toes. XD"
Ga'Elian whistles, and in response, his griffon comes around the corner toward the Sil, who says, "Good fight, guys."
"Nob'dy knows th'trouble ah've seen..." Murmurs the semi-conscious oruch.
<OOC> Ga'Elian laughs, and says, "Nor especially what yo' fixin' tuh see, neithuh." *SMACK*
Krom shrugs, and heads off. "Drunken quest, maybe time Krom get drunk himself."
<OOC> Krom should head off. past the time I'm supposed to get up, so likely should grab some sleep... <OOC> Iadoth says, "Ah, yes." <OOC> Iadoth should also go to bed? <OOC> Ga'Elian says, "Thanks. Was really fun!" <OOC> Iadoth tried his best! <OOC> Krom noms and heads off. And yes, was fun. Bloody, but fun. Laters!
Krom has disconnected.
<OOC> Iadoth will also head off and maybe try to post a log. <OOC> Ga'Elian waves. "G'night then."
Ga'Elian goes Out <O>. Ga'Elian has left.
<OOC> Iadoth says, "Good night, and thanks for stepping in guys!"
