"YO!" you exclaim cheerfully.

You throw up your arms and shout, "Baby!"

Meltas smiles at you.

Meltas shifts his eyes from side to side suspiciously.

You say, "Time to celebrate!"

The Black Flagon Inn.
A large central bar of unfinished oak dominates the center of the room, bisecting it nearly in half,
leaving only half a dozen feet or so on either end to cross around to the other side. A door opens
in the middle of the bar, designed to allow one access into the center of the bar itself which seems
to be stocked with numerous kinds of liquor. Leather-covered stools line the bar, and the room is
peppered liberally with small wooden tables and chairs clustering in small groups in places where
they've been moved about by the patrons of the tavern. In the far right corner of the room is a
slightly raised platform, large enough to hold a baby grand piano and bench with room to spare.
Spaced evenly around the edge of the platform are small frosted glass candle holders, each
containing a small lit candle. The ceiling above the bar is covered by a low-hanging rack, which
houses over a hundred glasses and tankards, the glass clean and glittering in the faint light of the
room. Two large windows sit on either side of the oak beam-enforced door. Similar pieces of oak
bisect the window twice into four panes of glass that peer out into the courtyard. Lying flat on the
ground is a key-shaped sigil. A large, circular bar of unfinished oak is here, a thick green bottle
and a small snack of kale chips atop it. A beautifully carved chess board is attached firmly to a
heavy stand here. A black lacquered baby grand piano with a matching bench sits here. There are 4
leather-covered stools here. Hurriedly making her way between patrons, Rispina busies herself nearby.
 A simple oaken bin that reads "Clean Glasses" is here. A blue and white garland has been hung here.
There are 2 thick green bottles here. Resting on the ground is a cube-shaped silver sigil. The
Bearmage, Meltas Fiadhaich Frost is here. He is riding on a misty grey mare. He wields a rune-
covered cavalry shield of conflagration in his left hand and a lambent staff of milky skycrystal in
his right. You see a sign here instructing you that WARES is the command to see what is for sale.
You see exits leading east, south, west, and up.

Utterly delighted, you emit an excited "Wheeee!"

Meltas gives an elegantly shaped obsidian cup to Ayanala.

Ayanala quickly hides behind Meltas, who suddenly looks very vulnerable.

You say, "That stuff was potent."

The Bearmage, Meltas Fiadhaich Frost says to Sister Ayanala Elistar, "Have a sip."

Ayanala sips from a carved obsidian cup of a sweet, orange juice cocktail.

Sister Ayanala Elistar says, "Orange juice?"

Meltas shakes his head.

The Bearmage, Meltas Fiadhaich Frost says, "Brandy."

The Bearmage, Meltas Fiadhaich Frost says, "Have to put your other cups away dear."

Looking only slightly disheveled, Kamus brushes himself off casually.

Kamus drinks from a clay Sentaari drinking jug with traces of a traditional rice wine, "Private
Stock".

Pressing the open palm of his left hand against the clenched fist of his right, Kamus bows
respectfully.

A crack suddenly splits the earth, out of which snake several large tentacles dripping black liquid.
The threatening appendages lash around you, pulling you into the chasm and face to face with a
gargantuan horror lurking just within. As the tentacles construct around your body, squeezing your
internal organs into soup, the creature darts towards your head with a maw filled with a thousand
teeth. The horrific sensation of your face being ripped off is the last feeling awarded to you as
your form finally succumbs to death.
You have been slain by Iosyne.
The Hall of the Underking.
 There are no obvious exits.
