Ilimetha sighed. She'd snatch the bonbon off of the counter and immediately shoved it into Winnie's mouth. She'd need to steal more away but at this point, she felt as if Winnie was more of a danger than Zeddy was. The bonbon tasted of chocolate, nougat, peanuts, and caramel.
The Drowess would lean against the bar next to Winnie, careful to avoid the lightning to watch her chew. Slowly she'd nod her head.
"Hey Winnie.... Better?" She'd gently pet the ponytails of the little gnome. Winnie should've known better than to put expensive wood in a place like this where she routinely fired off full automatic weapons, like the underdark has never seen before, herself. It already had a bullet hole or two in it.
Once she was certain her friend was calmed down she'd look back to Nerty with a grin.
"That was mighty fine. Thank you for showing us how it's done. Now then. Perhaps Winnie and I should leave. The faster we get back with this soul the faster you guys can get your information. Hm?"
She was still behind the bar, and with a wicked grin she'd slide down to stand in front of Aly, leaning across it.
"Kiss for good luck?"

Z'ress was enthralled by the demon music... His tail swung back and forth rhythmically until the music stopped and he forgot why he was angry... then noticed salted fish. He dipped his maw and swallowed up the lot of then in one gulp. His big tongue smacked about in side his mouth as he savored the flavor. Then he looked down at the accordion... He reaches out and touched it, he spun around on his bar stool with it. Then, poof! Standing in front of Z'ress was a large demonic cello. He held the neck in one clawed hand and the bow in the other, it stood as tall as he did on the now somewhat bent barstool. Then Niwyn bardged up with her rant about the bartop, he blushed a bit. "Oh bother, I think I lost control of myself again, my apologies Niwyn."
And then he would play, the bow passing along the cello strings putting a haunting yet calming tune through the bar. (Queue "Path" by Apocalyptica)

Gel felt like her head was spinning in circles around her neck in very confused circles at that. First there was the goblin looking at her in a way, she wasn't exactly comfortable with. She'd been refering to Z'ress' mother, and not nerty's but it was too late to correct that mistake. So she made an uncomfortable grimiace. She'd shot Winnie a wicked little kitty grin, having offered something incorgible that had something to do with the matter of tongue texture and why her fur was always so...'soft'.
And then the kid had to go and make himself a massive beast. Gel's eyes would widen and she'd give the gator boy wide birth after that, watching as both ili and Nerty handled the teenager. Gel was just dusting herself off when Winnie came back and with her panties in a twist about her bar top. Gel would glance at the scratches at which she'd just been rather rudely accused of scratching. She'd give Winnie a wounded look.
'Geezus winnie, you ought to know I've got better tables than shitass.' She'd shoot Zeddy a glare for making her the focus the angry little gnome. But he was quieting down from his tanturm and she didn't wish to 'push his buttons' any more, lest he go back and try and eat her out of spite. She'd arch a whiskered brow, shook her head, and proceded to drink from her cup her eyes darting between the rag-tag members of the party, as she took a healthy step back away, just out of reach for anyone that might try to swipe at her. What in the 7 hells had she nosed her way into?

Bor'Nerty held a single finger up shortly after Z'ress played the Cello, giddy with delight. "Oh, you had something in mind already!.... Hm, interesting choice. There was something else I was supposed to tell you, but I can't seem to remember what it was.... but you look like a smart kid. You'll figure it out."
The imp's left ear twitched as he heard Ilimetha and Aly'Dra's exchange.
*BAHMF* "Good Luck!" *smooch* *BAHMF*
The infernal goblin had merely kissed the air near Ilimetha's cheek, harmlessly. He wasn't sure if the joke would land but figured what the hell.
"Hehhehhehhehh...... Sorry.... I just couldn't resist myself!"
He wiggled his eyebrows at Z'ress and casually whispered. "That's the one you better watch out for."
He placed a hand on his chest in a fake dramatic pose as Winnie accused everyone of vandalism. "Oh my! I've decidedly worn shoes these days, and I grind my toenails into powder to sell to warlocks daily, so I don't think I'm your culprit. These are Crocs, anyhow. They're in style all the time in hell."
Gel'Hara seemed a bit discombobulated, and the tiefling had picked up on it quickly. "First time at the Drunken Dwarf?"

Gel's feline blue-grey eyes would turn to face the goblin. Meeting his eyes as he with keen observance caught her confusion at the sudden current events. Taking a casual sip of her drink, she'd raise a whiskered brow and tilted her head curiously looking at the Goblin. when he spoke directly to her.
"First time at the Drunken Dwarf?" A sly smile would cross the Tabaxi's face at his question. 'Nay, tis not my first visit. Just my first visit in many moons. I've only just arrived with my caravan this very evening. We ran into trouble which set us back by a month or two.' she thought, thoughtfully trying to decide just how far behind they had been. Not that it mattered. The issues had been dealt with. And the rest of the journey had continued rather smoothly.
'But truth be told is this the first time I've seen shitass have a melt down like a petulant child....? Aye.' she looked over at Z'ress curiously. This was a side of him he'd not displayed before in her pressence. She'd glance over at Ili. 'When did he get so sensitive? I thought he was made of harder stuff than scales.' she'd look over at Z'ress and offer him a playful wink so he wouldn't get his gator panties into a twist as she failed to resist the urge to tease him further.
She'd look back to Nerty since he seemed to wish to engage with her at that moment. A slight smirk would cross her features. 'Nothing changes here...even after months of being absent. If anything its almost more entertaining every time I return to Ched Nasad, and come in for my routine drinking after a long journey.' She'd take another sip of her drink. 'Sides it would be absolutely beyond rude to not at least come in and see the fiesty miss winnie. Especially when trade is involved. After all I do enjoy shiny things in the form of coin' she'd wink at him an amused smile on her face.

Time had a way of passing slower when Bor'Nerty was around. His sobriety was a roller coaster in the hours to follow. He would stretch from one extreme to another.... a cunning and wickedly evil wheeler and dealer would become a crass and corny jokester from one moment into the next whilst he drank.
This was an effect of passive magic. It seemed that for as long as the infernal goblin was drunk/and or jovial, time would slow down as long as he was having a good time. Everyone in the pocket spell radius of the Drunken Dwarf would feel rejuvenated and relaxed.
The tiefling goblin sighed, realizing he had nearly completely given into one of his old habits. He had forgotten where he was.
Time would resume as normal, but he would glance around to make sure nobody seemed worried.
Gel would mention Winnie and his pointy ear would prick up.
"Hell yeah, Winnie- she's a hoot. Huge set of hammers that one has. I've seen em' up close, too, finely made, they hang right over the headboard of her- um... HEY, Well there, Gel- I might have just the thing that will work for you if you'd like to come along!" Bor'Nerty almost blushed as he drunkenly stumbled over his words. The wicked grin never left his face.
The goblin carefully reached into his jerkin pocket with well manicured hands and pulled out a small metal bell.
"I could regret this... but I have this thing, let's call it a... cat toy? Hear me out. It's something that nobody will buy, and I can't seem to get rid of it. The one thing I haven't tried is giving it away for free." he placed it on the bar and winced as it made a barely audible sound. "I believe this bell was made for a pet cat originally... but... I would imagine it would work for any feline big or small."
He squinted at her. "Try not to get too exited. This once belonged to one of the cats belonging to Freya... I believe there were two made originally. Ok, so for whatever reason, demons fear the ring of this bell. Don't ask me why, I don't know. You put this on a wristband or a ankle bracelet, or hell... even a tiny chain necklace or choker, it sounds like the trumpet of revelation to the pure bloods, well, at least I'm told. The one catch is that it doesn't work on me or other half breeds like me."
He shrugged, "Oh, and you can keep it as a gift, I don't want it back."
He took a huge sip of ale that had recently been refilled again. He elbowed Z'ress. "You're stuck with the cello for a while, kid. Sorry. ANYWAY! Change of subject-"
Bor'Nerty leaned on his drink as he addressed nobody in particular. "Hey, you know what I'm the perfect height for?"
"Sightseeing'!" He slapped his knee and fell over in a fit of giggling. He left the bell on the bar for Gel to take if she wanted it.

The little gnome was somewhat aware of a bon bon being shoved in her mouth and hijinx going on around her in the bar. After a moment her mind cleared and she straightened up from her collapsed squat on the floor. She blinked a few times, then looked around curiously. Glancing back and forth suspiciously, she stood up and dusted herself off. With a flick of her finger she shot an electric jolt into Bor'Nerty's ass. Not enough to wound, but enough to get his attention after the accordion and the bad joke.
"Ahem! Sorry about that everyone...that...eh...'instrument'...plays havoc with my draconic side. I tend to get a touch...unreasonable."
She would scowl at everyone darkly for a brief moment, defying anyone to say she was anything but reasonable any other time. Patting the back of Ilimetha's calf affectionately, she toddled over to Z'ress and gave his knee a good hug.
"It's okay, Zeddy....bars can be repaired and replaced. I've wrecked nicer stuff in my days. And you should see Lloth's priestesses howl and wail when I blow up her statutes and temples, Tee Hee! Makes my little 'outburst' seem tame by comparison!"
She would interlace her fingers, reversing her palms and stretching, cracking her knuckles and her little back before shaking her hands to loosen up.
"Gel...A'ly....Me-me and I are gonna blow this popstand! Try to make sure 'Nerty doesn't kill himself trying to rob me! On second thought, don't let him charm you into anything skanky...the Drunken Dwarf is not a pleasure house, though pleasures may be found! C'mon Me'me! It's been like, what....an hour since I've killed someone? I'm getting rusty already, tee hee!"

Gel would tilt her head to the side looking down at the pink goblin, She didn’t have to look to far as he was almost at eye level with her when he was standing on the stool. Her whiskers would raise but her eyes would dilate and darken dramatically. ‘It’s shiny.’ She’d whisper softly to no one in particular. Her eyes fixated on the ball that Nerty held. She listened although her visual attention didn’t deeter away from the shiny ball. At the mention of Freja she’d tear her eyes from the shiny object to focus back on the goblins. Giving him her full attention as he continued to explain more about the gift he offered her.
‘A gift?’ She asked inquisitively.
‘You wish for nothing in return?’ She asked suspiciously, even as her hand was alreadly stealthy moving in to accept the offered gift. She should’ve worried when he said he didn’t want it back. But it was shiny. And She loved shiny things. Once she held it in her hybrid hand, she’d lift it to one sharp ear and gently ring the bell to listen to the sound herself. To her it made sweet intoxicating notes that instantly made her smile and some what perky and playful. As soon as she stopped shaking it, the feeling would go away.
She’d clear her throat a little looking little awkward and refused to make eye contact relieved to hear her name being roll called to move out with the troops after all.
She’d wait for him to finish talking to shitass. She was in the middle of taking a healthy drink of her beer unaware that he had already finished talking to Zeddy and was now talking about his height and ‘sight seeing’. She spit her entire mouthful and some even went foaming up her nose. She had to turn away. She didn’t know how much longer she could handle this incorrigible creature.
After cleaning herself up she’d come back around to nerty to offer some parting words while winnie and ili figured things out.
‘Perhaps we make a trade later. I do no enjoy owing things. Or better still explain to me why you chose to gift me with a shiny object? Surely you’ve met other people like me more worthy of such a gift.’ She’d say to nerty slipping the ball into the inner pocket of her cloak.

Bor'Nerty had felt a bolt of electricity fire into him at some point after his accordion performance and after a joke he presumed was less than appreciated. Both were of course in bad taste, but the infernal goblin briefly pondered if he had deserved this. Although his goblin body had ached and become stiff with the electric shock, his demon physicality allowed him to shake the effect off and register it as pleasure.
He was having a really good night, and a music critic wouldn't ruin it for him.
"Good Riddiance, WInnie! I can hear you, ya know! And for what it's worth, I don't do anything skanky unless it is initiated first. I can SUGGEST said skankiness, but the sinner must do the sin. Demonic Law." He smirked with a sly grin. "Come on, you should know better, Corruption 101!"
He nodded graciously as Gel took the bell. It felt as a weight had been taken off of him suddenly, as he squared his shoulders up, it seemed he didn't slump forward as much, and he seemed slightly less goblinoid.
"Then take it as the initial payment for helping me out." he winced slightly, "STILL, still a gift. But something to keep the interest of this beautiful feline lady."
He had to admit he was laying it on a little thick even for him. A thought suddenly popped in his head.
"Wait... how did Z'ress's cello music affect Winnie?"

Z'ress wrinkled his gator maw into a smile when Niwyn hugged his leg. Then his brow arched at Gel. "Male gators are always hard Gel, but, the organ is internal and protected by scales. Think of it like a retractable spring loaded claymore, ready to strike in an instant. And sadly, there is nothing there to see but crotch plate Mr. Nerty." He would let out a calmn sigh and slung the cello over his shoulder as he stood up, giving him a turtle like appearance. He nodded about being stuck with the cello, it was a fine instrument. "Fair enough. Shall we?"

Aly smiled a little as Z'ress rinsed them that he was there. Poor kid. A white brow perked as Nerty appeared next to Z'ress and then launched into some story about who only knows what. Aly just shook her head and took a sip of her drink. A smirk played on her lips behind the glass. She'd nod a bit with a smile as Gel greeted her. Aly simply watched and listened to the going ons around her enjoying her drink. Her ear perked a bit as Ili commented about a discount.
"I might be able to arrange something." She winked.
She really was just enjoying being in good company and listening to the conversation. While she focused mainly on the group she did listen to other conversations for any tidbits that would be useful either now or future.
Aly watched with interest as Z'ress shifted into his hybrid thing. She was going to comment but decided it was better not too. He calmed down after Ili gave him some snacks. The accordion music seemed to help as well. Aly's focus shifted as Winnie came out and started raging. Aly chuckled, she couldn't help it. She thought Winnie was adorable angry even though she was deadlier than most would think. The chuckle turned to laugh as Ili shoved the bonbon in Winnie's mouth. Aly would give a sensuous smile as Ili asked for a kiss for good luck. She'd lean in and stop halfway as Nerty appeared. Aly rolled her eyes before planting one on Ili. She'd pull back, her lips hovering inches from Ili's lips.
"Enough luck for ya?
She winked before sitting back and relaxing again. She gave Winnie a grin.
"Don't worry, babes, I can handle being the adult here. I'll make sure nothing burns down."

Ilimetha would visibly flinch as Nerty poofed beside her for an air smooch before poofing back out of reach.
"Damndable Goblin. I didn't mean..."
That was when Aly's lips met hers. Her attention would snap immediately back to the vision of a Drowess that lingered before her, her warm breath caressing her lips as murmured only milimeters from Ilimetha's.
"Mmmhmm." It was about all the was able to get out as a shiver slipped down her spine and her tapered ear twitched. She had a weakness for beautiful things. Aly'dra was beautiful.
She'd clear her throat and take a step back as Aly pulled away and relaxed once more in her chair, shaking off the effects before she crawled over the bar to pull the other Drowess into a back room.
"Yup Winnie. Lets blow... er... Go. To the bazaar? Or should we venture higher up the ol' cobweb. We'll find any number of suitable Mother Killer in either location."
The bazaar of course held all kinds of traders. Mostly Drow. A lot of guilds. A lot of direct competition to House Barrajusron. And the higher up you climbed within the cone shaped cavern of Ched Nasad the richer and more influential of the Drow leaders would reside. Any of them would certainly be enough to give Nerty an edge.

He smirked at Z'ress. "Say, DId I ever tell you about the time I broke into Asmodeus's palace and got a hold of his prized collection of di-"
He stopped mid sentence, gripping the bar with his hands. Bor'Nerty's lip trembled slightly as he watched the two Drowess' kiss. "Nevermind, that story can be for later. .... huh... I feel pretty lucky to still have working eyeballs! Happy Hunting, ladies!"
He returned to his drink quickly, having been heavily distracted. As Z'ress began describing his package, Bor'Nerty's eyebrow raised. "I'm always up for a good mystery to sink my teeth into.... UM....but I'm not sure about that one..." he cackled at his own joke. "BWAHHAHAHHAH!"
~~~
The infernal goblin would be happy to wait for the soul, as long as the drink continued to flow.

Gel would just stare at Zeddy as he explained his gator version of male gentitalia. Her face unreadable. Grateful though when his attention turned back to the goblin. The silver ball securely in her pocket having accepted it from the goblin. She still wasn’t certain about how she felt about being gifted such a curious novelty by the pink little goblin.
Her sharp ears would turn back towards the conversation between the drows and the comments of Winnie, and she would turn her head and most of her body away from z’ress and nerty, as her attention was drawn away and it was clear that the boys were forgetting she was even there. Which was fine.
She’d turn in time to see the drows kiss, and raised a whiskered brow, but silently drank from her stein. She’d glance from Aly to Ili and winnie, as it was now made clear, they were being left with the hair trigger teenager and a most uncorgible goblin.
Gel hadn’t officially met Aly yet, so perhaps now was the time to do so. She’d make her way over to Aly’s side of the bar once it’d been cleared by Ili and Winnie. She’d set her ale cup down and cross her arms as she leaned on the bar next to the drow, glancing at the goblin and croc a thoughtful look on her face. Before she’d turn to the beautiful Drow, that Ili was clearly borderline obsessed with.
‘Do you think we’ll all make it out, or do you think this is a suicide mission?’ she’d ask Aly casually turning her hybrid feline face to her. ‘I’m Gel’hara by the way. And since it seems we’ll be accompanying each other on the same quest…you may call me Gel’ She’d smile a bit showing off her pointy kitty teeth.

Aly was aware of eyes on them but wasn’t bothered by it. She blew Ili one more kiss for good luck before taking a sip of her drink. Her eyes watched as Gel moved over towards her. She’d offer a smile. “Nice to meet you Gel, I’m Aly’dra but you may call me Aly.” She took another sip of her drink as she considered the question. “If it were a suicide mission I would not be going.” She chuckled a bit. “Seems we’re quite the group of misfits going on this adventure, no?” She’d nod a bit towards Nerty and Z’ress, as well as Winnie and Ili as they walked out. “It will be interesting if nothing else.” She offered another smile to the feline.
