"Ayee yess, lots of brekes and stabs. But I still prevail" Izzd finished off his meat and continued to guzzle his drink until it was near completion. Setting the bottle down and giggling slightly as he stood up and walked over to the bar,a strange look in his eyes and a devilish smile across his face.
"So you's got a slave mm? When I gets more money,feel like renting her out?" Izzd slurred and leaned over the counter,he figured if he came here to drink and spend his hard earned cash enough times. The bar keep might be a little more likely to rent out his slave for an hour or so. If so Izzd was sold,he would come here all the time to drink,eat and enjoy the company of a woman he could rent out at his leisure.

"No. Not her", Naki did his best to hold his ground against the stench that this Drow emanated, an affront to his sensitive nose now that he was so close. "She is my woman, nobody else touches her. Plus, she is an elf from the surface. Do you really want to handle one of those? An elf from the surface who has already been tainted by a demon. Spoiled". Naki smiled twistedly. "Even if your standards steep so low as to tolerate a female like that, your peers would kill you on the spot as soon as you step out of this place".
Naki frowned momentarily. He didn't remember seeing a member of an usually proud and pompous race like the Drow, behave with the dignity of a human beggar. He thought fleetingly about what Priestess Ghaunka might think of all this, before adding, "And this is not a brothel. Go find your own woman among the slave traders, or go up there and capture one".

"A woody elf? Sheesh,I'd sooner cuts if offf then mate with a wooody elf. I sought maybe she wass a dunymer. One of tha Drow long since escaped to surfaces, noooone knows why. This is damns good drink usstan abbil" Izzd cringed at the thought of mating with a wood elf, they were pompous and impure creatures. Scampering about the surface like insects that should be devoured by the almighty Lolth. He was still a surly drunk at this point,but the Drow metabolism allowed them to sober up quickly.

"Doesn't surprise me. Just remember that this one is off limits, be it to use or to cut". A threatening glare sparked off Naki's wolven eyes but it vanished in an instant, unlikely to have been caught by the Drow of earthy stench.
"Thanks for the compliment. Your tab is up, if you want another one you'll have to pay it". Naki himself was astounded that he was handling this drunk so calmly. It wasn't serenity, it was business mind. This Drow was a paying customer, and such customers had put him through far worse than just standing close to unwanted smells. Plus he had a partner to think of. So the quill and the parchment were off the bartop, and the Drow customer had the Wolf demon's undivided attention for the time being.

"HA! You thinks me a scoundrel don't you? You call me a scoundrel..and I call you yer name. By the way mines Izzd Noquar, mercenary, assassasassin, drinkzer, gambler and ladieses man" Izzd laughed and stumbled slightly,regaining his balance and blinking slow and hard. He was having a slightly hard time seeing straight,though he knew this would be short lived. He would be sober in half hour to an hour,then he will have to find something else to kill the time. Perhaps there was more fun to be had in Au Shinduago.

"Charmed". The word oozed sarcasm, though it would most likely be missed by Izzd in his current intoxicated state. "I go by the name of Naki, and I have no surname to speak of. I am a bartender of many trades".
Naki pulled up a tankard and shoved a rag in it to clean it up. "So what's it gonna be? You gonna want another round? Remember, it will not be on the house".

Feeling like returning to see the current work on the tavern, Ghaunkah settled to sneak inside under disguise. She stopped a block away from the tavern, stopping in a alleyway. She then grinned twistedly to herself then altered her visage as well as scent, holding a small pinch of spider silk in her hand mixed with rose petals. She then closed her eyes chanting the divine illusion spell and her image altered into a slightly taller female noblewoman drow, wearing a red cocktail dress that held slits up the side to her thighs. She looked more seductive over the feared image she carried with her priestess robes. She wanted to see how the tavern fared in her absence with that wolf demon. Holding a small matching red purse in her hand, she moved the last bit of distance into the tavern, looking about , It seemed to be fairing well and moderately busy. moving the tuck of hair slightly from the front of her eye, she moved over to the bar, claiming a seat at the counter instead of a table. She looked over at one of the goblins that was carrying an empty tray and she resisted the urge to enforce her presence but instead spoke in a calm manner. "You there, bring forth Falarian wine with a side of caviar and medium rare rothe meat" She ignored the looks from the other servants that were looking at what appears to be a noble woman wearing no armor. Perhaps she could be highly trained in arcane arts or Lloth knows what but they did not wish to figure out for now. Adjusting the smooth dress that rested over leg, she moved one leg crossing it over the other as she turned and pressed her back against the counter, looking around the tavern.

While talking to the intoxicated Izzd, Naki noticed the arrival of another female Drow. This one carried herself with more elegance, and feminine grace. Her cocktail dress and her fragrance seemed tailored to fascinate a man. A seductress, probably. A hedonistic noblewoman that enjoyed alluring the males nearby. A second or third sister of her House with nothing else to do but flaunt her beauty.
As the new arrival settled herself against the counter, he couldn't help but wonder what would happen when she and Izzd, the alcohol-stupefied, woman-happy assassin, clashed as it was inevitable. He also found sort of amusing that she had got herself within range of Izzd's earthy smell. But hey, what do you expect to find in a tavern if not drunk patrons.
Having noticed that she had already given her order to a nearby servant, he didn't bother asking what she needed. He merely kept watch as the slave brought in the requested food and drink, and thought with an inner snicker what Izzd would say if he realized the tavern did have items aside from bugbear meat.
Naki held forth a bare arm boasting a musculature that would surely be highly sought after had the demon followed a career as a masseur, and took the tray from the imp, setting it on the table. "That'll be 4 gold and 17 silver, ma'am". From the looks of her, she had the coin to settle her tab, but with Drow you never know. Straightforwardness helps sometimes.

She did not move as the order was brought to her but she heard someone address in her direction and she glanced over at the male and a mysterious grin crept across her lips. She lifted up the cup near her and the image shimmered from a goblet into a thin elegant type glass and she lifted it up in a silent congratulatory gesture.  After that she turned away, taking a small sip from the cup and then placed the glass down. She then grabbed a small parcel that looked like a off white colored cracker and dipped it in the caviar before taking a bite, closing her eyes, holding the image of lust perfectly over her expression. The goblin that was in front of the counter, looked at Ghaunkah in a surprised expression, dropping a plate onto the ground and the sound of it shattering made the high priestess open one eye slightly at the reaction, suppressing her amusement. (( xd im evil ))

Naki's expression was unreadable, as was to be expected in a black-skinned face with remarkably wolven traits, sharp fangs and savage eyes one of which is crossed by a scar. The trick with the goblet didn't seem to faze him either. She was probably being silly, or she was trying to distracting from collecting her tab. He would let her have her moment, but she was not escaping without paying. Even if she disguised her looks he would track her down by scent.

After she finished consuming to her fill, she opened her red small purse and pulled out a small red vial. The goblet that was near her, lost its illusion properties, reverting back into its original state and she then put the red tiny container to her lips, downing the contents. It felt like a wave of blessing was passing over her body giving her the most warm look in her eyes. Inside the vial was pure blood but no one needed to know that as she tucked away the vial into her purse covering it up. It was always a task to consume any type of meal that did not contain pure blood from a living being that was blessed by Lloth herself. Taking a moment to let the blood coarse through her veins, her reddish eyes fell onto the wolf demon that held a sense of authority, looking like he already belonged. "I take it that you manage this place?"

"Yes ma'am". Naki hardly gave a nod. All that trickery and mysterious movements did nothing but put him on edge. But doing his best to stay calm -and restrain his instinct- he looked straight into her gaze with his feral yellow eyes. The only sign of his state what the slow swinging of his tail, which was out of sight for the entire place.
"If you have any issues about this tavern, you can discuss them with me. Though if there's anything else in your mind and you think I can help, I'm listening". Naki never let a chance to get some mercenary work pass him by.

For a moment, she almost spoke out of character but then she closed her eyes and emitted a soft sigh. "Yes there is something you can do. There is a book that is--" She paused as a goblin that had dropped the plate earlier aws still staring at her. "Is there someplace else we may go to conduct the business?" She glanced back at the creature near her and she glared in disapproval tho inside she was building her rage. "Rude little creatures here, should be properly corrected"

This time the twisted smile that curved Naki's lips was genuine. The goblin tried to run, but the demon was too fast. Propping his entire weight on a single hand atop the counter, he swung his legs effortlessly above and past it, landed noiselessly thanks to his enchanted boots and grasped the imp's neck, lifting the goblin to see its ugly face.
"It's the cage for you tonight, imp". Keeping hold on the goblin without much regard for its airways, he went into the backroom and shortly after he returned alone. Bowing courteously he gestured towards one of the curtained stalls set along the lateral walls of the place, went in and closed the curtains behind the Drow lady. He waited for her to sit down before claiming his own seat.
"I'm listening".

Ghaunkah regarded the action as he went to tend to the nosey creature. With fast motion and feeling mischievous, she pulled out a small pinch of powder that was tucked in a little cloth under her wrist sleeve and poured it onto the surface of the counter. It began to move on its own, harnessing its own life and moved into the form of a spider and crept across the counter and down the side onto the ground, settling in a corner in silence. When Naki returned ,she followed his gesture into the curtained stall, keeping an eye on his motion as she claimed her seat preparing herself again when it was silent. "As i was saying, there is a book that is precious to me that were taken by a band of tannaruks on the outskirts of Au Shindago. I woudl ask of my Matron Mother or anyone of the house to tend to the matter but there are other dealings to where other matters are more important than this item. It holds inside old arcane spells as well as an envelope inside that i has important content that i care not to tell you about" She paused for a moment to push back the lock of her hair, looking into the demons eyes. "You seem the type that can perform this task with little trouble, and payment will be no trouble. I can give you half now and other half on your return. What do you think?" She was beginning to weave her web to perform what will be a hard task but not impossible. "These creatures have been reported to hold a shaman goblin with them to make matters worse"
