since when was there a Boogre Bar 4??? ah heck, let's juz enjoy this while we can!!!
oh olli...........about wat u said........*ahem* :D

i would like a boogre brew please

Looks like that makes me #3 to take Olli up on his offer. One brew, please... on his tab.

Free beer. YeeHaa.

haha, olli practices vine, i practice moon! maybe i should help olli guard the free drink thickets till the other 2 ppl get here.......WHILE i get my boogre brew! :D

Guess I'll claim one of those brews then! ;)

Wyv

Me? Drink someone else's beer? C'mon, Olli -- I wouldn't do anything quite so criminal as that!

Okay, Kev, here's your ticket... and Wyv, here's yours.

*limps in off the road*

"Ye Gods! I sure could use a drink...even if I have to pay for it! Been traipsing around after that girl Dorothy and her little dog. Had to follow her from that Kansas land all the way to that place called Texas. Then the little snit somehow backtracked on me all the way back home! Go figure...spend a week chasing a girl and a dog and all you do is end up back home."

"Barkeep! If there aren't any free ones lying about, I'll be more than happy to start a new 5 freebies...as long as my glass gets filles first [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Free beer bhaah give me a wine *wink*

Another new bar. I like it tidy and clean. Good job Jafin. :D Re-installed W&W the other day and when I was approaching the crypt, my attention got diverted. Returned to the computer 2 minutes later and my whole party was dead. Oooops! LOL! :D Now hand me some of the brew. ;)

*Walks in after a easy fight with Scabban*
*Walks to to the Bar Keep*

"Jafin is my old Job still open. Ya know the one I had from the Boogre Bar 2"
*Grabs a drink and sits down*

"I should tell a story of how my life has been in the outside world."

Lets hear it Loumistro.

*pulls up a chair* Okay, Lou, let's hear it. What's been happening?

Barkeep! Lou's next one is on me, as long as he gets to storytelling.

Okay Well I want the drink, so I will tell my story. The outside world is okay. I had alot of fun in the world. A 15 year old boy hangin with some friends gets fun at sometimes. But I am sick of one thing. GIRLS, it is like they are out to crush me. But I just can't stop chasing. Now I am looking for a new one. Jeez I guess I hunt and hunt for girls more than I do Mantraps. Now that is pretty bad. I was crushed about 5 times this year. I had 6 g/f's last year. I went to prom as a froshmen guy. I did so much and yet it wasn't too much fun. The one thing I have to say about the outside world is that it sucks compared to the Gael Serran. I am going to come around more often now. Who knows maybe I will become a regular again. Well I have more stories to tell about the world but I am going to do that over time.

Well cya all for now.

This is my first time in the bar. Since I am a temperate person, I was wondering if I could have non-alcoholic boogre brew? That was a stupid question, right? I should have known that those misshapen clods would never think of brewing non-alcoholic beverages - especially since they have to mix drinks that will make them abstract from the poison of the Pit Crawler.
Well, then I guess I will take a decaffeinated Mana Max Potion, thank you.
As to the sharing of stories, I suppose we could always discuss a pretty irritating, embarrasing one, which I should think you have all experienced! Namely the one about getting caught in a fight in a tight spot while giving one's characters attack commands in fast succession until suddenly realizing, that one accidentally cast a firestorm on the enemy who happens to be standing about two feet away. I've grilled a lot of my party members that way... Sigh!

LOL! Bsftcs, you're not the first person to do this... for me, it's those nasty quickspells that do me in.

*WAAAUUUGGGHHH!!!! Mantrap!!!*

*QUICK! Cast spell -- get out of here!*

*What's that falling from the sky?*

*OH NOOOOOOOO!!!!! RUUUNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!*

Yep, done that one before. I'm not sure who was laughing more as it was going on -- me, realizing the futility of my actions, or the Hydra, watching the silly adventurers turn into crispy critters.

Cup of coffee to me!
Black, no sugar or mana seeds!

*hörps... Aahh...*
That should keep me awake for next 3 maths lessons...
( Quit studying that Vine magic, I think it sucks... )

And Loumistro, it get's easier at the end... I know, I had those same problems too ;) Now I have the most beautiful and kind and charming and... ( many other positive adjectives... ) girlfrind in the world!

But let us hear another story, I buy you a beer when you enter here again!

hahahahaha, but how can the firestorm spell hurt your own party members??? the last time i cast it right in front of me i didnt get hurt at all, could this be a bug???

Hi! This is my first time in this place. I came in here because I heard tales of a guy driving his ship into a shrine. I just had to check it out for myself.
Beer, please.

If you have sufficient protection from fire (or ice) (and from magic, I think), you can cast storm spells with impunity. By the end game, you can grab 'em nose-to-nose and make it happen.

In the early game, the storm critters will affect you as well as the monsters involved. Try it with a low-level character and watch what happens. ;)

WHAT!?!?!?!?

Antoher Story. Jeez, c'mon give me a break. I use to tell stories in here all of the time. I am not going to start out with the cool ones. But I will tell of the time that my friend got in a fender bender in his car.

It was a dark in stormy night, Okay it was really a nice afternoon notta cloud in the sky. Well I can't make up my mind, dark and stormy or clear. Oh well either way that doesn't affect the story. Okay well I was in the car with him. We were going down a country road. He got in a fender bender going 102 ( He hit the breaks obviously, otherwise I don't think I would be here). The other people were in a van. We knew the person otherwise we would be srewed. Well I went home got on the internet. I made the kid famous. I told everyone in our school that he was paralized. It was so funny. I said he may not live. I told them all kinds of crap. Well he got a bunch of phone calls from girls. It was so funny he actually thought they liked him. After he found out what was up. He was so pissed at me. Oh well I got a good laugh out of it.

Well, if it's confession time....

Not only is there the favourite of toasting your own party, there's the frantic clicking on the nasties with nothing happening because your character has a healing spell readied.

And the best.....

After playing the game, seriously, for about 4 weeks and getting annoyed with having to "Pool" my gold around the party I've just realised you can divvy gold
like you can any other multiple item.

DOH!!!!!!!

I hate to tell you I have got a better one:
It was not until last week that I discovered that donating money to one of the temples improves one's character's presence. I completed the game about a year ago without realizing this. And on this, my second time around I first discovered it after having reached level 24 presence with all my party members!

Loumistro
I had some problems with my father's car too several years ago.
I was driving trought the road over 100km/h and hit the tree...
It was 30cm width tree and broked, s my dads car too...
I only hit my head into glass and hurt my arm too.
The safety belt burnet into my skin and it had to cut out of my body.
I tought that it was all over, until I crashed another time 3-4 weeks ago...
Now it wasn't my fold, but car broked quite well ( it cost 6000€ to fix it :( )

So what we learned from here?
Drive saftely and watch out for other drivers..
It's not enought that you drive like all should, there can be others that doesen't

And now Loumistro, let's drink some cool Stout Ale! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...ons/icon14.gif

awwhor.......lou! how can u be so cruel?! well, maybe a bit also can lar, but causing a bunch of girls to call that person up................................ how do you do it??? :D

I entered through the swing door and strolled casually up to the bar. But I could hardly recognize the place. Was this really the place where up until recently there had been a constant din of visiting guests logging on and off? I went out again into the forum to check, but sure enough: This WAS the Boogre Bar. I went back inside, the thud of my boots resounded in the bar room as they left their marks in the damp saw dust. The bartender looked up from the bar counter grunting while still resting his chin in his hand. "What'll it be?", he asked scratching his loin. I was about to ask him where all the guests had gone when I suddenly realized that it had been quite a long while since the last time I was here, and thus my Boogre accent was a bit rusty. I paused for a moment to recollect how speak this dialect. I pushed forward my lower jaw, so that my underhung jaw almost reached the counter, and with a guttural voice, speaking as if I had a hot potato stuck in my throat, I asked him: "Uhm... where are uh... duh other guests"? He looked atme as if I were completely mad I suddenly remembered that boogres do not have a longer memory than about 24 hours. Realizing that he was not able to help me I sat down on the bar stool with a resigned jolt that made my chain mail rattle.
4 days!!! had it really been that long since any other guests had been here. Once again I checked the list of visitors to the topic, and yes: It had really been four days.
Ordering my usual decaffeinated Mana Max Potion I pondered my move. What was I to do to make my friends at the forum visit the bar more often. Realizing that I myself was not that regular a visitor I devised a simple plan: How about if I made the Boogre Bar appear on top of the forum? But to do so I had to post a reply, and to post a reply I had to have an embarrassing story or something like that to tell. So here is my list of top five embarrassing mistakes in the Gael Serran:
1. When playing the game first time I completed the game without ever finding out what happened when donating money at a temple. I just thought it was a waste of money.
2. I once equipped my top wizard with a staff of summoning. I did not hear the clink when equipping the weapon, and thus I did not realize that it was cursed until much later, when the curse had already zapped her for quite a number of statistics points.
3. I did not realize that entering either the Priest Guild or the Bushi Dojo would reset the quest to ascend to the role of monk. That caused my priest many days of running around naked while I cursed what I believed to be a bug in the game.

And last but not least the old classics:

4. The lever at the crypt took me three days to find.
5. Having fended off the pit crawler in the Boogre Caves just long enough for my wizard’s mana to recharge I forgot to change the spell before casting it thus incinerating both the pit crawler and my party with a firestorm.

I hope you fine ladies and gentlemen will join me in the bar again shortly.

Cat with a hat enters bar, checks no weapons at check station;
glances around, takes one quick step for cat kind, ten steps for man kind, and places a order for a cup of warm milk. Strolls over to his old favorite spot in the back corner, puts his paws up, and takes a long sip from warm milk.

Listens to the new din of raw recruits, and fantasizes about the last decision he made. Yeap, it was the correct one. There are lots of hard working adventurers here, fighting the forces of evil, and gaining experience with it all.

Felix is back, though he lives a very properous and event filled life in a land called Vanderfell, (Morrowind for some). He has managed a long stroll back to the Gael Serran.

Cat removes hat, and ever so quickly lets the red hood of his assassins cowl slip back. To reveal.

CETS HEAD!! HA!HA!HA!HA!

Guess Whos Back.

Hi felix!!! long time no see [img]smile.gif[/img]

Just entered here to drink hot currant juice!
I'm feeling sick, I have hight fever... :(
Now back into bed, *köh* hope I get well before exams starts...

Felix, the most feared assassin in the land... good to see you again!

Barkeep! Make sure Felix stays happy, if you please.

So, living in the land of Morrowind, eh? Glad to see you could stop by for a visit. What else has been going on?

Loumistro,
Regarding driving cars. Brakes are the MIDDLE pedal on the floor. Not what happens when you hit a tree.

Hey Yo B.
Yeap, got a water front mansion near the city of Vivec, a nice Villa just on the outskirts of Balmora. Have my own secluded cave along the Oadi river.
I'm running amuck at the moment and have yet to continue the main story.

My appearance has changed slightly, I wear black leather armor (acquired from an ancient vampire) It really makes my targets unsettled when I honorably execute them with my writs of execution through the Morag Tong (assassins guild)

Back at home, wondering where the real world is going to place me any day now.

Felix

Dear friends, lords, ladies, fellow adventures and clansmen; ye noble heroes of varied foreign visage from far flung origins: I greet you all. I beg you to delve deeply into your gallant souls and display a gracious tolerance for this weary wan manifestation, this sick sad sorry spectacle which I present to you within your most hallowed sanctuary from the foul slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.

‘Tis the first time that I have sought comfort and solace from the rigours of fighting for justice and honour within a boogy bar or tawdry tavern. Till now all I wanted or needed was to sit around a companionable blaze and sing of heroic deeds and fallen tyrants under the arching diamond-speckled sky. I knew no weakness. I feared no foe, nor hesitated to face any malevolent, malicious monster whose evil and devious plots and machinations were oft’ rehearsed and reported around the camp fire. Even He, most feared of all, could not disturb my peaceful dreams.

But today I stand before you unhinged, bent of body, my ears echoing on and on, around and around, with the sound of helpless, hopeless, humiliating defeat.

Ignoring all hints and warnings from yourselves and many others I confidently, blithely, innocently, strode in to face HIM. His attacks were multitudinous, but seemed at first too light and measured to cause alarm. No single blow could bow the head or bend the knee. And yet I was relentlessly ground down. He bored into my soul. Without a pause, without drawing breath He battered my patience and courage past the boundary of sanity.

Unrelenting and totally remorseless he infected me. Now I despair. I am riddled and convoluted with his disease. It thrives in my every word and deed.

Dear friends, lords, ladies, fellow adventures and clansmen; ye noble heroes of varied foreign visage from far flung origins: I greet you all ................

Sebastio. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Dandad.

WHOA! Hi Felix! [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img] Where have you been? Exploring the Serran or the real world? Share your experiences with the rest of us please. [img]smile.gif[/img]

[ 02-07-2003, 05:37 PM: Message edited by: WillowIX ]

BARKEEP!!!!!!

Slip this into Dandad's next drink. It'll knock him out for a couple of hours, long enough for all of us to get the heck out of here.

Anyone infected with Sebastio's verbal diarrhea should simply throw themselves on the nearest sword and hope for a quick end...

Unless....

Perhaps....

We can create a potion to offset the effects...

Any ideas?

Wow, we got old friends popping in again ( [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img] to Lou and Felix) and several people new to the bar ( [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img] to them as well)! Business is kicking up again! Oh and bsftcs, I may run the Boogre Bar, but I'm NOT a boogre! The reason I gave you that strange look wasn't because my memory doesn't span more than 24 hours, but because I was astounded you were talking like a boogre!

Anyhoo.... Glad to see everyone enjoying themselves... and just because I'm in a generous mood, a free round on the house!

-Jafin

Well I am glad not to be the only person returning after leaving the board for a while. Welcome Felix. Well incase you guys didn't know me and jafin are working on a new wizards & warriors rp site. So wish us luck in making that. You guys should all join it when it is done. It is going to be based off of the game. It is going to be pretty real.

*walks behind the bar*

boy does it feel good to have my old job back.

Welcome back, Felix! *grabs a couple brews (one warm milk) and heads over to the back table*

You know, it seems to me there was a dagger around here awhile ago that played a few water sports in the bar... I wonder if we could find that dagger and re-enchant it with a modified silence spell...that way, the water (and scuba diver even) would lodge in Dandad's throat keeping him silent. Of course we might have to futher enchant it with breath of air so he could at least breathe...
