A night of drinking and maiming

I sat with my misfits in one of the many Zyniii taverns enjoying a well deserved drink. I had spent ages washing that sewer waste off me but i still did not feel completely clean. The Lupo prisoner, who had informed us that his name was Ocumwhowurst, had come along to the tavern with us. I could not help but notice how handsome he was and was hoping i would get the chance to form a more intimate bond with him. Plus it could not hurt my chances if i offered to show him around Zyniii since he had spent most of his time here in a cage.
 
He briefly told us about the horrible things he had endured as the Triad's prisoner, I was sad to hear how much he had suffered. Occasionally he would refer to the Skye father during conversation. The name sounded vaguely familar but i could not recall any details. I was familar with the name of his tribe however and remembered that they dwelled not too far from my tribe's lands. Arthom seemed to know who the Skye father was and reminded me that this was a god, who is a giant eyeball in the sky. Now that would be a startling thing to see in the night sky amongst the stars.
 
I spoke with Ocumwhowurst briefly about our homeland, it felt nice to reminisce about my country with a fellow Lupo. I asked him what he missed about our homeland and he answered that he missed his tribe's sacred tree and his parents. I thought about my family and how much i missed them. I prayed that my family missed me too and would be happy to see me when i eventually returned home.
 
Arthom's master Illayana turned up at the tavern that night which was a nice surprise. Apparantly she had been looking for Arthom and had run into the Gleam boys who helped her locate us. It turned out Arthom's accidental shape-shift at Prince's Liuni's gathering was actually a curse, and she was here to help him get rid of it. I would not be surprised if Saib's attack had something to do with it, Arthom made sure to let his feelings of Saib be known to Master Illayana. Fingers crossed this problem does not turn into a major headache for Arthom.
 
I bought Ocumwhowurst a firewhiskey in the hopes that we would continue to converse and get to know eachother better. I had managed to have a brief conversation with him but i found that i was more tongue tied then usual. My idea backfired however, he had a bad reaction to the drink which caused him to run out screaming and set fire to a tree outside from the flames caused by the drink. My first experience with that drink was not exactly smooth but i dont remember it being that bad. The majority of us ran out to help him and Ko Rava used her magic to douse the fire. I was worried this had left him with a bad impression of me, surely i would find a way to improve my chances with him.

We were then attacked by members of the Triad and defeated them. With my bow and arrows i was able to shatter both kneecaps of one of those Triad bastards and Syrus dispatched another by shooting an arrow into it's eye. Zyanya engulfed one in scorching flames whilst Ko Rava drew runes in the air with her sword, which caused one Triad member to claw itself to death. Gosh what images did she conjure in that Mokuna's mind to make it maim itself like that.
 
I also got to see first hand why Master Illyana was Arthoms mentor, she shape-shifted her hand into a massive animal paw and tore open a Triad's throat using her razor sharp claws. Ocumwhowurst got his revenge on a Triad gang member by slashing at it with his claws, and then used a form of magic to cause the smoking stump of the burnt tree to fly through the window and slam the Triad member against the wall.
 
Once we finished dealing with the Triad members we got back to our drinks and continued to chat, all thing considered it was a good night.
