Tavern Tales
The Aumanite Prohibition of the 1390s
In 1391 Auma sought to enforce their prohibition laws on intoxicating drugs and alcohol in their colonies. This of course caused issue as a great deal of the King's Daughter's income came from alcohol and other items considered to be intoxicating drugs by the Aumanite courts. Their solution for this was to sell high amounts of "coffee" as, while it was considered and intoxicating drug, it was a lesser offense that could be let off with a warning that nobody took seriously. This helped distract law enforcement from the secret selling of drugs and alcohol.
The laws were eventually repealled after the Vixen Party took the majority of the seats in the Aumanite National Congress. Later members of the opposing parties rarely touched on the subject again as prohibition prooved unpopular with voters.
The Hustler of Hassium
As a teen, Jane Bryar would hussle patrons here. Using her supernatural strength, she would armwrestle any willing contestant and collect the winnings from the bets she made. However, because her physical ability is directly linked to her moral standing on her actions, if someone who she believed to be in need went up against her she had no choice but to lose.
Once her dupes started to notice that the richest of strong men whould inevitably lose and that the weakest of widows would always win, she was forced to set up shop somewhere else.
The Metisian Sailors
The Toadmans have always strived to be cordial to all who come through their oaken doors, but there was one night where politness was thrown out the window—along with otherr things.
Henruk had just seated three Metisian sailors who were just new to port when one of the women called him "very beautiful." Though the compliment was a little unusual, he went with it in hopes they'd pay well. The compliments kept coming though and they kept staring at him.
Gertie certainly noticed, but as long as her husband wasn't bothered by it and wasn't flirting back, she decided not to do anything about it and just kept her eye on them from behind the counter. But then they got worse and began to make comments about what he'd look like naked, making Henruk extremely uncomfortable. When he asked them to stop they continued anyway.
Gertie had had enough. She marched right over to their table and said, "I don't know who you three think you are, but it seems your parents never taught you to mind. Now you can either appoligize to my husband or you can get out!.
The sailors made a half-hearted appologie, but didn't stop and the next time Henruk walked by one of them laughed and grabbed his ass. Both he and Gertie wanted them gone. And so Gertie fixed one of them a drink that was sure to scare them off.
When one of them to a drink from the last glass of beer that Henruk brought out, she was met with a mouth full of frog tounge. The sailor threw the glass to the wall behind the bar and Gertie sprung up from the ground, spitting out beer. Leeping over the counter, the Mrs. Toadman readied for a fight.
Cockily the sailors raised their Metisian magic, one weilding water, one weilding rock, and one weilding vine.

Good job. I like the story of Jane Bryar. The story of the Metisian Sailors seems unfinished, unless it is meant to be the start of an adventure. Looking forward to seeing the article when it is finished.
