Probably Not The Best Bar - Baltimore, MD - Sunday Afternoon

[magnusrushesin]

Teaching was all well and good, but even with some shark killing thrown in there, it was sort of... boring. When you got used to adventuring all the time on some epic quest, you got used to constant excitement.

That would be why Magnus had figured out this world's version of Craig's List (which didn't involve a gnome named Craig) and had dragged Taako along for what he could only hope would be a great adventure. And not something that would leave them running from the law.

Or learning why M4M was not a posting Magnus needed to be answering.

"You think they have cider here?"

Taako gave Magnus a thumb's up. He also looked over at the exit because if this went south he was running out of here so fast.

Or sending himself to the astral plane. Whichever one was easier.

[magnusrushesin]

Yeah, yeah. Blink your way out of problems.

Magnus grinned wider when a swing was taken at him and initiative had to be rolled. Because fuck yeah, he was getting in a good fight.

"This is a great trip!"

[taakosgoodhere]

"Glad to see you're enjoying your--" Taako stopped abruptly when an ugly leather clad guy grabbed his shoulder. "Uh I want no part of this, I didn't roll initiative."

[magnusrushesin]

"Hey!" Magnus shouted at Ugly Dude hassling Taako, distracted enough to get a blow to the head for his trouble. He knew he should have brought along his shield to up his AC here.

Time for an improvised weapon of a chair. Which he was proficient in due to his carpentry background, thank you very much.

Taako held up his umbrella threateningly. "I will magic missile you to hell and back, my dude, don't think I won't!"

Which of course was when someone shouted they were calling the cops.

[magnusrushesin]

Magnus smashed his +1 to bar fights chair over the head of the guy threatening Taako.

"Hey, do you think I'll get fired if they arrest us?" he asked, using his second attack on the nearest Leather-clad Dude.

[taakosgoodhere]

"Uh, probably." Which would not be great. So Taako did some quick thinking to make their escape.

Meaning he threw his drink into another leather dude's face and then threw the glass for good measure. "Run!"

[magnusrushesin]

Which just made Magnus crack up as he grabbed Taako by the shoulder to run out of there as sirens started blaring. "Why didn't you learn to teleport us? That should be a priority spell!"

[taakosgoodhere]

"That seems like cheating!" At least from a DM standpoint. "Just run--we got the money anyway."

Which was the important thing.

[magnusrushesin]

Well. The DM could suck it.

No, that was mean. The DM worked very hard and they deeply appreciated it.

Magnus skidded around a corner as blue and red lights illuminated the street, pulling Taako along with him. "Man, we could use a battle-wagon right now."

Maybe next time they should meet their potential employers in the masks. Yes. Magnus could tell people he was a bear and his friend, the mongoose in the M4M section. Great plan, that.
