Wow was that an epic fail.
I had chose GB then read some "Expert's" articles and took the chance because of the rivalry.
Won't be reading them any more.

Topic: Voyages of Rocinante - Serenity/Firefly RPG Subject: Asher Escort Service......
Kim gave Asher a look that was as a slate and then brought out a earthenware bottle, a highball glass while dropping two ice cubes in the glass and passing it to the Kid. "Closest I can do you. You want something else, the Honeydew will do ya." and he walked away.
Asher looked at the bottle and signed quietly. He picked it up and gave the lid a whiff to confirm his suspicions - Mudder's milk. It wasn't the first time he'd been served Mudder's when he asked for milk.
The Redhead grabbed the clay bottle and poured it to the top of the glass for Asher. "You want to keep up or just looking?" she asked with a smile. "You don't look like a ranch hand." She poured herself another shot of whiskey and looked Asher over again gesturing towards his nether region, "You know how to use that or is it just for show?"
"No..I mean yes ,I mean.. I ain't a ranch hand and yes I've been told it works just fine." Ash pushed the glass of Mudder's milk to the side, "This won't help me keep up..it just won't help matters any." As the Kid flashed his boyish smile Wolf interrupted. "Need a favor Ash" as Wolf took off his Beretta's and Desert Eagle holsters with the weapons still in them. Then pulling out one of his 2 combat knives he handed all to Ash.
"Need you to hold my weapons for me, I gotta do some recon and don't want to look to menacing. I got my Derringer, 1 combat knife and my utility knife so I should be good for what I got planned. If you don't hear from me in 3 hours tell the Captain that I went here"
Giving him the address and the gear, Wolf headed off.
Weighted down with Wolf's gear draped over his shoulders Ash chuckled,"Well it looks as if I'd at least be able to protect you,. I don't mean to be too forward but do you need escort anywhere?"

Topic: Looking for Suggestions on a Party Name Subject: MY thought.....
Well they are a group for hire then they would take a name that would get them work. Most groups would over rate themselves to get attention or to seem famous. Maybe something like "Quest Masters" or "Master Seekers" or "Quest Lords."
If there is a leader then you could use their name, "Williams's Warriors", "Stephen's Steadfast", David's Dragon Lords".
To me it just needs to be boastful.
Maybe that can help generate ideas.

Topic: Making my little introduction Subject: Welcome......
Well it's a little late to give a towel, but here is one anyway. Getting that Eol drool off sometimes takes some effort.
Time to add the Ody welcome.
A really good place to start here is "Pit F(r)iend's epic guide to getting started for newbies." That will help you figure out how to navigate the halls of the Inn.
To meet folks in real time pop into the DragonChat.
Here at the Inn I act as the current resident bartender in the common room. We offer our very own "Good Old Froth-n-Slosh", the stale pale ale that is so light it has the foam on the bottom.
Just grab a mug off the shelf and draw a cold frosty one.
My assistant Igor is usually lurking around if I'm not there.
He never says anything, must have something to do with having his tongue cut out by his last boss, that nasty bar tender over at the Angry Orc Bar & Grill.
I'll have him put out a plate of "Lady Fingers" in your honor.
Reminds me we need to have another "Ladies Night" and restock.
Anyway the "Posting Games" are great place to get to know folks and of course the DragonChat is our favorite lounge.
So lurk or play, welcome to the Inn

Topic: Voyages of Rocinante - Serenity/Firefly RPG Subject: Slaughterhouse..........
Ash piloted the mule over the road to the town of Necessity. The landscape had the same look of somany places he'd seen before. But there was always something new or different if you just watched. Eagel Eye guided them into town and to a three-story building with no patio or veranda outside.
There is a large well-dressed man at the door who carrying a sidearm, who greets Eagle-Eye pleasantly as well as you when you approach and opens the door. Inside, the main floor consists of many tables and chairs, and a long bar area across the back. There hoste gave a quick lay of the land to them.
The bar was tended by a well dressed Asian man (Kim) who was on the fatty side of stout. The place had a lot people but it is not packed. The second floor hugs the exterior walls of the place and is open to the main floor from above. Access via two sets of stairs on either side of the building. The second floor is all tables and chairs, as far as you can see and according to your host, that is where the higher stake poker games happen. The third floor is Rancher Lodge only, and is a number of rooms that members can use for business or pleasure as they see fit.
"There be rules here, Kim don't put up with trouble so don't give any. You get one warning and then you are out. You are here on my word so I'd appreciate it if we kept things civilized." He says and gives a smile to Wolf." No fighting. Do not draw a weapon unless you hear a siren or someone yells, reavers, Women serve food and booze here - nothing else. You looking for company, the Honeydew will do ya. Oh, if you do here sirens, there a basement there," He points to a trapdoor in the centre of the room. "Men head to doors and window and defend, women and young'un go to basement first, then we orderly retreat. If we breached, the door is sealed and we take care of each other - you catch my meaning."
Eagle did not head to the second floor but toward a six-person table where four players were playing poker. They all followed behind, "Evening gentlemen," he said as he approached and points to one of the empty chairs, "Where's Ernest?"
The man dealing barked a laughed, "Oh he ain't gonna here tonight. Got himself a woman that won't say no so he is occupied."
"Really? When did he meet her?"
"Recent hire of serving staff as I understand it. Apparently she likes to serve him more than dinner." The other men at the table laugh and ante in.
"Oh. Well good for Ernest. He could use a little TLC. Or a lot. Either way gentlemen, this here is (introduces all who are there). This here is Dimitri, he's a sheep wrangler."
Dimitri, the dealer, nods and smiles, "Nice to meet you. Sheep wrangler is not as dirty as Eagle makes it sound."
"This here is Giles, a cattle rancher."
"Pleasure," Giles replies doffing his bowler hat to reveal a balding head.
"This is Hiram. He ain't a farmer but we let him hang out."
"And I am so honoured by your letting me lose too. Evening." Hiram stands and makes a point of shaking everyone's hand.
"Enos - he owns the general store."
Enos nods without saying anything.
And this is Jeremiah, another cattle rancher. We got a lot of them in these parts.
"Hello!" Jeremiah says like he has discovered a gold coin. His gaze is fixed directly on Fenris.
Eagle pats Wyatt on the shoulder and gestures slightly to the bar at a man in a tweed suit, sitting alone. "That there is Saul Potter. I can take you over to him if you like and introduce you - before we start a new hand. Or if you'd like to join the game - Ernest's good fortune can be yours as well. We don't play big money, we just like a social game. He is likely to be there all night. We can grab a couple of chairs if you boys want to join. The more the bigger the pot."
As Eagle and Wyatt converse, Jeremiah gets up and walks over to Fenris. He is not a tall man but next to the Mechanic, he looks very small. "Excuse me sir! Would you like to fight? Not Me! I mean fight in a ring?" He turns to Eagle-Eye, "Is he a ranch hand with you?"
Eagle looks over to Jeremiah and then to Wolf. He laughs and reaches into his pocket and pulls out some platinum pieces and hands them to Wolf. "There you go. That is for the work on the fence this afternoon." Then he looks at the shorter man, "He's a hand now. Go to it. If you can convince him, I'd bet on him against Bart."
"See we got a fight thing going on amongst our hands. Started friendly like, with small wagers and mostly bragging rights as to who had the best. Well her Governorship got involved and brought in this ringer - calls himself Black Bart. I know, original eh? Anyway, he's big and mean and we ranchers really want to put him and Patience down a peg. Fight's tomorrow - you interested? If Eagle says you can take Bart, I'll give you 25 win or lose and 200 if you win. Patience is offering 10 to 1 against her man and 20 if you can knock him out. What you say? Easy money?"
Ash's ears purked up when heard about fights, now that could fun, but it seemed Jeremiah was only interested in Wolf. Well maybe his chance would come. Ash hadn't a good brawl since he'd left the farm.
The kid looked elsewhere in the tavern there and are at least three games going on, mostly ranch hands and locals if you were to guess by their clothing. Over at the bar, he noticed there is a beautiful auburn haired girl, voluptuous being the best word to describe her, straining the fabric of a Blue Sun t-shirt to its limit. But beside her is a big man in a similar t-shirt and overalls, talking to her and she ain't having none of what he is saying. In fact, she is pouring shot after shot from a whiskey bottle and ignoring him completely. He is getting frustrated and puts his hand on hers, but she pulls back from him violently.
"Okay!" the Asian man behind the bar points his finger at the man, "You had your warning. Out!"
"But!" the man started to say.
"Out or I end you here! Go back to The Wreck, Hauler. You'll be welcome there."
"But she ,"
"She ain't bothering me. You are. Out! Now! Or be dragged out."
The man slapped the bar with his hands hard and stomped off out of the bar. The young lady smiles a thank you to Kim and continued to work her way through the bottle.
The kid was hoping that the men would let him sit and watch the game. He knew some folk don't like that, they figure you're signaling their hands. But the kid really liked to watch their faces. So much can be learned from the small things people do. His pa and had done their best to teach him how to read a man's eyes. Told him it could save life, so ever since he continued and poker games were great to guess a man's thought. But first he needed something to drink.
The kid excused himself and stepped to the bar. As he stepped up Kim came over. "I see you're with Mr.Sarafina, what can I get for you?" The kid gave Kim a simple smile,"Well if you have any, I sure would like a tall glass of cold milk?"
The young lady at the bar looked up from her shot glass with an odd smirk on her face.
