"That is..." SHe pauses then looks to the two men

Jaymes admires a wall.

Vali looks at the door way

Siv huffs, then frowns "Okay, so I'm... I either have or attract a type. But it's all one way this time and..."

the door opens... and the Thalian come in...two ogres, a goblin, a Bogie and a Bogart.

Vali says "Here we go." A grin

The Bartender sighs "It was a nice place while it lasted."

"Hee-yup."

The goblin says "Okay... you others... give us the Beaumayn, and you can walk" True. Fair offer. Surrender Vali and they won't attack the others

"I appreciate you being square, but I'm afraid we can't do that."

"If you surrender, we will spare you."

"We will?" Vali says "But..Thallian"

"Dagda. If they surrender, we honor it."

"Eschat doesn't apply .."Vali's eyes darken

Jaymes grunts "Vali. What she said"

"Dagda applies to all."

Siv nods "Sorry, Uncle Vali. "

"If they do a false surrender, if they deceive.. well, then they have no protections."

Vali sighs "Fine. If the scum sucking fomoroian ass kissing abominations want to surrender, I'll let the motherless Elder dark pet poodles surrender..."

"KILL EM!" An ogre snarls at these insults.

And the others charge forward

"Can't say I didn't offer..." And Dag runs to meet the biggest one!

At a table, two Chimerical women talk... as Dagmar takes on the biggest Ogre.

"Xena? Xena... do see this?" Gaberiel asks

"The immense ogre getting it's gut hacked in by the superstrong blue giant wielding the polearm?" Xena , who was just enjoying her drink, sighs "Hard not to notice."

"AAAAAHHHHYYEEEE-AAAHHHHH-AH!" Battle cry!

"We should help her, I think she's a fan!" Gabby says, as a Goblin tries to fire rapid self sealing stembolts into the side of Jaymes only to find them shot out of the air by electricity before they hit.

"Excuse me." In the chaos, she grabs a pewter platter from the bar and hurls it like a chakram - it ricochets off a post to bean a goon in the head.

"She's got this," Xena says "Good arm" She toasts, then returns to Gabererial as Vali turns one into ice and shatters him, "We're not needed."

"Well... still," Gaby protests, "Feels wrong to be indifferent to someone whose dreams provide glamour to our existence?"

"I'm not indifferent..." As the ogre , now missing an arm, tries to club Dagmar about her helmed skull, "I'm respecting her skills as a warrior"

"Warrioress, you mean" Gabby says, "We're proud of our woman hood, right?"

"Whatever," Xena says "Can I have my drink now?"

"Hey, will you autograph my vambraces later? Gerd is gonna freak!"

"Sure" Xena shrugs

SWING! CLANG! SMASH!

"Ah, Xena?" Gabby points "YOu know how those bogart boggan thallian like to move in groups? there's like five more coming up behind them... with crossbows and such."

"oh." Xena says "See, now we can join in." Grabbing her own chakram, she flings it, knocking two crossbows from two hands "It's all about respect, Gabriel, and timing"

Gabriel says "And how cool a story this is going to make!" Takeing her staff she leaps into the fray

Despite the attempted dark forces reinforcement from behind trick... the battle is soon over, dead thallian, sometimes missing limbs or heads, on the floor. Xena and Gabe got their licks in, but mostly they just made a victory that was happening anyway easier.

Vali grins like an idiot, wiping goblin off his boot

"Well, they didn't choose wisely."

"mmm" ("They might have been egged on") Jaymes grunts

"I'm only willing to cut them so much slack," Vali says then blinks, "is that Xena?"

"Yes!" Squeaky. Dagmar. Squeaky.

"That was fun," The Warrior princess says then she looks over, "So.. you want me to sign something?"

She nods. "You're awesome! You and Gabrielle both!"

Xena shrugs "We get by."

Gabe however beams, "Recognition at last."

"just my name, or something on top of that?" Xena inquires
