Bar Brawl (OTA)

[quenched]

The Blushing Mermaid, down by the strand, is well known to be a little bit rougher than the Elfsong. One could say, bluntly, that it's a dive, except the proprietor, Captain Grisly, would then throw empty bottles at you until you run for cover because NO PUNS, get the fuck out of here!

Anyway, the liquor is good, never watered down, and the wine is usually too sweet and too strong, and if you thought you were going to eat with your intoxicants, you're out of luck. In short, it's a perfect place for after-work drinks for the middle and lower classes of the Gate, and adventurers looking for luck and/or trouble.

Tonight, there is trouble. Whether you started the fight or just walked in on it at the wrong moment, there are bottles and punches flying, and if you're not a brawler type, you might need to hide under a table. So. Duck and cover. Try conflict resolution. Sneak for the door. Or punch the crap out of someone. The world is thine oyster.

He'd rather not have to fight any of them, is the thing, but he has a feeling he doesn't have much of a choice as the half-orc gets up and is charging towards him.

"I got it," he says, dodging the half-orc's punch before punching them back. He didn't have as much training with hand-to-hand fighting as he did with sword fighting, but he had some.

"Just holler if you need help, Princess." There's teasing tone to his voice as Ashton manages a hand on the front of the dwarf's leathers to lift him and toss him back into a seat at a table.

"Fucking hell, just sit down and shut up." He'd rather make quick work of them if he could. Hands on his hips he waited for the dwarf to decide what he wanted to do. Catching a glace at the half-orc he keeps half an eye on the dwarf while making sure he could step in if Dorian needed him. He knows the bard can handle himself but that doesn't stop him from being protective.

Dorian can't help rolling his eyes at the nickname, even as he smiles a little while ducking another punch from the half-orc. As he steps back to put some space between them, he glances over towards Ashton and sees the dwarf get up to rush at the barbarian.

And, noticing that the dwarf and the half-orc are now between him and Ash, he gets an idea.

"Hey, Ashton!" he calls as the half-orc charges at him again. "Maybe we should trade!" Once more dodging the half-orc, he then grabs the back of their shirt and uses their momentum to swing them around before shoving them in the Earth Genasi's direction, hoping Ash will see what he was doing.

Looking at Dorian the green skinned genasi grins as he side steps the now charging dwarf and kicking him in the ass before lifting a boot to kick the half-orc in the stomach with one large boot.

"Got it, have fun with that one babe! He's sturdier than Orym so don't hold back."

"Thank you!" Once free of the half-orc, Dorian intercepts the dwarf as he stumbles, before shoving him up against the nearest wall and punching him.

Though while the strike does stun the dwarf for a moment, he manages to wiggle out of Dorian's grasp, and Dorian has to step back as the dwarf tries to get a hit on him.
