Quite the tense stand-off occurred early Thursday night between SMASHIN’ Issy and Renna in the Red Dragon Inn! The women exchanged nasty insults and bone-chilling threats but at the end of the day the neutrality of the Inn kept them from coming to blows. We have a feeling things wouldn’t have ended so blood-free if they’d met up outside the Inn!!! Renna’s sure scary but our money’s on SMASHIN’ Issy!!! What about yours???

Evidently the news about Tara is true! She was seen for the second night in a row in the Inn and this time was in the company of Therapist Chryrie! It seems that Therapist Chryrie is a good companion for the woman because Tara certainly seems…. well, out of it. She still doesn’t seem to know much about herself nor any of her old friends besides what her notes have told her. She was seen re-meeting two of the Ravenlocks — Brian and Alex — along with Other Woman Lain! Both Ravenlocks (who while adorable, let’s be honest, aren’t the sharpest knives in the drawer) seemed quite confused by the whole thing!

It seems that Lana is still unsure if she wishes to go through with marrying Barus! She’s flipped flopped back and forth on the issue several times over the past couple months. When the couple was seen discussing it in the Inn Thursday night, she was overheard telling him that she just didn’t feel safe around him. He continued to declare his love but it seems that nothing is going to change Lana’s mind! She was dead set on waiting.

Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! Oh my GOODNESS! Our sources spotted Eless in the company of several of her friends in the Inn!!! It is so good to see her back. She looked a bit pale and unsettled but otherwise unhurt. S’jira and DoD-er Rena tended to her and questioned her at length about her disappearance! Peredhil was seen as well looking downright cheery at his friend’s return! Maybe with Eless’s help, Perry and Pipes can be together again. We can only hope!

Wowza! Is it just us or is Smooooth Cowboy Jake and Molly just plain edible in that deliciously country sort of way??? The pair was seen having a drink together at the bar and Jake even suggestively touched her hip!!! The pair headed out of the Inn together for a “play in the hay” according to Smoooooth Cowboy Jake! Oh my my, Jake! What a playboy you’ve become??? We’re in such a tizzy over here!

Ethan just can’t seem to keep out of trouble! Just when we were starting to like him, he jumps off the deep end ONCE AGAIN!!! He got into some sort of verbal altercation with Boy Toy Aaron that led to the pair throwing punches. Ethan drew the short straw in that fight yet again. You’d think for all the fights he seems to get into, he’d learn to throw a punch…. or at least learn how to avoid one! DoD-er Rena reigned in Boy Toy Aaron but the damage to Ethan’s jaw was done. Evidently to soothe his wounded ego, Ethan decided to take off with PAARTY Girl Chase AGAIN! What is wrong with him??? Somebody should just keep him away from her. She’s always the start of his problems. Le sigh!

Madness dueling kicked off in the Inn’s basement Arena Thursday night with the PIMP Imp calling! MILF Caedia made one of her too rare public appearances and was supported on by hottie hubby Kheldar. Unfortunately, his cheering wasn’t enough to push her through to the second round. She put up a closely fought match and looked quite HAWT while suffering defeat. After her match, she was seen chatting with DoD-er FLAWLESS Koy who while dressed to the nines was looking a little less than flawless. The pair seemed to have quite the frank discussion before Caedia left with her husband. We wonder what THAT was all about!!!

Luscious Lydia let her preference be known by wearing a sparkly “Bane for Overlord” tee. The pair remains TOO FRIGGIN’ CUTE!!! By the look of the way the pair was acting together Thursday night, things are definitely on a fast track. Lydibane keeps on chugging along!
