A Doll Of A Tuesday!

What would a Tuesday night in the Red Dragon Inn be without Amber??? Like a day without the sun! We hear that Adorable Amber was indeed behind the bar Tuesday night to serve patrons. She was evidently trying to give away the massive amount of chocolate bunnies that were left over from the weekend. We’re actually not sure what’s more dangerous to pump the patrons of the Inn full of — sugar or alcohol! Well, Amber was certainly doing both!

Aolani was there to spread her debauchery. That seems to be her favorite hobby… or maybe it’s a career. We don’t know a whole heck of a lot about the woman after all and, after hearing reports about how she spends her nights, not much would surprise us. She’s got a pretty little groupie named Jenillisa who’s often in tow and was with her playing some sort of drinking game last night. There was also a girl with her named Jessica who was odd as well. But not odd in Jenillisa’s overly sexual sort of way but in the “Mice are my friends!” sort of way. We hear that Harris was among them as well but didn’t get involved in their game, saying that he couldn’t afford having a hangover at his challenge the next day.

We’re not sure if the reason that Kazzy jumps from job to job is because she can’t keep one or because none of them can keep her attention for more than a month! Either way, she was overheard talking to Lil’ Bit Lirssa about her newest gig. It seems that Kazzy is working on the local ballet theater’s newest production. Thankfully, she’s not actually dancing because nobody wants to see that. She’s evidently doing some behind the scenes grunt work. We give it three weeks!

Speaking of Lil’ Bit Lirssa, it seems that The Many Faces of Fio has totally LIED to her about why her classes are suspended. Our sources overheard Lirssa tell Kazzy that Fio says she’s on “Spring Break”. We’re telling you right now that it is NOT going to go over well when Lirssa finds out that not only has Fio suspended her lessons with Prof. Jolyon but that she lied to her about it. Those are going to be some serious fireworks. Fio is about to get one heck of a crash course in parenting!

We hear that Wulfson was spotted on Twilight Island! He’s always good for a line or two in “Overheard Around Town”! He spent the first half of the evening catching up with old friends but we hear that Xanth did tempt him into the ring later in the evening. Some of our sources are suggesting that the MANY time Archmage might be thinking about another attempt at the title at the end of the cycle. Well, he’s got a couple months to brush up on his skills! We know we’d love to see him throw down with Archmage McPretty Sivanna!

Speaking of the Archmage, we hear that Sivanna didn’t know about the multiple Taneths until last night. Seriously??? What rock does this woman live under??? We’re thinking about having our flyers delivered directly to her home every day. That’s just unacceptable!

A small crowd gathered to duke it out in the Outback Tuesday night as well! We hear that Erin was there and seen catching up with Locke and Carley. Erin was evidently impressed by the strides that both of them have taken in the duels in her absence. We have to wonder if they’ve actually surpassed her skill! Erin is looking awfully rusty these days. We’ll have to wait and see if she’s going to make the commitment to a serious comeback.

Crazy Train Tara was seen pulling in a wagon with a toddler sized doll riding in it. Yep. You read that right. Of course, she was talking to the doll, mixing the doll drinks, and generally acting like herself. Well, evidently at some point, Aya got spooked by the doll. We hear that Aya evidently accused it of moving….. and so she took her sword to it. As you can imagine, Tara was pretty beside herself. Thankfully, though, she seemed more interested in whining to Tass than destroying the Outback. Evidently Tara sent Darcy over to talk to Aya and Aya made it pretty darn clear that she has a strong policy against inanimate objects moving, talking, or sipping on Badsiders at the bar. Take note, Barbie! Stay away from the Outback!

Rumor has it that Joey showed up in the Outback after being MIA for some time. She looked a bit tired but well enough. Her friends all seemed glad to see her but nobody was more thrilled than Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan for obvious reasons. We hear that the ladies decided that they had a lot of “catching up to do” and so they left pretty early into the night. We’re just surprised that Kalamere stayed back and didn’t join them on this “catching up”.

Knowing in the Biblical Sense Monday!

Is it just us or was that Kate being awfully vague about how she knows Ali??? Our sources say that The Many Faces of Fio was overheard questioning her (as casually as it is possible to ask “HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW MY HUSBAND, WENCH?!?!?!”) Monday night in the Red Dragon Inn and Kate wasn’t all that forthcoming. Reaaaaally? How much do you want to bet that Ali and this Kate had a thing??? We already know that Ali likes his women beautiful and just a little bit nuts!

Fio was later heard chatting with one of Our Darling Taneths and some disturbing news came up in their conversation. It seems that when Fio asked Taneth how many Taneths there are, Taneth replied that there isn’t as many as there used to be. That’s a little scary, isn’t it??? What do YOU think happened to the missing Taneths??? We had hope in the beginning that they would all be reunited as one but we’re quickly starting to lose that hope. The longer this goes on the more it seems like it will have a tragic ending. So, so sad!

Speaking of tragic, that’s just how the night turned out. In the middle of the crowded Inn, two (or three depending on the source) gunshots rang out. Everybody ducked for cover and when people started getting up, one person didn’t — Fury. Considering the fact that she had just entered the bar and our sources say that the only shots that were fire struck her dead center, it certainly seems that she was the object of some sort of hit. Poor child Taneth was in the room and quite shaken by the whole event. Ugh. How awful! We have a feeling that Panther is not going to be happy about this at all. We hear that the Divine Mrs. Storm kept Taneth occupied while her husband Ewan helped Fio get the body upstairs. Lucky Lawyer Lucien and Crazy Train Tara (who is still referring to Taneth as her and Lucky’s child much to Lucky’s chagrin) showed up shortly thereafter to help calm little Taneth down.

Oddly enough Fio stayed upstairs with the body for quite a while. We hear that Veighn showed up and tried to get Fio to let him in the room. Fio was very adamant that he should stay away. Their argument could actually be heard in the common room. Ewan actually had to go up and convince him to leave by promising to get him a drink.

This whole situation is very, very odd. We don’t really know what else can be said about it so we’re going to move right on to what happened in the Outback!

We hear that the ever cheerful Duci was spotted in the Outback Monday night for the first time in for-freaking-ever! We do love Duci because she can always be overheard spilling all sorts of great gossip. She’s broken some of our biggest stories for us! We do so love bubbly blondes with big mouths here at the Den of Gossip! Speaking of people who haven’t been seen in FOREVER, Dris was spotted on the couch! Yay! We are so glad he’s back! He always seems to put himself smack dab in the middle of interesting situations!

OMG! Will someone PLEASE tell us why FLAWLESS Koy is looking so darn miserable??? It’s driving us bonkers! We hear that she was again seen moping around the Outback but evidently after Cutie Carley offered to let FLAWLESS Koy dress her, she seemed to be in a bit better of a mood. Our sources tell us that Cutie Carley looked pretty smoking and not so much like a twelve year old when she came out of the locker room after Koy got done with her. If Cutie Carley let Koy dress her all the time she may have to become Hottie Carley!

Juliane was seen in the Outback strangely enough. Yep, Juliane of the Smith clan! She was evidently chatting about her art gallery with Cy… who is evidently something of an artist! Imagine that! After all the stories we’ve heard of him and his legendary mouth, we can’t help but admit we’re a little surprised at the news. The pair seemed to get along swimmingly and had quite the little discussion on art. Juliane seemed in a much better mood than she had several nights earlier and Cy really seemed to be on his best behavior!

Dris was overheard questioning Rekah about her relationship with Cassius! FINALLY! Somebody is finally showing some concern about whatever Cassius is doing to Rowdy Rekah! Rekah was overheard saying that Cassius has never asked to be her “boyfriend” and that he really is more of a “man-friend” anyway. Dris encouraged her to call him her “lover” instead. WHAT?!?! Dris, you’re supposed to be on our side here! Anyway, Rekah said she couldn’t because Tara hadn’t given her the birds and the bees talk yet… which finally gained some concern (or maybe more appropriately, humor) from Dris. Ugh. Seriously, Cassius??? You’re dating a woman who needs a birds and the bees talk…. and is going to get it from Crazy Train Tara!!!

MoonBeryl Sunday!

Fio and Ali were seen being all mushy in the Red Dragon Inn Sunday night! They went through their usual round of “What do you want to eat?” followed by “No, what do YOU want to eat?”. It’s really enough to make the sanest person want to strangle them both for just how sickeningly sweet the pair of them are. We get it! You two love each other! Now get into a huge fight so we can talk behind your backs and wonder if your relationship is on the rocks! Really, that’s much more fun for us here at the Den of Gossip. Anyway, our sources tell us that Fio’s DEFINITELY starting to look pregnant which erases any hope we had that this was all some elaborate prank. Ali is not going to be able to keep his responsibilities down to a minimum it seems. Doesn’t he have enough on his plate? Does he really need a child as well?

There was some sort of relationship drama on going in the Inn most of the night but we don’t know the players at all. Brian showed up and seemed mildly amused by the evening’s entertainment. A very subdued Brian caught up with some friends and had a couple drinks. He certainly doesn’t act like the carefree Brian of old…. but really who could blame him??? He’s had one heck of a year. We only hope that he can focus on his wife and children. They definitely need him to stay strong through this whole mess.

Speaking of somebody that hasn’t been seen around much lately, Maia was seen in the Inn and seemed to be trying to keep a low profile. When someone introduced themselves to her, she was polite but not the least bit friendly. In fact, we hear that she spent the whole night appearing very guarded. We wonder if that whole melee at the St Patrick’s Day Shindig really has shaken her. Rumor has it that she was definitely in the thick of things and there was a lot of carnage. We sure hope that she’s okay.

Collie was seen hanging out with an old friend (whose name our sources were unable to catch) and feeding the kid version of Taneth masses amounts of cookies. We hear that Taneth was pretty well behaved but we’d be well behaved too if somebody just kept putting down cookies in front of us! Anyway, we hear that Darien joined Collie and her friend. There definitely seemed to be some tension between the two men. Our sources got the feeling that this male family friend (who is evidently a friend of Collie’s son-in-law) did not think the whole Darien/Collie thing was a good idea. We agree! She’s a grandmother for crying out loud! She needs a nice stable guy whose been around the block a time or two.

Ballerina Katarina and her cousin Juliane were seen chatting in the Inn late into the night. Those girls stay awfully busy with their individual endeavors. They seemed thrilled to have the opportunity to talk about old times and catch up on each other’s lives. Things seem to be getting awfully serious between Katarina and Locke. We just hope that she doesn’t make the same mistake that Eva has! MAKE THE MAN MARRY YOU! Anyway, the girls were overheard trying to put a plan together to take care of the Smith twins so that Johnny and Sianna could get a little bit of alone time. How sweet are they???

The dueling venues were packed with the last of the first round of Madness duels going on in the Annex and a crowd gathered in the Outback for a Slugfest Tournament to try to win MoonBeryl.

Harris was in the Outback at the start of the tournament but didn’t participate. We have to wonder if he has other plans that involve another opal. Why else would he miss out on the opportunity to take MoonBeryl??? Considering most of the opal holders are friends of his, we’re at a loss at who he would choose to go after. Iiiiiinteresting! He did take the opportunity to try to convince Carley (who was there to participate in the tournament) to leave Cy YET AGAIN! It just doesn’t seem to be getting him anywhere. Carley’s pretty head over heels about this guy.

Jaycy was there calling duels but she also had a conversation with Maria about Kattria. It seems that Jaycy wanted to know why Maria would warn Kattria to stay away from Kalamere. We hear that Maria was pretty pissed and denied the accusation. Jaycy tried to get her to calm down but Maria didn’t seem to be having any of it. She was seen stalking out shortly after the conversation began and Jaycy was left looking none to pleased by how the confrontation went down. We’re still DYING to know what is going on here. Kalamere is just causing TONS of drama among these women and we totally HEART him for it!

The final match for the opal came down to Jake of Red Orc Brewery and Badsider fame against Cutie Carley. Yep, you read that right. CUTIE CARLEY made it through a sixteen person tournament to show up in the final round. The match was VERY quick but that doesn’t mean that Cutie Carley didn’t hold her own. It was over after six rounds with a final score of 5-3 with Jake as the winner. An amazing performance by the little spitfire, though. And a big old hearty CONGRATULATIONS must go out to Jake!

And it seems that he got more than one prize for the night! Not only did he take home the opal but rumor has it that he was seen carrying Lil’ Black Book Jaycy out of the Outback after she promised to help him “celebrate”. OMG! We’re not really sure which one of them to want to slap upside the head. Maybe Jake because he just took home the Arena slut??? Maybe Jaycy because she went home with a half-orc??? Or maybe they just deserve one another! This makes my head ache.

After participating in the tournament, Ms. Wyh Not was seen calling duels in the Annex. She and that Roran fellow seem to still be going strong. He was seen looming behind the couch as she called. We hear that he was, as usual, very attentive to her needs and at the end of the night carried her out. This Roran certainly seems to have swept Wyh right up off her feet! Good for him to notice a real catch when he sees one!

Wow, wow, wow! Kalamere was chatting with Teagan… which wouldn’t be all that unusual considering his love for baronesses… BUT we hear that he was asking to use the kitchen at her baronial manor for the week since he evidently had his removed to put in a pool table. We assume this has something to do with the bet that he lost to Maria in which he has to cook her dinner. Anyway, Teagan let him use the kitchen FOR A PRICE! Evidently Teagan is going to make him challenge. No idea who the challenge has to be issued to but it was about somebody specific. We hear that Teagan was seen jotting down the name for Kalamere. And Kalamere AGREED! OMG! We’re so excited to see if he’s still got it and to see who that challenge has to be issued to!

Somebody’s Granny Monday!

Evidently the child size Taneth is still making her way around RhyDin. She was seen in the Red Dragon Inn with Lil’ Bit Lirssa Monday night. L.B. Lirssa does seem to have a way of attracting every troubled child in a thirty mile radius. She’s like that kid you always hear about that’s constantly bringing home strays but instead of dogs or cats, they’re kids. They joined up with Rowdy Rekah at the bar and found themselves some cookies. See, this is why Rekah and Cas creeps us out! Rowdy Rekah seems more the type to be eating cookies in the Inn with Taneth and Lirssa rather than hanging out in the Arena serving as arm candy for a former Baron. It’s like a middle age man sleeping with his stepdaughter. Ugh. Why are you doooooing this to us, Cas???

The mood in the Inn was pretty upbeat even if the crowd was still small. The pretty young owner of Cameron Horse Farms, Aliss, was out and about. We hear that she was seen joking around with Ali, Fio, and Mac. Of course, as the much of the rest of the crowd was eating cookies and drinking milk, Mac was throwing back vodka. But that’s just Mac for you!

The playful atmosphere was ruined by some ice queen type who seemed to make Ali, Fio, and Lirssa awfully nervous. Our sources say that while she was quite beautiful she was a bit scary as well. We’re told that her presence left Ali looking for Darien. Chief Mischief Maker Eless who had just come from a visit with her friend, Rena, in the Outback was able to tell the tense group that Darien was in the Outback so Lirssa led the strange woman into the Outback. We’re wondering if this woman is some chick that Darien has wronged. We bet he’s got a past littered with scorned women.

Earlier in the evening in the Outback, Harris and Cy reeeeaaally got into it. Harris was overheard telling Cy that he failed as Carley’s boyfriend and telling him to hand over all of Carley’s possessions (including her underwear). Evidently, Harris felt that Cy had not done enough to protect Carley during the mayhem at the Shindig. Carley tried to break it up even as Cy destroyed a bar stool over Harris’ back and Harris had to even things up by breaking a stool across Cy’s knee! We bet Matt’s going to send him a bill for that! Even Koy was overheard mentioning that Matt was NOT going to be happy. You’d think with all the times people have destroyed or burned down the Outback, Matt would have gotten used to it by now! Anyway, Cy stormed out and Harris used this as further proof that Cy was not good enough for Carley and then he tried hooking Cutie Carley up with Kalamere!

But as we know Kalamere is only interested in baronesses! And he certainly had his hands full last night with them! We hear that Lil’ Black Book Jaycy had her hands ALL OVER HIM! We knew that this thing with Pslyder was only a brief visit in the land of monogamy. Lil’ Black Book Jaycy simply cannot help herself! Evidently Kalamere was certainly interested. The two were overheard planning a lunch date in order to talk in a more private location. Thanks for FINALLY remembering your roots, L.B.B. Jaycy! This is juuuuust the start. She’ll have bagged a half dozen guys before the next WLT and somewhere along the way broken Pslyder’s heart. What would we do without Jaycy in our lives???

Darien was seen chatting with Collie’s GRANDdaughter! That’s right! Not only is Collie a MILF but she’s a GILF as well! We have to wonder if it makes him feel a little sleazy to be reminded that he had his grabby hands all over somebody’s granny the other night??? We doubt it, though. We’re pretty sure that Darien embraces the sleaze. No idea, by the way, about what happened between him and that mystery woman that spooked Ali so much. They were seen leaving together once Darien mentioned wanting a private conversation with her. Iiiiinteresting!

Winter Cycle Warlord Tournament!

A talented pool of warlords that included several former barons and former overlords gathered to fight it out in the winter cycle Warlord Tournament for an intercession free shot at the Overlord, Ticallion Carter. There were twelve warlords including the Talon (due to a new perk that will now be associated with the Talon allowing its winner to enter into the storied event) and it seemed that all were well prepared to lay it all down for a chance to win the test of endurance, stamina, and heart!

The holder of the Talon, Imp, was in rare form. Our sources reported back to us that he was already calling himself “the Overlord”  and shouting at his opponents that they were not allowed to hit him. We have a feeling that G’nort was suddenly rethinking this whole Talon in the Warlord Tournament thing. Imp was certainly making a spectacle of himself because if there’s one thing Imp knows how to do well it’s get attention!

Big shock! Another night, another chance for Kalamere to get close with another baroness. The night before it was Teagan and Sunday night it was Lil’ Black Book Jaycy that was seen getting cozy with Kal. We hear that she was seen laying a kiss against his cheek while they watched the Arena’s warlords duke it out. We’re pretty surprised to see that Kalamere didn’t enter the tournament himself. Maybe he wasn’t fibbing when he said that he was no longer interested in titles. Kal didn’t stick around long but was sure to tell Jaycy that they would catch up later in the week. Oh, we bet that they will!

Soerl didn’t have an easy going in the tournament. Not only was he getting it from all angles in the ring but his wife, Lydia, wasn’t too thrilled with him either. Evidently she was overheard giving him quite the lecture for his recent behavior towards Cutie Carley and Harper. While Soerl apologized to Harper, he didn’t seem to keen on the idea of apologizing to Cutie Carley. In fact, he was overheard saying that she had been “mean” to him. Are you serious? She’s the most adorable thing on the planet! We don’t buy it all! We always knew there was a reason that we didn’t like Soerl! JERK! Harper stuck up for Carley and told him to take it easy on her. Yay, Harper!

OMG! John was in a pretty anxious sort of mood Sunday night. Has playing two girls got to be too much for him??? Our sources tell us that he was actually overheard saying to Harper that May’s going to kill him for leading her to believe that he and Harper are over! WHAT?!?! Dude, you don’t tell one girl how you’ve been playing the other. Confessions are only good for the heart, not for staying alive!

Oh, no! Who in their right mind said it was okay for Rowdy Rekah to be spending time with Cas??? We hear that they have often been seen together while we’ve been gone and that it has a creepy sort of romantic vibe to it. Ugh. Cas was overheard calling Rekah a distraction between matches due to her beauty (gross!) and the pair seemed actually smitten. There is something so very wrong about this. Where are all the protective forces in her life to stop this??? Our sources also say that Cas was overheard saying that he had only entered for the competition and wasn’t actually interested in the Overlord title. He is, however, interested in becoming a baron. There’s usually a round of baronial challenges right after the Warlord Tournament. We wouldn’t be shocked if Cas turned out to be one of them. Who do YOU think he will challenge?

Marcus was the MAN in the tournament! The kid’s been a real dueling whiz and he made sure to put his stamp on this tournament. We hear that one round he even SHUT OUT the very experienced Morgan in five rounds. Ouch! Morgan made up for it a bit by having her own shut out in five in the loser’s bracket over Red who is an old warlord who returned just in time for the WLT.

In the end, however, the crazy Talon holder, Imp, emerged from the Winner’s Bracket and Wrecking Crew member, Kheldar, emerged from the Loser’s Bracket. The Crew failed to secure their hold on the Overlord title through this Warlord Tournament as the Talon shut out Kheldar in six rounds! We hear that Imp was a little anxious when Dioxane  told him that his prize was a shot at Tical for the title. That is he was afraid until he remembered that Tical owes him a debt. Unfortunately, Imp didn’t explain further but we’re dyyyyying to know what Tical owes Imp and why!

I guess we’ll just have to wait for that challenge to be issued to know the details!
