Re: The Taproom

Huoommmmm .... no, Master Barliman. I think Master Caster just tried to remember well .... but huoommm ... you see what some of the liquids you sell cause with some of your customers ... huomm.... they still remember the letters but are confused about the correct order ... rhuoommm .... out comes an anagram, methinks ... hom

Re: The Taproom

HaHaHA! We are all wrong! None of the names is correct! Wendy are you sure you know the right name?
I can see clearly now the scrumpy is gone!

Re: The Taproom

What's in a name? I'm more interested in what the figure is to be. Seems like I'm about the only person who doesn't know.

Re: The Taproom

Huooommmm .... I have just learned that he mounted this morning and is awaiting further accessoires tonight (hopefully) ... hom ... so the shape's shaping, so to say .... huoommm.
But Master Caster was right indeed with his first anagram .... huoommmm
What about this allusion to Master O. Wilde, Master Barliman? .... hom ... I don't understand that.

Re: The Taproom

Well, the anagram confirms what I'd guessed and assumed, but I was too dull-witted to see it immediately. And I don't know what the Oscar allusion was about either. Or even where it was. Obviously I'm not paying sufficient attention at the moment. Clearly I need to drink more ale and less scrumpy.

Re: The Taproom

Huuooommmm .... so you don't know the verses about Oskar Wilde? .... rhuoommm ... so I might quote:

"Aesthete of aesthetes
What's in a name?          <---------- see this line?
Your name it is Wilde,
But your poetry's lame."

rhuoommmm ... I thought of your question being an allusion that I did not understand ... hom
never mind ...

Re: The Taproom

Ah, Oscar's line has become an everyday adage here in the Breeland, so I didn't realise that he had originated it.

Re: The Taproom

Hello everyone!  Nice place!  Which way to the 'gents'?  The room marked 'WC' actually contained Warg Coats I assume are the extra door mats.  I've been out wandering for some time now and have no tidings of Mithrandir.  A shame...anyway, it's good to be back among friends and smell the unique aroma of the Pony and taste the liquid fire of scrumpy again...

Hey, Master Barliman, please a bowl of that whatever Master Kennako likes .... rhuoommm ... you might mark that on my tab ... alas ... huoomm.
As for you, Master Kennako, there's no WC Warg Coats in here ... huoommm .. but on what you're standing are called Warg skins ... kind of rug the barkeep likes but let others care about them ... huooommmm ... anyway ... I'm glad to meet you here, Master Kenakko .... hom

Re: The Taproom

I'd recommend people keep out of that wardrobe full of wargskin coats, or they might end up in an alternate Narnia of some sort, with a Witchking instead of a Witch queen...

Re: The Taproom

Good to see you Master tree and Master Barkeep.  I'll take the generous round offered by the Ent chap.  I'd like to say I've been battling orcs but battling diapers and sleep deprivation would be more accurate...but what news?!  We must spread the word so the rest of our lost travellers can find their ways.  Hey did you check out the website of ESTEL?  That, with the beer, makes me think of relocating to Germany!

(just a hint master ent : open new threads for each unique you find... the first post should be the picture and some explanation from you if you want... the following posts would be discussions on THIS unique especially.. so One Unique/special item = One thread smile  )

Re: The Taproom

Yes, I'm here. I asume you need some clear amber liquid? And I look forward to that 'fact' you promised either tomorrow or the day after, if you still haven't got any coiny things. But it has to be aa NEW fact that I haven't heard before.

Re: The Taproom

Be honest, you're just making sure that no one with a naked flame gets too near your woody hide!

By the way, I've only just discovered that The Man has produced a figure for the Salute show again, as he did last year. Was anyone aware of this? I'hd heard a very vague hint somewhere (no, not from our resident brushwood), but now I see it has actually come to pass. It's a very nice (if you can call the subject matter 'nice') orc chieftain on a wolf with an armoured headpiece. There are some pictures of it on the Salute website at:

http://www.salute.co.uk/saluteframe.htm

Super figure, in fact. I shall be after getting hold of more than one of these, on eBay or otherwise...

Re: The Taproom

Yes, Barliman, that is an ultra-cool figure.  I like the anti-snout bite gear (what are those things called anyway?).  I doubt they will go for cheap on eBay like the first Salute figures are now.

Horse head-armour is called a 'chanfron'.

A chanfron, yes, I knew that!  This was, er, just a quiz!  You passed!  Thanks!  But when it's on a wulf I propose calling it a 'chanfree'!smile
