Might be good for improving human-elemental relations, too, letting it get out that they don't just randomly wreak havoc.

...so what all is giant bartender lady wearing? :3c

René continues to question the giantess, "How did they carry two giant barrels of beer?"

"No, it was just two normal ones. Only 72 gallons"

"Which way'd they go? I was headed to the desert and hoped I could get their help."

"I'm not really su-"

"You talking about that satyr mage?", a giant who was drinking with a naga interrupts.

"Yeah"

"Head down to Slim's. They've been going on abut her there."

"I'm not from around here, where is that?"

The naga chimes in, "Just go three blocks west of here and turn left. You can't miss it."

Aha. Thank him for the help, tip the giant bartender and get going.

"thank ya kindly" if you had a hat you would tip it now. but just leave.

Hmm. That was too easy.

Thank those two, but ask the bartender what she was going to say.

>>482525
Thank them and head out, after finishing your beer.

Thank them and go seeking ye satyr mage

Thank them and finish your drink, then head over there.

chug that beer like a giant doing shots and let's go.

René thanks them for their help, finishes off his beer, and leaves $10 for the beer and tip before heading out.

He follows the naga's directions, and just as he wonders how long the walk will be, he comes across a building that's missing a chunk out of the front. The sign says he's found Slim's.

Knock on the door.

>>482876
Try knocking.

Burn that door down. Make an entrance.

Knock on that door. with fire

regular knock.

René goes to knock at the door. Inside he can hear the muffled bustling of a full bar through the heavy door.

There isn't any reaction to his knocking though.

Enter the bar.

>>482925

Open the door and greet everyone inside in a hearty and jovial manner.

René enters and greets everyone.

"HELLO!"

And the entire bar goes dead quiet.

"NICE WEATHER WE'RE HAVING ISN'- wait no it's super crummy outside."

...

*cough*

"fine, i'll cut to the chase, i'm looking for a water mage"

>>483000

Silently walk over to the bar and ask the bartender for leads on the water mage.

René walks up to the bar as the room just watches him.

"I'm just looking for the water mage"

"Why, she a friend of yours? How 'bout you pay for my wall and I'll tell you?"

wave your hand and make better match go over the damaged area.

>>483035
It might not last.

>>483034
Okay, looks like the water mage damaged the building, and everyone is glaring at you because you resentfully are also a mage. If you tell them you're her enemy (say, a bounty hunter) they might give you the info for free.

>>483037
it will last as long as the real thing against anything other then metal.

>>483034
We can gossamer it for the time being. Not really a friend, just trying to prevent less damage from being done from a fire elemental freaking out about a possible elemental being trapped in a city again.

Maybe just to meet a nice new lady friend too.

>>483037
How 'bout not directly saying you're a bounty hunter, but say something that'd slightly insinuate you might be one or something similar.

Say she's not your friend; You're just here to find and deliver her to somebody out of town, that's all (and technically the truth.) Don't even know her name, though perhaps the barkeep would be willin' to share that without payment.

Ask the bartender what the water mage did to his wall, since you assume it was her handiwork, and if he'd accept a fix by magical means if it was permanent. If not, ask how much he'd need to get it fixed in a mundane way.

I agree with patching the wall ourselves. It'll work, just gotta warn them about the issue with metal.

>>483034
"HA! No. I only know she exists because there's a fire elemental outside the city chomping at the bit to get to her, and I'm hoping to get her out of the city before fire loses its patience.
The best I can do is give you a patch job that'll hold as long as you keep metal away from it."

I'd like to remind everyone that most people think elementals are demons.

we don't even need to warn them about the metal. by the time that is an issue we will be long gone.

no mention the living fire outside town. don't want them thinking we are threatening them with a demon attack if they don't cooperate.

Dreamcraft some wall repairs.

"Look, she's not my friend; I don't even know her name, but if you want I can fix your wall anyway."

"As long as someone does, great"

>>483165
BAM. Magic brick wall.

René starts with the brick outside, creating a patch out of gossamer that matches the rest of the wall. (-9 Gossamer)

The barkeep insists on checking the wall, to make sure it's not an illusion or something.

"So how did the water mage break the wall? Also, do you know her name?"

"She started a bar fight, and threw a guy, and some other things, through the wall. I think she's that wanted woman, Ellen, but she never outright gave her name."

Okay, so ask if he's got any particular idea where she went off to.

After that, René patches the inside wall, and that gets checked too.

"So where is she?"

Wanted woman, eh? We're a bounty hunter too, let's not forget. Maybe we can make some quick cash?

"Oh, she got arrested. You should be able to find her in jail."

>>483204
Okay, we got to be honest with the police at least.
They'll take the threat seriously, hopefully. And that it's not really a real threat, just nature. Well, okay, we need to find an understanding police individual. So ask where the generally most understanding police officer is. They'd have to take her out with a convoy.

Gods be willing your picture isn't on the bounty board, we should check for that first before trying anything serious now.

GREAT. well, we don't need to jailbreak, maybe we can convince the cops to let us borrow her.

>>483204
WELP. That poses a problem. We were supposed to get her out of town... maybe we can convince the police here to do so for long enough to convince Chrys? Or we could just go tell Chrys the situation and ask if she wants the situation to change badly enough to help us break her out of jail.

Also, uh, you should tell the barkeep that he's gonna have to at least put some mortar or something on the crack surrounding the patch.

Crack: Be from Ellen BUSTIN' OUT of jail

>>483219

D:

and THAT is why we don't have time to flirt with giant ladies. she can sense our fire magic still and trusts us. which is why she is sitting there instead of burning the town down.

Poor elementals. They suffer from too much empathy for their own sanity.

that shit looks painful.
