Thread: Bouncing at the Cantina True Story
Funny thing about being an entertainer is some adventurers coming into the cantina think they can treat you like garbage because they're tougher than you. The funny thing about being a Teras Kasi Artist/Entertainer is that I don't loose duels and people seem to pick them a lot.
Last night after a long hunting expedition where I finally got my first box finished in the TKA I went into the Tyrenna Cantina for some dancing to get rid of my fatigue. I was in there dancing away talking with my fellow entertainers when these three wookies walk into the place. They immediately start acting like they own the place. They started to harass the female dancers and were busy calling me fag, they made fun of the other customers of the cantina and were just juvinile jerks to everyone. I danced a little longer hoping that they would just move on but they didn't. This entire time my title read novice entertainer.
After a couple minutesI said "Please move on or show somerespect to others." Wookie1said something to the effectof "oh yeah, who's gonna make me? You?" I stopped dancing at that moment, equiped my vibroknuckler and said, "sure."
The three wookies all at the same time challenged me to a duel. Boy they didn't know what was about to hit them. I went bezerk and accepted the first wookie's duel, he was a rifleman and had time to get off one shot.
Me: 600 Damage
Wookie1: Miss
Me: 600 Damage
Wookie1 dies. I quickly turned and accepted the second wookie's duel, he was an unarmed melee like I am but wasn't nearly as powerful, he fell in about5 rounds of combat. The last wookie said "No ****ing way!" and started to run out of the cantina, I accepted his duel then lunged attacked him, dropping him to his knees so I could catch up, he was another weak gunman and fell with a few blows. I stood over each of their unconcious bodies and gave them a lecture on manners and picking battles better before I delivered death blows to them all. Then went back to dancing...
It was a fun scene at the cantina that night.

If I were on Sunrunner, I would tip you 5k just to SEE that! LOL
Huge cheers for you Owono! ![]()
Very well done!
Those walking into a place of entertainment should be well aware that most on stage ARE their own bouncers.
Not me! I'm so focused on music that I haven't harmed a fly, and wouldn't even know how to initiate combat. It kinda keeps me in role, since most musicians are pacifists anyway.
The other day I followed some people out of Bestine to a player's house for a party, and along the way they got into combat with some creature of some sort. I just kind of stayed out of the way and hoped it would all work out (mostly just because I don't know anything about combat rather than sticking to a role). I've thought about taking time to learn how to kill stuff, but not until I get my music skills up to where I want them. But I might just stay playing the role of a wimpy musician...
This was the best series of posting I have read in weeks. Thanks for the laugh and the enlightenment. I am sure to think of this when I enter the next Cantina.

Ok, I've done very little combat, and no PvP, so this may come off as a "noob" question:
Are duels strictly 1-on-1? Or is it group to group? Since the entertainers are always grouped, I can just see some abusive customer accepting a duel and suddenly having 10-15 blasters pointed at his head.
Still, after Owono's lovely story, I may have to head over to the brawler trainer and start leveling up...
