Beaten Path -Adventuring Company-

An FFXIV Roleplaying Venue
Tucked away to the side of the well-traveled paths of the Twelveswood is a trail less worn, dappled with scattered leaves, twigs, and whatever else the sparse passing traveler might have left behind from the heels of their boots. Following this road, traveling through what the thicket hides, eventually leads to a tavern built right into the side of an old, sturdy tree, dressed and decorated with years of well-loved care.This is The Blind Boar. A passion project of it's owners and a place created by adventurers and for adventurers, with hospitality peppered in for anyone else who wants a drink, company, and maybe a little entertainment!The tavern is located in the basement, so don't be shy and come on down!

Hung up just at the top of the stairs leading down to the tavern is a rough wooden plaque, inscribed with rough text...
Tavern Rules:
People are people, no matter who or what they are.
You killed it, you prove it.
You want it, you ask for it.
If we don’t want it, bugger off.
☆ | Out of Character Rules... |
Please note: management reserves the right to ask people to leave should they feel someone is not following these rules or is otherwise being a nuisance.
We are an 18+ venue but we are not an adult venue.
We reserve the right to tell folks to cool down talk management feels is inappropriate, IC and OOC, for the establishment.No discrimination!
We do not tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia, or other forms of discrimination at this establishment. If said IC, we will handle it IC. If said OOC, we will handle it OOC.If you’re uncomfortable, reach out!
Though IC does not equal OOC, we are still people roleplaying our characters and our OOC experiences may clash with an IC scene. If you are feeling uncomfortable with a scene being played out, please reach out to any member of management and we can assist, no questions asked.Impersonation.
We're always welcoming of folks to ask about joining us as staff (and if you'd like to, please reach out to either C'rik or Ahdeh'to either in game or via Discord DM!), but anyone who is impersonating staff or representing the Blind Boar without the permission of management will be removed from the premises and, if persistent, reported to GMs and Square-Enix.Shout/Yell Chat is to be used by Blind Boar staff!
Boar staff will be designated by the Looking for Meld icon! During standard tavern nights, only Blind Boar staff is allowed to be using Shout or Yell chat. This is to allow us to easily and effectively communicate information such as closing time or contests. During special events, such as those held by affiliates, others may be authorized to use Shout/Yell, however that permission is exclusively granted by Boar management (C'rik and Ahdeh'to).Put your Minions away.
Unless your Minion is an active and established part of the character you're playing please do not have them out.Really, just don’t be a dick and we’ll be fine!

★ 0~100- A warm and bitter taste, akin to gysahl greens. Yuck!★ 101~200- A sour taste, like lemonade with no sugar.★ 201~300- A warm tart taste, it's almost like a delicious rolanberry!★ 301~400- Cold and sweet. One might call it too sweet.★ 401~500- A lovely profile that tastes what cut grass smells like.★ 501~600- A bitter start, but this flavour comes with a sweet apple aftertaste!★ 601~700- Dirt.★ 701~800- Hot and savoury - like liquid steak. Seems odd for a drink...★ 801~900- A cold, salty drink that reminds one of the open ocean. Especially the salt.★ 901~1000- A drink that's warmly nostalgic. Evokes good memories.

A refuge for the weary. A redoubt against woodsin. A roost for those who seek quarry. The Blind Boar Tavern is many things to many people. Those who were there from the beginning, though, know how it came to be.New art WiP, yell at me about this.

Ahdeh'to Jhukyu
Co-owner
An oath sworn to Oschon, the god of travelers. To safeguard the Road and those who travel it. Though Ahdeh’to, the owner, does not know what the Road has for him, he felt as though having a place for those who could seek shelter from an uncaring and destructive world would be a good start. Faced many of those same tendencies himself on his path. One last job, always one last job, until he finally had his quarry. The gil necessary to retire once and for all from the hunting boards and create his own establishment. From a hollowed-out tree deep in the Twelveswood to a log cabin along a trade road, he came far, but not alone on this journey.

C'rik Juna
Co-owner
Social, mischievous, and the bard for the Blind Boar. C'rik tends to take most things in stride and jabs back with his own playful hooks. He's a mage of Red and Blue, a natural mimic, and a showman at heart. Though dangerously trusting to those he meets, extending a hand to offer adventure (and adventure in itself!) is what drives this miqo'te forward.

Darts:

One at a time, they'll throw their darts and emote the results.
The player rolls a /random and takes the first number of each throw. (i.e. A roll of 4xx is 4 points.) A two-digit roll (i.e. 38) counts as a miss.
After three throws, those numbers are totaled for a final score.

The Challenge:
Our chef spent his time carefully curating a special breed of Dragon Hellfire Peppers. They ended up too hot for any sane person to use in any dish. Rather than let them go to waste, we've turned them into the centerpiece for our Dragon Hellfire Challenge!You've given one - just one! - of these specially-curated peppers, and a glass of lassi kept just for this occasion. To win this challenge, you need to survive the heat of the pepper for as long as possible!-The player will /random three times, emoting their reaction between each roll.
-The first roll needs to beat a cool 250.
-The second roll needs to beat a spicy 500.
-The third roll needs to beat a blistering 750!Winners of this challenge will have their image engraved on our Wall of Fame!

To those that have bested our house score,s on any of our games, or walked (chewed?) through the inferno of our Pepper Challenge... this page is for you! Those who manage to best one of these scores will have their visage immortalized in art here on our Wall of Fame!
