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!

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…
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.

Bar Games!
Darts:
The player stands ten paces from the dart board.
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.
Beat the current house score, win yourself a prize!
Current House Score: 19 pts!
Hogwild! (coming soon™):
Hogwild is the Blind Boar's own fighting style. Up to a maximum of 3v3 can participate, though the truly daring can fight 1v3, 1v2, or any other combination they can think of. Weapons, fists, even magic, all are allowed; a warded arena helps keep even lethal attacks from leaving anything more than a bruise.
All players go into a party with the match observer. This is for OOC clarity and guidance.
On match start, all players /random for initiative. The highest rolling player goes first, then the next down the line, and so on.
When it's your turn to attack, you may attack anyone you wish. The attacker emotes their attack, then makes a /random roll. The defender then makes a /random roll, and responds in emote based on that roll. (Avoidance/blocking if higher, taking the hit if lower.) It's then the next-in-line person's turn.
After everyone has had their turn, initiative is then rolled again and it all starts over.
All players have 3 HP. The match observer will help you every step of the way if you get a little lost.
Gang up on one or keep another busy, help out your team and seize victory!
All matches will be made with IC and OOC consent from each participant. These matches are strictly non-lethal.
