Mercury (Bard)

Mercury (XIII)
The Drunken Bard
Created	September 25, 2016
Status	Active
Race	Half-Elf
Classes	Bard

Current Description:

Mercury is the standard over-drinking half-elf in recovery.
With what appears to be cardboard wings taped to his shoes
and Halloween fairy wings glitter-glued to a pair of earmuffs,
it appears that Mercury has taken the entire "messenger
of the gods" thing way to seriously.

When Mercury notices you looking at him, he tries to pull his
much-too-small shirt down over his giant beer belly. However,
with him refusing to put down his beer to do so, he spills
on himself, making you realize that it isn't a brown tie-die
shirt at all. It may have actually been white at some point.

Mercury is in a perpetually semi-drunken state.

Restrings

Mercury has several restrings:

(Artifact magic) a broken pair of beer goggles [m|AC 0 ts:32 0#|neck]

look goggles:

The broken bottoms of two beer mugs have been formed into a pair of goggles.

(Weak magic) (Glowing) a real doozy of a hangover [gm|svs:-2 1#|decoration]

look hangover:

THIS... this is not your garden-variety hangover. This is far
beyond the amateur efforts of teenage boys feeling their oats.
It exceeds the practiced oblivion of old men who have nothing
to live for. This is a gleeful, deliberate, worshipful affair
with the demon alcohol. A passionate debacle.  A choreography
of inebriation. A love-poem to Bacchanalian excess. A howling
Katzenjammer of EPIC proportion.

(Potent magic) a bedraggled, beer-stained, and road-worn robe [m|AC 3 svs:-3 da:3 mr:2 1#|about-body]

look robe:

Road dust and beer stains co-mingle on the soiled surfaces of this robe.
