~ The bartender seemed to beam a bit, at how much the dragon seemed to enjoy the beer. "You really seem to've enjoy that, Hon.", she observed to Jake.

~ The dragon nodded, "It's been a while since I've had one that was properly fresh, thanks."

~ "Gratitude that fine calls for a story. How `bout you tell me how you met that kobold of yours, over there?", the badger motioning over to Randy. Randy kept his own focus on the karaoke he was singing.

~ After another long sip from his mug, Randy leaned into the bar to explain, "Well, some groomsmen for a bachelor party were so proud of finding their way to bribe into a pit fight, that they bragged. At some point within earshot of Randy over there. The groom, of course, was well more than enough of a fool to go for it and Randy of strong enough convictions to follow them."

~ The badger nodded a bit to this, pulling the empty mug over to refill it from the tap, "How'd you know him a fool?"

~ "Well, up and front, he was stepping into a pit fight of his own notions. Second, he was wearing armor practically dripping in fire protection glyphs.", leaning to the side to stretch out his neck and point at the soft silvery shimmer along the edges of some of his scales, "Frost.", before leaning back into the bar to take another long sip. "And I could tell he wasn't much for a fighter, to boot."

~ The bartender kept her ears perked to listen along she poured a tray of whiskey shots for a table, before glancing over, "What told you he wern't a fighter?"

~ The dragon let out a low chuckle, "Two things, really. The first hint was that it was when they were putting me back into the pit for a third time in a night. Meant they didn't want me fresh and vibrant-like. The second hint, that really made me sure, was when I'd frozen one half of him and removed the other.", giving a bit of a shrug as he offered the emptied mug over.

~ The badger winced a bit, nodding slowly, "And at some point in this murdering, you met Randy?", sliding back the refilled mug.

~ Nodding as he the mug was emptied, Jake followed with an explanation, "Yeah. The groomsmen were rather peeved with how matters had progressed, and split their efforts between breaking into the cage to get to their friend and violence at the guards running the show. Randy took the opportunity to slip in and help me get out."

~ Tending to the idle hands of wiping down glasses with a cloth, the badger inquired, "If you needed help getting out, what managed to get you into that place?"

~ "Beer's not cold enough for that story.", the dragon leaning back from the bar to watch up to stage. Randy had gotten into the chorus, and was gesturing an air guitar with vigor.
