Ok little lead in. we are killing shoppies in arial city and the shop before this Slithroat assisted and the elmental was lost, 25 hours for another but we have a blazing archon so we say hey we can risk it for a while. LIttle did we know that our worst horrors were about to come true. There is a signpost up ahead next stop, the Twilight Zone.

<459hp 479m 359mv> Blue Sky Tavern.
The Blue Sky Tavern is the best, (albeit the only) tavern in Arial City.
Nick, the proprietor/bartender, helps the place maintain a friendly
atmosphere by providing all types of beer, spirits and cocktails, some of
which were invented by Nick himself. There is a keeper at the north of the
room, guarding what appears to be an illegal gambling room. To the east is
Carnation Drive. To the south lies the Bard's guild.
