Tall Tales at Ahab's Bane Tavern

This is an excerpt from the first Tall Tale night:

[22:14] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein): Dr.
Kristos Sonnerstein, at your service should you ever require it.

[22:15] Old Hob (gilgamesh.ishmene): Surgeon, barber or a
real medical man?

[22:15] Cadmus Lupindo: Manners Hob.

[22:15] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein)
chuckles. "Quite alright"

[22:15] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein): I am
both a surgeon and general practitioner.

[22:16] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein): I'm
employed under the Wilde Hospital.

[22:16] Old Hob (gilgamesh.ishmene): Moe en a saw bones. Tis
good.

[22:17] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein): As
many amputations as I've had to do since coming to this town, I've nearly
garnered a reputation as a saw bones instead of a sew bones, honestly.

 [22:21] Cadmus
Lupindo: You must understand Hobs question. A "ships Surgeon" is someone
who can saw off a leg and maybe remove a bullet. He holds Doctors higher than
Surgeon.

 [22:22] Dr. Kristos
Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein): Aha

 [22:22] Dr. Kristos
Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein) smiles to Hob. "Well, no worries there.
I can certainly do more than amputations as each situation calls for."

 [22:25] Old Hob
(gilgamesh.ishmene): Like ah was say'n when da Capt'n was shot ...

[22:25] Cadmus Lupindo: That is enough Hob.

[22:26] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein): Messy
business, extracting bullets..

[22:27] Pilipo Underwood: I watched one extracted in Texas.
Indian wars, neh?

[22:27] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein): Had a
few of those last summer with a madman running about with a blood feud in mind.

[22:27] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein):
Mostly our own staff.

[22:27] Pilipo Underwood: Heard tell about that

[22:28] Old Hob (gilgamesh.ishmene) smile. Nuff'n like a
good blood fued.

[22:28] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein): Well,
it's been put to rest for good, thankfully.

[22:28] Pilipo Underwood: Makes for plenty excitement, Old
Hob

[22:30] Old Hob (gilgamesh.ishmene): I rember wen the Capt'n
was in a blood feud, paid well, then the was the ...

[22:30] Cadmus Lupindo: Enough Hob!

[22:30] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein)
chuckles softly

[22:30] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein): Your
bartender reminisces more than you care to hear, hm?

[22:31] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein): Or
more than you care for others to hear is it?

[22:31] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein) smiles
amusedly into his drink

[22:31] Cadmus Lupindo: I don't want him to bore the
clients.

[22:32] Pilipo Underwood: Ah, I love good stories...

[22:32] Old Hob (gilgamesh.ishmene): Ill stick ta me own
stories then. Like when in Borneo an I saw a gaint man-ape.

 [22:33] Dr. Kristos
Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein): Not a bore at all, Mr. Lupindo. I quite
enjoy such tales.

[22:34] Old Hob (gilgamesh.ishmene): So Lefty, Luck en I was
on shore look'n  fer supplies when we saw
the gain ape-man!

[22:34] Cadmus Lupindo rolles his eyes.

[22:35] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein):
Goodness!

[22:35] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein): How
big was it?

[22:35] Old Hob (gilgamesh.ishmene): E was nine feet igh an
snorting an swingin in da trees.

[22:36] Old Hob (gilgamesh.ishmene): Snached up Lucky e did.

[22:36] Old Hob (gilgamesh.ishmene): Last we saw ov em.

[22:36] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein): Oh
my!

[22:36] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein): So he
didn't manage to escape as far as you know?

[22:36] Cadmus Lupindo: Ah.. yes.. good thing his name was
"LUCKY".

[22:37] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein)
chuckles

[22:37] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein):
Unfortunate he wasn't as lucky as his name implied.

[22:37] Old Hob (gilgamesh.ishmene): All we ever found was
is Luck rabbit foot.

[22:37] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein): How
did he garner such a name in the first place?

[22:37] Cadmus Lupindo: Yes because THAT was full of Luck.

[22:38] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein)
chuckles. "Harvey's got two of them and he seems to do just fine"

[22:38] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein): But
then they aren't detached from his ankles either.

 [22:40] Old Hob
(gilgamesh.ishmene): Elll wen we was in a tiff wit a Navy vessel an Bruce, da

right.

[22:42] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein): Right
handed, was he?

[22:42] Cadmus Lupindo: Ah.. yes THAT would make him lucky..
Rolls his eyes again.

 [22:43] Dr. Kristos
Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein) chuckles at the Captain's remark.

 [22:44] Cadmus
Lupindo: Not even sure I want to know about "Lefty".

[22:44] Dr. Kristos Sonnerstein (kristos.sonnerstein) chuckles
