Blade is there, gleaming like polished obsidian, his entire form comprised of sharp angles and blades. However, the inn seems to be sensitive to the violence that Blade embodies, for try as he might, he cannot enter! It is as if an unseen hand holds him from taking that final step into the Inn. Whatever magic makes the inn a haven for the most powerful from their even more powerful enemies, prevents Blade from crossing the threshold and engaging Meshtak. The huge creature tries with all his strength, but finally pulls back, his red eyes gleaming in frustration and fury at Meshtak sitting at the bar. He sits back to wait...for even Meshtak could not stay inside the pub forever, and when he came out, Blade would be waiting. Meshtak gives Blade an uninterested, bleary-eyed glance, and turns back to his spirits. Meshtak the Draga -- "You can't help that.
