opens whenever i feel like it
the IRONBOWL
WHAT
is it
Tired of all the brothels and cozy taverns sprouting up in town? Want to shed some blood in a safe and consensual environment? Want to practice that fancy new ultimate move you got on a nigh fearless sunseeker with a big axe? Then you've come to the right place.The Ironbowl is a licensed fight club designed to look like a dive bar with a rusty cage. It is a neutral zone, which means both heroes and villains are allowed to come in without the fear of being suckerpunched or arrested out of nowhere.M'rhi would call this bar a social experiment. But honestly all the staff knows that he just craves violence done semi-legally.
menu
(All food and drink are roleplayed and free of charge)
Alcoholic
-----------------------------
White Garlean
– Goblin firewater mixed with coffee liqueur and cream, then served with ice. Contains actual gunpowder, though not of the Garlean variety.Costa Del Solada
– rum, palm milk, and mixed fruit juice. Served blended with crushed ice.Pine Sour
– made with this one particularly elusive brand of jenever from ishgard, lemon and lime juice, pine syrup and a single egg, this alpine drink is sure to return anyone to coerthas' pre-calamity days.Hangman’s Blood
– made from seven different types of alcohol all sourced from Aleport, Wineport and Camp Bronze Lake. quite possibly strong enough to be used as a disinfectant after fights, but c'har-kway would beg you to not use it that way.Sylphic Kiss
– a mead-based drink named for its light colour and refreshing taste. ⚠️Do not order if you are allergic to bees.⚠️Other Liquors
–Just ask.
Non-Alcoholic

Food
-----------------------------
Assorted nuts
- its just a bowl of nuts. please do not order if you are allergic to nuts.Ishgardian chips
- despite the name, these fried snacks didn't originate from ishgard. colloquially known as 'fries' in the new world. served with the topping of your choice (cheese, ketchup, or both), a piece of rock salt, and a grater for sensible people who do not lick rock salts.beer-battered chocobo wings
- an interesting discovery made by the bartenders late at night while deep in their cups and trying to figure out the practicality of the menu (with some advice from m'rhi's sister). you can't get drunk eating this, but it does give you the kick of cheap ale all the same.Dried squid
- a type of seafood imported directly from Hingashi. rumours has it that its the last azure dragoon's favourite food. served lightly roasted, just the way he likes it.
IC/OOC RULES
OOC Rules
this is an immersive roleplay venue where you are absolutely allowed to do your most ridiculous and high-powered fantasy attacks ever. BUT--
The only people allowed to use skills and any flashy effects in the venue are the people currently inside the pit.
The referee will invite you and your opponent into a separate chat. Keep rolls to that chat (type /dice) so as to not spam the general chat and also keep things interesting for those watching!!
Highest roll wins. In case of a tie, both opponents re-roll. Roll at the start for initiative, and the person with the higher roll attacks first. The other person then roll to defend, etc etc. Think of it a little like a TTRPG....?
If a fight drags too long (over 50 minutes or if the referee feels like it) a sudden death roll might be called out. Both opponents roll for the last time and the winner will be chosen from this one roll (regardless of how many times they have been hit). Work out how it ends in party chat with the referee and the opponent!
Don't be an ass if you lose or roll a bad dice. Don't go "wehhhhhh my character is a reaper he shouldn't lose to a dumb healer" you eat that L properly you little shit.
As this is a solo venture, a bartender is not always available. Please use the NPC (his name is
JeffridQiq) in that case.the red/yellow/green system is used in here. /yell red if you're feeling uncomfortable, and all rp will immediately stop so things can be discussed oocly. yes i know thats the bdsm colour system. no this is not an erp venue.
IC Rules
To register for a fight, send a /tell to the staff (c'har-kway tia). Tell him as well if you would like a specific opponent. Otherwise, he will pair you with another random person who has also registered.
All the fighting are to remain in the cage. Should you have beef with someone, tell the staff and he'll arrange a fight for the both of you to duke it out.
You can use any kind of weapon you like, but please ensure that you do not accidentally kill your opponent
if you are worried about the lethality of your weapon or if you did not bring any, the bar provides blunt training weapons for use.
Fights automatically end after someone gets hit three times. (first to three)
Breaking bones and spilling blood is allowed, but please ensure that all bones and guts remain inside the body.
All limbs should remain attached to their respective bodies. This applies to Magitek limbs as well.
No Genital shots.
Don't kill anyone.
A match is automatically over if a) someone passes out, b) someone loses too much blood c) staff says so.
the Ironbowl is a neutral zone; regardless of whether a patron is an enemy soldier or a wanted criminal, they are to be treated as a regular citizen of limsa lominsa whilst in the bar.
Only fighters and the referee are allowed in the cage.
All fighters have to be above 18.
C'har-Kway might hop into the ring voluntarily depending on the number of customers around. He's good at his job, if his job included senseless chopping.
Practice good sportsmanship!!
!!!DO NOT LET M'RHI INTO THE CAGE!!!
Rules adapted from the Admiral's Boot and the original Grindstone Tournament.
staff
C'har-kway Tia
Ostensibly the manager, bartender, waiter, janitor, dishwasher and head referee of the place. Born in Ala Mhigo like nearly all of the Golden Eye Antiquarium's employees, this young man has been personally trained by M'aculia, head of the defence department, and is more than happy to show off his skills in and outside the cage.
Qiq [NPC]
Jeffrid's replacement following the M'rhi-turned-into-an-actual-cat incident. Completely stoic and icy, he is M'rhi's personal butler temporarily assigned to the bar as it's true manager and head bartender. Does not have a tongue. Will not talk to you.
