Another Ad Vizsla Coined

Another Ad Vizsla Coined

Saga Drinking Hall Zsoldos

The Saga was busy for the first time in a while, though this was a normal occurrence. The holiday season always meant a bit of scattering for the Vizsla clan. Those few who had family, blood or found, often left to visit or spend time together, many others took advantage of the time to take a vacation, enjoy a break from the grind. A select group of madmen though? For them, it meant one thing.

Holiday pay.

But that was over, and Vizsla had come together once again within the wooden grand hall.

One table had its wood nigh covered in empty bottles used to refill their drinks, though populated by only four people; Lontra, Zoron, Dracaryis and Rulvak indulging in simple conversation. A nearby one with fewer bottles was surrounded by Valhavoc, Zed, Kodo, Haro, Siorc and Jim, a bit more spirited in conversation yet keeping somewhat to themselves.

At a larger table sat Hector, accompanied by Honso, Jai, Caleb and Caskus, this table possibly the most rowdy group of the Saga. In contrast, at one of the corners of the hall sat Mako, possibly the quietest person attending, along with Azler, or ‘Puck’ these days, Elequin, likely sent by Arcia, and Kora.

Many more seats filled with many more members of the Clan kept the walls bustling with lively activity.

One of the few seats unfilled was sat at the bar, next to one Malodin’Tater. The Chiss sat with a mug in front of him, nursing it here and there as he cleaned his pistols.

“Mind if I claim a chair?” inquired a gruff voice.

The Chiss glanced over his shoulder to the Hybrid behind him, then gave a shrug. “I might be able to stop ya if I wanted to, but given you’re a step up the ladder, I suppose I can let you have it.”

A chuckle came from Kindle as he took his seat next to Tater, raising a hand to catch the bartender’s attention. “Two more.”

As the large creature settled into the seat, thankfully more comfortable and able to hold his weight than he expected, he glanced at the weapons the man was working on.

“Hear you took on a couple of large jobs during the holiday, put those to the test did you?”

“Eh, another job, another credit. I just like to make sure they’re always in the best shape. Even without these I’m still certain I could get a job done, but it’s just easier with them.” is the Mandalorian’s reply without moving his eyes from their task.

“Oh I’m sure, been hearing good things about the things you’ve been running lately, and still while managing to handle most of your Clan duties too. That’s good to hear, I always prefer people who can fulfill their duties while still keeping busy with their own work. Find the duty-only types far too controlling about everything, while those who forsake duty for their goals, well, it's just not a good look for those who work under us to say the least.”

“Well, while I suppose I’m glad that words of my work are appreciated, you’ll find I’m a man of few and don’t really indulge in small talk too often. I’ll pay for your drink at least.”

“Ah, I understand that. If it’s any consolation, I’m the same way, but I’ve been trying to change that. People seem to get nervous if I’m too quiet.” Kindle says with a quick chuckle, though his tone drops with his next statement. “Though to inform you, your credit is no longer welcome here.”

Malodin’Tater’s demeanor immediately followed suit; his hands freezing in their movement, his bright red eyes turning to the red scaled man in a sharp movement.

“If this is your way of firing me, that’s one thing, but if you plan to remove me from the Clan, you had best have one hell of an explanation.” the Chiss, voice flat and cold, nigh demands.

“Simple, and to your benefit, doesn’t even take a word.” responds the Proconsul as he reaches to his side opposite of the hunter.

The clawed hand moves forward, placing a box before his drinking partner. Small in size, roughly the size of a normal human’s palm, but ornate in design with silver filigree, clearly designed by a master craftsman.

A silent moment passes before the pistol is almost reluctantly placed down, then the box is lifted and then carefully opened, revealing a coin engraved with Mandalorian script and the Vizsla symbol.

That silence is broken by the sounds of wood scraping, Malodin’s head turning quickly around him to see the clan members behind him all standing, drinks in hand and raised in his direction.

“I’m sure you well know, no Ad Vizsla pays for their drinks in our turf Malodin’Tater.” reminds the Hybrid as he also stands, towering beside the sat Chiss and raising his own mug. “So long as you hold that coin, every drink is on us. As I said, we’ve been hearing about your latest jobs and it proved enough to cover the last cost of that coin. You have given credits, blood and sweat, and in return, receive the respect that comes with 2 million of them supplied to the Clan. Today is your honor day as we welcome a new member of Ad Vizsla!”

Sounds of celebration echoes within the hall, from claps, to cheers, each member indulging their own way of congratulating the Chiss on his accomplishment. A smirk crosses his lips as he raises up his own drink, a silent appreciation to the Mandalorian clan.

Kindle places his empty mug down on the bar before turning to Malodin’Tater and giving him a two finger salute as he begins to march away. “I’ll leave you to your own celebration method, keep up the good work hunter.”

Picking up the coin and rotating it between his fingers, the Chiss returns to his business, stopping only to order something a little higher on the shelf.

Congrats Malodin'Tater

Through your actions you have surpassed two million credits earned on behalf of the Clan, as such you have earned the right to Vizsla's clan title. Thank you for your loyalty and longevity with the Clan, because of this you deserve to be called ad Vizsla and walk amongst the best of our clan. Congrats on such an achievement.

It is an honor to bestow the Clan title of Ad Vizsla. Congratulations, Tater!

This is the Way.

Clan Title Update

I'm delighted to say that a lot of you are getting close to the Clan Title!

To help showcase this, I've changed our chart to show just the most recent Ad Vizsla and then the top 10 chasing the title. I hope this makes it easier for folks to read it and show just how close you are. You can find the tracker to the left.

This isn't to diminish our honourable ad Vizslas. You can always view all current Ad Vizsla Title Holders here..

As a reminder, the only way to get the title is by earning 2 million credits for the clan.

There is no vote. It’s not a cool kids’ club (even though having the title is cool). It’s not a popularity contest. Earn credits, earn the title. That’s it.

There are plenty of ways to do that, and you can find them here.

Should you want to know your exact credit amount, you can see this on your dossier's activity assessment tab. Let Raiju know if you need help finding this.

One thing to remember: If you leave for another clan, your clan credits reset to zero! So like...don't do that.

If you think it’s too hard or too out of reach, just take a look at Zoron’s numbers…he’s earned the clan title three times over.

Conclusion

Once again, congrats to Tater on the title!

On behalf of the clan, you deserve this! Thank you for your loyalty and longevity with the Clan, because of this you deserve to be call ad Vizsla and walk amongst the best of our clan. Congrats on such an achievement.

I also want to thank Azler for the fiction provided above!

That wraps this week's update. Good luck to those attempting to be the next awarded!
