\u201cWell, that was a good day\u2019s work,\u201d stated a young man in splendid armor.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, you would say that,\u201d replied a gruff looking dwarf busy scrubbing at a greave. \u201cYou didn\u2019t have to crawl from under the carcass of a dead Giant. I\u2019ll never get the smell out of my Armor.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, you\u2019re just upset because I got in the killing blow. If you weren\u2019t so busy hacking at his hamstrings you\u2019d have noticed he was falling right on top of you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, if you\u2019d look around to what the rest of us are doing, before you start swinging that big toothpick, then perhaps\u2026..\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you two still at it,\u201d interrupted the third member of their party, as he seated himself at the table. \u201cI\u2019d have thought the two of you would have settled your differences over the long ride back into town. Here, Saienci, I found you a nice elven wine,\u201d he said sliding a glass in front of the young man. \u201cAnd for our dear, Brak, I\u2019m afraid they don\u2019t carry any dwarven ale, but they do have a very strong dark stout. The proprietor tells me it may not be quite as strong as what your used to, but he has enough of it to fill even your bottomless thirst.\u201d As he said this he indicated to a young serving girl behind him who placed a small cask and an earthenware mug in front of the dwarf.<\/p>\n
The dwarf, in his turn, smiled and waved the mug away. He proceeded to pop the bung hole with his dagger and up turned the cask directly into his waiting mouth. A few minutes later he came up for air, a huge grin on his craggy face, \u201cWell, Hrom, I\u2019ll say one thing for you monks, for being human, you do know your drink.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy thank you,\u201d replied Father Hrom, \u201cIt comes from being cloistered. You spend all day going over musty tomes, then go back to a eight by eight room for the night. After a few years of this you\u2019d be completely nuts if you didn\u2019t have something else to fill the spaces. Thus we drink, inebriation is the only thing that keeps us sane. \u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMy sentiments exactly,\u201d muttered Brak, as he upturned the cask a second time. \u201cGirl, another,\u201d he roared across the busy barroom a moment later as he brought the now empty cask down hard on the table.<\/p>\n
They continued their conversation long into the night. The girl keeping a steady supply of drink going to their table, and every now and then a slice of mutton or beef. The proprietor was somewhat taken aback at the quantity, but then the Mayor had said not to worry about the bill, just send it over to the clerk\u2019s office in the morning. After all, they had saved the town. The giant had been roaming the countryside for months, attacking farms and homesteads. It was only a matter of time before he\u2019d decide to come into the town proper. If it hadn\u2019t been for these three, there might not have been a town in the near future. So, he was more than happy to supply them all the food and drink they\u2019d require.<\/p>\n
Somewhere in the early morning hours the three made their way to their rooms upstairs for a much needed respite. It wouldn\u2019t be until nearly noon before the first one would roll out of bed, much refreshed and ready for the next adventure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
