[QUOTE="CrimsonFlameWielder, post: 5962183, member: 6684473"] It is not long before Boomer, escorted by the motley crew of humanoids and owlbears, reaches the Hanged Man Inn where they were to meet the Lieutenant. As if on queue, the Lieutenant walks out of the Hanged Man, and seeing Boomer coming with you, greets you with a wide smile. [COLOR=Cyan][COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]"Well done! I can see that you were successful in finding Mr. Rockbeard for us.
