The Polished Staff
OOC: Everybody coming for eats at the Polished Staff?
IC: Soulfetter and Brae out-hustle everybody else to the Polished Staff. A Gnome, that SoulFetter says is Gus Goldwort, the semi-official "Special Squad Bartender," sees them coming and hurries back inside to make ready. When they enter, he is nowhere to be seen, but the grinning halfling proprietress, Mattie Bulgar, loudly greets them and says, "Gus is getting your usual spot warmed up and ready." With a wink and a grin for Soulfetter, she says, "I've just taken a load of staves out of the oven, and I spiced them special for you, lad!" And greeting Brae, she says, "I don't believe I've had the pleasure of meeting you, Sir, but any friend of SoulFetter's is certainly welcome under my roof! My word, but he can make my staves vanish! And I thought Moru was the wizard among you lads!" And then to SoulFetter, she says, "Aren't you going to introduce me to your handsome friend?"
