[QUOTE="Mal Malenkirk, post: 5352773, member: 834"] Leonard broods on his fate while slowly eating his eggs and bacon. What a depressing way to end a commercial run; robbed by bandits. Ronen looks at Leonard with snide amusement. The woes of the unprepared are always mildly amusing, especially when you are nearly drunk. Suddenly a Goliath enters the room boldly. What’s so bold you ask? He wears a ringleader type of top hat. That’s a bold fashion statement to add to a shining armour plate. Through his alcohol induced headache, Leonard hears the innkeeper groans ‘Not again’. His attention perks up. The Goliath is carrying a reasonable amount of magical wares. A successful adventurer... He seems to be scanning the room. Looking for partners? Leonard can’t afford to let any opportunity pass him by and his attention perks up. Ronen on the other hand is appalled at the fashion massacre expertly executed by the behemoth. The Goliath clears his throat. [COLOR="Silver"]-''Good news everybody! Is Ghorgor Bay!
