[QUOTE="Gregor, post: 5559992, member: 11751"] Lars leads a pretty human maid up the stairs and a few boys from the kitchen follow up with hot buckets of water for his tub. ****** The three Dwarves pause from their game and look up at the two humans who have come to join the game. One of them wipes foam from his beard and says: [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]"We be playin' a round er two of Axe-er-a-Dram! Tis an ancient game cobbled t'gether by me granda. Twas a grand way to pass tha time b'twixt slayin' Orcs at the siege of Koldaroon! I'll buy tha malt, but tha loser buys tha winner a keg o' the fine Dwarven stuff yer sipping like dandies back at yer table."[/COLOR] He steps up and lobs an axe at the target. Despite his casual toss, it lodges itself firmly in the target. He turns back after removing the axe and hands it to Alric and Bannock. [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]"Name be Brondwyn of tha Nickel Hold by tha by! Who ye be and where do ye hail from?
