[QUOTE="Axel, post: 5727430, member: 93196"] [b]Olek[/b] Olek was happy that he didn't have to share with either of the Elves. One didn't talk at all, and the other had not had anying worth saying so far. Lune, on the other hand, he was pleased with. Sharing with the ladies may have been awkward, and the tall wizard is a strange fellow. Who knows what sort of odd animals a wizard keeps in his room?! The room itself was satisfactory. It was, after all, only a place to sleep. Olek carefully stowed his greataxe and armour in the cupboard, and went down to eat in his only set of clothes with his warhammer tucked into the belt. He would not be parted from the hammer for love or money. After the meal has finished, Olek explains the traditional Dwarven victory celebration to those that are interested.
