[QUOTE="Lazlow, post: 2296801, member: 24242"] [b]The most regular of regulars arrives![/b] [color=DarkRed]"Certainly m' dear, certainly,"[/color] Sunderkeg says as he and Muirna fill the table with bowls of soup, plates of fruits, vegetables, cheese, and bread, a couple of roast squabs, and various tankards of drink. At this time a distant but clear bell rings out; if any of you had to venture a guess, you'd think it came from the vicinity of the city center you passed on your way into town. As the bell rings, every patron in the tavern turns towards the front doors, where it opens slowly, as if it didn't quite have the strength to make it all the way. Those townspeople who were situated in the center of the tavern scoot to either side, making a clear pathway through the room from the door to the bar. Just when you wonder what in the world could be happening, the most amazingly decrepit-looking beast slowly meanders into the room. This animal is old... And bald... It wears an eye-patch (which is strange for any manner of beast, much less this one)... It has an air about it that, inexplicably, brings to mind the salty sea air... It's shaggy coat of fur is red (although it is shot through with flecks of grey and white)... And, most amazingly of all: It is a dog.
