The accounts come from all corners, yet are remarkably similar.  One such account follows...Account of Thorgaard Hammerfist - We were lost in the woods. D'aron, meself, and Idtra. We had no food. Our water was gettin' low. By me Great aunt's beard, I was even out o' ale! We had been wanderin' fer days with no clue as ta where we were and it was startin ta get dark. You ask me, all them trees look alike. BAH! I'll take a good solid roof o' stone o'er me head any day. Anyways, we're wanderin' round out in the middle o' leafyland when we sees a clearin' with a building sitting smack in the middle! There was smoke in the chimney, music in the air, and light in the windows. Now normally, I be wary o' a place that pops outta nowhere, but mind you, I had been dryer than a flatbread fart for nigh on three days. I wanted an ale. So, we walk up and the sign says The Clove 'N Hoof. In we go. Other than the barkeep and us, the place is empty. But there is a spread laid out like the it's the king's birthday. The barkeep says to us, sit and eat.  So we sits and eats. I know what yer thinkin', What sane fella would do such a thing? I know, I ask meself that same thing. But at the time it seemed alright. All the while we are gorging ourselves the barkeep just sits and smiles and cleans the bartop. And none of us even raise an eyebrow! Later, after we are done, the barkeep steps around to the stage and I swears to all me gods... he was a SATYR! He had the man top and the goat bottom! I almost choked. \Anyways, he sits on the stage and starts blowin' on his pipes. It was the most beautiful thing this old dwarf e'er heard I tells ya. It brought a tear to me eye. When he finished he changed his tune. The first was sad. The next was strange. We were only listening for a few moments but I guess we all fell asleep. The next thing we know, it's morning and we're wakin' up on the edge of the woods.We found out later that our purses were all lighter by one gold each. A fair trade in my book!</blockquote>
