I watched most of a Spongebob cartoon while waiting for the "Reply to Thread" screen to load. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />Lars, Orinar, Menno, and Kyl join the gnome Tiax for lunch. As food and ale are brought, more patrons enter the tavern. Most of them are off-duty soldiers. One is an acolyte from the temple familiar to Lars. Her name is Vadara.In the lunch-time hustle and bustle, the tankards come in a steady stream along with platters of cold cuts, cheeses, and breads hot from the ovens. The harpsichordist segues from one lively tune to another. The soldiers raise their cups and sing the bawdier songs.The happier atmosphere seems to irritate the dwarf and his company. After only a few minutes, the dwarf grumbles something and gets up from his seat. His companions follow suit, and the entire group exits the tavern.Shortly after they're gone, Kyl leans forward."Lars," he says, "I'm pretty sure that dwarf had a fey blade. I saw him slip it into his belt."</blockquote>
