After a moment, he seems to realize what occurred, and he looks down."That's a shame."He resumes wiping the bar with a rag.As the night wears on, the crowd within The Fancy Drake trickles out into the sleeping city streets. Shale closes and locks the front door, then gathers each of you around the central table in the main room. The only light in the tavern now comes from a dim, enchanted candle that rests on the bar behind him."Most of ye probably haven't heard about The Orphans' Guild before, so it's time that I fill you in. When me granddad, Tommanite Stoneheart, came out of Fomor during the rise of The Evil One, he settled here in Black Lake. He was the first dwarf to ever live in this town - before it was even a city, really. The Evil One didn't stop at Fomor, though. He moved straight on to Black Lake, and when he did, my grandded got together with a couple of local kids - kids who had been orphaned by The Evil One's armies, and put together a resistance group. They called themselves The Orphans' Guild, and they worked every day, protecting refugees and sabotaging the plans of their enemy. They hid resistance members in this very tavern. When Lord Hood took a stand against The Evil One, he reached out to The Orphans' Guild and used them like a strike-force, assassinating higher-ups in the villains' organization. The tradition continued, resisting evil wherever the found it, and supporting the Wolfcrown when they could. Captain Scultone was the one who took over after my granddad died, but we still meet here in the Drake every week. It was me and him who decided to spring you from the pit. In the morning, the Cap'n is going to show up and assign you to your portion of the investigation - assuming ye want to help. The idea is this: we know The Cloak was behind the hit on the king. There aren't any answers in this country, though. We can either hit The Cloak on their own turf. If we can, Adele-willing, capture Bright-Eyed Teach, we'll have our answers. Anyway, it's late. You all go to bed while I finish cleaning up. I have a feeling we got a big day ahead of us."Shale shows you to your quarters: a corner of well-furnished, homey rooms.
