*Before long, all of the groom's guests (that's you guys!) have gathered and headed to the banquet hall, which has been set up for a big party. Entertainment has arrived for the bachelor party, including a live orchestra, scantily-clad exotic dancers, and a group of theatre players, and the chefs haved pulled out not quite all the stops (those are saved for the morrow) but still set forth a veritable banquet. According to the staff, the first hour will be just them and Ammon, after which a ship will come over carrying some of Ammon's noble acquaintances and male relatives, and those plus Orin will join in too.*
*However, Ammon himself, the man of the hour, is fashionably late, and so his guests are left to their own devices for a while.*
