Once a few of the adventurers had left in search of work, a few moments of unusual silence and relative calm descended upon the tavern.
That momentary serenity is crushed with an echoing 'Bang!' as the front door was slammed violently open- as some of the inhabitants of the room began, no doubt, to reach reflexively for their weapons a tall young woman stepped through the open doorway. It seemed as if she had forced the door open to allow her to get her weapon through- she carried a massive spear, which looked nearly as large as some of the lampposts in the street outside, and getting it through the doorway was not easy.
Once she was inside the room, she paused long enough for a quick look around, surveying the clientele without apparent concern. She leaned the large spear against the wall beside an empty table, allowing the weapon's tip to rest against the ceiling, then stepped forward to the bar. At a closer glance, she was human- tall and broad-shouldered for a woman, with an athletic build. Her hair was reddish-brown, tied into a single thick braid which fell well past her shoulders, and she had pale skin and startlingly vivid blue eyes. She wore armor of heavy hide, lacquered to a dark brown, under a heavy cloak which appeared to be made of an entire large wolf-skin. Her voice was rich, obviously a singer's trained tones. "I am Johanna Wolfkiller," she announced to the barkeep. "By Earth and Sky it is good to be in a real tavern once more! I'll have whatever you are serving the dwarves- as long as it is ale!"
