At first, he refused, and returned to his whiskey. Tommi told outlandish tales, and he told them well. The halflings laughed. Their honest joy and youthful vitality puzzled the dwarf, but in spite of himself, he found it somewhat infectious. He nodded as they sang a song, and he very nearly chuckled when they danced on the table and were told sternly by Wilhelmina Hardcheese to "Take that tomfoolery elsewhere!"It was entirely against his will and better judgement (and probably down to the whiskey) that Angis found himself, dragged by the arms on their way out the door, in company with the youthful trio. They went onto the streets of Daggerford, past the Caravan Gate, across the Drill Field, on their way to the Daggerthrust Alehouse.The Drill Field was crowded. It appeared that a match was taking place, and all bets were in place. A ring of spectators surrounded two combatants. Word was, this was the culmination of a week-long unofficial tournament, and this was the final fight.[GM]More on that in a bit.[/GM][ooc]Places of Daggerford: Daggerthrust Ales (Area 31)Sturgin and Halla Brewer, the human couple that owns Daggerthrust Ales, have devoted themselves to the production of drink in new styles. Unlike the sweet, dark ales that other locals make from barley, the Brewers experiment with beers in the style of the famousGolden Sands Brewery in Calimshan, as well as with herbal ingredients such as heather from the High Moor and hops specially imported from the south. Halla is a Calishite, and her preference for the drink of her homeland pushed her husband, a man with a long family tradition of brewing, to try new things.It took a while to win over the locals, but travelers with more varied palates kept the business afloat while Sturgin and Halla made their case with free samples to influential folk. Now the release of a new brew is a much-anticipated event. Daggerthrust Ales—named in honor of the legend of Tyndal and the sharper taste of its beers—supplies the River Shining Inn, Lady Luck Tavern, the Otter’s Run, and the castle with drink.[/ooc]</blockquote>
