[QUOTE="nerdytenor, post: 4802258, member: 74526"] The sound inside the bar increases gradually as patrons continue to file in and trade various bits of metal for various glasses of liquid. Laughter can be heard, and a few parts of the bar become slightly obscured by the haze of pipe smoke. As promised, the bartender's relief arrives, and he motions for you to follow him into the back room where the bodies lie hidden. The bartender kneels next to the two dead humans, and sighs. "This is a grim business. I'd like to be able to say these are the first dead I've had to identify, but, alas, I cannot." He leans forward and removes the helmet of the first man. He is surprisingly young - his face is haggard and pale. He pauses carefully to consider his face, and then performs the same ritual on the other man. About the same age, and with similar features, it could be that they were brothers. Both of them look as if they hadn't had much to eat in a number of days. The bartender rises from his kneeling position and shakes his head. "I'd say I know just about everyone who passes through this village on a regular basis, and I've never seen these men." He frowns. "Sorry I can't help you here." A quick search of the bodies finds each of the two men were carrying identical satchels containing the same amount of money - exactly 100 gold pieces. "Hmm... Well, usually lost property becomes the property of the bar, but I'd say in this case the gold is yours." He grins conspiratorially. "Looks like you've had a bit of luck today after all!" The bartender does not make any attempt to inspect the warforged - he is clearly spooked by the machines. [COLOR=DimGray] OOC: 200 gold from the deceased humans. What do you want to do now?
