"I don't know if 'stumbled' is the right word, but this here is a gatherin' of the able-bodied men in town what has answered the call for 'irregulars' to fill out the local militia, seein' as how we's got ourselfs a wee bit o' 'lizard prollem.' And, to Basher7 she says, "Why, that's right kind of you there, sar-....uhh....Sar." She soon brings the drinks and generously sized bowls of rolls and nuts to go with them. She gives Basher7 some sidelong glances the whole time, too. "Bless me, sar, I ha'n't ne'er seen no man like you'n before! I knows t'ain't polite to be a-starin', but I cain't seem to help meself."

"No need to worry about staring. I'm sure those who forged me considered me a work of art. While technically, I am gender neutral it would be most approprate to think of me as male as I was constructed for war. Now as to your 'lizard problem.' We are quite aware of it. We slew a sizable band of Kobolds on the road not far from your fair village just a few hours ago. Perhaps if you could tell who ever is in charge over there of this they might wish to speak with us. We may be better suited to dealing with the problem."

"Corporal Gainly," calls the woman loudly, "I'm a-thinking' you'll be a-wantin' to talk to these-hyeer chaps right away. They've done had a run-in with some of our 'horny toads' and they sartainly look none the worse for wear."
The leather-aproned crafstman, evidently Corporal Gainly, immediately stops his roll-call and puts down his list of names. "At ease, men, rest easy for a moment. We may yet be in luck!" And he quickly makes his way to your table, and the entire room seems to have found reason to look in your direction, as well. "Greetings Noble Sirs, I am 'Corporal' Gainly chief of the Winterhaven militia this month. We could surely use some fine, strong men to help us. We must go and see Lord Padraig right away!"

"Corporal Gainly, pleased to make your acquaintance. If you could give us a few moments to refresh ourtselves with food and drink before we present ourselves to a Lord, we would be most appreciative. Our battle with the lizard men was earlier, and we walked here afterwards. While we eat, perhaps you could tell us a little about what's been happening around Winterhaven."

'Coporal' Gainly says, "Of course, of course, take your time by all means! 'Even the strongest arm won't work if the belly is empty,' or so my mum always said."
OOC: I really need to consult the module to see just what this guy may know, so that's about as far as we can go until I get home this evening. Sorry, and thanks for your patience.

"Did I hear someone call for food?" asks Mother Wrafton, the barwoman/proprietress. She wipes her hands on her apron and then opens the kitchen door behind her. In just a few seconds, she is opening it again, as she bears out a large try covered with large steaming bowls and two baskets. She places a bowl in front of each of you, and a basket of dark, hardy bread within easy reach as well. "This is my famous partridge stew," she tells you. "Though I mus' a'mit that I were a partridge or two shy of a flock, if'n ye take my meanin'. I made up the shortfall wi'...oh, I don' rightly know what they was to tell the truth, but they had wings and feathers, and they put up sumthin' awful of a squawkin' fit when I went to ring they scrawny necks!" Mother Wrafton puts a bowl in front of Basher7 at first, and then, realizing her mistake, she says, "Whoops! Ye'll not be a-needin' that, wiil ye? I'll jus' eat that'un meself."
In spite of the too-colorful description of the preparation of the dish, the stew tastes most excellent!
OOC: Is it just me, or does it seem like everyone around here eats stew 3 times/day?? I gotta vary our diet more, I guess.
OOC: NOTE TO DM-SELF: Don't forget to look up what Corporal Gainly knows about the threat(s) to Winterhaven!

Basher7 can easily see that he may have been sadly mistaken to even use the word 'stout' out of sheer kindness. But he also realizes that these 'would-be reserves' are just the local citizenry, shopkeepers and craftsmen of Winterhaven, and not the Town guard, who are presumably at least a bit more martially inclined.
