"If you want that sort of thing, take Aski over to the Limpid Pool tavern and buy him a pint or two... or three, for it'll take all night for him to get through it all." The rest of the lodge breaks into a fit of terse, subdued chuckles.Aski looks back towards the one who spoke, "Now 'at's not fair, Artos. Well, not completely fair, anyhow. I may 'ave embellished a bit 'ere and there, but I saw what I saw. Believe what'cha want, but 'at was a ghos...""That's quite enough!" Artos booms, cutting off the trapper in mid-sentence. As he stands and turns to face Aski, the massive build of the man is seen for the first time. At a formidable seven feet tall, Artos is literally head & shoulders taller than the other Northmen gathered here. Clad in a simple blue woolen tunic and leather boots, his most striking feature is his snow white hair, both the color and the quantity of it. Looking much like a sheepdog, the entirety of Artos is covered in white curls and his full, thick beard covers his face, leaving only his ice blue eyes and a hint of a mouth visible. In addition, he wields a massive double-headed axe, which he leans on as he continues berating Aski, "We all know what you saw. What good does it do to tell it again? The whole of the town is gripped in fear and suspicion now. Until the Thegn decides what to do, don't you think it better to let that story rest?"Turning towards the group, Artos grunts and says, "Why don't you lot come sit with me over here and I'll fill you in on what little we actually know... all embellishments aside." He looks briefly in Aski's direction before calling out to the lodgemaster, "Geof, a round for the house on me. And whatever these 'brave heroes' want, as well." Underneath his tremendous beard, a hint of a smile is glimpsed as Artos winks at you all.</blockquote>
