How's this for an introduction Lughart. I trust I have not taken too many liberties.
[sblock=Background]An extremely tall, muscular human walks out of the desert and into the Traders Rest settlement. On close examination, he looks like he belongs to one of the local nomadic tribes. Except they tend to be short and wiry.
Entering the inn, he addresses the barkeeper
"Me go South. When next caravan?" he asks. After listening to the answer he continues
"OK. Me want room, food and ale." Throrg, for that is the man's name, rummages around in his clothing and eventually extracts a coin purse. Taking out a couple of gold coins, he throws them on the bar.
"Tell me when want more." The bartender picks up the coins and examines them. They look ancient and he certainly hasn't seen anything like them before. Biting them he determines that they are real gold. So he smiles at Throrg and nods. Looking Throrg over he can see that he is very dusty and the smell indicts that he hadn't had a bath for quite a while
"Would sir like a bath." he says.
"Don't need one. Had one on my birthday. Three months age." By this time the bartender's smile is definitely forced but he tries one more time.
"Bath's on the house. We will also wash your clothes at the same time."
Later a much cleaner Throrg enters the tap room.[/sblock]
