The door to the Red Dragon Inn opens, and a tall, thin man enters. As he turns to shut the door he gives a quick whistle and a huge black dog runs into the common room. The beast stands at least three and half feet from floor to the top of its head and with a soild look making it easily over a hundred pounds. The tall man smiles at the dog as it stands in the middle of the room looking around smelling the air. Falling in beside the man as he walks up to the bar, it then jumps up putting its paws on the bar and its head even with its owner who is over six feet tall. "Blue", he says in a backwater country drawal. The great dane drops back to the floor and ducks his huge head in shame. Turning to the bartender he asks, "I'm told be asking for Joe, but by the descript I's givin' you must be he. I'm Jonah..
Jonah Stone." His hand extended the newcomer leans in to hear Joe over the patrons. Leaning back up straight he looks around a little nervous. Joe gives him a nod as if to go ahead, and the man calls out, "I be Jonah and me big friend thar be Blue." He looks back at Joe and then says, "Were from the southluns lookin fur work."
