 The grizzled bartender nods as Wilmorn introduces himself. "I be Grog," he begins, "Zitteraux is da chef, and Marla helps me wit da booze. Careful wit yer gold, I get dat. Nuttin wrong dere." With that, he turns and walks to the kitchen, announcing to some unseen figure behind a swinging door that he needs a 'special'. Some sort of muffled banter is returned, highly accented in the style of the outer baronies. He pitches a couple coins into the till and returns with a mug of ale. "Yer drink, Wilmorn of Oakhrn… hmm… Oaktavin. Mmmm, no. Wilmorn, then. Only Wilmorn I know, so it good," he scratches his chin before continuing. "Food in just a bit."

Green eyes settle upon Grog for a while as he speaks, but dart to the door when it swings open and a tengu announces his return. "Nothing so far tonight," Charity begins, addressing Paskell's question, "But I've not spent more than a few nights here without finding something to do, so the employers still come here, to be sure. The seasoned adventurers are away, so the rest of us are left to our own devices. And I think this guy," she gestures to Wilmorn, sitting at a table, "Might be looking for his first job--may he get a good one, of course."

Siddhartha walks into the tavern, purposely failing to make eye contact with any of its inhabitants. He sits down at the bar, and politely taps on the counter a few times to signal the bartender. Without looking up, he quietly utters under his breath "Water please."

With Wilmorn's voice cut off by the arrival of yet another newcomer, Charity cocks her head and watches the big man as he orders at the bar before responding. "Well, it's been a few nights for me so far, but I spend a lot of time working down at the Cathedral of Glass as a guard. Or a greeter, in the last week, anyway." She stops and muses, "Hunh. Odd they ask that of me."
