"It is alright Jeffrey, I'll allow them to peace-bond their weapons in order to enter." Turning to address the entire party he continues with a large smile, "I am glad you have made it safely here friends. I hope you did not run into much trouble on the road." He then ushers everyone into the council hall and if told about the lizard attack on the farmers earlier, he will promise to send some guards out to clean things up.The Council Chamber is beautifully finished in polished oak wall paneling. At the head of a large wooden table is an abnormally large chair. The chair is occupied by a small fat halfling, whose chubby face is mirrored in an enormous oil portrait above him, which hangs alongside smaller portraits of previous mayors. The halfling has elaborate curly hair and wears rich purple robes. He has a jeweled short sword at his belt. Also present, seated on his right and scribbling furiously with a large quill, is a thin, bald, hatchet-faced man. Although his head is down, you can feel his eyes darting around. Trond is here as well of course, having taken a place standing against the wall. Also there is a well-fed halfling man, a male dwarf with a long, black beard, and a male human who has the yeasty scent you associate with brewing beer. The halfling introduces himself as Mayor Osborne Applebottom, and introduces the scribbling man as the town clerk, Cedric Thornton. He then clumsily jumps the 6 inches from his chair to the floor and walks over to the party. "Greetings, travelers. Trond has told me much about you. Welcome to our humble town. The Right Honorable Town Council of Orchard Meadows waits with baited breath to hear whether such mighty adventurers will deign to aid us in our hour of need. We need you to go into the Feverglades and destroy the rogue lizardfolk that have brought naught but chaos and spilled blood to our peaceful hamlet. These scaly demons have been attacking the homesteads that border the swamp and we are but poor farmers. For this service, you will be richly rewarded 100 pieces of platinum, the entire profit from this year's crop. What say you?"</blockquote>
