Suddenly, an elf in tattered brown robes, a giant half-dragon with a massive sword and a shattered suit of armor, a battered and rusty construct with a lightning shield and sword of light, and an ugly dwarf appeared in the middle of the tavern, smashing into a couple tables and sending chairs flying in all directions. The old men stared agape as the strange newcomers pulled themselves to their feet, cursing. “Everyone make it?” the elf said, glancing around at the others. “Everyone that matters,” the half-dragon said. “I am intact,” said the construct. They all looked at the dwarf as he pulled himself to his feet stiffly, brushed himself off, then looked up at them. “Well...
