How's your wife holding up? She's well I hope? Couldn't stand her being harmed in any way, really". Has anyone read Elfshadow by Elaine Cunningham? Craulnober sat in that tavern, drinking an awfully expensive elven wine. He tells her that he'll pay. When she's gone, he looks at the barkeep, takes the whole bottle of the stuff, and calmly walks out of the tavern. The guy sees a bottle of wine worth more than he'll make in the next week (and there was a big festival in waterdeep, so he'll make steep profits) go out the door, but he doesn't say anything. Because he knows that it would be his undoing. Simple as that. The half-orc might attack him and give him a vicious beating, but surely others in the tavern would help (especially because everyone hates half-orcs, what is reflected neatly in that -2 CHA) and the pigsnout would get it. But The Serpent would probably just kill him with one stroke, and noone would interfere (or he would just wait until the landlord is stupid enough to enter a dark alley alone....)</blockquote>
