Stories at the inn...The innkeeper brings out some cold mutton and bread with some warm ale. The ale is tasty (one of the better brews you've had in this part of the realm), the mutton greasy but goes well with the crusty, almost stale, bread.
Grimes' queries seem to attract attention from others, who also ask questions. One man asks if the road towards
Skull Mountain is safe. Another asks if you've seen his kid (the description vaguely matches one of the kids, Bo, that you had captured). A dwarf asks if there is any gold in that mountain. A half-elf asks if you've slaughtered everyone there. The barmaid, a comely half-orc (for a half-orc) named Nuruka, prods you on and is in obvious awe at your heroism. The rest mainly just listen because this is the closest thing to entertainment they have.
The night grows long but Nuruka will keep the ale coming as long as you like.
