you’ve been there once before. It smells heavily
of old, wet wood, ale stains, and peanut. It’s a
very small area and of the four tables that are
there, they are mostly empty, except for one old
man who is sitting there in the process of playing
a game of solitaire with his cards and a man in
his 30s thumbing through a book, who would be the
barkeep if there were more patrons at the moment.
He’s flipping through and glances up and gives you
a look as you enter. “Can I help you? Are you
"looking for drinks? Can I get you anything?”
LIAM: Yeah, I would really love a drink and I sit
down next to him. What do you have? I need
something heavier than a trost. I’ve had enough
trosts to last me a lifetime.
MATT: “We have liquor.”
LIAM: I will take your liquor.
MATT: “I will get some whiskey for you then.
Whiskey, everyone?”
MARISHA: Sure.
SAM: Two please.
LAURA: It’s okay. She’s my daughter. She loves
whiskey. I don’t even remember what voice I was doing.
(laughing)
MATT: Make a deception check.
LAURA: I let her have any whiskey she wants. Oh,
that’s pretty good. 17.
TALIESIN: We’ve been doing a pub crawl.
MATT: He goes and lines up a few small containers,
fills whiskey for all of you. “All right, that
"will be eight silver for the batch.”
LIAM: I have that. I pull out eight silver. Oh
wait, silver, did you say? I do not have eight
silver.
LAURA: It’s okay. I have it.
LIAM: You do?
LAURA: Sure.
(high-pitched voice) I mean, sure.
MATT: He takes the silver and puts it away, slides
the drinks to the rest of you and goes back to his
book and starts thumbing through again.
LIAM: Honestly, it’s been a terrible 24 hours. We
were at the circus last night and I did not know
him well, but old man Brinjay fell.
MATT: He looks up and goes, “Enon, it’s sad to see
him go and many of us were wondering what day it
"was going to be.”
LIAM: Did you know him?
MATT: “He came in here most every day to drink.
He’s a lonely man.”
LIAM: It was a terrible way to go. I’m sorry.
MATT: “Doesn’t bother me one way or the other.
Just sad to lose a patron.”
LAURA: Do you know who was talking to him the day
of the carnival?
MATT: “I don’t recall. Sometimes he would tell
stories to whoever was willing to listen and not
"most were willing to listen.”
LAURA: Was he here that day?
MATT: “Yesterday?”
