"Let us all introduce ourselves. Let me start first." The man's voice boomed across the pub, overpowering every other sound. "Listen well. Where I come from, they call me Northern Wolf. I am the leader of the Silverpond mercenary group. Today is a great day for me, so I wish to toast to these happy news. Let us drink all night. HOORAH!"
The entire pub erupted into a roar, mugs slamming against tables. I joined in as well, settling myself in the middle of them all around the large wooden table. A man in thick armor handed me a drink. I had not tasted alcohol in a long time, at least not in this world. I lifted the mug and took a deep sip of the local ale. The warmth slid smoothly down my throat, settling pleasantly in my chest.
Good stuff, I thought. The taste pulled a small smile onto my face.
