Evening 14th of Adras
"Seem like today is not my lucky day. No prey insight anywhere."

Lotta Medborgar grumpyly walking on the forest trail back to town.

"Better to crash Winged Sow Tavern today and drink my sorrow away. And might as well sell information to some greenhorn while i'm at it. I wonder who will pay for my beers today? Keh heh heh"

Laughing by himself, Lotta keep walking and thinking about the next vict... ehh patron who will generously provide his daily need of booze for the day, already forget about the little trouble earlier.

-----------------------------------
At the tavern.
"Hey Hagar. A beer for me" Lotta yell at the barkeep.

"Keep quiet or i'll kick your sorry dwarf-ass out of here Lotta. This tavern floor is underground and it echo. How many times had i told you that goddang it!"

"Pah. Whatever. I'll have my beers at the usual spot near the balcony"

Sometimes later.
"Hm? There're a group coming in. What do we've here? 1 guy, 2 guys, 3 gu.. 2 guys 1 gals. And a freaking elf to boots. For the love of bloody Adron, what's a knive-ears think she doing here? Order a bottle of spring water and preach about Ushara? Pfft now my beers tasted like piss haizz..."

"Seem like that smaller guy paying the bill. Never seen him before. Maybe i can exchange some information for that tasty looking grilled lamb?
....
"And now a hairless-looking barbarian woman walk into the bar. What's could go wrong i wonder?"
....
"Hah! It seem the little human take fancy to the little elf. That big guy just left and he's already exchange seat. Annnddd that barbarian woman looking annoyed keheheh. Oh drama drama"
....
"Ugh tension is rising. Why can't they just enjoy their drink quietly and leave other in peace for once?"
"Why the hell are you standing up at him? Look at that big guy! He's obviously a thug living on edge. He's gonna carve your face in the wall and draw you a new noses. For what? A bloody scrawny harlot??"
....
"It's seem the wrinkled on Hagar face are increasing. I'm better out of here and get back home to rest. Still need to get ready for the hunt early tomorrow morning anyway."
"Haizz, nothing ever go my way"

Afternoon on the 18th of Adras

"A noblewoman want to organize an event here tonight. I should go to the market to stock up on wine and food ingredience"
....
"Hey Sogg"
"Hu!?... - Mesch Sogg Beermug, whut do you want?"
*Stupid orc. How's he managed to become an alchemist is beyond me* - Hagar think. "10 barrel of wines and 20 bottle of cider. Send it to Winged Sow Tavern, i'll pay you there".
"Okie dokie"

"Morning Hagar. Fancy some cheese today?"
"Need alot actually. Some event happening at my tavern tonight."

"Aye. So watcha need?"
"Mostly cheese, some sausage and meat for cold cut"

Winged Sow Tavern
Late evening
The sound of a broom sweeping on the wooden floor echoed around the quiet tavern.
"Alright. Good enough i guess. The only thing left to do is wash the cups before guest start coming in" Hagar busy moving around prepare for tonight event. "Haizz, maybe i should consider hiring some temporary staff for event like this. Wait...!"

Hagar look at the dwarft sitting on a chair next to the fireplace and call out to him "Hey Cormac!"
With a slurred tone of someone who is drunk all year round, Cormac glance at Hagar "What?"
"You tab has long since overdue you know?"
"Quit yer yapping. I'll pay back soon." said Cormac grumpily.
"And when's that? ...You know what? Forget it. You can pay back all of that if you do something for me today."
Cormac perk up his ears "Shoot!"

"I've an event here tonight. All you've to do is waiting at the stairs and bringing whatever the guest ordered. Do a good job then i'll consider us even. Deal?"
After thinking for a while, Cormac heave a deep sigh "Not much of a choice, do i?"
"No you don't" Hagar grin.
"Fine..."
....
Night fall
The guests has started coming in. Order keep flying. Chaos times.
After a while, things seem to slow down a little. Peoples start to sing and dance.
Listening to the sound of a lute playing upstair, Hagar humming a tune to himself "oh beat the drum slowly, an' play the flute only, as they carry me along... cause i'm a young pirate, an' i surely done wrong..."

A man walk to the bar and ask "Boss. Give me your strongest poison."
Hagar looking at the man. Not too tall, maybe around 175cm, strong, lean body. Simple, clean clothes, wearing a blue hat with a feather on top. *And feeling annoyed it seem...* Hagar think.
"Feel like drunk tonight, good sir?"
"I am"
....
Hours later
"Watch your step sir" Hagar speak after the man when he's slowly walk up the stairs.

"Any more order Cormac?"
"No, party over it seem. Everyone start leaving now."

After washing and wiping all the cups, Hagar finally let out a big sigh "Ughh! My poor back..."
"I really need to consider hiring more staff now..."
