A tall man enters the Fluffy Sheep tavern and looks around. The bar is filled with only a scarce amount of customers, four to be exact. The man sits down and orders a brandy. As he sips on his drink he lifts of his hat and wipes his long black hair out of his eyes. He surveys the others. They consist of an elf, a female human, and two male men. As the drinking gets more heavier he slips away to the ladder and down to the basement below. He looks around a stops when he sees a wall. He runs his fingers along the crack of it, and slowly digs his hands in. He then pries it open and a small room is revealed. Almost bare, it contains: A chair, a table, a gemcutter, and a pile of hay for a bed. On the table lay two items. He closes the door and approaches the table. "Just as I left it." He says. An ornate sword and dagger lay on the wooden table.
He runs his fingers across the blade of the sword. The blade is very dull; so he begins to sharpen it with the gemcutter. As he does this he hears weak voices outside. One men says "Wait! I think I hear something. It sounds like a blade....being sharpened." With this comment the man stops sharpening the blade and begins to get up. He carefully sets the blade on the table, but inturn knocks over the dagger. The hilt of the dagger clanks with the rock ground. He stands there silently and motionless. After a few minutes he picks up the dagger and sets it on the table, then crawls into his bed and begins to sleep.
