<span style="color: royalblue">"I shall leave you to Aspen's skilled hands, milady."</span>Tyreus then walked into the center of the tavern. He turned to the onlookers, those who were already in the tavern before this little group had arrived.<br/><br/><span style="color: royalblue">"I know many of you have heard the rumors spreading across the land, so I will offer each of you twenty copper pieces if you would kindly leave this building for a short while. That way we can discuss our plans in peace, and not disturb you with our talk. Once we leave, you may of course come back in. I am just thinking about not scaring you by discussing the...source of the rumors."</span><br/><br/>At the sound of free money just for not being around to hear talk of the Fog, everyone except the bartender and maids came up to Tyreus, then left. Luckily Tyreus had ensured he brought a decent amount of money, never knowing when supplies or lodging would be needed. After the building was mostly emptied, Tyreus shut the door. He finally got his ale and steak, so Tyreus sat back at the table where he left his sword and began hungrily eating.<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: royalblue">I probably should watch how I eat...it's not polite to allow my beastlike hunger to take control...</span></span>Sadly..as it had been three days, Tyreus was incredibly hungry, and so he finished the steak quite rapidly, even eating the bone.<br/><br/><span style="color: royalblue">"Well, we might as well officially get to know each other. As I said before, my name is Tyreus. I am...in a sense...a paladin, as I can heal minor wounds, but am more skilled with a blade. I have experience at a forge, as I spent many years learning the craft, and can tell if a weapon is reliable just by giving it a quick look over. This sword? I forged it myself, and it is quite different from what has ever been seen, but I won't spoil the surprise yet. And, as I am aware has been noticed, I am not human. Not entirely at least. I am a rare "breed", a half dragon, as our friend with the staff learned the hard way.."</span>
