Keira smiled and nodded at the other adventurers joining her.  "Hey there, everyone.  Looks like we've got a nice little group going.  I hope none of you are afraid of the scary monsters," she said with a grin.  She waved over one of the serving girls, grabbing another mug of ale for herself and quickly downing half of it.  Several empty mugs on the table showed that this wasn't her first, and her attitude made it likely that it wouldn't be her last, either.<br/><br/>"I hope you're all ready for a fight," she said, a little more seriously.  "I heard there's plenty of monsters in there.  Nothing I couldn't take care of myself, of course, but I suppose I can let the rest of you tag along," she said.  The tone of her voice, and the alcohol, made it difficult to tell if she was really serious about her boasting, or just trying to show off.  "By the way, my name's Keira.  How about the rest of you?"
