"Welcome to the Rusty Dragon, best place in Sandpoint for adventurers!  Hell, probably the<em>only</em>place in Sandpoint for adventurers!"<br/><br/>"If you're looking for what's going on in town, you can find out on the sign board near the entrance - not much at present except that Sheriff Hemlock has reinstituted goblin hunting again after the first time in... well, quite a few years now.  Our local scholar, Brodert is also looking for some help I think.  By the way, I'm Ameiko, and in case you didn't already figure it out, I own the Rusty Dragon here.  Where you looking for rooms or something?"<br/><br/>Whilst she's talking to you, Theos enters the tavern, something which Ameiko notices.  She gives him a critical eye, but otherwise remains professional.  "Been a while Theos; came back for more treasure hunting, or just to harass the local girls?"<br/><br/>"Now, now, Miss Ameiko, last time was a misunderstanding.  That and I had one too many cups at the time."<br/><br/>"Yes.  Well make sure it doesn't happen again, or I'll have you thrown out this time.  Or maybe I'll just call Marcus Ursion to do me a favour - oh, and don't make that face - he's been in town for nearly a tenday now.  So be on your best behaviour now, you hear."<br/><br/>Theos scowls, but otherwise goes to mingle with the people already present in the bar.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">GM NOTES</div><div class="spoiler_body">You can go ahead an give a general account of what Desire will be doing for roughly the next hour or so before Theos comes around to talk with her.</div></div>
