The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

Gasps

They weren't lying about the beautiful barmaid! I'll have a tankard of ale thanks

Stares at Philomena's chest

No, tales of my beauty are probably the only thing not exaggerated about me.

*Philomena smiles and brings him an ale.*

Please enjoy. Would you like a food menu?

*She frowns at Trybus and looks coldly at the mermaid*.

Two ales. Cold like my heart.

I have eaten.....do you want anything to eat Gala?

Here you go. Two ales, as cold as the Dudrassa sea.

*Philomena smiles and looks warily at the strangers.*

Is there anything else you need?

Trybus continues to leer at the mermaid


Mmmmmmm?

I was wondering if there is anything else I can offer? Tobacco for your pipe, a hot bath or a bed for the night, Holme's tavern has all the essentials for the weary traveller.

We're here on business. You can tell her Trybus. After all the trail seems to end here.

Oh! We're searching for two of our colleagues, they set off to visit this tavern a few weeks ago and have not returned. They were making enquiries about a robbery in Toraz.

Wipes the drool from his mouth with the back of his hand

Oh yes, I met them. I couldn't help much with their investigation I am afraid, although poor Master Tweed came to stay just after the robbery. He said he had been robbed by several men in black robes. Well we haven't seen anyone in black robes around here, and that is what I told them. They left, I think they said they wanted to speak to a suspected arms dealer in Gilgara but I'm afraid I don't know anything more. I hope they are not hurt, there have been some neathlin attacks in the mire recently and they crossed it at night.

Would you like another ale?
