Re: The Boar\'s Head Pub
After a few hours sleep, interwoven with Elf meditation (you know Elves don't sleep, just meditate on Nature), I went down to the Pub.
Though it was sun rising, and most of the Pub's hands were busy at cleaning, the windows were fully oppened, and the morning air was fresh and invigorating.
The Elven Lord was pissed drunk, like the Dwarf in front of him. I wondered what the business was to have them sit at a table for so long.
I got out and the morning dawned with the singing of birds. I rushed to the wood hill nearby, to relax, but Jonesy was waiting fo me there.
"Hello, Vamp."
"Don't call me that, Jonesy."
"Don't call me Jonesy, then." It said, feigning offense taken.
"Should I call you by your name, then?"
"No, no, no. Sorry, VampiricDread."
"What is it then?"
"The elf in the Boar's Head... He's been talking..."
"Come on. I hate riddles in the morning, you know that!"
"Very well, then. Ask your former companions. He told them of the Gems of EverLasting, and he is setting up a party on prizes that are not his." With this, Jonesy went away, as fast as a Wood Sprite could.
I went back to the Boar's Head Inn. It was deserted, but I was given the same table.
"I think your friends went to sleep", a maid said.
"I'll wait, if you don't mind. Bring me some tea, fresh bread, butter and cheese, please".
I was puzzled! Why would an Elven Lord, in fact why would any elf mention the Gems of EverLasting? I saw no point in brooding over it, so I took my meal, went to the stables and practiced my morning rituals and body tune-ups, before returning.
It took some hours waiting before they showed up...

I wish I had more time to adventure...
