The cheerful innkeeper, noticing the two silver coins gleaming in Almarren's hands, nodded happily.
- I always have a room for such esteemed guests. Anything you desire. And wouldn't you like to have a bite to eat after your journey? Perhaps you'd like to hear the latest news? Or maybe you could tell me how the siege of Krag-Tah ended? I can see you've experienced a lot.
- I'd be happy to tell you. The city was taken. But it would have been better if they hadn't. Now one of the demon lords has been released. And hordes of demons are now spreading throughout the area. They will soon arrive here too. So you better prepare yourselves.
The innkeeper's face suddenly turned pale, and his smile disappeared. Almarren, pleased with the effect he had produced, placed the coins on the table and took the key from the innkeeper's trembling hands.
- The gentleman has an excellent sense of humor. Make yourselves comfortable. Make yourselves comfortable... rest after your journey. In the evening, many excellent dishes will be ready.
The innkeeper leaned conspiratorially towards you and whispered.
- Mato himself, a cook from the capital, will be preparing the festive dinner. ;)
