The Running Cauldron

* A Man with a tall brown hat wakes up from the pint of beer he have been sleeping with. He seams very annoyed by the screaming and closes the door, before he sits down next to the -Niels Forbonte-

"So what is it this time doc? Money problems?"

* Tobias cleans his spot at the bar, with the sleeve of this dirty old coat. He looks around and then grabs a flask of what go's for the 'good stuff', behind the bar quickly filling his cup*

"Cheers."

* He takes a sip and smiles*

*Tobias anwser Niels*

"Not paticulary, book and reading is more the wives work or Thorkild's"

*Takes a sip of the cup*

"Ohh... Ohh poor Stoker. That man should not gamble so much."

*He smiles*

*Tobias drinks and askes doc*

"... So what have you been up to lately? Nothing worse than unusually I hope."

*Lifts the his cup in a gesture to Niels*

*already drinking from the the bottle again*

"Hiding, Noooo. If you must know then I am here on some short business. A section of the mine collapsed and I am here to make sure the get a proper burial. All the poor souls, none to take care of them.... By the way you should not know a somebody in need of some new boots? Have some extra's I need to rid of, only slightly used."

*He smiles, wrinkles a little on his nose at the meat Niels ordered, apparently it did not loot properly cooked, and asks the bar maid for a bowl of soup.*

"Lockmann... it rings a bell somewhere. Wait was he not that Senator who was kill, staged in the back by his students"

*He lowers his voice.*

"It was not you was it? I know you where not his student but you know people talk. And you do have this thing with knifes and cutting in people"

"No no off cause not... You seam a little more stressed than normally. Sure you don't want a sip?"

*Tobias holds out the flask*

"It do wonders for the nerves."

"Water!"

*Grabs the flask back from Niels*

"I don't put water in my drink"

*Takes a big sip, and mumbles*

"Water... This isn't water."

*After a lot of thinking, Tobias smells the the flask*

"Well now that you do mention it... The wife might have put something extra in, just to add to the taste"

*He mildly shakes his head, like he is suddenly a little confused*

"Did I ever tell you about that time, when I singel-handelly toke care of a group og Grosse Heer mercenary's???"

From the back of the a loud roar followed bye a yell, made it's way though the inn. shortly there after a young man with allot off bruises, and his hand holding his bloody nose, went right pass Tobias and Niels.

From the back a large man made his presents known.

"That bloody idiot, he mumbled"

He went over behind the bar counter, and pored himself a good and steady shoot of Whiskey, and down it in one go.

"so bye the things I hold dear, What do you want now...Money, or another favor"
