[h3][center]NPCs[/center][/h3] The bartender heard the templar speak something of allegiances working men to death, and asking if these were the only heroes left. "Aye, lad. These be the only heroes to return. Fret not, most turned tail and scampered off when they caught sight of the demons outside the walls, yet not all that went to fight came back..." Looking off into the distance, the barman grabbed a bottle of ale, cracked it open, and offered it to the templar. "May as well drink up. Never know what day'll be yer last. That harem over thar gets it" nodding towards Louis and his surrounding female teammates. The bar man nods towards the ale still offered to the templar "tell ya what, this one's on me. I also got the reward gold over in the back. It's available in full upon request, but I'm also agreein' to keep hold of it if ya don't need it now. No need to pay bar tabs whilst there's gold in yer pouch in the back. I take tabs out of the pouch if it's not paid up front" the man looks at the templar, obviously worn out from his day. He seemed a little stiff in one of his shoulders, but not too damaged otherwise. He shot a quick, half-hearted smile at the templar and went about his job. A spry old man, short in stature, enters the room wearing cover-alls and rubber boots. His face is beaming as he scans the room, looking from face to face. Seeing some happy, some sad, and some... expressionless? Though not very tall, his voice booms across the tavern, saying "Welcome, one and all, to the Tavern of Heroes! I'm Trevant Burnell, the owner of this establishment, and I also do the upkeep, so if you find problems with the structure, come straight to me. My bar man over there is Finny. He's been my main man for countless years now. And she" pointing to the waitress serving drinks "is my lovely daughter, Lucia. Don't let me catch any of ya's flirting with her," Trevant added with a smile "or you'll regret it." After he finished talking, Trevant walked, with a spring in his step, to the bar and ordered 'the usual' from Finny, all the while humming an Irish-sounding tune.
