When the four weary travelers came within sight of an old and dilapidated roadhouse, it was cause for considerable excitement. They had been too long on the muddy and unmaintained road east, too many nights without a roof o'er their heads, too uncertain of what laid before them, and what came behind.
The Bellowing Bear, the worn and once colorful sign read, and not one of those companions hesitated before going inside for a hot meal and the promise of the first restful sleep in more than a fortnight. After they greeted the owner and the few locals present who were talking quietly and drinking in that dim, smoky room full of benches and rough-hewn tables, the quartet got down to the business of eating a hot potato stew, one flavored with onions and a bit of chicken. It was delicious, and brought to them by the cook, a hunched man with a squint, a scarred bald head and an unwillingness or inability to speak.
"And where are you all goin'," the spindly proprietor Ogden asks, while at the same time hefting earthenware pitchers of both ale and what was surely a terrible wine. "An' more importantly, what're ye drinkin'?"
