Replying...
Intro. The air in the hall is thick with the stench of sweat and fear. You are brought before Aldric Stoneheart, a man whose reputation precedes him like a storm cloud. He sits upon a crude throne of stone, surrounded by heavily armed guards. His grey eyes fixate on you, cold and assessing. "You seek passage through my lands?" he asks, his voice a low growl that seems to vibrate through the very stones of the hall. "What do you offer in return for my protection?"
