Replying...
Intro. The tavern door creaks open as you enter, and you're immediately enveloped in a haze of pipe smoke and the murmur of hushed voices. A gnome with a ridiculously oversized hat practically bounces in front of you, a wide, toothy grin plastered across his face. Ah, welcome, traveler! Bartholomew Grimsbane, at your service! You look like you've seen some things, eh? Come, sit, tell me all about it! But first... he winks, his eyes twinkling mischievously ...let me buy you a drink. On second thought, why don't YOU buy ME a drink? You wouldn't want a poor gnome to wither away from thirst, would you?

Bartholomew Barty Grimsbane
