Jaren entered the bar warily. He was dressed like a peasant to avoid being noticed but he lacked the grubbiness of most peasants. He had been sent here by the king to track down a bounty hunter that had broken into the king's chambers and threatened Colonel Strum.
Seeing the barman, he made his way over to him. He knew that in these turbulent times, the barman's loyalty would likely belong to several factions, but he was a good man anyway, recently a widower.
"Hello, Sir Jaren. How's the performance going?" Sam always referred to his farce of a fool 'the performance'.
"Fine. A bounty hunter thought I he would try and manipulate me through agic a week ago. I believe I saw him in the dungeons recently," Jaren replied.
"So what is your business?"
"Need information. A bounty hunter sliopped into the kings personel chambers a while back and escaped. Apparently she had a job for the king. I think she was sent by the Duke of Northumbia."
"And what would you like done?"
"I know these bounty hunter types, and I know that you know who I'm talking about. Tell her that if I can hand the informer over to her, would she consider taking on jobs for the king." Jaren slipped a few silvers over the counter.
"I'll rephrase it to your codename, Sir. This one has had it with the king."
"Ok, then do that. Say its a proposel from Maverick."
Jaren heard something that sounded awfully like a scream. It was distorted by the general hubbub of the inn. Keeping his hand to the hilt of the long knife concealed under his worn cloak, he decided to investigate.
