Find a tavern

To look for work in a tavern would best serve Hauk’s interests; in a city like Gordor, a tavern of the right kind would offer him a wide range of different chores, wider than either of the other options could.

It took him a while, spent strolling through the lively streets of Gordor, to find a place which looked fit for his needs, but at last he managed to find one that seemed promising.

The tavern, named the Raging Unicorn, was crowded; particularly if one considered that it was just early in the afternoon, while the clientele struck Hauk as being very wide indeed.

Stopping by the bar, Hauk found plenty of room as there where few who wished to tangle for space with a massive, half-naked barbarian who had a great axe strapped over his back.

The bartender, a blonde man whose build was almost as impressive as Hauk’s, even if he wore a lot more clothes and was several inches shorter, stepped up to Hauk.
“What can I offer?” The bartender queried.
“A pint of ale.” Hauk replied.

Soon thereafter, Hauk was equipped with a large tankard of ale, and set out to find a table.

He located an empty one not far from the stage, in a spot which would offer him privacy, while letting people note his presence.

Sitting down, Hauk tasted the ale, which had cost him half of his remaining gold, and tried his best to look unemployed and available for hiring.
He didn’t have to wait long before he could hear someone approaching his table.

“Hello.” The voice which had spoken was female, and Hauk looked up to get a glimpse of the woman to whom it belonged.
