Meshtak finally returns to the pub, after having gotten his various wounds
patched up at a nearby temple. He is bandaged up, but seems all right. "Well,
that was an adventure!" he says. He says hello to Kron, Karl and Teondir,
and then goes to Rowan Littlefair and buys lodging with his single gold coin.
He returns to the table with Kron, Karl and Teondir. "I guess the others
aren't back yet, huh? Well, anyhow, I'm glad your boy is fine, Karl. I kinda
feel for the kid. I mean, in a town like this, it's hard NOT to want to be
an adventurer - we got so much of the successful kind here. Oh, well, hopefully
after that fiasco his lust for adventure'll be a little tempered down from
now on..." Meshtak thanks Serene as she brings him a brewski. "Yeah, Dougl
reminds me a lot of myself when I was his age. Always lookin for adventure,
dreamin of fighting evil wizards and stuff like that. Yeah, now I fight because
its the only way I have to get money. Yeah, maybe you should tell him that,
Karl. It's an old phrase I heard when I worked for the Raxer Legions. 'He may
be the best fighter you've ever seen, but that's all he'll be - a fighter.'"
Meshtak takes a swig.
