The latch on the door rattles. It rattles again. Then follows the sound of 
something heavy crashing into the door. Still it holds. 

The thing on the other side of the door curses under its breath in a gutteral
language, then calls...

"Humanssssss... Hu-mansssss.. I ssmels ye.  Lets me in....  I no hurt you.
Not paid to hurt you. "

The thing crashes into the door again.

"Let Grog in " the thing wines. "Grog mighty warrior. Pay Grog well and I
serve well. let me work for you....  < SLAM > Open this cursed door!!!"

Peering out the window reveals a greenish brown humanoid wearing a black
breastplate and the remains of chain armour, brandishing a greatsword, leaning
against the door.  He (or it, depending upon your point of view) is bleeding hevily from several wounds.
