Prologue: Allow Me To Entertain

A jester, a ghost, a horse and a dragon slayer walk into an inn.

The innkeeper says that they look like an odd crowd and asks what each of them wants.

The jester says he wants to kill someone.

The innkeeper laughs and says that he can't.

The ghost says he wants someone worthy to use his blade against.

The innkeeper scowls and says that he can't.

The horse says he wants to trample the inn into Oblivion.

The innkeeper laughs and says that he can't.

The dragon slayer says that she wants less homicidal company.

The innkeeper smirks and offers her "more intimate company".

The jester slits the innkeeper's throat.

The ghost stabs a famous mercenary who comes to his aid.

The horse mashes his hooves in fury at everyone else in the inn.

The dragon slayer downs a mug of mead and sighs.

"I never get what I want."
