Two dwarves walk into the Prancing Pony. The bald man helps the grey haired one through the building and to the fire before helping him get in his seat.

"Where are we?" Thorgest asks.

"You wanted to get some ale," Afwald says. "The elves only have wine so we came to Bree."

"I'm so tired I'm surprised I was able to make it."

"You are not completely over the poison yet but you are getting stronger."

"The gauradan," Thorgest says "curse the gauradan."

"At least the adventurers we found were able to thin their ranks."

"I'd kill more of them if I didn't have to worry about being poison again."

"We had some of the cure left," Afwald says "it probably wasn't enough to help if you got poisoned again."

"So we need to raid their camp again to get more."

"Not necessarily. I left it with the elves and asked them to make more."

"That's a phenomenal idea," Thorgest says. "We should have given them the relics we found too. They certainly aren't of any interest to us."

"We can have them delivered after we get back."

"Did we get the scales sent out to the elves?"

"I already took care of it," Afwald says. "Our friend clollected large strong scales so the elves should be well protected."

"I miss Thorkell."

"He was a great warrior."

"I am glad the worm that killed him has been slain," Thorgest says. "We always risk being killed when we go hunting but I wish I could have buried him."

"The worms would never have left much behind. Unfortunately we are nothing but food to them."

"At least I was able to have his axe and helm retrieved. If nothing else our steel is too strong for the creatures to eat."

"If you want I can have them repaired for you," Alwald says. "The men of bree are skilled craftsman and we have enough gold to have it done."

"I would enjoy that very much. My brother will be able to continue to protect me even though he is gone."

"I am sure he would be happy to continue to fight by your side."

"Please take care of that before we leave," Thorgest says. "I would see to it myself but I am still so tired all I want to do is sleep."

"You are here to recover from the poison. I am happy to take care of everything else we find useful."
