>>6165395“This ain’t usual, I’ll tell ya’ that…” Muses Volka as she leads you back into the booze-scented burg that is The Drunken Mile! “Most folk are home or in a Tavern by now… guess that Comet’s really got people spooked…”
Skirting the edge of what feels like a mosh pit, you bite your lip when you realize they’re clamoring over some kind of food stall… guess they’re stocking up?
“Hoarding, more like.” Muses TT as she munches on something she <span class="mu-i">definitely</span> didn’t grab from her backpack, “Ain’t gonna get any better with the city being sealed off…”
She ain’t wrong–Volka’s usual entrance to <span class="mu-b">THE BATTLE’S END</span> is thwarted by a crowd ambling about the entrance! Letting the Skog take the lead, you and your fellow tiny folk trail after Volka like ducklings as she squeezes through!
The pub was warm before, but now it’s <span class="mu-i">SWELTERING!</span> Bodies of all shapes and sizes block your path to the bar, and even with the hole in the ceiling Ma mentioned earlier, the establishment feels more like a Gym Locker Room than a public house!
“P-P-Permission to climb on the Grand Marshall’s b-back!?” Stammers Vilah as she tries her best to usher her sister through the sea of sots!
“Not a bad idea!” TT remarks as she hops onto yours! “If one more person steps on my tail I swear…”
Over the din you hear a familiar gruff, but welcome voice: its owner slinging drinks like a madwoman behind a bar crowded with patrons! Whatever happened to her <span class="mu-i">closing!?</span>
“How’s them skewers comin’, kid?”
“Jus’ about done, miss!”
Following the reedy voice leads your gaze to a pair of familiar orange fish-like eyes… ones you last saw trying to mug you in an alley! <span class="mu-b">Alton?</span>
“Let’s head to the back!” Commands Volka as she leads the way through the crowd with renewed duty in her voice! “We can coordinate Alton’s rescue from the table!”
