>>6101066Compared to the yawning wilderness outside, The Far Throw Inn feels like a whole other planet! After a few decent attempts at yanking open what must be the heaviest door in Zoral, you let Volka take the wheel and try not to look too annoyed when she gets it open in one shove.
Like a chihuahua in front of a fire hose, you’re LAUNCHED backwards by a gale-force combination of body heat and noise that sends you tumbling into Volka’s leg!
“Careful, Rook,” She warns in a good natured voice as she picks you up and places you back on your feet, “Getting trampled in an Inn is the leading cause of death in the Darklands, y’know!”
What’s the second one?
“<span class="mu-r">SHADOW ASSASSINS</span>,” she replies with nary a beat, “But don’t go waving that name around.”
Riiiight, you nod, you’ll try to be caref<span class="mu-s">OW!</span>
“Watch it, freak!”
Sticking to Volka’s side like a child in a supermarket, you manage through some divine providence to find a free bench… placing you in a seat like a purse, Volka sits next to you and raps her knuckles against the wood!
“Boy are <span class="mu-i">YOU</span> in for a treat!” She remarks as you hear her rummaging around in one of her side pouches, “The first human to try <span class="mu-b">RUUPPAA!</span>! Lucky you!”
What’s that supposed to be? Some kind of drink?
“Ambrosia of the <span class="mu-i">GODS</span>, Rook. I won’t spoil the surprise!”
Before you can dig deeper, you hear a pair of small feet scamper over to your seat!
“Welcome to The Far Throw, hon! What’s yer’ poison?”
“HAH! No poison for me, thanks!” Volka replies with a booming laugh that definitely gets the attention of a few other patrons, “Me and my friend here could go for some Ruuppa… and maybe a bite to go with it!”
“Oh! My apologies miss, didn’t notice ya!” Apologizes the waitress with a sheepish look in her eyes!
Actually, you begin, you’re a guy-
“Two Ruuppaas, then? As for the food, well, we’ve got a <span class="mu-s">FRY,</span> a <span class="mu-s">SIMMER</span>, and a <span class="mu-s">ROAST</span>--all served with side shrooms an’ tuber jam.”
Well, you begin, what’s uh… what’s your recommendation, Volk?
“Food is GOOD!”
Great…
Whatcha order?
