A good thing that Malkaer chose to accompany Kle'anther. As they started off, there was a ruckus just barely behind them. An Orc raised his voice, yelling out something incomprehensible but obviously not a friendly expression. Next came the sound of a metal tankard smashing across the Orc's cheekbone. The tankard was almost flattened by the blow but the face of the victim showed no sign of injury. The Orc who was struck picked up a chair and smashed it over the head of the Orc who attacked him. Then both Orcs stared at each other for a moment and began to laugh. At this point, Kle'anther quickened his pace, zigging and zagging to avoid Orcs who were in the way.

Once at the bar, the Esh'lahier called out, "Two brews!" and slapped some coins on the bar. A Goblin behind the bar scurried over with two tankards, each holding more than a liter of the potent brew. The Barkeep then scooped up the coins and hurried over to the next customer.

Quickly the Thane was lead over to a nearby vacant table. The table was very messy as were the others. Once they were seated, Kle'anther raised his tankard and toasted, "May your next fight not be your last fight!" He then took a long drink.
