Following the oncoming storm, Bert had followed the others back to the Silver Tankard and settled in for the night, hoping to wait out the bad weather. Through the evening and into the next day, the storm had raged and he had sat by listening to those around him with the rumors than abounded from person to person. Stories of the King’s death grew by the hour and it wasn’t long before the average person thought he had been swept up by a dragon and dropped into a pit with the werewolf to fight to the death. It didn’t take much effort to discern the real story though. The King had supposedly died at the hands (or paws) of the werewolf, who had also been killed at some point in the madness. Bert wasn’t sure about the timeline of the events, and something seemed a little fishy about the locations of the King’s body and the werewolf’s, but that was something to ponder another day. As it was, there were other, more pressing matters to concern himself with. One such worry was the storm, which raged on for days without stopping or even slowing, threatening to flood much of the city if not for the water flowing into the rushing river nearby. Besides that, he had the other guests to consider. The barmaid, who he soon learned was named Brandy (appropriate, considering her chosen profession), was very adept at making the group comfortable and was happy to supply them a room, food, and drink to keep them happy while the storm continued. The gentleman that had happened upon them just before the storm was another matter altogether. He was an interesting man, and one that Bert was more than happy to pay attention to as the days passed. There always seemed to be something that he was keeping to himself, something Bert couldn’t quite put his finger on. But as the days passed, it became obvious that while he had his secrets, he wasn’t necessarily a bad man. So when Bert discovered he was leaving, he imparted some wisdom of his own, that would hopefully give him the hand he needed in his travels. That left the three others. The knight, who Bert discovered was named Tristan, his squire, Theo, and a young girl who only went by Red. All of them seemed to be restless in the inn, especially Theo, who seemed to have endless questions and conversation for those who would listen to him. He talked to Bert on a few occasions, and seemed a nice enough lad, and it was with this in mind that Bert gave him some advice as well. It wasn't long after this advice that the squire approached Bert and asked for his assistance in a quest to find the lost princess Bridgette. He had convinced his knight that the stories of a dragon abduction were true and that it was time someone found her before a new king was chosen. And so, having paid for his room, food, and drink, Bert packed his things, put on his cloak, and set off towards the north in search of dragons and the long lost princess.
