The Thirsty Kraken
Lady Mirabelle and her band, consisting of a lute player, a drummer, and a flutist, stand on the small stage at the back of the Thirsty Kraken. The flickering candlelight casts a warm glow on the musicians as they work on tuning their instruments, their skilled fingers plucking and strumming at the strings. Lady Mirabelle, a striking figure with long golden hair and sparkling blue eyes, adjusts the strings on her lute with care. She wears a flowing dress of deep green velvet, embroidered with gold and silver thread that shimmers in the candlelight. Her fingers move nimbly over the strings, producing a soft and melodic tune as she checks each note for accuracy. The drummer, a sturdy dwarf with a bushy beard, taps on his drum with a practiced hand, the sound resonating through the room. The flutist, a slender elf with pointed ears, lifts his instrument to his lips and blows a few experimental notes, testing the sound.
From the corner, Grimgar surveyed the crowd, noticing the drunken patron beginning to bother other customers. He strides over to the man with purpose, his massive frame towering over the patron's slouched figure. "You've had enough for the night," he growls, his voice gruff and commanding. The patron sputters in protest, but Grimgar's grip on his arm is unrelenting. "I said, leave," he repeats, his words leaving no room for argument. With a firm shove, Grimgar escorts the patron towards the door, the sound of his boots echoing throughout the tavern.
