Re: The Funeral of a Friend....
Furnok finds the women curious, so he plays along for now. He shuffles the cards and starts dealing them out. "Three-Dragon Ante is the name of the game, as for what's been happening around here, Ranger Lord passed away, burial for him is next week on the eleventh. The Church of St. Cuthbert is keeping his body preserved until the funeral. Its suppose to happen here in Hommlet, well the Cemetery on the outskirts of town, over near the Tower. Rufus and Burne are suppose to be there too. They were friends with the Ranger. Oh, his name was Elkiar Rusman, pretty well known Ranger Lord in the area, he was the leader of the Rangers of the Gnarley Forest." Furnok points to the two Ranger's sitting over at the far table (P25, Q25.) and then to another Ranger sitting at (T25.) "So, the village is gonna get busy over the next few days. Couple other folks are here for the funeral also, some of these people though are just here drinking free booze." He motions over to the man sitting with one of the Rangers. (U24.) "As for me, I'm just taking in the sights, making a few coins gambling, and have a few drinks, I lost to a Dwarf earlier." He looks around and points at Krokas (T24.) "It still has me a little broken up inside. I should have won!." he says. "But the Dwarf got his, ended up getting in a fist fight with that Half-Orc over there." (P21.) "And ate the ground when he got knocked out, it was pretty funny." He says with a laugh. "Ostler and his family, the ones that own and run this place have been great, offering free ale and other drinks to anyone here tonight, You can't beat that." he adds.
