Wake up, poor sot of a bard!

//Halie gently shakes Nethos awake after one of his typical evenings has wound down.

Good Bard, what can you tell me of...

oh for the love of...

//snaps fingers

awake now are we? Good. Uh, where was I?
(mutters under her breath)Story of lost books, led to story of lost gems, led to story of the fish thing, led to story of Mad Mary and how she kilt off her husband, led to story of Misha and HER husband's sock problem, led to story of lost socks ending up in a strange void at the center of the world...
oh! Yes...

Bard, what can you tell me of the "lost mine" ..or maybe it's a "haunted mine" or the "Place We Do Not Speak of Under the Sleeping Dragon Inn". (one can hear the capitals in her voice, and Halie makes small "quote" gestures- which causes Gloigan to roll his eyes, emphatically)

Surely there is a tale, but I haven't found it written anywhere.

OOC: Nethos isn't a bard. He's the former innkeeper and Talissa's father.

//I know he's not a bard, and HALIE knows he isn't really a bard, but flattery never hurts, and aren't innkeepers somewhat of a bard by their very natures anyhow? (as in the bartender/therapist)
