The Reann Hotel Bar: The Bartender's wisdom, right from the bottom of an ale keg

Howdy, stranger, again in town ?

There were many interesting people in town, the last few days. Maybe you know some of them, although I bet, you don't even want to met some of them (Company excepted, of course).

Here are some questions, that reached me through the years, and the appropriate (or inappropriate) answers:

Question Answer

Whe barkeep', how do you light a torch in the most spectacular way? Why, of course, ask that Great Red over there, I'm sure he will be happy to help [I'm sure, he'll help himself to a free meal, if you ask me...]

Why are dwarves so short ? When a Dwarf meets someone like you and he were of your size, he'd be tempted to slap you on the head. That wouldn't hurt, obviously.
Since there are many such as you, they prefer to remain a bit shorter, for when they hit now, it does hurt.

Duncan: (20th October 1997)
Uh, can you please tell me some information regarding Unicorns? ing Yes, sure I can. I'm always delighted to see someone from The Rose Gem Inn over here to have a drink.
One fine ale on the house coming right up, together with a little tale / knowledge / rule concerning these magnificent beasts.

Gaxis, High Dark Overlord: (23th October 1997)
If a character is half-tarrasque, does it need to do the slumber of the tarrasque, or does it only sleep for half time? One Pan-galactic Armormauler for you, Sir ( ;-) You know, the drink that burns through plate armor, if you're not fas enough). Please, take a look at this scroll to answer your question, Sir.
And thank you for not smashing my little bar to pieces.

Kylira of Fontrevault: (24th October 1997) Such matters, dear Kylira, traveller from far-away countries, are best discussed in a more private atmosphere. Please join me for further discussion im my private room, , whenever convenient.

To the true Kylira In front of you, there's annother doorway, leading slightly downward.
Will you proceed or turn back?
