Made from wood and stone, the tavern smells of food and ale. A flame is burning in the fireplace and candles light up tables throughout the room.

I am a merchant traveling with a group of mercenaries and other merchants for protection. We are traveling to the East to trade spices. I am very nervous about being ambushed by bandits.
Good evening, officer. This town got any trouble with bandits?  Where's there is bad people, police get paid. Very true, but there are all types of bad people interested in different crimes and different things.  I can say you're right. But I can't explain how right, cause' that's classified. I respect that. Well, can ya tell me if you get travelers often or merchants like myself? Usually the people that travel come and go. But every once and a while I see some merchants that don't come just to buy or sell. Now, what do you mean that they don't come just to buy or sell... As a law enforcer I see alot of crime. And I would say about 20% of the thiefs are merchants steeling to go sell in the next town. Well, I ain't ever heard of that one before. My group of traveling merchants travel in groups to protect against thieves like that. We travel a long ways to provide for ourselves and our family. It is a shame how far people will go. Say officer, do you like spices? No, I don't like spices. I love them! Oh boy, good taste you have indeed. What would happen to be your favorite? Ever tried any spices that came from a long ways away? Sichuan pepper, from China. Man, that stuff can make anything taste good.
