The bar is made of oak wood. It is finely varnished, though dulled over time and covered with wet drinks.

man
governor
I am the governor. I am in charge of a large province with many cities within it. I am responsible to the people, but mostly to the king. I take the king's orders and make them reality in my province. I am overweight because my position affords me rich food, but my work is mostly at a desk or in meetings with other officials.
Might as well order me an ale while I am here... I bet your deep pockets could buy everyone in the bar a pint. What's the lawmaker doing in a dingy bar in the middle of nowhere? I'm just getting off duty for the night and decided to stop and have a drink. Save your hostility though. I could go up on your taxes if I wanted to... Most see you as the man sitting pretty while we slave away down here. I don't think you're going to find many here who will value your company, except perhaps your lady friend. I don't believe I've seen her before. I understand your hostility, but I am for the people but above all else, I have a duty to the king. We could have raised taxes three times and I voted against it to help the people. We have enough riches.. You say we have enough riches, but you're speaking of the King's riches, not the wealth of the people. Where is that money going, Governor? Because we're not seeing any of it. Our nurses have depleted their supplies after the flu last month, and we cannot care for our sick. When are we going to see assistance from the King? I see.....M'lady. you hear all this? My lovely assistant will take note of your concerns. She will write down all you have told me tonight. Listen Governor, I apologize for my aggression, but you have to understand that it comes from a place of concern and love for my people and my community. I will speak to your assistant, but I want your word that you will bring my concerns to the King, I will take the matters to the king; you have my word. You are a good man, I can recognize this. I hope your visit with our small town helps you see the value of this community, and all the resources we provide to the King and the main city. You know, without this town there would be a lumber deficit! I agree...the people are indeed valuable. This is why I am for the people, without you we would not have what we have, and I vow to make the king see that from now on. I was wrong about you Governor. I'm an honest man, making an honest living, and I'll be the first to admit when I've made a mistake. I can see you have a good heart... a man like you can really bring change. I look forward to seeing it.
