Nihil rolled over in his bed, and ran a hand over his face as his eyes slowly opened from a deep sleep. A moment of panic washed over him before it faded, as memory took over and he could place where he was at. The Spartan inn room he had secured lay dark around him, though it was not exactly quiet. His eyes adjusted to the dark while his keen ears honed in on the noise that came from the foot of his bed. His squire, Rezgar, snored loudly bundled up on the floor in a bedroll. Nihil pushed himself up from the bed and leaned over the side to glance down at the young orc and let out a sigh. He felt a mixture of anger, and an ache of disappointment, one that largely stemmed from his blue balls, as the very recent memory of a wet naked troll woman flashed through his mind. Rezgar continued to snore, unaware of the Blood Knight that looked him over, and rolled over to lay on his side.
Nihil kicked his legs over the edge of the bed, and turned to sit up. He pushed the blankets away, and felt the small prickle of gooseflesh as it raced up his bare torso from the slight chill of the room. He stretched a little with a yawn and rolled his shoulders back with loud cracks as his joints popped. He moved with a purpose, and grabbed up his shirt and slid into his boots. His stomach growled as he stood and unlatched his door, and left the room in search of something for breakfast.
As he walked down the steps, the scent of cooking meat and baking pastries filled his nostrils. Another grumble of his stomach urged him on, as his ears became aware of a large number of patrons up very early at the inn. Nihil had to blink for a moment to make sure that his eyes were not deceived at the gathered mass of people. Tauren, Orcs, Ogre’s, Trolls, Blood Elves, Forsaken, every race that comprised the horde was represented at least three fold from wall to wall. The inn was busy, very busy. Barmaids went from table to bar, and back again with loads of food and drink for their hungry customers. He cleared his throat, and made his way through the crowd towards the bar..
“Barkeep?” Nihil said, looking towards a grizzled older orc filling a tankard with a dark stout.
The old orc was gray about the head and beard. His skin a mottled green color that had a dull almost wax like pallor to it. He looked up towards Nihil and nodded, “What can I do for you, Paladin?” A pair of rings jutted out from piercings that were bored through his tusks and shook when he spoke.
“I’d like to get a bite to eat for myself, and my lazy squire. Nothing special, just some of those meat pies I smell cooking in the kitchen.” Nihil fetched a handful of silver coins and laid them down onto the bar top.
“We should have some ready in a few minutes, is that all?” The barkeep gestured to the crowd, “I’ve got one hell of a bunch of customers thanks to Brewfest.”
“Yes, that’s all,” Nihil nodded to the barkeep, and gave a look over the patrons of the inn. “Tell me, why are they up and around so early?”
