[There's a heavy sigh before he speaks; the first speaker, Anders, might be having some serious regrets.]

We've a new Warden, or rather an old Warden returned to the group, and I've a warning to issue: if you're challenged to a drinking contest with a particularly smelly dwarf, do not take it. The Wardens are not responsible for what happens if you decide to ignore this advice. Honestly, your best bet is to steer clear altoge--what are you drinking now?

[There's some bottles clinking together followed by a loud belch before Oghren speaks up.]

You need some better alcohol. This tastes worst than actual piss. Funny color to it too.

That's not... Maker's breath, Oghren, that's not for gulping down! Put the remnants of the potions down and stop messing with them! If you puke or you die, you better do it outside this tent. I'm not responsible for that either.

[There's more clinking as Anders gathers up what remnants he can.]

What are you going on about? That wasn't ale? [There's a pause.] My ancestors fat tits, what was that, sparkle fingers?

Who would keep ale in the healing tents? That was twenty doses of emetic. Now step outside, because you are not going to get sick in here.

[There's now a grumble and some rustling.] Never heard of keeping something good around for pain. Got to have those potions instead. Can't just have a good ale or something stronger. Got to be... [The sound trails off as he heads outside.]

[There's another heavy sigh. Anders sounds like he's already exhausted when he continues.]

Don't challenge him. Just don't. And if anyone listening cares to bring additional ghoul's beard to the healing tents, I'm in need of it.

You know you don't get to start off saying things like that then not telling the story, right?

[There's a little laugh at that.]

It wasn't that interesting. I was starving and I tried to rob a guy. It was an Inquisition scout and they told me a little about the Inquisition as he handed me food. He said it had changed his life, fighting for the Herald.

I ended up checking it out, you know? I had nothing to lose.

[wardeneructate]

Sounds something like an idiot but a good one.

[He really is complimenting the guy okay. Seriously.]

Well you're an interesting one. So guess I have to say that I'm glad you got fed and turned this way. Means I got to meet you.

[Then he grumbles.]

But don't go spreading around I say soft stuff like that all the time. Got a sodding reputation to keep.

[issala]

[He snorts at that, trying to hold back a laugh.]

Well, you sound like a great guy. I promise I'll keep your secret.

[wardeneructate]

That's more like it. You're a keeper, kid.
