in a interesting land,far away, there exists a tavern nestled between two mountains and 5 hills called "lonely mitch's tavern" where weary and tired adventurers and seekers of glory rest.

among the adventurers and seekers of glory, there appear other types of people too. there appear merchants,mercenaries,and criminals even though criminals are not allowed at the esteemed establishment.

the day is 17th, of springstart month, 11pm, in the tavern there are total of 12 adventurers, and a couple other people too.

among the 12 adventurers are the 3 dwarves, the 4 humans, 4 elves, and 1 animal kin.

one of the dwarves, bob suggarsson, wearing blue clothing underneath chainmail,with a warhammer and shield on his back, blue pants and brown boots,drinks his beer,then says to the bartender.

"why is this bar called lonely mitch's tavern? as far as i am sure i know your name is not mitch and you are not lonely!" bob suggarsson puts down his beer as he aggressively exclaims his knowledge of the bar.

johnny sugarhill, a short man, and the keeper of the tavern,wearing dark clothing with leather boots,johnny has a few patches of grey hair, and is slightly fat in the face, moves his head around with closed eyes, chuckling and smiling,johnny opens his eyes and starts cleaning one of the glass cups then says to bob "well, you see, the story started out 12 years ago, when i went to the city of ephemeria, i went to the dwarf craftsman,and i started speaking to him about the design of the sign and the name of the bar but there was way too many noise in the market! he barely could hear me, and i had to constantly aggressively yell at him so he can hear something that i say!, he managed to hear properly about the design of the sign"

the design of the sign was two beer glasses hitting each other.

"but he did not hear the name correctly! for when i returned a short while later, he put the words on the sign "the lonely mitch's tavern" instead of "the lonely and the rich tavern"!"

johnny put down the glass cup down, angrily, with a sour look on his face, johnny continued speaking, but in a more frustrated tone.

" i wanted the bar to be named the lonely and the rich because i wanted the lonely outskirts of the society and the rich people to both gather at this bar and sing songs, drink quality drinks,eat nice food, and speak to each other! i was too financially poor at the time to change the name of the sign, and since i paid with a decent portion of gold coins in advance, the sign had to go in front of the tavern, by the time i got financially succesful, the need for the name rewrite for the tavern got too late! because many people had already known this tavern as the lonely mitch's tavern, the rewriting of the sign would make a sour financial decision!"

johhny put both of his hands on the bar table, looking down, remembering those years ago when he was much younger.

bob suggarrson suddenly spoke up, a bit loudly before and asked.

"so what is your life story? i mean, when were you born? how was your life? was your life hard? what feeling made you make this tavern?" bob suggarrson, bombarded johhny with questions, the more words he spoke the more he felt frantic.

johhny was a bit taken aback, but physically he did not show that feeling, he just turned his gaze towards bob, and smiled, then johny started speaking.

"i was born 40 years ago,in a house nestled between the mountains,my family were commoners, my father worked as a miner for the city of ephemeria,while my mother tended for the farm we had at home, there was about, 4 cows, 5 sheep, and 3 goats, our farm also had a decently sized part which we could grow carrots, which helped a bit financially, since selling carrots made about 10% of my family's income,my mother and father were far away from their families, because of..... reasons......"
