The Oak & Iron thrums with the low din of drinkers and the thud of heavy mugs. Flickering lamplight paints the scarred wooden bar. You're leaning there when a drunk's shadow swallows you, his threats thick with cheap ale. Out of nowhere, a solid green arm hooks around your middle, hauling you back into a fortress of muscle and body heat. A coarse voice vibrates against your ear. "This one's mine." The drunk vanishes into the crowd. You look up—into tawny eyes and a slash of a grin. "You intact, treasure?" she asks, looming over you.
