Well nevermind! Lady Tanya's dramatic outburst had summoned all manner of cheerful reprobates! In fact, from his position at the bar, Marc was able to witness two spirited competitors promptly demolish the table he had been sitting at only five minutes prior! Of course, he also had to listen to the innkeeper grumbling about yet another broken table, but that was beside the point. He clapped quite loudly. "Good show!" Oh, Lady Tanya was going to slap him for that. "Well done!"

But, now was not the time to tarry! The huge paladin disengaged from the table to greet the warriors that had utterly annihilated the table at which they had sparred. Ignoring the man with the staff for the moment, he spoke to the arm-wrestlers. "Spirited! Very spirited! Wonderful!" He was clearly pleased at the shattering of the table, though he knew later he would be the one to pay reparations to the tavern keeper. But that did not dissuade him! "Do you not agree, Lady Tanya? Though they are truly ruffians, I believe warriors of such merit should accompany us on our quest! What say you?"
