Seeing the unacceptable behavior of the people of Swampmuck, Bartholomew decided now was the time for action. After taking in a deep breath, Bartholomew called out loud enough to be heard over the din. "Your attention please!" Bartholomew called out. "Those of you who do not stop this nonsense immediately will receive a lifetime ban from the Tankard!" A lifetime ban from the Adamant Tankard was something dreaded throughout Swampmuck and was neither given nor taken lightly. The Tankard was the best tavern for miles in any direction, and whenever its keeper threatened a ban of any length, especially a lifetime ban, they meant it. And since Bartholomew knew everyone, those who were banned had no hope of slipping by him as just another face in the crowd. Needless to say, he saw hesitation on many faces in the mob after that.
