A knight walks in to a tavern. Not just any knight and any tavern for that matter either. The knight wasn't really a formal knight, he was different. He was a robot, though by any standards of being a robot, he was of piss poor construct. Whoever made him did a shoddy job at that. And his skills at being both robot and knight sucked hard, but what could he do, that was just how he functioned.

As for the tavern, it had no name, just a picture of a frothy mug of beer on the sign. It was in the seedy underbelly of the town, where odd characters frequented and no one really questioned you or why you came here. This knight was looking for some oil, so he decided what better place than the tavern because what did he know about taverns.

He entered the tavern and looked about. Saw a bunch of people just sulking about drinking beer and being drunkards. Approaching the bar, he saw a huge poster plastered on the wall. The poster had a picture of a fair maiden on it and upon seeing it the knight's nuts and bolts went aflutter and his cogs were in a tizzy. Below the picture it stated "Reward for safe rescue of the princess"

The knight looked at the bar tender and began to speak. "I am confident I can bring back the princess safely, I am a knight after all."
The bar keep looked at him and laughed. "You can try, but many have failed. Good luck ya old heap of metal."

With that the knight asked for some oil and the bar keep oddly enough had some in which he gave the knight. The knight took the oil can and walked over to a corner of the bar and began oiling his rickety, rusty joints and decided that he would be a hero and return the princess back safely.
