Solitude of the evening shattered by rolling wheels from passing merchant carts. Despite the time nearing midnight, everyone was still busy on the streets. As expected from a port city.
After donning a thick layer of coat and a conical hat, I approached the tavern where the vector resided. The design of this merchant cloak I wore was meant to emphasize my identity as a foreign merchant transiting in Samasa. It made me look weird, to be honest.
Keeping myself composed, I walked inside. Tens of merchants already caught in my sight taking a break from their exhausting journey. However, the person I was looking for wasn't here on the first floor. Still, I decided to take a seat by the counter and requested a drink.
"You have some interesting attire, good sir," the bartender opened a friendly conversation. "Where are you from, if I might ask?"
