It was quite a while since Alric Vogel had been in Sudenheim. The city was as it had been when he was last here, teeming with life. Alric stood on the busy Neumarkt Strausse looking up at the sign above the building. It was in need of repair and wasn’t particularly legible but this was clearly the ‘Bow and Bard’.

Altric smelled what had to be beef broth as he pushed open the door. It was late morning and the staff inside were busily arranging seating for the midday rush. Alric recognised the proprietor behind the bar. “Gunter, isnt it” he said conversationally as he walked over. Gunter looked up without any hint of recognition. “What can I get you sir, he started. Alric pushed a pouch of coins onto the counter in front of Gunter. “You might set me up in the snug over there”. He nodded to the small room in the corner. “And a bowl of that beef broth would be nice” he added. “I’ve a few business associates arriving by mid afternoon. If they mention the word “gauntlet” you might direct them to the snug”.
