"The best way I've found to have a meaningful life is self-sacrifice. Find someone to serve, pour yourself out as a drink offering for a cause that you are passionate about. Family, fame, and riches will follow. in due course.", Kevril smiles across the table at Daos.
"I'll happily sleep in the dormitory. I'm saving every coin I can towards the day I build a new temple to Mayaheine. it will be glorious!"

"If such is your worry, then you should strive to make the journey as pleasant as possible," Roshek answers Daos with a wink and a grin.
"The common room will do fine for me, lad," he answers the pot boy. "And stew and an ale is all I need for sustenance."

Daos quietly contemplates Kevril's words. It was true that Daos didn't have a cause; something to fight for. But most days, it was challenging enough just to get out of bed in the morning, never mind fight for a cause. But even ignoring that, he wasn't sure what cause he would want to fight for, either. He also wondered how Kevril knew that this course of action would lead to 'family, fame and riches' if he hadn't obtained any of that yet himself. But it seemed rude to point that out, so he keeps the thought to himself.

Potboy takes the orders back to the kitchen and grabs any more drinks he might have missed from the bar with the help of one of the barmaids. When he returns he says "Very well here are the drinks and your food should be out as soon as the chef is done cooking them. Here are your room keys and there is still one private room left." he sets the keys down. "The rooms are upstairs, if you would like someone to show you them I'm sure one of us can be of service if you'd like just flag one of us down." he says with a smile as he scoops up the money and heads back to work.

“Seems a comfortable place to start our endeavor. They have problems with ruffians when you were a regular feature of this town, Daos?” He sips his drink and looks to enjoy some conversation.

Upon realizing he had been asked a question, Daos snaps out of his reverie. "Oh, uh...no, Hommlet was pretty peaceful when I was a kid. Boring, even. The biggest problems when I was growing up was the constant clashing of the followers of St. Cuthbert and those of the Old Faith. And even then, it never got that heated."

"I can imagine," Roshek grins at Daos' comment about the clash of religions. "They're a hard-headed bunch, the followers of the Cudgel, and the Old Faith are pretty ornery too, when someone tries to make them change their ways. So, I don't believe you've ever said why you left Hommlet? Is that a tale you'd care to share?"

"Family issues, mostly," Daos replies. "I just wanted to lead my own life, find my own path, I guess. And I felt like I couldn't do that here."

"I can relate," Roshek laughs. "My family never did understand why I left home to wander the world, but I don't hold it against them and I know I'm welcome back - at least as long as I don't go trying to corrupt the young'uns with my tales of travel and adventure..."

"And where is home for you?" Daos asks the dwarf.

"Principality of Ulek, born and bred," Roshek replies with a note of pride in his voice. "Though these days home is where I hang my hat."

Obasi listens to the two speak and waits for an opportune moment to interject.

"Never been there, myself," Daos admits. "Maybe some day I'll have the chance to visit it. I would like to travel more."

"You should. It's a beautiful place, justly ruled and full of goodly folk. Humans, dwarves, haflings, gnomes - all dwell together in friendship," Roshek says.

"Maybe I will," Daos says. "I guess it depends on how profitable this whole situation turns out to be."
