The Tavern

There are a lot of adventures who gather inside the tavern. The seat was all occupied and all the people were big buff men Armed with swords, Claymore, Crossbow and more.

All of them were there for one Mission, it is to dispatch the supply to the City.

"sir bring more Drink here"

"here too"

While all of them were busy with Their treat. Harith and Charbel Enter the Tavern to check it out. They were crawling on the Floor to avoid getting caught.

I called it "Operation Snake"

"But we are crawling you idiot"

But then, they were noticed by someone. 

"what are you doing here kids"

Turns on it Natan who standing on their Crawling path. Both of them realize they were bad at sneaking.

"explain yourself"

Harith, Try to find the excuse for why they were sneaking into the tavern while crawling like a lizard. 

"Mr. Natan e-er we didn't mean to crawl like this. I'm we were"

"We were trying to find some treasure on this floor! look a gemstone!"

"Charbel, Thats pebbles"

"cool!"

Harith did a facepalm and Charbel get his to be called "gemstone". Natan makes a little Chuckle. 

"Hahaha, I'm just kidding. This is not my Tavern To begin with anyway. 

Harith and Charbel Feel relieved that Natan didn't get furious. even tho both of them are rethinking why they decide to sneak in in the first place. 

Charbel did a light punch on Harith's shoulder blaming him for his ridiculous idea. 

"But, if you want to hear our conversation, make sure to stand up so you can hear better"

They realize that Mr. Natan orders them to stand up because there is no reason for them to hide in the first place. Both of them decide to stand up and finally, in the tavern, they could hear the conversation better after that. They hear people Laughing, chatting, and showing off their Sword. 

"Woah, we should enter like most people did next time"

"I wonder when next time is"

They decide to end up with their "Operations Snake" and just proceed to watch their surroundings. the conversation between the people inside the tavern could be heard by the entire building. 

"All my life, I never heard such a ridiculous request, seriously, moving troughs the Forest just to carry this Supply for the Sake of the Noble in the capital, They didn't even think about our life here." 

"yeah but the reward is quite charming "

"And to think this much reward to be Shared for everyone here, I'm sure there will be a bloodbath inside the forest"

Their conversation is interrupted by Natan who just walking by while drinking

"There will be no Such a thing there."

"Why are you so confident Natan"
