You know, Chathol-linn, your writing never ceases to blow me away. You use words and imagery so well - your descriptive writing doesn't tempt me to start skimming. I was *in* that tavern. And now I'm gonna meet Gimli!

Author Reply: Thank you kindly, Nilmandra! I like describing taverns. If I'm not careful, people are going to think I spent my dissolute youth hanging out in bars. Regards - Chathol-linn

What a wonderful opening chapter, with a great closing line. "Gimli." Yes indeed. The first person POV is well handled and the character of the speaker comes through beautifully. I liked the detail of how they all wait for the sun to be in the right place before they drink.

Author Reply: Hello, daw. This is my first attempt at the first-person point of view and I am hoping not to let introspection get in the way of the story. Thank you for your encouragement. If you happen to be reading and see me straying, please don't hesitate to let me know. Regards - Chathol-linn
