Gabe and Ted make their way out into the lively Amondiage nightscape. Drawn by instinct, skill or mystical prowess the pair somehow arrive in the thick of a busy pedestrian mall stacked with bars and restaurants.
Avoiding those like the plague, they keep walking and then cut down a side alley that winds its way into a warren of small shop fronts. Eventually at the intersection of 2 side alleys a short step leads up to a metal door, currently propped open by a large man sitting on a stool smoking an enormous cigar.
He makes eye contact and holds up a hand and gives the duo the once over, apparently satisfied he jerks his head towards the door and goes back to smoking.
Inside the bar is darkly lit and several patrons are scattered about drinking and talking quietly. Some kind of wind instrument music you don't recognize is playing in the background. It's a bit brighter near the bar and they pull up two empty seats.

Behind the bar is a well dressed Vargr mixing drinks. "Ah, just so, Imperials yes? Welcome to my bar"
