Searching for Clues 2

Gathering / Conference

Some time has passed and we see Auun in a VERY SHABBY TAVERN with a drink in hand, agitatedly telling a story of a great sword. He's in a SMALL VILLAGE at night time and it's raining outside. The people in the tavern laugh and grunt and are generally very drunk and none of them seem to know anything about a great sword. We see Auun opening their STORY BOOK, taking out a wrinkled piece of paper and crossing something off a list. They look at the next point of the list, get up and leave. In the rain a lone rider can be seen galloping along a muddy road.
