A biting, cold gust sweeps its way past the gray stone walk barren of
flowers and grass while a few steps ahead, the entrance of a seemingly
bubbly tavern extends its warmth.  The tavern beckons for the exhausted
wanderer to come forth and relax.  Somewhere in the west, the barely
discernible snorts of tired horses break the desolate silence, making the
tavern seem even more desirable to the lonely traveler.  A weather-beaten
sign bears the picture of a boar with protruding tusks.
