The Broken Sign Inn
At the mention of the 'zhong, the oddly mismatched pair in the corner murmur a bit. The young kobold woman shoots Hakhpur a suspicious glance, but otherwise says nothing. The aazlai seems amused by her irateness, but is otherwise unreactive.

The innkeeper responds. You can call me Madame Fatima dear, or just Fatima is fine. You shouldn't be worried 'bout the 'zhong, hon. The sultan's massing a big fleet, supplied by the Merchant's Guild. With the pirate hunters acting as support, this "war" will be over in no time and things'll quiet down and go back to normal around here.
