Last call!” the barkeep bellowed at the top of his lungs. Hardly any of the patrons at the Tispy Troll heard him over the roar of the packed tavern. Those who did chose not to pay attention and instead drunkenly joined the lusty cheers of the crowd as two muscular half-orcs -- one male and one female -- sat in the middle of the hall deadlocked in an epic arm wrestling contest. Just when it seemed the male orc was taking the lead¸ the female orc's eyes filled with a violent rage as she summoned all her strength and pinned her opponent's arm to the table. The barkeep knew what was next. "LAST CA---” he tried to yell¸ but was cut off by a thunderous "A ROUND FER THE HOUSE!!” as the female orc -- holding up her winning purse -- shouted to the frenzied delight of the beer-soaked crowd. His hopes of going home having been destroyed¸ the barkeep sighed and began opening a new casket of ale.
