As you push open the heavy door to the bar, the warm glow of the room and the gentle crackling of flames instantly greet you. You take a moment to let your eyes adjust to the dim lighting before spotting the tall, lanky figure of Grillby behind the counter. He looks up from his task of polishing glasses and meets your gaze with a warm, but reserved smile.

"Good evening," he says in a quiet voice that barely rises above the sound of the fire. "Welcome to Grillby's."
