**"Chug! Chug! Chug!" cheered is what you herd in the burly monster knights all gathered around in the tavern, drunkenly and gleefully watching as the largest of the group dipped his head back and greedily guzzled down a hefty mug of ale. His exo-skeletal jaws gaped as beer flowed messily down his throat and spilled across either side of his chin. Galien's thick, hard-scaled throat throbbed with each big gulp he took in. Judging from the few empty mugs already cluttering the table, this was far from Galien's first drink of the night.....And judging by the dazed monster knight sprawled on the opposite end of the table with a half-filled mug still in his hand, there was a bit of a friendly competition going on. His friends continued chanting and chanting like a bunch of boorish drunks. And fair play, they were boorish drunks, but given the crises Galien and the rest of them had averted, they were allowed to be, far as the old tavern owner was concerned.

Draining his wooden mug down to its very last drop of booze, Galien slammed his now empty mug onto the table, smacked his armor-clad chest and let out a belch so loud, it could've been heard well beyond the tavern walls.

"BWWOOOOOOOOUUUUUUURRRRRRHP!!!!!!!"

With that burp came more cheers and laughter from his big, burly fellow knights, applauding with amazement at Galien's rather crude display as it rumbled out of Galien for a few seconds straight.

"Gahahahah!! Nice one, big guy!" Cheered one of the knights, drunkenly stumbling over and giving Galien's fat, beer-filled belly a couple of hefty pats. Even with the armored plate still barely concealing Galien's bloated, heavy-looking middle, the beer could be heard swishing and sloshing around deeply within that rounded belly of his.

Galien hiccuped in response to the pat, and hiccuped a second time before it devolved into another meaty burp. "HIC! Guh, HIC-COOOOUUUUURRRRUUUUPH!!!! Ohhh..." the big-bellied monster knight groaned. He smacked his chops, palmed his heavy gut with one hand, making it wobble beneath his armor-clad palm, then grabbed another mug. "Heh, anyone else lookin' t'give the champ a run fer his coin?" a knight asked**
