The previously loud and boisterous room of Sternritter grows quiet as you approach. A powerful overhead light illuminates your form with every step. As you come forward, closer and closer, the room grows increasingly quiet yet with a charge of anticipation running through the air like an electric current. Eventually you stop at the tables edge, back straight, shoulders back, confident eyes looking over each and every face...

Quietly, eventually, you clear your throat and speak;

"Hallo."
