Wumu Town Tavern.
It seemed there were particularly many customers today, but the owner, Roger, was not at the counter.
He was in the back storeroom of the tavern at the moment.
The room had been arranged into an "interview room", where he was interviewing a candidate for the position of outstation director for the Wumu Town Gazette, officially referred to as something like an "outstation reporter".
His good friend Landen, wielding a sword, stood behind him as a bodyguard to prevent anyone from assaulting him.
Roger wasn't the most polite speaker, so it was common for rejected candidates to become irate and even violent; there had been an incident just yesterday.
