A man enters the bar, a bit hesitantly.  He looks like he might go right out
again, but after spotting someone quaffing a mug of foamy ale, he walks up to
the bar and orders some for himself.

He is a bit shorter than the average, and thin.  His clothes are obviously
suited for the outdoor life, and are well-worn, though in good repair.  He has
a bushy black beard and a rather wild mane of black hair.  He is in early
middle age.

He doesn't speak to anyone but the bartender, and doesn't show any interest in
the bulletin board, the arm wrestlers, or anyone at any of the tables.  He
stays standing at the bar, drinking ale with much satisfaction.  He drinks
his first mug slowly, then orders another.  That one goes a bit quicker.  Then
he orders another . . .

Anyone who has lived here for a while might recognize him, though he isn't
around town much.  Anyone who spends much time in the wilderness knows who he
is.
