Greycane is only too happy to oblige, and tells the story of the 'Rogue and the Royal', where some horrific plague of ages past could only be cured by a usurped Queen and the scoundrel who helped her escape. The people seem to find some solace in the idea that there may have been other plagues that were eventually overcome. Just as Greycane is wrapping up his epic tale, the door to The Broken Oak opens and all eyes turn toward it.
