Few Hours and Drinks earlier.
It was nearly a dawn, a certain traveler walked on the road towards the inn, it was that dwarf. He happily whistling a certain tune along the way. Many travelers that passed him, were wondering what dwarf might be doing in those parts of Trident, but as they heard the dwarf was mumbling words "Gonna taste some good bear or should I drink bottle vine, or pint of ale?", they turned around thinking 'Another dwarven drunkard' and left him be.
As he got close to inn doors, he did not hear that people inside the inn were having fun nor any specific talks going on.
"Looks so busy there, if I knew I could make a reservation first" - The dwarf commented while picking one of the tables.
As he sat down he yawned, giving a little bit of attention to others, as his presence was made, the innkeeper walked towards him.
"Welcome to Roasted Boar Inn, we have the best boars and bear in part of Emerald Gardens" , the Innkeeper stated while eyeing the dwarf as if checking if it has at least some money.
"Hmmn, give your inn special meal, mug of your finest alcohol then." The dwarf made first order, but when innkeeper turned around, the dwarf shouted "Of and please pour the bear into this mug" finished the dwarf while tossing the golden mug towards the innkeeper.
That action brought towards attention of most of humans, that were siting in the corner of the inn.
As the dwarf waited for his meal, he scanned the inn, it was typical inn where every adventure-seeking-people will end up to stop for a break or meal.
The walls were decorated in many boars heads and furs. 'oh, so that why its called roasted boar, just i have wait till i tasted it' as his imagery run wild as how the boar will tasted, he notice a hooded character drinking the vine.
As he looked closely he saw, how elegant each movement of this person hands were, whenever picking up the pieces of bread, or taking a sip of vine. He know something about that person wasn't right.
As he watched closely he saw that person was hiding his true appearance.
He whistled a silent tune under his nose, which enabled him to see over the illusions and dispel them [Illusion breaker]. He saw that in front of him instead of hooded male, stood a female elf. 'Uhu, found your little secret there. This going to be fun, but first let have a meal'. He chuckled as was coming with ideas, how to make this night a fun.
He didn't wait long as Big meal was prepared for him, without any words of thank you, he started eating it, while drinking black bear from his personal golden mug. As he finished, he taped his belly two times, which each time making a *Burp* noise.
As his hunger was satisfied, he started to take an action towards the elven woman.
His final plan was to uncover her real identity by provoking with jokes which he was good for. The elfs from Emerald Grardes are calm and helpful, sometimes overprotective. As for the nobles it's quite opposite, the High Elfs are typically assholes, head high in the sky and all 'Mighty and Prideful', he will have to pick words and cards careful.
If the elf will take the bait, the rest should be piece a cake. 'Speaking of cakes, I should buy one after this one, yummy'
He got up, took his mug and walked towards the end of inn where four of humans, were talking.
".....and then, she marched out from his hose with huge club, shouting get over here you bastard!..." finished the story 1st man.
"haha, that was brilliant Brian, i wonder if he survived that one" asked 2nd guy
"Well Ben the city guards quickly cached the mad woman, but not before she manage to hit poor guy twice" Replied Brian
"Ha ha" other two just smirked quietly
"Good Evening lad, care if I join into this storytelling of yours?" said from nowhere the dwarf, sitting on the free chair, that was between those 4 but still to be in sight of of the hooded elf.
"...." the rest just looked dump folded and didn't know how to reply
"I don't mind at all friend, come and joins us and tell us where you came from, it's an rare sight seeing a dwarf in this part Trident"

"Well my name is Duncan Durn I am a simple Bard that travels around the word to taste lot's of kind of liquor for my amusement and for being here well I just wanted to see an Elf" said Duncan.
As he said he last word the hooded figure just twitched a looked into dwarf direction.
"Ha that first I heard, a dwarven bard, i thought all of you guys, sit in the forge or in the mines?" said Ben
"You forgot that we are also lumberjacks, farmers, griffon riders and mostly we made the greatest alcohol in the Trident" Said Duncan, while rising his golden mug and took another dip.
"So Duncan could sing some song for us?" Asked Brian
"Yup, I could only fart you a Lullaby if you want, because i left my flute in the different pair of pants." said Duncan, while the rest laughed, Duncan took another sip from his mug.
"I was curious what about you Ben and Brian, what are doing in this part of settlement for living?"
"well we are both hunters in this part and sometimes we supply this inn with fresh boars but usually its peaceful here" said Brian
"So you did not see any naked, screaming elves trying to pin down your ass with the arows?" Asked Duncan
"No, wait what?" Yelled Brain
"Hah-ha who told you that elves do that ah ha" Was laughing
"Did you ever see one? Besides those from Academy. I mean who know what they doing under cover of the moon, in the dark forest right?"
"Yeah you probably right Duncan, who know what they doing denying, us humans to venture east." Stated Brian.
"Well you could always ask the Elf right over there" Duncan pointed out to the direction to the hooded person.
The four person looked dumb folded as they heard Duncan words, they do not believed that there was and elf in the inn, of course this inn was located near Emerald Gardens, so sometimes few elves might stop by while traveling to Academy.
As the hooded person heard every word of conversation, he was struck pale how hers disguise was so broken, of course she changed her voice to be more manly, and used illusion magic to hide and alter the appearance, but she wasn't aware that that could use magic as well. As she was pointed out by fingers by that Dwarf she had no choice but reveal herself by removing the hood.
*fiu* *fiu*, she could hear a whistle coming from the Dwarf.
"Told you guys" he said to the Ben and Brian, as they both looked an elf and then at Duncan, they din't know what to say in this awkward situation.
As Duncan saw their reactions he could not stop laugh, the surprise of those humans and bit of ashamed elf was a great sight.
"Why you laughing Duncan? Probably that elf was a traveler to academy and you just startle her" said Ben little bit angry
"No I just remembered a Joke: A human, and Female elf and Dwarf walked into the bar......."
'that insolent dwarf making fun of me! He will pay for this!' The elf she wasn't angry that she was discovered, but she angry at the fact that dwarf, knew her identity and still make fun of her and elves people.
As she wondered how get a revenge or at least make the dwarf apologies she hears as the dwarf raised voice to finish his joke, although the elf didn't listen.
"....And then Human walked to Dwarf and said: Be glad you are short, that hurt as mad!" and with that ending sentence both humans and dwarf laughed. Humiliated and embarrassed by the Dwarf, the elf got close to them.
As humans saw the elf approaching, the humor quickly substituted.
