He's tough. He's dumb. He's Tavin! And he's... Barrow's new apprentice? That's right. Barrow sees himself in the young brawler and takes him under his wing. Cue the training montage. Plus, Ray gets dumped, and a necromancer is there to pick him up. Mercenaries attack! But... Who sent them?
Still slow-rolling the history of the characters as well as still having Barrow stew over whether Groll or King Durk will muscle him out of his bar. I feel like I'm still waiting for something climactic to happen but instead it's filler with humorous encounters and formulaic flashback scenes of how each employee came to Barrow. The introduction of Tavin could open the door for some head-bashing adventure but I'm under the impression that the intent of the story is not for such things.
We learn more about moody and dramatic Ray! Hearing more about the tavern like the wall of weapons are the small world building details that I absolutely love. This was a fun one and I’m definitely interested to see what role this new Tavin kid will play because that ending was a great and I need to know.
