Due to an exhausting voyage, [Knight] stopped in a bar in the town.
Drunk Man: Aren't you a Rune Knight?

Knight reluctantly confirmed the question.

OUTCOME 1

Drunk Man: Yeah! I was right! I thought so! I was saved by a Rune Knight long ago. I can't say enough good things about you guys! Of course I'll treat you! hey guys! The next round is on me!

Cries of joy echoed through the bar. [Knight] enjoyed being take care of. The next morning Knight parted with the guy and continued on the voyage...
[nothing gained!]

OUTCOME 2
Drunk Man: I knew it! I thought so! I was beaten up by a Rune Knight and I've hated your kind ever since! Just looking at you makes me sick to my stomach! Step outside!

Knight followed the drunk man.

Drunk Man: Eat this!

The drunk man punched Knight, but his blow was weak.

Drunk Man: What?!

Knight fought back! The drunk man was kicked in the groin.

Drunk Man: Ugh! I'm dying!

The drunk man lay squirming on the floor.

Drunk Man: Please forgive me! I'll give this to you!

It was the [random] "Item". As Knight received it, the drunk man ran away!

Drunk Man: You'll pay for this!

The guy walked away at a speed not likely for a drunk [Which means what exactly???]
Knight obtained "Item".

NOTE: What's this? The Knight stays with the guy the whole night? I image they must have been drinking and gambling and swapping stories of slaying onsters and sowing unruly fields. But, if the questing Knight happens to be a female, then the encounter takes on a whole new fun meaning...
