The scuffle between the dwarf and the elf had been brief, Dick had intervened before things could get heated. The elf had not said a word during all of the commotion, and when it was all over he had just gone back into his transe, but what he was really doing Groin could not tell.
He had contented himself to sitting alone in a chair by the window. It was still raining outside, but it had greatly decreased. Groin couldn't stand it any longer, he got up from his chair, walked over to the bar, gave Dick another gold coin for his good services, and thanked him again. He then grabbed his battle axe and hoiseted it over his shoulder.
When he was outside he withdrew a cloak and threw it about himself. He left Stock by the West road, and in due time made it to the Blue Mountains and met his cousin Grioger. Groin dwells there to this day.
