The fey carnival will be in town this week. Remember, no deals or debts. Insist on paying for your tickets, and keep an eye on thy children and siblings.

"Common tongue" implies rare tongue.

Ah! I see. Thou art building constitution against such spirit. A challenging undertaking.

Alack, I be trapped in the traffic of the street. The Duke's entourage be upon the main road, and they hath shut down every route and alley that leads to it, for his safety.

Every once and a while, I dream of opening a small hostelry. I can roast a goose mighty well, and my cooking always was good enough for mine fellow watchmen.

Off mine shift a little early due to owlbear bites. Quartermaster recommend I take a "long rest" to mend the wounds, as we're low on potions of health.

On the watch, we always train new musters with the crossbow first. If they stay on more than a year, we begin training with a proper bow.

All the time. Too many of the youth art quick to sell their soul to a patron for a few measly blasts of arcane energy.

I find myself not unlike a gambler. The key be not checking every bag, but learning to read the way a traveler carries their eyes.

Slight annoyance or apprehension be a green flag. Too relax or too unwilling to make eye-contact art red flags.

Ah! Nay. I've not had of it. Though I must try it on my next travel.

The sign of the shop itself. Some adventurers devised an elaborate plan to lure a merchant from another town to their trap.

They didn't even need to steal the sign, they could hath just asked!

Waffles, then pancake. I am unfamiliar with 'french' toast, be it some regional dish?

Probably why disease runs rampant with some groups of adventurers.
