Alana raises her mug in the air as an acceptance of the toast but she doesn't consider herself a new comer so she looks around the tavern to see who the man is talking about. She sees a few unfamiliar faces.
Gwen raises her mug, thinking she could still be considered a "newcomer", since she hasn't been seen by all of the older adventures in the realm. "Cheers!" She answers loudly.
Catching the cheers from a woman across the room Merlin smiles and points to her, and for the lady who is seated over there we say a special 'Welcome" to this town.
Krusten suddenly finds herself surrounded by new faces and a lot of drunken fellows. She stands with authority and speaks like a commander saying, "How about these new folk tell us their trade and what brings them to this tavern!"
Merlin who is already standing looks towards Kristen and hiccups. "The woman has a good point for all we know all of you could be assassins or spies or simply jesters!" He laughs out loud after slurring his last couple of words then sits down.
