The door to the tavern opened wide, letting a little snow blow in. The bartender paused in his cleaning, opening his mouth to yell, as he had done repeatedly through the night, “Come in quick or get out, but shut the door!” But he only got as far as “Come in…” before trailing off. That in itself being enough to draw the attention of a few patrons, used to his shouting.
Looking toward the now-open door, they saw a giant step in. A small giant, but nothing less would describe him. Ducking under the door-frame that even most half-orcs would find no danger to their noggin, a strapping-large man held the door open with one massive blue-grey hand. His uniform spoke to a military background, though no one inside would recognize the heraldry. He looked around, making eye contact with several people as he checked the room. He wore a well-seasoned set of armor, and a spear was held in his other hand.
