    4. We'll talk more later.

Friendly approval

Note: Oghren's personal quest needs to have been completed.

There you are. I was thinking, we've been through a lot together now. We're like old war buddies. So I figured, why not invite you to share a drink? A drink from my own stash, my family's recipe and dedicated to my comrades in arms.

  1. I'd like that very much.
    1. Was there even alcohol in there?
    2. I feel great. Got any more?
    3. I can't believe I did that. I'm going to be sick.
      1. I feel the same way. Approves (+16) Note: It is possible to get Approves (+22) here. See the talk page for more.
      2. Don't get all doughy on me now, Oghren. Approves (+16)
      3. A toast then, to comrades in arms. Approves (+16)
