You awaken, bleary eyed to the midday sun, with a pounding headache, an ache in your back and a terrible dryness to your throat. Blocking out the painful light with one arm you fumble amongst your vomit-stained clothes for your wineskin and uncork it, knocking back several glugs of cheap wine. It does nothing to quench the thirst, and you mentally curse whoever came up with that adage about biting the dog that bit you, or whatever it was.
You shuffle up to a sitting position, discovering the rock that was giving you such a backache. As you massage the stiffness from your muscles, you take stock of your surroundings. Greenery, blue skies, a road in the distance and the trickling of a stream nearby. Wow, last night's bender really must have gotten away with you to end up this far out from town.
You pick yourself up and stumble over towards the stream, cupping your hands and drinking from it. It isn't enough, so you take another double-handful and drink some more. What did you even get up to last night? You remember starting it out with Omo and Nym, and something about hitting the sunberry brandy. Then at some point you went onto gutter cruor, and that's where things really start getting patchy.
You're onto your fifth drink of water now and that thirst still won't go away. Gods above, you've never had a hangover
this bad before. You hurriedly drink several more handfuls, panicking with the realisation that none of it is quenching your thirst. You stick your head under the stream and gulp down water until your belly feels near bursting - and then you just throw it all up (along with a fair bit of wine).
You stare in horror as your effluvia washes away down the stream, desperately racking your brain for what might have happened last night to cause this. Let's see, there was the pub, then the second pub, then that pair of prostitutes, then... argh, what was it... the clown... throwing up on a mule... getting separated from Omo and Nym, finding some more wine to drink... desecrating a shrine...
...ah, shit.
