After Makdt seems to be done talking to the dwarf you ask him “are we allowed in the basement?”

"Aey, the downstairs is ok to go in, just don't be bother to anybody sleeping in." the bartender tells you.

You go down into the basement;
A flagstone room below the common room, the sound a people can be heard through the timber floor above, there are several wooden cots around with cloth privacy curtains,
the only person you can see is a strange man with a striped blue and white garish outfit decorated with bells and chimes and unusually long and wide ears like fleshy daggers he's face down passed out in a cot.

Oh! Oh oh! Level-up!

Ooh, now we need to pick out a class... barbarian maybe? Ahhaha this merits careful thought...

Barbarian would mesh very nicely indeed with our skyhigh hit points and our natural aptitude for unarmed combat... but our AC would remain kinda mediocre, no matter how much we dump into Dexterity to try and fix it. We'd be taking hits pretty much all the time... but we'd have the hit points and damage resistance to cope, and we'd also be much much better at grappling and whatnot. Grab somebody by the collar, slug 'em in the face-- grab two guys at once, smash their heads together-- it'd be beautiful!

Fightering, on the other hand, comes with perks of its own. We'd miss out on that sweet sweet Rage ability and all the stuff that comes with it... but we could wear heavy armor, which would completely negate the Dexterity penalty to our Armor Class, and our very lack of an Athletics boost would free us up to play around with other weapons and fighting styles. We could wield glaives! Swing greatswords! Hurl javelins! The possibilities are endless reasonably numerous!

...Of course, we don't actually have any of that equipment at the moment, and apparently it's really expensive to buy. Fighter's not nearly as useful an option without chainmail to back it up, so... the question, then, is whether it's worth holding out a bit for the pricey toys.

I'm down for either option, but personally? I'm gonna go with barbarian. The Hulk-Hogan potential is just too delightful.

Now that we're (mostly) by ourselves, ponder the madness we demonstrated beating down that thug and his bony crony. Attempt to take whatever we felt then, and bend it to our newfound "readiness." We will learn to channel rage. Fury is a tool, with which we shall destroy those who would harm us or those we protect.

You think on the feelings you had toward the thug; while you might have felt something toward the living person that made you end him, you can't muster up feeling of hate or anger to that stranger you killed.
Something Makdt told you comes back to you, about needing someone else to teach you other classes you don't already have...
As is, you also don't think you could use this readiness if you weren't in a restful state of some kind.

Head back up.

Hm, we'd best find something to do while Makdt's eating... undead maybe aren't so great at dinner talk.
Look over those patrons we saw earlier. Anyone interesting hanging about?

You look over the patrons;
A female elf with black hair wearing plate mail and a ranseur.
A tall thin male human with braided gray hair wearing splint mail and a shield.
A male dwarf with braided auburn hair wearing banded mail and a bastard sword.
&
A rough looking male halfling with grey hair wearing leather armor, talking quietly to a trio of wounded men who must have came in while you were in the basement.
&
A tattooed male halfling with red hair wearing tailored clothing with an arm that hangs limp at his side.

Lets talk to the Dwarf.
Hm, sure, but first: what's he doing at the moment?

The dwarf is drinking and having some kind of porridge while talking with the elf and the human at the same table.

You decide you could talk to to the dwarf, but don't 'say' anything.
