Outside the Vault's antechamber, the sun beats down on your head. You hadn't realized it was already summer -- where does the time go? It passes down in the antechamber, just as much as up here, you suppose.
You're thirsty, you realize. And from the position of the sun, you reckon it must be past lunch time. Your growling stomach confirms your suspicions.
You remember there's a tavern a little down the way that serves lunch. Though you brought your own, a fresh, hot meal might do you good.
