4.
Felix Navidad is on leave, but you track him down to a sleazy bierkeller joint called the Fairytale of Brew York. When you arrive the bouncer tries to stop you entering, but you’re a pretty big deal so he eventually relents.
Inside the room is full of lowlifes drinking and watching the stage, where an oompah band is parping away: festive tunes and those extolling the greatness of the Kaiser, on the whole. You are not interested in music nor beer, so you quickly lose interest and ask the barman about Felix Navidad.
“Of course Hauptmann” the barman says deferentially. “That’s him in the corner playing cards with a gang of dwarves of low moral fibre. Please try not to cause any trouble.”
You stride across the room and take a seat across from Felix who looks up at you from a scarred and pockmarked face. He is a Korporal so you outrank him, but before he can stand and salute you wave dismissively and indicate rank can be disregarded – you just want to talk.
Felix shrugs and indicates the dwarves of low moral fibre should leave. He looks at you nonplussed.
“What do you want, Hauptmann?” he says cautiously.
