Lame Aliusan led his men in and out of various taverns. Following Elder Rostellum's orders, he temporarily served as the "guardian" of Guru Mountain. Although Black Mountain had previously handled this duty, he wasn't representing them now. Instead, he represented the guardhouse of Gaga County, or on a grander scale, the Liuli City Court of Guards.
Ever since those Alchemists arrived on Guru Mountain, the mountain itself had quieted down, but the area at its foot had become much more restless. Initially, those driven down from the mountain were too timid to cause trouble. However, after a day, they discovered that as long as they didn't provoke those strange newcomers, everything was business as usual.
So, these dubious Treasure Hunters resumed their boisterous behavior in the taverns. They drank heavily, gorged on meat, and shouted loudly, even resorting to brawls when conversations turned sour.
