The first round of drinking and feasting subsided quickly, mostly because Alexander and company found the drinks and items a bit lacking, and the entertainment, i.e.- beautiful girls and even boys for some, to sleep with was almost nonexistent.
The lack of entertainment was of course because Kalimat as a city was quite tiny to begin with.
And after the battle, its sparse population became even more scattered.
At the same time, most of the 'delectable treats' that might have been available for the victors had already been ruined by the mercenaries who had tried to sack the city the night prior.
Thus the chronic shortage of a good lay.
And it was to the point top that even the top dog Alexander had to go to sleep on a cold bed.
Now, it had been arranged for Alexander to have a maid from the mansion to warm his bed, but he found the woman not up to his standard.
