THOMAS

Thomas agrees with Zarabeth, but at Rook's comment he says, "If hey want us to recover an artifact for them, then I doubt they're going to ambush us before we get there. It seems we were supposed to defeat this bunch with ease. We should still be watchful, but I don't think we have anything to fear from our would-be patron until our return trip." With that, he hops on his horse.

[Falconknight06]

The group sets off, and the next three days pass rather uneventfully. You arrive in Green Falls, a small hamlet at the base of a large cliff. According to the map Glenda gave you, there is a small path about an hour outside of the town that leads up to a secret entrance to the forge. The path is too small for the wagon and likely the horses as well.

You arrive at about 5 in the evening and it is starting to become dark.

[KnightOfV]

"At last, we can stop bouncing around on our bums for a little while," Rook says rubbing his backside. "Adventuring would not be nearly so bad if there were less traveling. As soon as we find a spot to stow our sturdy steeds, I am going to search for whatever passes for a nice inn in this small settlement. Who's with me?"

[MikelaC]

ZARABETH

I'll come with you. Unless the rest of the party thinks we should head up the trail right away. I dont know about the rest of you, but riding doesnt take much out of me....and some of my best work is done at night (the last part of that was said with a suggestive smirk on her face)

[arkol]

Unlike himself the goliath kept to himself during the voyage. Beth's comment makes him let out a chuckle. Then with a small cough he adds:

"Yes, we should call it a night... maybe you more talkative people should try to gather the local rumors..."

[Falconknight06]

There seems to be a rather sturdy inn in town, which also has a small stable nearby. The slightly weathered sign pictures a once Bright Red Pig, and underneath is written Red Pig Inn

[KnightOfV]

"Much like you, Zara, I do enjoy the occasional night job," Rook responds with an exaggerated wink and grin. "But traveling up a large cliff face in the dark does not sound like my idea of a good time. Much better to tackle in the morning, methinks."

[MikelaC]

ZARABETH

Zarabeth heads into the Inn, taking a look at the common room as she does so, and then heads over to the innkeeper.

My companions and I are looking for rooms for ourselves and our mounts, plus a hot meal tonight. The rest of them are outside dealing with your stablehands, while we are inside. We need 6 rooms and 6 meals.

Zarabeth looks to see if there is a stage and/or musicians playing at the moment.

And is there any entertainment that plays here at this time of the evening?

[Falconknight06]

I'm afraid we only have four rooms miss. Also, we're light on entertainment lately. To tell you the truth, you lot are the first travelers I've had in about a month. But, I can provide you with hot meals and a place for your mounts, as well as four rooms for ten gold for everything. That will get you the rooms and stables for as long as you'd like, though only tonight's meal. the older gentleman behind the bar says smiling at Zarabeth in a kindly manner

[MikelaC]

ZARABETH

We'll take them.
Turning to Rook, she says
You boys work out how you want to split up the rest of the 3 rooms. I would have one of you in my room, but it wouldnt be seemly
She turns back to the innkeeper
So you dont even have some musicians that play here at night? Thats really too bad.

[arkol]

Neamaeli takes one of the room keys and heads for the corresponding room, not really caring who will be on the same room as him.

[KnightOfV]

Rook gives Zarabeth an innocent look, then says to the barkeeper,"Too bad indeed, about the music." He plops a single platinum coin on the table to pay for the rooms. "I'll take my meal now with a glass of your finest wine, my good man." He wanders over to a table at random and plops down in a chair, awaiting his food.

[Master_Rahl22]

Thomas walks into the inn and sees Rook and Zarabeth apparently waiting to eat. He says, "I will take mine upstairs. I need to meditate and pray tonight." As he heads for his room, he murmurs, "I pray that they haven't harmed her."

[Falconknight06]

Of course sir! the bartender pockets the platinum coin and opens up a door to the cellar and comes back up with a bottle of wine. He grabs two wine glasses and carries them over to the table along with a bottle of Elven Ice Wine. One glass for you, and one for your lovely lady friend the bartender says with a wink. I will go retrieve your food now the bartender says, walking back to the kitchen

[BoomerangFlash]

Clyde enters the inn and sees the keeper entering the kitchen. He quietly approaches the front desk and drops down the eight copper pieces and a platinum piece that he had in his pocket. He then walks over to sit down with Rook and deliberately stares at a wall to ignore any looks he might be getting.

[Demons_eye]

Lee is still fuming about the killing of the boy and the capture of his boss. He does not even say a word as he goes to one of the rooms not taken and starts to do push ups and other work outs. He only stops when some one come's in or an hour has passed, then falls asleep.

[MikelaC]

ZARABETH

Zarabeth eats her meal with Rook, discussing nothing of importance, while keeping an eye out for anyone else in the room who might be taking more than a passing interest in what they are doing and saying. After the meal is done, she will retire to her room, telling Rook to wake her when the party is ready to depart.

[KnightOfV]

After bidding Zarabeth a fond goodnight, Rook slowly sips at the Elven wine for a little while, lost in old memories. He lets Clyde sit in silence, but pushes the bottle of wine towards the somber man wordlessly. Seeing the common room empty out, and the barkeeper start to yawn, the hat wearing one pushes his chair back and walks to the rooms, flipping the serving man a silver coin as he passes.

He hears Neamaeli's snoring from down the hall, and decides that the goliath will get his own room, once again. He peeks into Thomas' room, and hears the cleric fervently muttering prayers. Closing the door back softly, he finally settles on the room with Lee since the shifter is sound asleep by this point. Rook closes his eyes and drifts off with his boots still on and a sheathed dagger under his pillow.

[BoomerangFlash]

Clyde finishes up all the wine left and stumbles up to the room he's sharing. When he gets up there he realizes he still has his armor on. He starts removing it, then gives up when he figures out his fingers are fumbling around too much.

[Falconknight06]

The next morning comes softly, as the night passed uneventfully. Your dreams were plagued by visions though. Some of you dreamed of the young man who was killed in front of you, some of you dreamed of Glenda, though the dreams didn't disturb you enough to hinder your sleep.

[KnightOfV]

An eye half opens and glances surreptitiously around the small room. Once Rook is satisfied that it is morning, and everything remains unchanged from the night before, both eyes spring open and he gets up. Stealthily, he changes his clothing and puts all of his weapons in their proper place. Then he quietly exits the room and heads downstairs. Quite possibly, Lee never notices the rogue was in the room with him at all.

Taking 10 on Move silently- 21

Once downstairs he will sit by the fire and wait for the others to come while musing about how painful a death he can give to those that abducted Glenda.

[MikelaC]

ZARABETH

Zarabeth awakes, and goes through her stretching and warm up routines, Once she is satisfied that she is fully limber and ready for action, she heads downstairs. Spotting Rook already downstairs, she heads for his table.

A quick breakfast? And then head off to find that forge and the artifact.

[KnightOfV]

Rook's vengeful face breaks into a welcoming smile when she comes down. "A pleasant morning, Zara. Looks like you didn't need anyone to wake you after all. I hope the rest don't decide to sleep until noon."

[MikelaC]

Neamaeli's belly cant go that long between fillings

[Master_Rahl22]

Thomas has been up for quite some time now. His sleep wasn't as restful as he'd hoped, and he rose even earlier than usual to pray, meditate, and prepare his spells. Once he is finished, he goes downstairs to find Rook and Zarabeth already there. He gives a half-hearted smile, but seems preoccupied about something as he waits for his breakfast.

[BoomerangFlash]

Clyde wakes up, quite groggy. He checks the journal entry he wrote last night while drinking, then rips up the page and tosses it out the window. He starts to head downstairs to join the others, but he decides his footsteps are way too loud and goes back to bed.

[Demons_eye]

Lee who had been awake for half the night thinking decides to not change his soul melds. He walks down stairs and orders an ale and starts to drink silently.

[arkol]

Neamaeli eventually wakes up. He doesn't feel as energetic as before. He slowly picks his stuff up and slowly goes to the main hall to eat.

[KnightOfV]

Each person who comes down is greeted energetically by Rook, who seems to completely miss the glum mood most of the party is in. He jokes around with the party, and speculates on "what fortune awaits us today!" and generally makes a nuisance of himself.

After a little while, he realizes the silent Clyde still hasn't come down, so he heads upstairs calling, "Come, come, come on down, Sir Clyde! There is treasure that awaits our finding! Vengence that awaits our doing! Adventure is knocking at our door like a lonely harlot screaming, 'Take me please!' and we must hasten to answer her call!!" Rook starts banging loudly on the door to Clyde's room. If there was anyone still asleep this fine morning, the are probably now awake thanks to Rook's ruckus.

[Falconknight06]

Is one of you named "Thomas Stoutheart"? the bartender will ask as he approaches the group sitting at one of only two tables with people at it. I've got a letter here for him
