Josie arches an eyebrow. "Any you get wine worth a few plat here? Yeah, I'll just bet. I'll take a bottle of the five gold stuff and a room." After recieving his wine, Josie retires to his room for the night.

After recieving his wine, Josie leaves to his room, where he takes the bedside table and braces the door, before shoving the wine into his sack without another word and setting up his sleeping gear underneath the bed with his crossbow ready. One never can be too careful in establishments such as this.

"Well you saw the name out front, I'm sure any of these nice people who heard it earlier today would tell you the story if you asked." Soon he returns with a clay jug, and accepts your gold. The bed is a bit lumpy, but the latch secure.

Snapping sounds, and the sounds of movement begin coming from the northern woods. A small flock of crows take flight a short ways from the edge of the forest, flying south as if pursued, though somewhat slowly, as if fatigued.

Those inside:

The common room slowly empties as people get into their drinks and some begin going up to their rooms. Meanwhile the children and uncle Farheld decided to go home, and the bartender finds himself furiously working to keep everything clean.

Santiago looks up and sees the commotion, the murder of crows flying away and he put two and two together.

Josie rouses instantly at the sound of the shouting but for a second he lies motionless, staring up at the base of the bed. Then his entire demeanor calms as he realizes the threat is far away. Of course he's probably expected to deal with that, but still. Josie gets out from under the bed slowly, quite casually in fact, dragging his crossbow with him, and removes the chair bracing the door and the lock. He carefully makes his way outside.

Ryuuhei decided to take the night shift realizing some of his more booze-stricken companions may not be capable of taking watch, much less walk in a straight line. He nods back in respect at sober Santiago, feeling slight pride that at least one person acknowledges him.

He practices his footwork and swordsmanship while making the rounds, cutting imaginary opponents and stray branches as he paces around the inn's entrance. This serves the dual purpose of honing his fighting skills, and keeping his mind wide awake and ever-vigilant. His not much of a sentry, but whoever intends to attack the inn will likely find and get through him first.

Upon seeing the flight of a small murder of crows, he looks at Santiago and Casimir as if to affirm them of the possible confrontation.

You stare at the woods, slowly you begin making out something moving in the woods, then as the bush is pushes aside, and skeletal hands claw at your face you notice. Three skeletons run from the bush, two of which ignore you while the third makes a go for your chest. You vaguely note that one seems to be holding someone's lungs in its hand. (skeleton 1 holds the lungs)

Everyone else

Spoiler

Show

Three skeletons charge from the bushes, one attacking douglass, and the other two running as fast as their rickety frames can take them, clanking. Perhaps more disturbing even then their lopsided gate, is that one of them seems to be holding a pair of human lungs in its skeletal grasp, a dangling trachea flopping back and forth with the skeleton's gait. (skeleton 1 holds the lungs)

[Archmage1]

Simon stirs, briefly, from his horrible dream about skeletons with lungs in hand...

Used to taking the first watch, Bob is still wide awake. He had taken up a seat at the bar, ordered a mug of ale and whatever was cheapest on the menu. He ate quietly, and had been ignored by everyone in the Inn, for once he was glad for it.

Then the call rang out. Bob Jumped up grabbed his sword and shield. And steps outside to investigate the commotion. Upon seeing the skeletons, he hesitated for a second as he tried to recall some vital information his dad had told him… what was it… oh that’s right, use something that crushes against the undead!

He quickly sheathes his sword and draws his mace from his belt. and prepares for the attack.

After the three skeletons came into view, Ryuuhei draws his bow, the one his late father gave him, and readies himself. He figures he won't be able to move fast enough to clear the distance, so he prepares instead to strike them down should they prove fast enough to reach him.

Whilst Casimir still cannot see the foes that his companions are so obviously concerned about, he is aware that danger is lurking. Taking a deep breath, he waves his hand in front of himself, talking in a deep powerful voice as he does so. As he finishes his words an azure disk appears in front of him, shielding him from harm

Douglass then makes a hasty retreat SE then south shouting as he goes.
"I would advise anyone not close to the inn to make their way close to there, light would be helpful, and there more noise coming from the woods!"

Swiftly following Douglasses words is a great flapping of wings as the crows burst forth from the treeline as the skeleton he was standing beside makes one final attempt to claw him.

Santiago grimaces as more undead burst forth from the forest. He didn't like this, the light was bad, and he didn't want to leave it, those damned fools up ahead would be by them selves for now.

He readied himself for when a foe came to within the light, not willing to go stumbling in the dark against the ever hungry maw of death.

Crail stomps his foot toward the charging opponent and the earth splits asunder before his foe, becoming uneven and hazardous.

The skeletons charge out into sight of the bar, the pair of human lungs still dangling in the bony grip of one (#3). As they move a cacophony of clicking picks up with the bones endlessly knocking against each other, occasionally even hard enough that they might have caused trauma were they still alive. When you meet their gaze you get the queer feeling that the darkness in their skull is looking back...

The one is doing a double move and walking around the house, the other two are running towards the assembled crowd outside the bar. (I think skeletons can run right? )
