Main Hall of the Travellers Rest
| Walking into the Main Hall you are hit by a wave of sound.
| People laughing and shouting, dancing and generally having
S o | fun are everywhere. Many tables are dotted around the edges
| | | of the room, but plenty of space is left for the dance floor.
*-*-@-*-+| A large stage has been placed against one wall, ready for
| | the regular musician to perform when required. Tapestries
*-F | and paintings decorate this luxurious hall, along with the
| | | expensive looking candelabras that light the room. The floor

---------+ red carpet that looks like it cost the owners a few Eastwards
lies the entrance to the Inn, and to the west is a hallway. Pennies. To the
north stands the bar, and to the south the restaurant. A large sign reads
"Performance List!"

The inn musician stands on stage here, singing away and playing a lute.

Tsherando stops wielding a highland claymore.

Valindra smiles as a toad might, maw gruesome.

You say to Tsherando 'Welcome, dear.'

Valindra croaks 'But mind the door!'

Tsherando gives you a highland claymore.

Valindra gestures impatiently toward the ajar door.

A wrinkly, ugly puppy walks in.

Tsherando snorts derisively.

Valindra rubs her stubby, emerald hands together in anticipation.

look ts
It is a good thing you are upwind, as you can almost smell the orc just
by looking. Armor appears to be covered with something stitched together
from the fresh skin of whatever creature once bore it. What you can see of
the orcs gray-green skin is caked in filth? Including the tusked face with
its piggy nose. The muck there seems to have been deliberately placed as
some sort of war mask made of skat.
Tsherando is in excellent condition.

Tsherando is using:

<worn on finger> (Magical) (Glowing) a goblin's ring

Tsherando lets out a deep gutteral grunt.

Valindra sniffs the air delicately.

Valindra licks her lips as if tasting something.

You say to Tsherando 'Aren't you a sight?'

enwe clay
A highland claymore glows blue.

Tsherando wafts the smells of a pig pen.

Tsherando rubs his hands together in greedy anticipation.

Valindra whispers something to the claymore, sweet nothings perhaps.

Tsherando says 'Oh.'

Valindra pats the spot next to her on the sofa invitingly.

Tsherando drinks water from a magical spring.

You say 'Yes, Traveler! Drink of my waters, and be sated!'

Valindra smiles demurely, toadily.

Tsherando says 'I know better than to debt with a witch.'

Tsherando inducts you into his private conspiracy with a wink.

You say to Tsherando 'What is a debt between new friends?'

You are carrying:
(Magical) (Humming) the Ask an Orb
a set of mystic bones
a crumpled page

You whisper your question, then shake the orb for your answer.
Dark bold text passes over to orb which reads 'It is worse than you think.'

You say to Tsherando 'The orb says 'it is worse than you think.''

Valindra croaks 'So perhaps you have the wisdom of it, dear. But I meant no offense.'

Tsherando gives you 3000 gold.

You say 'Such a bountiful tribute! Perhaps you shall become a patron?'

Valindra winks or blinks her tiny, button-sized eye.

Tsherando says 'Break your hold or I drop the weapon and run.'

You sense the following spells:

Valindra giggles, her chins wobbling.

Tsherando waves happily.

You say to Tsherando 'My curses don't work like that, dear.'

You say to Tsherando 'But do not leave. I am so terribly lonely for your company.'

You say 'I wish I prepared better gifts for your arrival!'

Tsherando says 'No need.'

Tsherando says 'Cut smash simple life.'

Valindra stomps her foot as she pouts, and a cloud of smoke issues ominously from the ground.

Tsherando says 'Pointy end in creatures to make screams.'

You say to Tsherando 'That sounds like fun.'

Tsherando rubs a highland claymore three times.

You say to Tsherando 'Yes. Triples is best.'

You say to Tsherando 'I am so rarely attended by orcs.'

Tsherando says 'Damn elves.'

Valindra croaks 'They are the worst!'
Tsherando says 'I am sure they are to blame.'

You say 'My sister notwithstanding, I have always found them terribly insufferable.'

Tsherando says 'They need to die so more orc are born.'

Valindra tilts her head to one side 'Is that how it works?'

You cast the bones of the mystic for a reading.
The bones rattle on the ground and settle into position with a shoulder bone prominent.
You get a sense of safety from the position of the remaining bones.

Tsherando nods.

Tsherando says 'Think so.'

Valindra counts the bones. She murmurs something under her breath.

A tiny wisp named Hibbadibbity snores so loudly that she wakens herself from her perch upon the little goblin witch.

A tiny wisp named Hibbadibbity zooms about the rafters, getting wisp essence EVERYWHERE!

You say to Tsherando 'Perhaps you are right.'

You say to Tsherando 'Will you come to Kesaria's escape room next Renewal?'

Tsherando tells you 'No.'

You say to Tsherando 'Why ever not?'

Tsherando says 'Why walk into a trap.'

Tsherando says 'Not me.'

You say to Tsherando 'She is said to bestow powerful spellcraft.'
Tsherando says 'Set the bear trap and step in.'

Tsherando scoffs at the idea being presented.

Valindra croaks 'I will protect you, of course.'

Tsherando says 'Others can figure that out.'

Valindra nods, her chins wobbling.

You say to Tsherando 'Do not let fear stop you.'

Tsherando eats a perfectly cooked roast duck.

You say to Tsherando 'Would you like to see something special?'

You beckon for Tsherando to follow -- sure hope they do!
Tsherando nods.
Tsherando now follows you.

Restaurant
S o | This room is actually fairly small, since most people take
| | | their food out and eat in the Main Hall or one of the other
*-*-S-* | rooms. Even so, it is still decorated richly, and a number
| | of tables are available for those who wish to eat right here.
*-@ | To the south is a counter where you may order food. You can
| | | also see a set of swinging doors that leads to the kitchens.
* * | Several loud curses occasionally drift in from that direction.
| One or two people sit here eating, and there is a murmur of
| quiet conversation that is almost drowned out by the raucous
---------+ noise from the Main Hall. You can return to it northwards.

A warm, comfortable room
S o| This room is somewhat removed from the bustle of the Main

*-*-S-*| or read books borrowed from the library upstairs. Many beautiful
| | paintings line the walls, and plush curtains surround a
@-F | window looking outside towards one of the city walls. There
| | | is a sense of peace and quiet in here that is refreshing
* * | after the noise in the Main Hall. A fire pops and snaps
| fitfully in the fireplace, lending cheery warmth to the
| atmosphere. A door leads north into a hallway, and east
---------+ you can enter the restaurant. A quiet corner can be seen
to the south.
