Orelan rises, settles his account and then makes for the door. In an aside to Artemis - "Be watchful, friend. I do not trust that sailor to have gone far, or to be alone next time."
Paying his tab and walking with Orelan out the door, they run into a curious sight. The drunk that just tried to accost them refusing the help of a familiar looking stranger and then fumbling around in his pants.
"Looks like you were right Orelan. And by the look of it he is still spoiling for that fight."With that, he readies his Quarterstaff and approaches the pair. Pointing the Quarterstaff at the drunken sailor he says... "Beware friend, that man is drunk and has already tried to pick a fight with us. He is a crimnal by his own admission and is likely to become violent."
Carnesir:
The old sailor brushes off your help with a grunt
“well, if your going to be like that about it. was just trying to give you a hand, you know” Carnesîr says as he takes a step back after his offer to assist the sailor is shrugged off.
”I dont care who you are or where you came from, I just goings to kills yea pale skinned freak with the help of my friend...” pointing back towards the tavern as two gentlemen are stepping out of it. They look familiar in some way but you are to distracted by the sailor as he is trying to pull something out of his pants.
Carnesîr takes another couple steps back as he gives a quick glance in the direction of the taverns entrance as the sailor becomes increasingly more hostile, though the sailor grabs his attention once more as he begins to dig into his trousers.
this doesn’t look like its going to go well at all... he thinks, wondering if he’ll need to find a way to avoid a confrontation with the sailor and the two men exiting the tavern that the sailor pointed out.
“hey, I was just…" Carnesîr begins to say as the taller of the two me approaches and address him. A sense of recognition comes to Carnesîr about the tall bald brown skinned man as he draws nearer. Though not noticing any of the usual tribal marking of any of the Shoanti tribes the feeling of familiarity fades away.
"Beware friend, that man is drunk and has already tried to pick a fight with us. He is a criminal by his own admission and is likely to become violent."
”He’s not with you two?” Carnesîr asked with a hint of surprise in his tone, seeing as they were pointed out by the sailor.
Taking an additional slow step backwards, he asks ”and who’s your friend?” he indicates with an upwards motion with his chin at the taverns entrance, though he is mindful of the sailors actions and the other man before him.
Even though his attire may say otherwise, Carnesîr being only 16 years of age looks very young indeed!
”I dont care who you are or where you came from, I just goings to kills yea pale skinned freak with the help of my friend...” pointing back towards the tavern as two gentlemen are stepping out of it. They look familiar in some way but you are to distracted by the sailor as he is trying to pull something out of his pants.”He’s not with you two?” Carnesîr asked with a hint of surprise in his tone, seeing as they were pointed out by the sailor.
"With us? Indeed no." Orelan says with a look of polite interest. "Do you think he's trying to find a weapon? Or just his handkerchief?"
"With us? Indeed no." Orelan says with a look of polite interest. "Do you think he's trying to find a weapon? Or just his handkerchief?"
"The way he is fumbling around down there it may be a while before we find out," Artemis says with another of his grins.
His face hardens slightly and he reaches out and gives the man a small poke with his quarterstaff.
"Hey, if you do not leave the area at once and stop harrassing people I really will be forced to escort you to the Sheriff's Station. This will be your second chance... people do not get a third chance on my watch."
He looks at Carnesîr and flicks his head, indicating that he should step away from the sailor. He then turns to Orelan and whispers "Be ready for a fight, but do not harm him. In his state there is no telling what he might do, and he may not be fully responsible for his actions while drunk."
|
The sailor gives Artemis a hard glare after the poke with his quarterstaff. The sailor turns to the tavern again and says to the thin air it seems..You stole my knife again you thief, I'lls kills you with my bare hands...
At that he attacks the column supporting the building but seems to be losing already...He is shouting at it the whole time I'm a wanted man in 5 cities, don't mess with me cause I'll kills ya.

Brenon:
As Orelan moves to join Artemis, Carnesîr quickly takes in the elf’s features as they are different than the elves he’s seen so far within the larger strange city, and he speculates that the elf looks more like the elves of his homeland. For the briefest of moments he feels relived that perhaps he is not as lost as he might have thought. Then the realization of the other facts he’s learned and his sensibility kicks in so he keeps his assumptions to himself.
time to grow up Carnesîr, wherever you are your alone…” he thinks as Orelan approaches
"With us? Indeed no." Orelan says with a look of polite interest. "Do you think he's trying to find a weapon? Or just his handkerchief?"
Without so much as a thought Carnesîr instinctually replies in Elven.
<Elven>”Greetings from the house of Galanodel, I am Carnesîr Súrion.” he gives a slight nod as he introduces himself. His speech is fluidic as its evident he has an amazing grasp of the subtle intonations and intricate grammar of the Elven language, especially for one so young and of another race. An instilled trait one learns from having spent his entire youth amongst Elves.
”Whatever the drunk seeks I know not, but I believe its of some importance to him whatever it may be.”</Elven> he adds graciously in the proper mannerism gained from his rich cultured upbringing.
"The way he is fumbling around down there it may be a while before we find out," Artemis says with another of his grins.His face hardens slightly and he reaches out and gives the man a small poke with his quarterstaff.
"Hey, if you do not leave the area at once and stop harassing people I really will be forced to escort you to the Sheriff's Station. This will be your second chance... people do not get a third chance on my watch."He looks at Carnesîr and flicks his head, indicating that he should step away from the sailor.
<Elven>”you mean to say that you or perhaps the both of you are part of the law enforcement for this city?”</Elven> Carnesîr ask as he steps aside as suggested, though he is still speaking Elven as he address Artemis.
He then turns to Orelan and whispers [i]"Be ready for a fight, but do not harm him. In his state there is no telling what he might do, and he may not be fully responsible for his actions while drunk."
Carnesîr tries to Listen in on what’s being said between both men, though he can’t quite make out the words, he suspects it has to do with either himself or the drunk sailor, and he hopes it’s the latter.
The sailor gives Artemis a hard glare after the poke with his quarterstaff. The sailor turns to the tavern again and says to the thin air it seems..You stole my knife again you thief, I'lls kills you with my bare hands...
At that he attacks the column supporting the building but seems to be losing already...He is shouting at it the whole time I'm a wanted man in 5 cities, don't mess with me cause I'll kills ya.
<Elven>”perhaps it would be best if instead of bringing him in to the Sheriff's Station as you say, that it might serve to do him a step better if you escorted him to where he may be tended to, there must be a temple of sorts that may be of service to aid him? I will assist if needed?”</Elven> Carnesîr says as the drunken sailor seems to almost crumble before them.
Zoomackulas
brenon will wait by the case for the dwarf.
<after he says hello etc> "Well me sir, i just spotted your store and couldn't help myself from having a look round, <gesturing to the pin> this is quite an elegant piece i must say... may i inquire as to the price?"
<Elven>”perhaps it would be best if instead of bringing him in to the Sheriff's Station as you say, that it might serve to do him a step better if you escorted him to where he may be tended to, there must be a temple of sorts that may be of service to aid him? I will assist if needed?”</Elven> Carnesîr says as the drunken sailor seems to almost crumble before them....
Orelan raises one eyebrow at Carnesir's use of his native tongue. He replies in common, "I think not. This fool has wasted enough of our time already. It seems that he does not intend to offer us either violence or any sport. So, to an inn."
He starts to walk down the street; then pauses, considers and says over his shoulder <Elvish>"Well, we have something to discuss. Come with us."</Elvish>

Artemis looks quizzically at Carnesîr, trying to follow something of the conversation and failing. Hearing Orelan answer him in Common, he takes another look at the sailor and decides that he does indeed look harmless at this point.
"Very well, let us head to the Inn. I feel like I could sleep for a whole day at this point."Looking around to get his bearings, he follows Orelan down the street. Hearing Orelan say something to the stranger, he waits for them to get a little ahead and whispers "Do you know that boy?"

The three of you head off to the inn. Following the directions given to you by Della you make good time. The Blackstar Inn has an fortress like feel to it with barred windows, stone walls and a slate roof. Two armed guards stand outside the enterance. Standing in front of the inn is Magatha, she is just staring at the inn not noticing you three walk up behind her.....

I could hardly hide my interest in this piece, it is stunning i must say, but before i make my purchase i would very much like to know any information you have about its previous owner. Such a curious item must have an equally curious owner.
Hearing people approach, Magatha turns and gives a small wave.
"I was wondering where you lot were. Here, I grabbed some soap for the lot of us while we were at the market. I'm headed in now to go get cleaned up."
WIth a happy smile, that hasn't been seen on her face for a while, Magatha enters the inn to purchase lodgings and access to a bath.

he takes another look at the sailor and decides that he does indeed look harmless at this point.
"Very well, let us head to the Inn. I feel like I could sleep for a whole day at this point."
As both men speak in Common Carnesîr focus on Elven is broken and he assumes his own natural behavior.
”Well, guess you two know more about how things are done here than I would, and without his friend” here he gives one of the immature giggles adolescent boys take on when something odd strikes them as funny.”I guess then he couldn’t hurt anyone, you think they just let him sleep it off right there?” he ask as both Artemis and Orelan start to move off.
now what’cha going do he begins thinking gotta find some folks that might be able to help or at least provide some usable information as to how I could find a way back home. The word home lingers in his mind for a few moments as he watches the pair of men continuing to move off without him, but it is the Elf that Carnesîr sets his eyes on as he thinks of HOME
Now that his thoughts are no longer distracted by a drunken sailor looking to gut him open, Orelan distinctive Elven characteristics, specifically the ears and eyes become more apparent to him as they match very closely with those of Elves from Varisia, but still he wasn’t completely sure. Now all that remained was for Carnesîr to follow them quietly from a distant and see where they would lead him.
Or maybe that’s not necessary he thinks as the Elf turns and invites him along.
He starts to walk down the street; then pauses, considers and says over his shoulder <Elvish>"Well, we have something to discuss. Come with us."</Elvish>
Once more his adopted nature of the Elves takes over him
<Elven>”Well, I do happen to have some spare time on my hands at the moment, how may I be of assistance?” </Elven> his asks as he jogs to catch up with the pair.<Elven>”If you don’t mind my asking, what are your names?”</Elven> he asks openly to both men.
<Elven>”back home in Arsmeril, where I’m from, everyone pretty much new everyone’s name, I guess its easier when you live in a small village compared to a big city like this, though to me your city pales in comparison to our towering coastal redwoods or the giant pines and white barks of Mierani”</Elven> he say in a matter of fact tone.
Carnesîr knew that he said more than enough to get a reaction from the Elf, if the Elf knew of or was from anywhere near Varisia himself, Carnesîr believed that the Elf would let him know.

Magatha enters the inn by herself, the door being opened by one of the guards with a smile on his face welcoming her to the Blackstar.
The inn has a large lobby area, the inn keeper's desk is located straight ahead on the back wall. To the right you can see open double doors into the dining room and small bar area. On your left is a grand stair case leading up to the rooms. In the center of the room are couches and soft chairs where people can relax and mingle with other guest or members of their party. Behind the check in desk is a very regal middle aged looking lady finely dressed. There are no other people in the lobby at this moment.....

Very well i shall buy it never the less. Brenon is chatting with the shopkeep as he gets out the gold By the way you are right about it being not from this world. It is a holy symbol of a god hardly heard of on this world. It happens to be a subject of many years study for myself and i wont lie, i would consider myself very... Lucky to have found it. Brenon is hardly talking to the man at this point.. his ramble is all for Olidimarra, hoping to receive a response from his god, as he sees this very clearly as a sign... of what he doesnt know yet.
<as the transaction is being finalized>
Handing over the gold brenon thanks the man and leaves the shop. Rubbing his finger over the pins face before slipping it in his pocket and stepping out onto the street, headed for the inn where he expects to see is friends.
Hearing people approach, Magatha turns and gives a small wave.
"I was wondering where you lot were. Here, I grabbed some soap for the lot of us while we were at the market. I'm headed in now to go get cleaned up."
WIth a happy smile, that hasn't been seen on her face for a while, Magatha enters the inn to purchase lodgings and access to a bath.
Carnesîr doesn’t say anything right away, as he figures either Artemis or Orelan will introduce him. At which time, Carnesîr introduces himself simply as Gray Spider, and flashes Orelan a wink, and that they should just call him Spider.
After introductions Carnesîr follows the others inside the Blackstar Inn. Once inside one can see that Carnesîr is quite impressed with the Inns layout, saying things like ”Wow! and ”Gee, that’s gotta be expensive” as he turns in place while looking around.
Letting the others take the lead he trails behind as they approach the Inn keeper's desk.
”so why come here? You all having a special meeting or something?" He ask, his voice sounding a little distance as he begins to stray away
”I’d be lucky to afford a class of water in a place like this, let alone a room” he voice has now trailed off as Carnesîr has moved to the couches, where he then sits and reclines himself into a comfortable position.
The inn has a large lobby area, the inn keeper's desk is located straight ahead on the back wall. To the right you can see open double doors into the dining room and small bar area. On your left is a grand stair case leading up to the rooms. In the center of the room are couches and soft chairs where people can relax and mingle with other guest or members of their party. Behind the check in desk is a very regal middle aged looking lady finely dressed. There are no other people in the lobby at this moment.....
Orelan walks confidently up to the desk, shoulder's back and well-made clothes still neat. His long travels show only as a hint of weariness around his eyes.
"Good day," to the lady, with a slight bow, "my companions and I require rooms. What do you have available?"
He has seemingly ignored Carnesir since inviting him along, assuming that he will follow. To Artemis, he said only "I don't know him, but he knows my people, and may know something of how we came here."

You head out into the street and make your way to the inn. Its easy to find, it looks like a stone fortress. You enter the large lobby area and see your friends checking into the inn. With them you see an human who looks familiar in dress to you and your crew. You do not see Magatha with them though.

"Good day," to the lady, with a slight bow, "my companions and I require rooms. What do you have available?"
He has seemingly ignored Carnesir since inviting him along, assuming that he will follow. To Artemis, he said only "I don't know him, but he knows my people, and may know something of how we came here."
The lady gives an amused look at the slight bow but remembers herself and says,
We do have rooms available luckly, a bunch of adventurers checked out just a little while ago. How many rooms will you need? Its 1 gp per night each and 1 sp each to stable you animals if you have any. We have single rooms or double rooms. Bath and Breakfast are included in the price. Check out is at first bell unless you pay ahead or pay before checkout.
Brenon will walk over to his friends and the woman serving them, with a curt nod to them he starts talking with the woman.
"Room for one, for two nights please, under the name of Brenon paying in advance."
Brenon seems to hardly notice his friends and the new person they seem to have as company instead he is seems to distracted my somthing.
"Also did a somewhat burly looking woman name of Magatha check in not to long ago?"
As Brenon is talking with the woman he is getting out 2gp to pay for the rooms.
The lady gives an amused look at the slight bow but remembers herself and says,

Watching Jinx cut in and ignore them with a smile and a shake of his head, Artemis pulls 2gp out of his belt pouch. He places it on the counter and waits for Jinx to finish before flashing the lady a smile and saying...
"I too will have a room for 2 nights my dear and I believe that my companions will also have the same, although I will let them book them themselves. You may put the booking under Artemis Grayson."With that he slides the 2gp across the counter to the lady and stands aside for the others.
Magatha & Zoomackulas
how much would "brenon" acctualy know about your deity? would i know if you have one? who he/she is how you practice etc?
Zoomackulas:
Assuming magathas answer is along the lines of "you would know who my deity is and very basics about how i worship etc" then i'll be heading to her room for a chat... to see if i was the only one contacted.
"I too will have a room for 2 nights my dear and I believe that my companions will also have the same, although I will let them book them themselves. You may put the booking under Artemis Grayson."
With that he slides the 2gp across the counter to the lady and stands aside for the others.
Upon hearing the cost of the rooms and that the men he accompanied to the Blackstar Inn intended on staying for a couple of nights, Carnesîr regains his feet and walks over and tugs on the sleeve of Artemis leather trench coat.
“aye, didn’t know you all were planning on staying here. This here place is a little more than I care to indulge in at the moment. Besides, I’ve already stayed at a couple other places in the city, though they don’t have the finer luxuries as they do here” he motions to the grand staircase, couches and soft chairs, then continues.
“but they do keep the cold night air at bay and provide similar accommodation as here… I’m an early riser, what say I meet you all back here in the morning? Then we can have that talk your friend mentioned earlier.”
"Room for one please, make that for 2 nights as well thanks."
Magatha nudges Brenon in the ribs with her elbow.
"Better burly than burlesque as far as I am concerned."
Brenon and Zoomackulas
“aye, didn’t know you all were planning on staying here. This here place is a little more than I care to indulge in at the moment.”
Orelan, waiting patiently as his companions buy rooms, slides four gold coins to the innkeep. "Two rooms, lady. Orelan and guest."
"Spider - I prefer that you stay here, nearby."
To the others "Does anyone have the energy to talk and plan tonight? I confess that my bed is calling me. And growing more insistent each moment!"
“aye, didn’t know you all were planning on staying here. This here place is a little more than I care to indulge in at the moment.

Pointing to Orelan at the counter.
"I believe that Orelan has just paid for your accomodation. it would probably be best if we stick together at this stage and if Orelan is willing to vouch for you, then I will trust his judgement".To the others "Does anyone have the energy to talk and plan tonight? I confess that my bed is calling me. And growing more insistent each moment!"
To the others...
"As much as I want to talk about what has happened and where we go from here, I agree with Orelan that we should get cleaned up and have a good night's rest. We can meet in the morning for breakfast and then plan what we are going to do."Looking around at everyone, Artemis shoulders his backpack and says...
"We should all take note of what rooms we are all in to for safety's sake."
With that he takes out his notebook and starts to write names and room numbers down.
Zoomackulas & Magatha
Brenon seemingly having not heard Magatha's little joke, starts to discuss with her what looks to be a very pressing matter... at least to him.
"I had something very interesting happen whilst i was was gone, once you are settled i'd very much to join you for a drink so we can talk."
Brenon's usual calm and collected manner has all but disappeared, he cant stop glancing away from you as he speaks as if trying to remember something, he is hasty and above all distracted to the point of obliviousness. Its hard to tell what is wrong, physically Brenon is fine.
“aye, didn’t know you all were planning on staying here. This here place is a little more than I care to indulge in at the moment.”Orelan, waiting patiently as his companions buy rooms, slides four gold coins to the innkeep. "Two rooms, lady. Orelan and guest."
"Spider - I prefer that you stay here, nearby."
Pointing to Orelan at the counter.
"I believe that Orelan has just paid for your accommodation. it would probably be best if we stick together at this stage and if Orelan is willing to vouch for you, then I will trust his judgment".
For a moment Spider thinks to refuse the gracious offer
”I didn’t mean..,” he cuts himself short and looks over at Orelan “it would be rude of me to decline such generosity. Thank you.” he gives a nod to Orelan, “so long as its understood that I’m not so young that I can’t look after myself, and will repay for my accommodations later.”
It isn’t difficult to see that Spider has something to prove, believing he needs to show the world he can make it as an adventurer on his own, where in truth it’s a personal battle he is waging and only needs to prove it to himself.
Spider remains quiet as the general consensus seems to be that the group will retire for the evening, though he rather get more info tonight, it isn’t difficult to see the others have that long traveled look about them.

The group is given rooms that are all together and even one that connects to another. The group of adventurers the rooms you took over all wanted their rooms close so your group got lucky. The rooms are all on the second floor on the far end, 11, 12, 14, 15 and 16. 15 and 16 are the connecting rooms. Baths have been filled in each room. the rooms are very nice and comfortable each having a extra sized bed, a writing desk, a wash basin and pitcher of fresh water, a hip sized bath, and a small fire place that has been lit before you enter.
So choose your room for the night.....
Making his way up to the second floor Spider waits till Orelan has chosen a room, then he takes an adjacent room.
"what time are we meeting for breakfast?" he asks, while standing in the doorway entrance to his room while the others decide upon their respective choice for accommodations.

Walking up to Room #11 and opening the door. He waits for everyone to choose a room, then writes them down in his notebook.
"I will see you all for breakfast in the morning. Whoever is up first can wake the rest of us, not too early though. After a decent breakfast we can plan what we are going to do for the day. The boy's input will help in this as it seems he has been here longer than us."With that he enters his room and closes the door behind him.

Once he is satisfied, he will place his backpack on the floor, taking out a spare shirt and pants and then get in the bath. Once he is finished in the bath (a long soak to wash away the aches and grime from the road) he throws his dirty clothes in and gives them a wash before hanging them by the fire too dry. He dresses and organises his room, with his Quarterstaff by the bed and a Dagger under the pillow. Finally after one more look around he gets into bed and tries to get some sleep.
Magatha walks up to room 14 and opens the door. Turning before she enters, she declares,"Woe to the man who disturbs me." Stepping in, she closes and locks the door behind her.
Feeling disappointed that Magatha seamed to completely ignore his question, Brenon walks over to the new kid.
"I apologize for my friends the may seem inhospitable but you must understand we are very new here, My name is Brenon, what do they call you?"
"The boy's input will help in this as it seems he has been here longer than us." With that he enters his room and closes the door behind him.
Spider raises a brow at Artemis statement of him being a “boy” and says
”Boy!, I’ll let…" but his words falls upon the wooden door that has been shut as he begins his protest.

Magatha walks up to room 14 and opens the door. Turning before she enters, she declares,[b]"Woe to the man who disturbs me." Stepping in, she closes and locks the door behind her.
”more like. "Woe" to the man brave enough to wake up beside her is more like it.” he says after Magatha is inside her room. He is chuckling to himself has Brenon approaches.

Feeling disappointed that Magatha seamed to completely ignore his question, Brenon walks over to the new kid. [b]"I apologize for my friends the may seem inhospitable but you must understand we are very new here, My name is Brenon, what do they call you?"
”names Spider, well, Gray Spider actually, but most folks just call me Spider.” he replies with a nod
”Elves” he says in anticipation of the usual question that normally follows. ”guess it could be worst, they could have named me Prancing Pony or the like.” he adds with a grin.
”New to the city huh, and here I thought” he motions with his thumb in the direction of Artemis room ”that perhaps you all were involved in some way with the cities guard."
"and actually I’ve only been here a short while myself, so don’t know how much help I’ll be to you all. But seeing as you all can afford such fine accommodation I guess you can’t be doing so bad for yourselves.” he states as he leans against the inner framework of the doorway.
”so you all on an adventure? Or mission for someone? Or maybe after something else that would bring you to Waterdeep?” he asks as he scratches the side of his chin. ”perhaps you all can use a bit of help? Or perhaps together we can help each other. I do have some skills that could prove quite invaluable.”
”if your not calling it a night like the others, perhaps after you’ve settled in we could talk? I have a question or two myself that I wouldn’t mind having answered before morning. Maybe you can even give me some details about your adventure or why you’ve come to the city?” he says standing upright and wide eyed
Spider has that look a young boy would have when they think someone might give them something or when kids exchange candy
”if your not calling it a night like the others, perhaps after you’ve settled in we could talk? I have a question or two myself that I wouldn’t mind having answered before morning. Maybe you can even give me some details about your adventure or why you’ve come to the city?” he says standing upright and wide eyed
At this Brenon walk over to one of the empty rooms opens the door and invites spider in.
"If you dont mind it has been a very long week and i would very much like to have this conversation over a stiff drink"
"If you dont mind it has been a very long week and i would very much like to have this conversation over a stiff drink"
Accepting Brenon’s invitation, Spider follows him into the room.
”A drink! Sure!” he says with a hint of surprise in his tone as if he were getting away with something, seeing as no one has ever invited him to have a real drink, being that he so young an all. Though he has sampled wines on several occasion.

"I will see you all for breakfast in the morning. Whoever is up first can wake the rest of us, not too early though. After a decent breakfast we can plan what we are going to do for the day. The boy's input will help in this as it seems he has been here longer than us."
With that he enters his room and closes the door behind him.Zoomackulas

Artemis:
Brenon pours himself some wine and has a seat.
"Help yourself"
Brenon waits for Spider to pour a drink and join him.
"Lets not beat around the bush here, your not of this world, nor are we, so how is it you got here?"
As soon as Orelan sees the steaming bath in his room, you can tell that he is no longer listening to any of the conversation happening around and behind him.
He barely mutters "G'night" before he is in his room, door locked, clothes in a pile, Orelan relaxing in the warm water. His eyes half closed, he focuses just enough to sketch a brief sigil in the air. The line followed by his finger hangs in the air, glowing a soft blue. When it fades Orelan's clothes are gently folding themselves, the dust and creases shaking from them, the torn hem neatly stitched.
His boots by the door shine, freshly polished.
Brandy, that's all I'm lac... is his last, partial thought before sleep claims him.
The room Magatha entered is silent for all of about 10 minutes until the sweet strains of a Varisian folk song can be heard from through the door. It is evident that there is a VERY happy Magatha in there.
Brenon pours himself some wine and has a seat. "Help yourself" Brenon waits for Spider to pour a drink and join him. "Lets not beat around the bush here, your not of this world, nor are we, so how is it you got here?"
“cough.., cough” Spider nearly chokes on the alcohol as he’s surprised at the direct openness of his host "ackeem.., straight to it I see huh, that’s actually a relief, thought I would have to get you drunk first or something.” he says with a grin, then gives Brenon a salutatory toast ”I’d suspected as much about your group as well once I got a good look at the Elf. As for how I arrived here is quite far-fetched as I am the only one of my group that managed to get out of that cave alive!” Spider pauses for several long moments as the experience washes over him. Never having actually taking a moment to grieve for his fallen comrades his hand visible shakes. He raises the drink to his lips and finishes it off like a veteran. He looks at Brenon with a face of turmoil and a mixture of tumbled emotions.
”that little bugger will pay dearly when our path cross again, and cross again they will I can assure you” he adds as he rises and pours another shot full into the glass. ”and that creature” he pauses as he downs the shot then pours himself another round and goes back to his seat, ”we’ll see how well it fairs now that I know its tactics, lurking in the shadows waiting for victims will do it no good when I assemble a group to kill it. Then my companions will know peace.”
Spider sits in a stoic state without saying a word for several moments looking into nothingness, then slowly he begins to recite the events that led to his arrival in the City of Splendors. By the time his is done with the tale he has finished his third drink and his voice has risen a few decibels.
”and you and your companions, by what means did come here? And what adventure are you on that brought you here in the first place?” he asks slurring a word or two, though believing since this group is intact that they arrived willingly.
The room Magatha entered is silent for all of about 10 minutes until the sweet strains of a Varisian folk song can be heard from through the door.
Orelan dreams of moonlit forest pools, and elven maidens singing softly amid the hum and buzz of fireflies.
and you and your companions, by what means did come here? And what adventure are you on that brought you here in the first place?
"Actually i am quite sure we cam here by the same means"
"I think it is very safe to assume that the general consensus of the party is that we want to go home, I also think that none will have any reason to why you shouldn't join us. Tomorrow i will tell the group what we have spoken about.
Brenon stands and moves to the door, obviously ushering Spider out se he can finally get some sleep.

Everyone has slept soundly. Now rested up and all clean its time for some food to break your morning fast. The group heads down to the inns little dining room, it is empty at the moment except for a young girl setting things up for service. She bids you all to sit and says someone will be with you soon. She brings you some fresh water to drink and a loaf of steaming bread with butter and jam.....
Sitting down at the table Brenon tells everybody what he and Spider discussed.
