2005-07-16 [Skife]: *Bethel smiled to herself as the halflings left* They wont be back here anytime soon, I don’t think. You handle yourself quiet well. It was a nice trick with the string don’t think I have seen it since I was a child in school and that was only after the stool was out from under me.

2005-07-16 [Danboo]: *goes to the kitchen*

2005-07-16 [Kit Azhure]: I used something similar in a tactical operation a few years back.

2005-07-16 [Igorina]: Jynx examined the inside of a mug with a critical look on her face. She fished a beetle of of it and flicked it away. " You learn to take care of yarself on the road, darlin' " she remarked. " or the road takes care of you. " She pushed away on her wheeled stool to one of the kegs and tapped a pint of firewater and wheeled back easily. " Been to school have you? " 

2005-07-16 [Skife]: I attended an academy for a short period of time but had to leave after some... err.. unfortunate incidences. But it really wasn’t it for me anyways. *Bethel replied.* I have learned a few other skills to help me get by.

2005-07-16 [Kit Azhure]: *Kat stretched a bit* I believe I will turn in for the night. * Kat said getting up and walking upstairs to the common room*

2005-07-16 [Kit Azhure]: Common room *Kat said over her shoulder before disappearing*

2005-07-16 [Igorina]: " Good night t'ya then " Jynx called and turned back to Bethel. " Unfortunate incidents eh? " She nodded. " I learned enough to not get shortchanged by merchants and that was about it " she said.

2005-07-16 [Skife]: One thing that I learned in the academy is that you can shear a sheep many times but you can only skin it once. Something I remember very well today.

2005-07-16 [Igorina]: Jynx smiled to herself. " All academys should ed'cate folk today on the finer points of knowing how to handle sheep " she said drolly. " What was th' name of yar academy? "

2005-07-16 [Skife]: The Academy of Calimekka. *Bethel replied.* But enough about myself, I feel uncomfortable talking about me.

2005-07-16 [Igorina]: " Calimekka eh? " remarked Jynx, giving the young lady a level stare for a moment. " I suppose I can relate. About the not liking to talk much about yarself. On the stage you take a hundred dif'rent personalities for the sake of a coin...it's easy to lose yarself in 'em all "

2005-07-16 [Skife]: *Bethel put and elbow up on the bar and leaned on it, she then took out a coin and idly made it dance across her fingers watching it* I know a few tricks myself but I never preform them for show. *she rested the coin in the palm of her hand and closed and opened her hand but now the coin was gone.* But the coins I make disappear the people aren’t going to see come back..

2005-07-16 [Fizban]: *glances over slightly hearing the word academy and stared for a few seconds at skife before catching himself, and pretending to be overly proccupied with something out the window* *gets up and looks to Jynx* some eldenberry wine if you would please *flashes a sliver coin in his hand before extending it to her*

2005-07-16 [Igorina]: Jynx's smile became odd and disquieting. " Then darlin' I wouldn't go advertisin' it " she said in an undertone. " ' Cause it always comes back to bite ya in the arse " She nodded. " Just remember who serves the drinks and who gives ya a room to stay in...that's all. "

2005-07-16 [Igorina]: She pushed away from the counter to fill up a pint of wine for Fizban.

2005-07-16 [Fizban]: *gets out his entire bag and ruffles through it some more, while standing in front of the bar*

2005-07-16 [Kileaiya]: 'I'll take a glass of milk Mistress Barkeep' she said with a smile

2005-07-16 [Skife]: Oh never from barkeeps, don’t want a bit of hemlock in my drink. Besides you folk have seen me and could give a description, much easy to just bump into someone on the streets. *Bethel replied in a hush tone*

2005-07-16 [Igorina]: Jynx waved a hand at Ki indicating she had heard her and came swiveling back to give out the drink. She took Ki's coin and set her up with the milk with all the flair of an experienced barkeep.

2005-07-16 [Fizban]: *put his bag away after he had retrived the three silver he was going to give for his room that night, and put out his coins on the bar infront of her awaiting his drink*

2005-07-16 [Kileaiya]: 'Thanks, you heard any interesting tales lately Jynx?'

2005-07-16 [Igorina]: She then returned to her conversation with Bethel. " Not an easy life, sheep shearing. What's the attraction? Just for an idle thrill? " she remarked and raised her eyebrows wisely.

2005-07-16 [Igorina]: " Many a tale, darlin' many a tale " she added to Ki. " But y'have to pay money for the best ones. "

2005-07-16 [Kileaiya]: 'How much you chargin', I'll pay to hear a tale if you have the time to tell it.'

2005-07-16 [Igorina]: Jynx took Fizban's coin and set his drink in front of him. " Enjoy " she remarked.

2005-07-16 [Igorina]: Jynx smiled at Ki. " Well my friend the elven bard and I had been discussing a story of his that I could add a bit of prestidigatation to liven things up with. Save your coin for that " she said with a nod.

2005-07-16 [Fizban]: thank you...and heres the three silver to pay for my room that i will be staying in again tonight...*points the the coins he had lain on the bar and then walked to the opposite end of the bar and sat hunched over sitting on a stool*

2005-07-16 [Kileaiya]: 'Ah that will be quite a pairin' the two of you, I'll look forward to that.' she nodded in Jynx direction, 'Wouldn't happen to be any leftovers now would there?'

2005-07-16 [Igorina]: Jynx swept them up and tucked them away somewhere under the bar. " Tales about life on stage I don't charge for " she added to Ki and grinned. " Too dull to ask money for that. "

2005-07-16 [Kileaiya]: 'I wouldn't say that,' she said 'all tales have their interest,'

2005-07-16 [Igorina]: Jynx rubbed her nose thoughtfully. " Jus' a job you know..." she said with a shrug and looked over at Bethel raising her eyebrows for a reply to her earlier inquiry.

2005-07-16 [Igorina]: " S'far as leftovers go you'll have to ask one of the barmaids about that " she said to Ki. " It's pretty late right about now. Eat now an' you'll never go t'sleep "

2005-07-16 [Kileaiya]: 'I'm awake, won't be able to go back to sleep as it is, I'm a night owl. 'Sides all the interesting folk come out at night' she said to Jynx, then looked around for a barmaiden 'Sylvia, you have any food left?'

2005-07-16 [Skife]: *Bethel thought for a moment before she replied* Well that’s an interesting question, I can tell you why I started. A person has got to eat, but as to why I stay in it? I guess I have to say I do enjoy the thrill of it, nothing can compare to it. And there is a lot of money to be gained but not by liften. I have a debt to pay and I am not going to do that in the streets.

2005-07-16 [Igorina]: Jynx smirked. " Too proud t' enter th' oldest profession in th' world...so the next best thing was sheep shearin' eh? " She swept empty mugs off of the counter into a bin of water that might have been soapy once upon a time and began wiping them clean with the end of her apron. " Debts are nasty things " she commented. " Creditors are worse than highway men. Even dress cheaper. " She stopped and eyed Bethel. " You are smart enough not to delude yourself into thinkin' you'll ever be able to pay it off, right? Well-off sheep shearers are about as common as hen's teeth. "

2005-07-16 [Skife]: Feh, I know that I shall never pay it. Even if I could they would just demand more, but I hate to think of what will happen if I don’t keep paying.

2005-07-16 [Danboo]: *Daniel comes from the kitchen*what may i do now*yawns*

2005-07-16 [Kileaiya]: Kileaiya smiled and downed the rest of her milk and adressed Jynx 'Sling me a glass of Ale, will ya Jynx?'

2005-07-17 [Fizban]: *is paying close attention to what he can hear from them across the room*

2005-07-19 [travs the bean]: the conversations drifted well into the morning and the parons soon realized the sun slowly creeping through the windows, signify that morning had come.

2005-07-19 [travs the bean]: The barkeep made his way down the stairs and noticed the main hall still carried the remnance of ample conversation and good drink. He smiled to himself as he made his way to the kitchen once again and returned with a plate for himself, which consisted of chees, fruit and few slices of dried meats. He than took a wooden mug and poured himself a cool glass of ale and settled himself down at the bar for a drink- nudging a very cranky halfling over to one side, he began to eat**

2005-07-19 [Danboo]: hey travs, sir

2005-07-19 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep looked up from his morning meal**

2005-07-19 [Kileaiya]: 'Hey Travs, could you get me a bit of something to eat when you finish your meal? I'm starved'

2005-07-19 [Danboo]: ummm.. do you got anything here(like coffee) that'll keep me awake?

2005-07-19 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep put down his fruit and looked for the barmaids- who both seemed to be off at the moment. He noticed Jynx snoring loudly next to him in a puddle of her own drool on the barcounter and sighed, then smiled with a nod to Kileaiya and disappeared into the kitchen, returning several minutes later with a plate much similiar to his and glass of fresh ale, which he placed in front of [Kileaiya] and then returned to his meal**

2005-07-19 [Lothuriel]: Helena walked into the dining area and looked around. "Has anyone seen the elf bard who was in my company earlier?" She sat down at the bar. "If you do see him please tell him, I have gone to find his roots and I shall return in a couple of days. I will pay ahead to hold my bed until I return." She slid the coin across the bar to the barkeep. "I am sorry to have disturbed your meal sire" She picked up her things and walked out the door.

2005-07-19 [travs the bean]: **he took the coin and smiled** i will do that m'lady **and popped it into his sack, he then looked perplexed and danboo**why don't you find a bed in the common room and get some rest- I ill have more for you to do this afternoon**he said with a smile, taking another refreshing drink from his glass**

2005-07-19 [Igorina]: Jynx had momentarily woken up and given Travs a sour look. " Y'set that bloody plate d'n t'loud..." she grumbled before her head hit the counter and she was instantly asleep again. She had discovered that firewater, her preferred drink of choice when giving herself the barkeep's allotted pint (or two...or three...) was a drink best served in shots and not downed all at once from a leather mug. Her head was killing her.

2005-07-19 [Danboo]: yes sir*goes to the kitchen then upstairs*

2005-07-19 [Kileaiya]: 'Thank you Trav, but you could have waited to finish your meal' she said with a kind smile, she pulled out her money pouch and payed Trav the appropriate coin.

2005-07-19 [travs the bean]: your welcome m'lady and the house rules state paying custmers first **he said with another grin and took another swig from his drink, slamming the cup hard next to jynx** parden me lass** he said with an evil grin and went back to is meal

2005-07-19 [Igorina]: The noise right in Jynx's ear startled her awake so bad that she fell off her stool and onto the floor. " Ow! " she yelped, clutching her head with both hands and giving Travs a lopsided look that could have ignited the firewater. " Bleedin' parden me lass my a...ghhh " Now along with her head, her rump had started smarting as well. She got back up to her feet again, dusted herself off and muttered, " I'm goin' upstairs an' sleep I'll see y' about mid-afternoon. " She stumbled off muttering to herself about devils that called themselves barkeeps.

2005-07-19 [travs the bean]: **he chuckled to himself, but felt justified as he saw three empty bottles of firewater littered the floor behind the bar, her headache would be payment enough for the unpaid drink**

2005-07-19 [Sylvia Rote]: ~starts to clean up the small mess, yawning a bit~

2005-07-19 [travs the bean]: **he finished his meal without saying much and downed the last of his ale.**well...**the barkeep spoke rubbing the back of his neck** time to get to work and clean up this place** he leaned down behind the bar and picked up the empty bottles and put them in a box, then started sorting through what was on the shelf pulling the empyt and almost empty ones down to be refilled and moving the fresher ones nearer to the front of the shelves. The halfling had left it quite the mess and party he thought to himself must have been lively but he said little as he begun his chores for the evening**

2005-07-19 [travs the bean]: good morning dear and how are we today lass?**he said to sylvia with a smile, most everyone else had left the room and headed back to their places tired and worn from the evenings activities (which means if you enter the story now it is morning and everyone drinking last night has since retired so you come down the stairs or in through the door:))

2005-07-19 [Sylvia Rote]: ~she smiles up at him and rubs her head~ Feeling last night's effects, but not so much I can't help out cleaning up some.

2005-07-19 [travs the bean]: well it is always appreciated **he said putting another bottle up on the shelf and pulling two more empty ones down**

2005-07-19 [Sylvia Rote]: ~she gets a soapy rag and starts wiping down the tables after she clears them off~

2005-07-19 [travs the bean]: **he took several of the empty bottled boxes back to the store room and returned with another mop and began wiping around the bar counter floor, mumbling something to himself about halfings and their lack of cleaning and how jynx would drink him out of house and home**

2005-07-19 [Sylvia Rote]: ~walks by him~ My father use to have a way to teach my brothers a good lesson about heavy drinking, and it alwasy worked. Care to hear?

2005-07-19 [travs the bean]: **he looked up and leaned on his mop** sure i would love to hear it

2005-07-19 [Sylvia Rote]: Well, in our barn, we had a large water trough between two sturdy beams; dad would tie a hammock above the trough and put which ever one of my brothers needed to learn a lesson in it, then fill the trough with water. So if one were to try rolling over in the hammock, he would fall into the water. Dad would stay there incase they didn't come up of course. ~smiles~ I'll admit, I enjoyed helping him.

2005-07-19 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep laughed** if only i had a stable my young friend, if only** he smiled as the mood changed, his mop moved a little smoother and his steep a little merrier as they continued to clean the main room**

2005-07-19 [Sylvia Rote]: ~smiles and goes back to cleaning~ Well she's small, and i know you have a few tubs...

2005-07-20 [Igorina]: about mid-afternoon Jynx came down the stairs. She didn't say anything only nipped into the kitchen and came back with a very large cup of strong black coffee and sat quietly at the counter without saying anything. She sipped at her coffee and tried to keep the shake out of her hands.

2005-07-20 [Fizban]: *is seen walking down the stairs from the upper dormitories adjusting his cloak and hood as he walks, looks about the room as he reaches the last step and then begins to walk twords the bar*

2005-07-20 [travs the bean]: *the barkeep looked up over to jynx- he felt something a miss but figured he would let her work it out and talk when she was ready. Picking up a towl he continued to wipe the bar down watching [Fizban} head his way**

2005-07-20 [Fizban]: *looks up to the barkeep, the usual shadows parting abit and a few of his features could be seen...black hair, blue eyes, a young face, and strange ears...*hello, um, may i please have a drink of water?? *speaks as he idly looks through his money pouch, inspecting how much he had so far lost having stayed here*

2005-07-20 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep pour a glass of water and put it on the counter in front of [Fizban]

2005-07-20 [Skife]: *Bethel came downstair looking around at who was awake. She walked over to the bar and took a stool.* Can I get something to eat? *she asked taking a pouch from her sleeve and taking out a few coins*

2005-07-20 [Kileaiya]: Kileaiya emerged at the foot of the stairs rumaging through her satchel. She looked around at everyone who was awake and headed to the bar. 'Can I get a cup of coffee Travs?'

2005-07-20 [Danboo]: *walks down the stairs and up to Travs*hey sir,what can i have to eat

2005-07-21 [Fizban]: *fixing his hood unconsiusly, he asks* do you want anything for it, or is water free...i dont recollect *takes the glass with gratitude and abates his thirst*

2005-07-21 [travs the bean]: waters free lad, **the barkeep said turning and pouring a glass of dark tea for [Kileaiya] and placed it in front of her**don'tknow much about coffee but i bet this will do, and danboo theres food in the kitchen for the help- stay out of the main dish though** he then smiled at Bethel ** and what would you like to eat lass?

2005-07-21 [Skife]: Whatever you have in the kitchen I am not picky when it comes to food. *Bethel said and then covered a yawn with her hand.* I sleep until the afternoon and I am still seem tired.

2005-07-21 [travs the bean]: fair enough lass **the barkeep left and returned with a plate of the daily special from the kitchen and put it in front of bethel**

2005-07-21 [Kileaiya]: 'Thank you Trav, tea will do just fine.' she handed Trav the appropriate coin. 'You wouldn't happen to know if anyone needed anything would you Trav,' she said as she patted her satchel, 'I have plenty to sell, and I am plenty willng to trade.'

2005-07-21 [travs the bean]: an what do you sell?

2005-07-22 [Kileaiya]: 'I sell weapons, clothing, maps, magical items, and just about anything else one might need. The only I don't sell are edible items.' She said with a kind smile to Trav.

2005-07-22 [Fizban]: *gets up after finishing his drink and goes up stairs*

2005-07-22 [Danboo]: *goes to the kitchen*

2005-07-22 [Fizban]: *comes back downstairs with some luggage* barkeep...i will be back in 4days time...i hope to rent a room here again...it was a...nice stay. you have a very good tavern. Thank you very much for the hospitatlity...goodbye. *looks around the tavern a bit before he leaves, opens the door and turns his head, his hood coming down glancing once more behind him, showing his half-elven ears. *walks out and unstables his horse straps his baggage to the side and rides to the east*

2005-07-22 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep waved to [Fizban] as he left and then turned towards [Kileaiya]** i have spot next door that's vacant if you want to rent it out for a shop?

2005-07-22 [Kileaiya]: Ki nodded vigourously "That would be marvelous, I need to get some of my wares of my hands, I'm running low on storage space."

2005-07-22 [werethylacine]: ::a young woman with a tousled green pixie-cut saunters in to the inn, pausing for a moment to let her eyes adjust from the brightness of the outdoors::

2005-07-22 [travs the bean]: well lass - **the barkeep pulled out a piece of paper and a key and put it in front of her** 25 silver pieces a month- and she is yours- 4 rooms and a working furnace- it is up to you....be with you in a minute mam**the barkeep nodded to the new commer with a smile as he pulled an ink bottle and quil pen from underneath the bar-**

2005-07-22 [travs the bean]: **he waited patiently as she thought it over and wondered where the barmaids had gotten off to? it was well past noon and the afternoon crew would be arriving soon**

2005-07-22 [Kileaiya]: Ki pulled out her money pouch and rumbled about for 25 Silver "I only have 24 right now Trav's I'll get you another silver as soon as I get it."

2005-07-22 [travs the bean]: fair enough he said- just sign the deed and the place is yours

2005-07-22 [werethylacine]: :: nodded and smiled back at the barkeeper, walking past the tables and slinging her pack to the floor as she slid onto a barstool::

2005-07-22 [travs the bean]: **as [Kileaiya] signed away the barkeep turned to the younglady at the bar** 'ello lass and what would you like today?

2005-07-22 [werethylacine]: Some bread, and...I don't see it on your list of foods, but, if you've got some cool milk?

2005-07-22 [Danboo]: *Daniel leaves the kitchen and asks Travs*what may i do?

2005-07-22 [travs the bean]: it's part of the special and that be all that we 'ave right now lass? and cold milk i think i can find some but i reckon i don't know how cold it will be? **he smiled at the lass with his grizzled old face and wiped his hands on his towel**

2005-07-22 [travs the bean]: **he turned to the lad** daniel fetch the lass a glass of milk from the kitchen and some bread- get the milk from the silver canastirs under the counter- they should be the coolest

2005-07-22 [werethylacine]: ::extracts the perfect handful of coins from a pocket sewn to the side of her leather pants and pushes it across the bar towards him:: Thank you for your trouble, sir.

2005-07-22 [travs the bean]: -tis no trouble at all lass, and what brings you 'ere to our 'umble abode?

2005-07-23 [werethylacine]: :: leans her elbows on the bar counter:: I'm at loose ends- my passion is adventuring, and I'm in a dry spell. I suppose I'm here to see what there is to see and make friends, if they'll have me.

2005-07-23 [Skife]: *Bethel glanced over at the newcomer for a moment, but then turned her attention back to here meal her hunger over coming her curiosity*

2005-07-23 [travs the bean]: oh i am sure lass there are adventures to be found, i've been hearing rumors of all sorts these days...makes one wonder what is happining

2005-07-23 [travs the bean]: as for friends- i guess that all depends on the seeker of them- but everyone that shows up 'ere for the most part gets along **he smiled as he wiped another glass down**

2005-07-23 [werethylacine]: ::turns her head towards the other inn patron for a moment, then looks back to the barkeep:: I'm sorry, I've been rude. My name is Ealyal- and I'd be very interested in hearing these rumors. I imagine you hear just about everything there is to hear.

2005-07-23 [travs the bean]: well lass i 'ear all sorts of things- no wether they be true or not - i do not know, what i do know though- there is a warm bed for weary travelers and fresh beer, plus a listening ear. Though lately there has been talk of things below the town in the sewers- i used to have a map 'round 'ere i did but i must 'ave misplaced it**he shrugged as he looked under the counter for a minute than reappeared-** my other barkeep - though - she's been having some weird dreams- things been 'appenin to 'er lately.....but i don't know how much of an adventure you might get out that?

2005-07-23 [werethylacine]: Sewers beneath a town full of magic users... I've heard tales of the horrors that mutate there when the wrong potions and poisons mingle. ::her brows draw together:: Do you think the sewer things are related to the lady barkeep's problems?

2005-07-23 [travs the bean]: no idea- you never know about those things- strange they are very strange...

2005-07-23 [werethylacine]: Next time you see her- could you tell her I'd like to hear straight from her what's been troubling her? In the meantime... I wonder what's taking that boy so long?

2005-07-23 [travs the bean]: i'll go check **the old barkeep wwent to the kitchen and after a few moments returned with a platter and glass of milk, mumbling about the lad wandering off. He placed the food and drink in front of the young lady, smiled and went back to his duties**

2005-07-23 [werethylacine]: Thankee, sir. :: she pulled a long, shoddy scroll from her belongings and quietly read as she ate::

2005-07-23 [Kileaiya]: in the meantime Kileaiya had walked of to her rented room to set up shop

2005-07-23 [Danboo]: *Daniel goes to the kitchen gets some milk and hands it to werethylacine*

2005-07-23 [alexi]: *walks in the door and glances around*

2005-07-23 [Igorina]: Jynx finished her coffee and slid the mug back down the counter to Travs. She looked up at him sharply when she heard him mention the dreams...how had he known that? She heard the newcomer talking about her and couldn't resist a sardonic smile. " Next time you see me..." she murmured to herself, shaking her head. The girl was three seats down from her.

2005-07-24 [Igorina]: Just then she heard Travs whistle sharply and looked up to see him, holding up her apron and crooking a finger at her. " Comin' boss, " she sighed to herself and hopped off the chair.

2005-07-24 [Skife]: *Bethel finished her meal and pushed the plate away from her. She sat at the bar elbows propping her up as she pondered whether or not she should go out to the market today and see what she could find.*

2005-07-24 [Kileaiya]: Ki walked back into the tavern and took a seat at the bar, 'I'll take some Ale please"

2005-07-24 [Igorina]: While Travs had gone to take inventory, Jynx hopped up on her stool again with her apron. She took Ki's coins and drew her a pint of ale. " Tryin' to cut back on the milk, eh? " she said, forcing a chuckle. She wasn't much in the mood for being cheerful.

2005-07-24 [Danboo]: *daniel goes to the kitchen*

2005-07-24 [Lothuriel]: *Helena walked into the bar slowly. Her face a bit sunburned from her trek into the forest. She walked up to the bar and dusted off her clothing just a bit before sitting down. Her eyes seemed distant and void of emotion. She looked around the tavern. With shaky hands she sat her baskett on the bar her eyes filled with tears but she tried hard to hold them back.*

2005-07-24 [Igorina]: Jynx watched her closely. She turned and drew a shot of ale and slid it towards her. " On the house, darlin' " she said and went back seemingly to washing out mugs. Out of the corner of her eye, though, she watched Helena closely.

2005-07-24 [Lothuriel]: *Helena sniffed the ale at first and snarled her nose a bit. She held her nose and drank it. She stuck out her tongue as if she would gag. She regained her composure and nodded toward Jynx but did not speak*

2005-07-25 [Kit Azhure]: Kathryn walked downstairs and sat at the bar then waited still a smidge groggy.

2005-07-25 [Kileaiya]: Ki smiled at Helena as she walked in, then noticed the little one looked troubled. 'You alright, you are not harmed are you?'

2005-07-25 [alexi]: *walks up to the barkeep* who do i speak with about a room for me for a few weeks?

2005-07-25 [Igorina]: Jynx glanced over at her. " That depends on how well your money speaks, darlin'. I believe the common sleeping room is all that's left "

2005-07-25 [Lothuriel]: *Helena moved her eyes upward to look at Ki but her expression did not change. She answered "No, no one has caused harm to me. I, I " she paused for a bit. "I should clean up a bit." She darted off toward the stairs and left all her belongings setting by the bar. Including her baskett full of herbs and spices that was setting on the bar.

2005-07-25 [Fizban]: *walks in to the room from the entrance at a slow pace, limping on his right leg, and a blood stain on his right shoulder**he stops to lean on a table near the bar* he,hello...could someone please assist me?? and i was wondering is my room still available??...

2005-07-25 [Skife]: *Bethel looked down at Helena’s things. She got up and reached down to pick up Helena’s belongs and grabbed the basket of herbs.* I’ll go bring this up to her, shouldn’t be left laying around. *Bethel said heading towards the stairs. She really wasn’t doing this just to be nice she just wanted to see what was eating up the girl*

2005-07-25 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep returned from downstairs wiping his hands with his towel. He looked towards [Fizban] and smiled**why lad you've only been out a couple of hours - i do believe that room is still yours

2005-07-25 [Fizban]: (( lols...i guess the 4 days was quite and over exageration excuse me...lols)) thank you...i dont know where the time went...*limps up the stairs to his room, key in hand*

2005-07-25 [travs the bean]: **the scrap you were in must have felt longer, the barkeep mused to himself**

2005-07-25 [Kit Azhure]: Wait. *Kathryn called out to fizban* I can help you with your wounds *she said standing she waited to see if he would accept her help*

2005-07-25 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep shook his head, and went back to his tasks of preparing for the afternoon crowd- as he checked his boxes below he noticed a few of his old potion bottles were missing and felt it was needed to restock, he wondered if the store was open next door and looked for the page boy** [Erestor]?*he called** i got a job for you, lad if you want to earn a few coin? ** he looked around the bar for the lad and then for daniel and then with a sigh thought to himself kids these days**

2005-07-25 [Danboo]: *there is a clater in the kitchen*

2005-07-25 [travs the bean]: ** the barkeep looked up and walked briskly back to the kitchen** what's with all the racket? *he asked in a somber tone**

2005-07-25 [Danboo]: *daniel jumps*sorry sir one of the dishes slipped from my hand as i was washing it,sir

2005-07-25 [travs the bean]: **with an eyebrow raised he looked at the broken dish** well clean it up lad, than if you want to earn a few coin, see me at the bar - i have a few errands for you

2005-07-25 [Danboo]: yes sir*daniel gets the broom and starts sweeping it up*

2005-07-25 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep went back to the bar and put a few empty bottles on it and marked them with a black stick on their sides- 4 with the marking of a skull and one with the marking of health symbol and but them to the side, as he waited a few moments**

2005-07-25 [Danboo]: *dan come out of the kitchen and up to travs*

2005-07-25 [travs the bean]: ** the barkeep put the 5 bottles in the box- and handed the lad a bag of coin holding 8 silver pieces and 2 gold coins. ** I want you to take these bottles over to the Ware House and see if [Kileaiya] has it up and running- if she does i want you to buy the following 4 poison antidote potions and a healing one- bring them back as soon as you can. You can keep the change- i figure it will be a couple of silver pieces- i hear she's looking for work- paying work as well so you might want to spread the word- if the shop is closed bring the bottles back and the money. I should have more for you to do later.

2005-07-25 [Danboo]: yes sir*daniel takes box and goes*

2005-07-25 [Kit Azhure]: *Kathryn looks around the bar* Do you have any cider?

2005-07-25 [Kileaiya]: 'Yoohoo, Trav, I'm over here' she said with an odd smile. 'I'll go get you the potions you need, I'll get you a fresh bottle and I'll take you empties to refill and restock my shelves with and give you a silver discount for the bottles.'

2005-07-25 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep smiled back** i just sent the lad over to the shop i believe he is standing outside now- and don't worry about discounts- i'll pay honestly for them as anyone else

2005-07-25 [Kileaiya]: Ki smiled and headed out toward the shop.

2005-07-25 [Kileaiya]: Ki returned with the a box full of Trav's potions, 'Where's that lad I sent him back over here, told him I would fix you up with your potions myself.'

2005-07-25 [travs the bean]: he didn't make it back- i bet he will turn up though**he took the box and hid it underneath the bar, it was always safe to have ample supply of potions and such for one never knew what would could happen within the halls of the inn**

2005-07-25 [travs the bean]: ** the barkeep than rummaged through the shelves and produced a small vial and poured it into his water. He noticed his actions hadn't been observed as he took a swift drink and at once looked refreshed and a little stronger than before- almost younger. He smiled to himself as he returned the box to it's hiding place and filled his cup with another fill of water and began to drink heartily again as if to quell some foul taste**

2005-07-25 [travs the bean]: **he then shook his head for a moment and looked downward- lost in thought or to the more keen observer a little sick but it soon passed and the old barkeep was back to his normal old self pouring drinks, just with a little more vigor**

2005-07-25 [Igorina]: Jynx came back over to the counter and tugged at Travs's pants leg. " I need a word with you, old fellow, " she said. Her face looked troubled and dark. She looked around. " In private if possible..."

2005-07-25 [travs the bean]: **he looked at the halfling** yeah sure- **he said as they walked towards the kitchen**

2005-07-25 [Igorina]: In the kitchen, Jynx took a quick look about the kitchen while Travs watched her with a slight look of amusement on his face. Once Jynx was satisfied she turned back to Travs and jabbed her finger accusingly in his direction. " I'm irritated with you, old boy, " she growled. " First of all y' didn't have any right telling that girl out there about me dreamin'. Secondly...how...how did you know I had started havin' them again? " Her finger trembled slightly but her face was expressionless.

2005-07-25 [travs the bean]: you told me**he smiled back** you mumble alot when your in a stoupor as well, besides**he said leaning back against the counter in the kitchen** she felt like the right person to mention it too- you of all people know i gots a knack for finding help, even if they don't want it. So what are you dreaming about?

2005-07-25 [Igorina]: Jynx dropped her finger. " I don't need bloody help, " she said softly. " It's bloody dreams...That's all. Just like...like the last time. "

2005-07-25 [travs the bean]: i see**he smiled, his eyes narrowed** just like last time...which if i remember right ...you ended up face down, nearly dead and drained of a lot of blood....i believe that was it...and if it hadn't been for a tired old adventure to find you like that and get you help- you wouldn't be workin my bar today, just hauntin the dead- a wraith of the night, isn't it?**his eyes focused on her and grew dark for a moment**

2005-07-25 [travs the bean]: anyways- so you havin them again- that must mean your still marked, **he sighed** let's hope it hasn't made it into the tavern- i suggest you keep that part quiet

2005-07-26 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep put a hand on her shoulder**why don't you cover the bar- we'll talk more of this later if you are up to it **he smiled coldly **i'll check upstairs for anything- i'll take the back way- up- **he thought for a moment and thenheaded up the stairs mumbling about leaving his cleaver up there as well**cover the bar lass -i'll be down in a bit

2005-07-26 [Igorina]: Jynx watched him go. Her hand was fingering the necklace within the folds of her sleeve. " You know how I felt about it takin' him and leavin' me alive..." she whispered, almost to herself. She turned back towards the kitchen door, took a deep breath and smiled brightly. Thank the gods for acting...

2005-07-26 [Danboo]: *daniel comes inside*she said for me to leave and she would bring it Travs

2005-07-26 [Igorina]: Jynx almost ran into Daniel. " Buh! " She caught herself in time and frowned at the boy. " The old boy's gone. He'll be back soon, " she remarked and went back out into the bar to step behind the counter and get to work.

2005-07-26 [Danboo]: ok*daniel goes to the kitchen*

2005-07-26 [Igorina]: Jynx took back her position. An hour passed...then two hours...Jynx continued to work and customers came in and out. Finally she glanced up at the ceiling and scowled. " ' Down in a bit' " she grumbled. Things were getting a little hectic and Travs still wasn't back yet. Finally she called Sylvia over and set her behind the bar for a second while she trotted up the stairs to see what was taking him so long.

2005-07-26 [Fizban]: *comes back down, with fresh clothes and a tired pained expression on his face* are there...any healers about, skilled or otherwise?? or is there an apothecary close bye...*mumbels quietly to himself* i really should have scouted this place out having stayed here for so long...i'm being too careless...

2005-07-26 [Kit Azhure]: *Kathryn looked up at Fiz* I can help.

2005-07-26 [travs the bean]: **in the kitchen - jynx tended to the barkeeps wounds he had rec'd upstairs. she cleaned the blood from his forhead and before she could bandage the room- the barkeep mentioned her to get the healing potion out from under the bar**

2005-07-26 [travs the bean]: **After a swig of the potion, the barkeep spoke little as he returned the bar- his head throbbing and bandaged- he figured he would return to the room later and pondered who the assailant could have been, and what they had been looking for. It took a few moments before he could shake off the hit fully and with a little effort started to wipe down the bar*

2005-07-26 [Kileaiya]: Kileaiya looked over at Trav and the bandages that he had around his head and pondered what couldve happened but kept her questions to herself "Hey Trav, feel up to grabbing me some milk?"

2005-07-26 [someelf]: *Excuses herself for being away for so long as she enters the Tarven and smiles some.*

2005-07-27 [Igorina]: Jynx meantime headed back upstairs, her eyes narrowed in thought.

2005-07-27 [Fizban]: thank you kathryn...you are kind...i would greatly appreciate your assistance...*glances over at travs and wonders weather he might want the same assistance if not more...*glances back hiding the concerned look on his face*

2005-07-27 [Kileaiya]: Kileaiya looked over at Fizban wondering if she shoud offer a healing potion to him or not.

2005-07-27 [Fizban]: *looks around and realizes that kathryn has left the room for the moment...*limps to a chair and sits down*

2005-07-27 [Kileaiya]: 'Ur..., I have a shop next door, I stock healing potions if you're interested' she said as she walked over to Fizban.

2005-07-27 [Danboo]: *daniel walks up to kileaya* do you have them?

2005-07-27 [Fizban]: *looks up to her...removes the hood from his head speaks to her* thank you very much...just need something to speed up the healing process...

2005-07-27 [Kit Azhure]: The potion would be quicker. *Kathryn chimed in walking up to Fiz*

2005-07-27 [Kileaiya]: Ki looked towards Daniel and says 'I gave them to Trav already, Daniel' she then turns her attention back to Fizban, 'I will go get you a healing potion, I'll return shortly.' she turned on her heal and walked next door to fetch a potion.

2005-07-27 [Danboo]: ok

2005-07-27 [Kileaiya]: Ki walked back in a short time later with a box of assorted potions in hand, she made he ways to Fizban and set them down at the table where he sat. 'This one is on the house, you look rather banged up. I don't mean to step on your toes Kit, he will still need bandaging, the potion won't kick in for an hour or so, this is a slow acting version, so it won't overwhelm the drinker..'

2005-07-27 [Kit Azhure]: Will he need stitches as well?

2005-07-27 [Kileaiya]: 'It looks like he may need a few, but not very deep ones... I wouldn't advise stitching him up until we know how the potion will affect him, it works slightly different on each individual.'

2005-07-27 [Kit Azhure]: I will wait then

2005-07-27 [Fizban]: the bleeding hasnt stopped...slowed a bit,...*removes his cloak, and shirt...revealing naturally pale skin and an odd body who's features seem to conflict with themselves...his blue emerald shaped eyes, and his ears that althou are pointed are still the same size as a human's. *lays his right arm on the table the blood already seeping through the fresh bandage*

2005-07-27 [Fizban]: *takes his left pantleg and pulls it up to the knee revealing another set of bloody bandages*...it was, well...a careless mistake...i was quite distracted...but these large animals seemed to just sneak up on me...spooked my horse who almost bucked me off...i let it run after i jumped off thou because my packs had fallen off from him...wich is why i recieved these wounds...* the packs contained important objects to me...i couldnt leave them behind...the large grey beast looked like a wolf but was bigger more built...he must have been an alpha male...the others around him were smaller than he was...they didnt give off the same feeling...

2005-07-27 [Kileaiya]: Ki applied a compress to the bleeding areas quickly, he was loosing a substantial amount of blood, causing him to look frail. 'A feeling huh, an ominous feeling?'

2005-07-27 [Fizban]: *speaks as the light from the full moon outside the window poors over him making him appear even paler than before hand* Would you like me to remove the bandages??...

2005-07-27 [Kileaiya]: 'Seeing as it has been nearly an hour and you are still bleeding, it doesn't look as if the potion is going to heal your wounds as well as I hoped, I think you need stitches.' she said as a frown crossed her face and she mumbled about a good for nothing potions elf named Kabs.

2005-07-27 [Fizban]: alright then...if that is what you suggest...*worry and fear etch his face* i have never had to go through any of this before..i have never been so badly hurt...*removes the bandages, to reveal deep bite marks on both his arm and leg, a few scratches on his arm as well...they seem to be pouring with unusually dark blood, and the wounds dont seem to have clotted at all let alone healed for the duration to wich he has endured them* everything is going to be fine...right?? * a young neive face looks to her fear glinting in his eyes*

2005-07-27 [Kileaiya]: Ki looked at him with a reassuring look, 'How about we try a fast acting potion before we try the stitches?' she looked over her potions and made sure none of the others bore the mark of a small k on the bottom and looked at Fizban again 'This one should work, Kab did not make this one, and no worries, taking two will have no ill effects on you, I make sure if that.'

2005-07-27 [Fizban]: okay...*takes the potion and swallows it as fast as he could..grimacing slightly* *speaks idly to himself* i wonder if the wolves will attack me again if i attempt to go on the same path i had before...i killed 2 that stayed...but the largest one...no matter how many of my daggers i sunk into just didnt seem to do anything...phase it in the least...he finally retreted when i had stabbed him in the eye while he was biting me...i hope no one else decides to travel upon that trail today...

2005-07-27 [Kileaiya]: Ki looked very startled at the mention of the wolf that would not be harmed and took a seat in a nearby chair.

2005-07-27 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep kept his ears perked but said nothing during the conversation**

2005-07-27 [someelf]: *Just watches everything from her seet, softly drinking her kamille tea she made herself*

2005-07-27 [werethylacine]: ::slides off her seat and joins the crowd around Fizban:: I'm a druid- I've got some healing spells in me if they're needed. Fizban... if you feel up to it, and there's a map of the region, could you show us all where you were attacked? Perhaps a group of us could take care of these strange wolves- or at least put up signs warning of them...

2005-07-27 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep watched the commotion- he looked at the sun coming throught he windows a little after miday he thought to himself. He rubbed his aching head and reached under the bar producing a silver dagger and walked over to the group** seems your suffering lad, those health potions won't really work with the sickness flowing through you and if there is a full moon tonight than your gonna have more problems. I reckin we end your misery now**he spoke solmonly and put the silver dagger on the table** it is the only way to cure you

2005-07-27 [Kit Azhure]: No it is not. If the werewolf that bit him is killed before he gets a taste for blood the effects should be reversed. And throw his bandages into the fire. *Kathryn said examining his wounds but not touching them* And you will have to stay here, the smell of blood and others like yourself will probably overwhelm you.

2005-07-27 [travs the bean]: then we will chain him down in the cellar- the last thing we need is a werewolf tearing up the place, if you cannot kill the beast by morning than we will not give the lad a chance to get that taste of blood** his eyes were dark and cold. there was blood on his own wound from the attack upstairs and the smell lingered towards the table making [fizbans] pupils dialate more**
