Well gentleman, it's getting late and it's about time for bed.

Snerp slaps 2 gold pieces down on the bar.

Thats 2 gold pieces as a down payment for your services tomorrow. You'll get another 3 tomorrow when we start, and 5 when we finish for the day. We might want your services another day or two if tomorrow goes well. 

We'll be waking up early tomorrow, if you accept the offer, are you ready to be up as well?

Excellent, we'll see you in the morning then

With that, Snerp downs his drink, then another, and goes to the room to sleep.

The group heads down the hallway and down the stairs outside the Inn, then dips back into the main tavern area. This early in the morning, the tap room is empty save for two people: a somewhat husky older man behind the bar, who is chatting quietly with a flamboyantly dressed half-elf.

(Good catch)

@Earth, you get 4 spells from your list (Level 1)
@kinder, you get 6 spells from your spellbook (listed in the features of your character sheet)

This card tells of a powerful force for good and protection, a holy symbol of great hope.
(the bones?)


What you seek lies at the crossroads of life and death, among the buried dead.

(or this one?  was that where the gallows where?)

(I wasn't making specific commentary, just that that is a useful link to have in general. Also, you found the book at the crossroads already)

The man behind the bar smiles.

Man: Ah, you must be the small one my wife was talking about. I am pleased to have you with us. I am Urwin, me and my wife own this establishment. Could I interest you in some morning refreshment? Rictavio here has brought with him some exotic drink... what do you call it, cyoffee?

Rictavio: Ah, my good man. It is called coffee! Qhawah, in it's original dialect.

Rictavio turns to Snerp and the others and bows deep, flourishing his hat in an exaggerated manner. Pleased to make your acquaintance, sir gnome! I can easily spot a member of the same craft as I. It seems you and your troupe of exotic races have joined this fair town for its Festival of the Blazing Sun?

(Do I recognize the original dialect or where "Qhawah" is from?)

(I just pulled it from it's real-world etymology. There is no deeper hidden secret here. It was just a throwaway to indicate that the man is well traveled)

[Snerp Insight Check: d20 (4) + 2 = 6]

It seems like this Rictavio fell is on the up-and-up, if a bit boisterous.

Coffee? I've not had that in ages! 

Snerp gladly accepts a cup of joe. 

Its grand to run into another bard. Yes we're here for the Festival. Though we're not a troupe. More along the lines of adventurers. I'm the only trained musician of the group. What college did you attend hombre? I attended the Bardic College of Lore, the Baldurs' Gate Campus. 

I was actually going to talk to the Burgomaster about getting a spot to perform today. Tell me, have you seen Szoldar and Yevgeni? We set up to have them escort us around the area, do some wolf hunting.

It really is! But add some sugar, a little milk, and that takes the edge of the bitterness off if you don't prefer that. Try some!

[Snerp Deception Check: d20 (2) + 4 = 6]

Rictavio gives a small nod to Urwin who darts back into the kitchen and comes out with a hot mug of coffee for Snerp.

Rictavio: Free of charge, for a colleague, of course! I am more... self educated. A carnival ringmaster and story teller rather than a musician or actor. I regale people by spinning and weaving threads of plot, constructing entire worlds for them to get lost in. As unbelievable as my words may seem I assert that every story I've told is true! True I say! At this Urwin chuckles and shakes his head.

Urwin: Da, true. Like the story of the goblin with two heads?

Rictavio: "Conjoined" my good man. Two whole goblins bound together at the hip! One of my best acts!

Urwin merely laughs and turns to Snerp: Hunters should be here shortly. Early for them might not be early for you, da?
