Subject At the Leaky Mug

The four enter the inn with a sense of trepidation. Salix in particular is feels like everyones eyes are on him. He tries his best to remain inconspicuous, letting Mund and Ally take the lead, even going as far as to let Ran do the talking for the both of them. As they enter the common room the hustle and bustle of the dinner crowd assaults them. Loud laughter, even louder screams echo from the large room. Tables and chairs fill most of the space, with a large wooden bar on the south side of the room. Four burly bartenders are getting drinks while a dozen or more waitresses scurry about taking food and drink to the different tables. Smoke from the fire place mixes with the smoke from the pipes and cigars that most of the men are smoking.

Mund grabs one of the serving wenches by the arm and shouts over the din "Who do we talk to about a room?" The girl, one of the ugliest Mund has ever seen, uses her elbow to point to a large man standing behind a counter along part of the west wall. Two large 1/2 orcs with short swords and chain shirts stand menacingly beside him. Mund motions for the others to follow a bit behind and they head over towards the man.

As Mund approaches the man notices him and turns to face him. "We need lodging for a few days" the barbarian shouts over the noise. "Well you've come to the best place. The Leaky Mug has the best food, the nicest beds and the softest whores in Bodentown. What type of lodging are you looking for? Private, semi-private or common room?" Mund turns and looks at the others, an eyebrow raised. Ally helps him out. "How many fit in a semi-private room?" he asks. "4 is usual, 6 if they don't mind being comfy with each other." Mund is quick on the uptake. "We'll take semi-private then. How much?" "5 gold a day and that includes breakfast and lunch in the common room. Dinner, booze and whores are extra. Two days rent in advance." The man holds out his hand and Mund pulls 10 gold from his pouch, dropping it in the man's hand.

The man looks at the gold and his face darkens a bit. "I recognize these coins. These are from Schon." Mund thinks quickly "Well of course they are. That is where the caravan we took them from was from. I didn't know you cared where the gold came from." The innkeeper's eyes shift a bit at that. "Oh I don't care but others around here might not be so generous as I. Well gentlemen, if you would sign in here I will have one of the girls show you to your room." The four sign the names they had agreed to and follow another ugly serving girl out a back door to another building. Up a flight of stairs, down a hallway and to the third door on the left. She bows and hurries back to the main building.

The four inspect the room. It is nothing special. There are two bunk beds, one set on either wall, a desk and a large wardrobe. There are two chest on each wall and a couple of chairs. No sign of a sink or a mirror or bathroom.

OODM: Ok do you guys want to do anything?
