What passes for passes, at the Boar's Head inn
Subject What passes for passes
Mark, did we get the same types of "passes" as the others? I know that we will not know that they are magical, but I just want to know if we got them.
From: Mark
Subject What passes for passes
You 4 got passes. The characters have no idea if they are the same type until they meet up with the other 4.

"We need a room for 4 for a couple nights. What d'ya have?"
From: Kal
Subject What passes for passes
Is there anything about the passes that would make Kal think to cast detect magic?
I'm not saying he's investigating them, I don't think it'd occur to him naturally. Only if there was something particular about them. (Arcane Knowledge maybe?)
From: Mark
Subject What passes for passes
Not really. Surin might have an idea as to why they might be enchanted.
From: Ashley
Subject What passes for passes
Would that be an Appraise check, then?

OOC: Mark, any role playing with the inn keeper? Harp asked what they had available?
I am heading out to lunch here shortly.
From: Mark
Subjet: At the Boar's Head inn
I will try and get some this afternoon. Lots of crap at the office today.
People wanting custom printed stuff in the next couple of weeks. We are booked through the end of the year and they are not happy.

"How much you got to spend? A basic room for 4 would run 4 gold a day. Food, drink, drugs and companionship extra. For 10 a day you get all the food and women you want. Drink and drugs are still extra."
From: Kevin
Subject At the Boar's Head inn
"How about 6 gold for the room and the food? We may come back and talk to you about the women after we finish our business. We'll pay for 2 days upfront."
From: Mark
Subject At the Boar's Head inn
"Done." He takes the money, 12 gold, and signals for a young girl. This girl has an odd look about her. It takes Harp a few seconds to realize what it is. She is a 1/2 orc, just like him. He would put her age at around 12 but she is already just under 6 foot. Not ugly by Harp's standards but her orcish parentage is obvious. She eyes Harp with open lust. "You're a big one aren't you?' She says. She grabs his arm and pulls him, with the others following down a long hallway. Out into a courtyard and to a building in the back. In another door and up a flight of stairs. Turning right, she pulls open the first door on the right and shows them their room.
She hops up on the bed and leans back suggestively. "If you need anything" she wiggles her eyebrows," just let me know. I am called Thanga."

*waggles eyebrows*
From: Karl
Subject At the Boar's Head inn
Would that be "Miss Thanga?"

Too bad Mund is on the other side of the city.
From: Porter
Subject At the Boar's Head inn
*pouts*
But who knows? Maybe that's Mund's daughter.
From: Mark
Subject At the Boar's Head inn
Naw she is better looking than that. ;) And if she and Harp get involved would that make Mund Harp's father in law?
From: Porter
Subject At the Boar's Head inn
She takes after her mother, the sweet thing.
From: Kevin
Subject At the Boar's Head inn
Harp grins at the girl and says in his best Orcish "Thank you, Thanga, but we're fine for now. We want to get cleaned up after our travels. Maybe later we can talk??"
He tips her a silver piece and pats her rump on the way out.
From: Mark
Subject At the Boar's Head inn
Thanga looks disappointed but keeps the silver piece. She closes the door behind her.
The 4 look around the room. It is fairly spacious, with four bed placed around the room and a central table. There are two windows with bars on them on the wall opposite the door. The room is lit with 6 wall torches that look similar to Munds everburning torch. However these have dark bags attached so that the light can be put out.
Surin makes a quick inspection of the room and reports in. "The good news. We are at the end of the hallway so we only have one neighbor" he points to the communal wall. "The bad news is that the walls are typical Inn walls and not all that sturdy. The other bad news: the damn furniture is too big." As he says this he moves towards the table in the middle of the room and with a running leap jumps up on the human sized chair.

Harp laughs at Surin's comment, goes over to one of the beds and lays down, his feet dangling over the edge a few inches. "I don't know what your'e complaining about, at least your feet don't hang out."
"Let's get unpacked and cleaned up a bit, but don't leave anything important in the room. Then we can head down to get some food and get a feel for this place."
OOC: Mark, I assume there is a communal bathing area on the floor somewhere?
From: Kevin
Subject At the Boar's Head inn
OOC: Mark, for now, Harp is going to try to go by the name of Hack, and will try to remind the others of that as they head to the common room.
From: Mark
Subject At the Boar's Head inn
No one saw a bathing area any where so far. There is only a small bowl with a piece of silvered glass as a mirror on the wall next to the door. Underneath is a large, empty pitcher. There are 4 bedpans, one next to each bed.
From: Ashley
Subject At the Boar's Head inn
OK, the retcon this.
"Surin, why don't you go take a quick look around the inn here. Try to get a basic layout so if we need to leave quickly, we have a good idea of where we can go."
From: Ashley
Subject What passes for passes
Before everyone splits off from the room, Surin gets Kal's attention and pulls out his city pass. "I noticed when I was looking at this earlier that the design is pretty straightforward--nothing too complicated or ornate. I figure any kid with a paintbrush could probably forge it with a little practice. I was thinking, if this really is something we should have when we go around the city, there might be something magical to set it apart from a false one. D'you think you could tell if it was?"
In the absence of Allistair, Kal's the first one Surin thinks of to do something like this, but he wants to get it straightened out before anyone leaves the inn.
