Harran squints suspiciously at the townsfolk nearby. "Not here. There will be time enough for that when we are beneath the mud of the earth, I warrant."

The newly-met trio continues on to the Golden Dove inn...

It's quite a large building, even if it's only two stories high. It takes up a whole block! (It's kind of a small block, but still.)

"I was not expecting such a large building," Uagu says as the block comes into view. "These townsfolk must truly love their merriment to dedicate such a great space to a tavern. We should do our best not to get split up in there."

Yorin gives a whistle as she stares at this big building,"Woo, this Golden Dove In must cater to Hapids like myself. No one's the life of a party like a Hapid, we should do our best to celebrate our most recent alliance." she says as a counter to Uagu's advice.

"Ah hmmmmm life of the party eh?" Uagu asks, while rubbing his brow, clearly uncomfortable. "I might just enjoy a glass of chilled wine and watch you be the life of the party."

"Ah, how boring, you need to have some hint of danger and excitement in your life." Yorin says with a peppy attitude, clearly not knowing the meaning of personal boundaries,"Though I'm not opposed to taking all the attention. You should at least try once, who knows, you might impress a lady with your celebratory spirit and your hidden suaveness inside you."

The inside of the inn involves a front desk, but over to the right one can easily see a common room where meals and drinks are served. There are a few people in there currently, but they're not being loud nor rowdy (so far).

There're also stairs for going upstairs, and a few chairs and couches for people to sit on while they wait for guests to come downstairs. It's all very civilized.

There's a human male at the front desk, prepared to deal with new prospective guests. "May I help you, gentlefolk?"

"That is quite alright, I assure you. I shall enjoy some chilled wine and watch the merriment. Feel free to do what as you like." Uagu replies to Yorin before entering the inn.

He walks up to the front desk and says, "The three of us would like a room please."

"Certainly, sir, certainly." Mm, he's had enough experience to tell a frog man from a frog woman-- not every human can. "A room for three. Are you gentlefolk here to try your skills in the dungeon...?"

"Of course, the dungeon is just waiting for explorers like us to explore." Yorin says, her tail swinging in excitement. The place isn't rowdy as she expected, but she can change that easily enough, for now she wanted to ask a question,"Tell me innkeep, you wouldn't happen to have any words on missing folks going about. I've heard particular rumors of my fellow Hapid brethren and sisters are also include on that list."

"Of course not," Uagu says at the same time as Yorin says "Of course."

"I mean we might be forced to dungeon delve if it comes to that," He mumbles more to himself than anyone else as Yorin continues to talk. He lets the Hapid finish talking before asking, "Ah yes, and has a female frog been through here? She has a gorgeous voice and is quite gifted with both the harp and mandolin."

"No, haven't heard anything like that..." He seems suddenly uncomfortable. "There are some Hapid currently in the dungeon right now, I believe..."



At first he seems not to know what Uagu means, but the last part makes him widen his eyes and nod. "Ah, yes, the bard! Yes, I saw her right where you're standing, oh, about a week ago, I suppose..."

"A week ago!" Uagu exclaims, showing an uncharacteristic amount of excitement for a frog who has seemed to stoic until now.

"That is not so long ago, and yet who knows where she could be by now..." he says to himself before looking back at clerk and asking, "Did you happen to hear anything of her plans, did she mention where she might have been headed?"

Yorin frowns upon not receiving the news she desires,"Oh well, at least some of my people are around having the time of their lives." she says, but then looks upon curiously as Uagu describes her friend,"Ooh, didn't know you had a girl. She must be quite the looker with the way you described her, hehe. Hey, innkeep, got any drinks, particularly something strong. I feel in the mood for celebration and whatnot."

"Erm. Well. I believe she, too, was going to take a shot at Blacktree's dungeon."



The front desk human warms to this change of subject: "Certainly, gentlelady! The bar is right through that passageway behind you!"

"She is not 'my girl', Yorin. She is a highly regarded bard in my kingdom who has gone missing," Uagu states calmly, although clearly upset at being confused for having a personal relationship with his charge.


He listens to the clerk nodding along. "Also in Blacktree's dungeon, and for almost a week. That is quite worrying, surely it doesn't normally take a week to go through the dungeon does it? I do hope she's alright and hasn't done something foolish."

Again, the desk clerk seems uncomfortable. "Um... sometimes it does. You-- I-- I really wouldn't know, sir."

Yorin doesn't believe Uagu's claim for a second,"Sure, whatever you say lady-killer." she says with a smirk, then beams to the access of a bar,"Aight, let's stop making the innkeep uncomfortable here, theirs drinks and celebration to be had." she says as she walks to bar room where she offers everyone present a round of free drinks,"Drinks are on me gents and ladies."

Uagu shoots a quick glare at Yorin before thanking the clerk, giving him a coin, and following the Hapid inside.

He nods to Yorin, but distances himself when the crowd begins to thank her. "A chilled glass of red wine please," He tells the bartender.

(Yorin, if you need to roll Charming with any of the other customers in the bar/dining area, roll 1 extra die. You might be a little short on funds the next time you want to buy something, though...)



The bartender sends a serving frog for a bottle from the wine cellar.

It's not very chilled when it arrives, but a little-- enough to tell that they did make an effort, at least...

Uagu pays for the glass despite its temperature.

"Harran, if you are more of an... observer, shall we say... like myself then feel free to join me in that corner." Uagu practically flees from the crowd and finds a corner to stand in and watch Yorin. He scans the crowd in the tavern for anyone who might look like they have adventured into the dungeon near town, or any frogs.

Yorin orders a pretty hard liquor, she gives the bartender a good chunk of her hard-earned pay. As is the life of a party animal like Yorin, the price is steep Everytime, but this is to the cat Hapid's advantage. She downs her drink and drunkenly approaches one of the patrons that looked to be the veteran that spent his few times adventuring here and their,"Hey their good-looking, having a good time with that drink I bought for you. Mind being a pal and tell a new adventurer like myself some tips about this dungeon. What details can you give me?" she says, giving him a classic kitty eyes just for an extra measure.

17:47, Today: Yorin The Quick and Swift rolled 6 using 2d4 ((2,4))

Gah forgot to record dies, luckily remembered to copy this.

(I have now configured the roller so that all rolls will be d4 and recording all dice by default.)

The man is human, tall and muscular, wearing an incomplete set of leather armor. "...Well, since you bought me my drink, I suppose I'll tell you... The dungeon's not too bad... if you have a good team. I didn't get to the end-- my teammates were weak, and didn't listen to me. Is there anything in particular you want to know about it...?"

"Oh, oh, tell me, is their like any traps or puzzles. And what kind of monsters reside their? Oh, and is their any place to rest when we get injured." Yorin asks a bunch of questions, her tail swishing excitedly.

"Yes, a few. They're cheaper than monsters, after all."



"Mm, mostly pretty easy ones. Just enough to give newcomers a thrill that they might die. One or two harder monsters near the end, but nothing to make experienced adventurers break a sweat, really..."



"Yes, plenty of those. Sometimes one even finds one or more adventurers already using a spot-- everyone's encouraged to be friendly and share the refuges..."

Uagu sips his wine and eagerly listens in, happy he doesn't need to do any talking.
