Brief Description of the Inn: Location: The inn is nestled in the middle of a forest by a dirt road. The road leads up into the mountains, or down to a small town. There is a large garden beside the inn, and an orchard beyond that. A small stable is backed up against the inn, with room for no more then 4 horses. A paddock in the back serves for spare horses.
Inside: The inn is roughly made with timber, and contains a few spare rooms upstairs, a large lobby with a fireplace, a kitchen and a bar. There are a few tables and chairs, and two fairly comfortable looking ones by the fire.
The owner: Silver is seemingly ordinary considering the times, and does most of the work about the place. She likes to hear the stories of the travelers, but seldom travels herself, apart from finding plants she needs in the woods. -------------------------- Welcome to the Flaming Sword Inn! Please come in! There is plenty to eat if you are hungry, roast mutton, a flask of ale, an apple for the journey home? Aah but you must be tired, feel free to order a room.
Don't worry about the horses, they will be put up and fed for the night. Come in, come in! What are you standing out in the cold for?
Let the adventures begin!

Shea rides up to the Flaming Sword Inn on her big, black mare. It seems vacant, but open. She nudges her horse towards the stables. Shea attends to her horse and puts Savannah in the paddock. Afterwards, she heads inside.
The 5'4 red haired vixen approaches the counter. "I would like a plate of food and a glass of ale to go with it please."

Silver nods her head and grabs a clean mug. She goes over to a large barrel and pulls a cork at the bottom, catching the torrent in the mug before recapping it.
She then takes a chunk of mutton from the oven, and piles beside it a roasted potato and a slice of apple pie.
"Here you go!" Silver hands Shea the plate of food and the mug of ale. "You must have had a long journey!"

OCC: For my personal information, what is mutton? Shea picks up her fork and knife and begins to eat. She nods her head in answer to the innkeeper's question. She quickly took a sip of her ale. "I've traveled several miles. I started from the furthest tip of the Western Provinces." Shea took another sip of ale and a bite of mutton. "How much do I owe you? And add a two nights stay to that please."

ooc: meat from an adult sheep. I personally think its disgusting but it was very popular in those days.
"2 Shillings, but I'll knock an extra farthing or two off if you tell me of your journey, it sounds interesting!"

Chance wearily rides to the Flaming Sword Inn on his black horse, which is also weary. As he attempts to jump off his horse, he finds himself laying on the ground, unable to move, gazing up at the stars in the sky. As he starts to regain some strength, he puts his horse in the small stable, and starts stumbling toward the door to the main entrance of the Inn. He finally enters and says, in a mubbling voice, "Water, water, I need water." His weary body just lies there, beaten and bruised as if he hasn't had a bath in a while, right in front of the door.

The loud "Thunk" of an unresisting body impacting on the floor catchest Silver's ears and she leaps over the counter to drag him inside.
The only water is whats currently steeping in the kettle, so Silver yanks it off the fire, adds her most invigorating tea, pries open Chances mouth and pours it in.
"Sorry if its too hot but you need this."
Silver sprints out the door, grabbing the bucket as she goes, and returns almost imediately with a heavy bucket of water.

As Chance starts coming back to life(by this I mean regaining motion), he sits up and says, "Thank you Silver, I needed that. You see I've had a very hard, dangerous, and exhausting journey. My horse is wounded, also from the ravishing wolves we encountered." Chance stands up barely, making his way to the bar. "After I get something to eat I'll attend to my horse to see how he's doing. But, right now, I'd love to have some of your delicious mutton. And a cup of coffee if you have any. Thank you, so very much."

Gratitude showed in Shea's expression. Shea then thought of her journey and her eyes saddened.
"My brother, Lucca, was taken prisoner by Don Riccolai." She lowered her head to wipe a tear from her eye.
"My destination is to reach the most powerful man that can save by brother. The evil Don Riccolai took not only my brother but my lands and possessions. I will risk my life to reach the cursed Don Demarco in the Lions Valley." Shea's voice said with conviction. Her hand swept through her hair in an agitated yet feminine gesture.
"I'd like some more mutton please." She pulled out 4 coins and handed them to the innkeeper.
"My name is Shea O'Harron. Glad to meet you. What's your name?" She looked both at the innkeeper and the newcomer.

Chance looks over at the woman speaking to him and says, "Nice to meet you Shea O'Harron. My name is Chance O'Dellion." Then he smiles. As Chance listens to Sheas' story, he says, "Such a devastating story. Tell you what, give me one night to gain back my energy, and I'll go with you to help on your journey, if you wish." Chance lloks over at the innkeeper and says, "I'd a room for the night. Thanks."

Shea looked at Chance. "If you would not mind staying an extra night, I will take up your offer. I've had a long journey and am very tired. My horse is too." She took a sip of ale before continuing.
"I'll even pay your extra night if you accompany to the Lion's Valley. I've heard it is mighty fierce land with lots of different types of cat species. And rumors have it that the Don can control them and that he is part lion himself. But I don't believe in such stories, although I believe in the danger of the cats."
Shea enjoyed the rest of her mutton while awaiting his reply.

Chance looks at Shea and says, "Of course I'll stay another night. My journey has been long and hard as well. You see, your destination is where I've already been. I've come from the Lion's Valley, and what they say is true, He does control the cat species, and he is part lion. Actually, to tell you the truth, that is why I'm here. Don Riccolai sent me to eliminate the sister of Lucca. But as I stand here now, I can't do that. I guess, as I started my journey, I've had second thoughts. Don't worry, I won't harm you. I see that Don Riccolai is evil, and I'll ride by your side to rescue Lucca. I hope you will trust me."

Shea gasps with shock pulling away from the bar. "Thank you for the food, Silver." She turns to Chance with her green eyes upon him. Fear appeared in them. "How can I trust you after what you just admitted? And have you seen my Lucca. I've heard he is deathly ill and being tortured by that evil man." Shea looked like she was ready to bolt to her room, but she wanted to know about her brother. And to see if he was trustworthy.

Chance looks at Shea and tells her, "Yes, I've seen your borther, Lucca. Don't worry about him, he is just fine. I've made sure of that. You see, Don Riccolai wanted so badly to kill Lucca, but I wouldn't let him. Because he not only wanted Lucca dead, but he also wanted you dead as well. So I told Don Riccolai, 'Let him live. His sister soon will come to rescue him. Then we shall have them both.' Don Riccolai soon agreed with me. For some strange reason, I went to a religious service, and realized that what I was doing was wrong. So, I turned from the evil way of Don Riccolai. But I had to leave because when he'd heard I'd double crossed him. He ordered to have me killed. I tried to get Lucca out of Don Riccolais' castle. But it was impossible. The castle was too heavily guarded. And I couldn't defeat his entire army. So I heard you were coming to save your brother, so I went off to head you off. SO I could warn you of the dangers. No, I'm not trying to keep you from going as you may be thinking. That is all I can tell you at this time. I wish I could tell you more. If you still don't trust me, then very well, I guess you'll be on the journey by yourself. Now if you please excuse me, I'm going to get some rest." As Chance walks away from the bar heading to his room he looks back at Shea hoping that she will believe his story.

Shea listened and comprehended his story. "I believe you. I shall see you in the morning then to plan our strategy, but we leave in two days." Shea goes to her room as well.
In her room she changed into her night clothes and crawls into a comfortable bed. And falls asleep.

"I'm so glad you believe me, or at least you say you do. I'll prove myself true. Thank you." Chance heads to his room where he reads his religious book "God's way to a brighter tomorrow", given to him by St. Dominick. Then he heads off to bed.

Shea awoke by the smell of breakfast scents coming in her room. Her stomach announced that she was hungry. Shea dressed for the day and went to the dining area. At the counter, she asks. "Can I have some breakfast and juice or milk to accompany that?"

Chance smells breakfast and immaturely comes running to the bar. "Ummm, what's cooking, it sure does smell good. Good morning Shea, how did you sleep? Good I hope."

*Chance helps himself to breakfast*
Little does does he know that there is a sleeping potion mixed in with his meal.
*He begins to eat, and suddenly his eyes become heavy, and he falls in to a deep sleep. To which he may never wake from*

A black-haired girl strode into the bar, after putting her albino freisan up in the barn. A small stick of willow hung from her waist, about eleven inches long. A cloak billowed about her, and she sat down at the bar. "I'll just have a tea." she told the innkeeper, ignoring the sleeping man, thinking that he was just someone who had too much ale. Nasty stuff she thought in disgust, it was so foul tasting and it smelled. The girl waited for her tea from the innkeeper.

ooc: I'm filling in for Silver1 until she comes back
The innkeeper brings the newcomer her tea. "That will be two bits please." The waitress brought out Shea and Chance's breakfast. "Five bits please."

Shea looked at the new girl. "Hi my name is Shea O' Harron. Nice to meet another girl for once." She smiled.

The girl handed her the coins, then turned to Shea. "I'm Jessiordia. Pleasure." She took a sip of tea and wrapped her cloak about her, something giving her a strange feeling... It was colder than it looked like it should be.

*Chance starts waking up and he notices his breakfast still setting in front of him. He sees the innkeeper fill-in and pays her 5 bits for breakfast.* Chance look over at Shea and says, "I shouldn't give you the whole 5 bits because you're trying to poison me." *But then he remembers the last thing Don Riccolai told him before Chance abandoned him, 'If you find the one you are to kill and decide to help her, I will kill you.' *Chance looks over at Shea with the most remorseful you ever did see and said, "Shea I'm sorry it's not your fault, please forgive me for my sudden outburst." *Chance looks around and he notices a face he's never seen before* He says, "Hi, my name is Chance, I'm sorry you had to hear that. So what is your name? Where are you travelling from and to? Will you tell us of your journey?" *Chance finally realizes he is getting annoying even to himself, so he hushes up so she may introduce herself and tell of her journey, if she wishes.*

Shea awaits Jessiordia's response. While waiting she sips her juice and looks at Chance. "Were you followed here, Chance?"

Post by Runningwolf on Jan 30, 2004 2:42:26 GMT 5
"Not that I know of. But knowing Don Riccolai as well as I do, I'm sure he has sent one of his henchmen to dispose of me. As he will do to you if he catches you." *Chance says this with an alarming look in his eyes*

She smiled at him little did he know of her. But she didn't trust him all the way to reveal her secret to him even if he was putting his life on the line. Shea nodded continuing to drink her juice but she had hardly touched her food. Maybe it was something he said or what happened to chance that made her avoid it.

Jessiordia told her name to Chance, feeling a bit strange. She hoped no one suspected her of doing this, even though all evidence pointed to it. She had come in just as it had happened, and could be involved. "I came from a place you wouldn't know, where everyone knows the secrets of magic. We were captured by an evil man, this Don Riccolai you speak of. I excaped, and have come to seek help." Her fake story that everyone would hear. She would tell no one of her true origins.

*He looks over at Jessiordia in disbelief* Chance says to Jessiordia, "I've been around many liars and I know their ways, and I know you weren't there because I know of everybody that was there because I was the Dungeon Master. You're lying and I want the truth. And I am wondering why is it so suspicious that the very moment I eat my breakfast and find out that someone has put a sleeping potion in it, you walk through the door? Tell me this. I must know. Were you involved in putting the sleeping potion in my food? Did Don Riccolai send you to eliminate me? You deceive me as you have many others. Shea, I know you don't trust me, I can feel it in the way you talk to me. But you must know, I'm not here to harm you. I have come to save you from the dangers that Don Riccolai shall send or has sent." *He says that while turning his head to Jessiordia, then he continues, but this time whispering, "I don't trust Jessiordia, I think Don Riccolai has sent her to eliminate the both of us, her stroy isn't true because I was there. So, keep an eye on her at all times, I smell evil on her, and she is hiding the truth which causes more suspicion."

Shea glanced at Jessiordia. "Is this true? Is what Chance is saying is true?" She was practically yelling the question becoming angry. Shea felt the rage within her and felt her incisors lengthen. She had not fed yet so the hunger of blood didn't help much either.
Shea didn't look at Chance but spoke to him. "Dungeon Master, eh? Why couldn't you have gotten my brother out? You had lots of power Chance."
