That is good Large one I look young but am Old almost as time itself seen too many wars too many young adventurers die before their time

Calliope runs over and hands Kiree a key. "Here you go...its up the stairs, all the way to the back and on the right, Take your meal with you." she hands him the plate of beef kabobs and sides.

fare the well

"Goodbye Draven...watch for the soldiers and the curfew!" she giggles as she loves to irritate him so, knowing full well that he is strong but more gentle than put on...

Calliope closes the shutters on the windows as the air gets brisk.

im not leaving, i was telling the stranger bye

Kiree says fare thee well large one as he heads up the stairs to go to sleep for the night

Earendur heads up the stairs to sleep also

"Well then, maybe I should drag you to a room and tuck you in!" She laughs at the thought,"I could read you a story about a warrior who won his battle with the help of his wise friends." She stares at him with her eyes gleaming, knowing full well that he will not like hearing that...heheheheheheheheeh

the minotaur picks up the halfling, test me not small one,, for i can launch you into your room from here

i do intend on standing guard tonight, in case another foul creature wants to rear their ugly head in this place

"Ahhhh, but you wont because you like me...hehehehehehe" she wriggles out of his arms and starts to run around him, then through his legs, with such great speed that Draven can not keep up with her.

She stops at the kitchen door..."Have to catch me and hold on tight." I think both you and Rathil need to get some rest. "After all, I cant keep the Inn open all night." she winks at both of them. "So see yourself out," as she attempts to shoo them on their way.

Closes the door behing them, locks up, blows the lanterns out and walks halfway up the stairs, remembers that she must bring Pan his treats...She quickly goes back to the kitchen...puts some of he kabobs in her pouch, retrieves a glass of water and proceeds back up he stairs...She opens the door to her room and Pan jumps up at her, she grabs him in midair and hugs him so..."You are the sweetest little critter" she begins to think about the orphaned children that Kiree spoke of. She falls to the floor, dragging her finger and watches Pan pounce all over the place...She plays for a bit and then pulls out the treats from her pouch and feeds them to him...She pulls him up on the bed, cradles him in her arms and falls asleep to the rumble of his little body as he purrrrsss...

XI (day 100) of the time of the sun era

The last day of the sun era begins as it begins to rain again outside the Sinatorium streets. The young barkeep opens the tavern and hangs the menu of the day.

The Menu reads: Today’s special for dark elves:

Spicy battered fried Scorpion; once you get past the fact that its scorpion, the meat is quite tender and flavorful. As a desert we serve Blood Pudding; the contents of this boiled sausage are best left undisclosed.

*************************

The many hobbits are resting in their rooms from a hard night of celebration. It will not be long before they come downstairs to continue with the celebration.

Four human warriors enter the tavern. They demand Goblin’s Brew and scowl at any who look at them.

The town is full of people from foreign lands setting up their stands and ready to sell their goods. Rides are being also set up for the children as many of those who worked at theaters are preparing for the parade.

**********************************

*Alatariel enters the inn. She is cold and weary. As she enters she notices the mess that has been created in the inn and wonders what happened. She brushes leaves and grass from her robes. She did not mean to fall asleep in the woods but it was so peaceful and quiet. She just needed a place to think.*

*As she looks around she wonders where everyone is at*

*Alatariel can not sit still so she wanders around the room picking up dirty dishes and taking them to the kitchen*

*then she comes out with a rag and starts cleaning the tables*

*thinks to herself for such small people those hobbits sure can make a big mess*

*As Alatariel looks around at the mess she sees a trail of blood that has not yet been cleaned up leading down the stairs of the inn. It leads up to a crumbled parchment laying on the floor. It seems someone had forgotten to pick it up after Barbus threw it to the ground. Even though the parchment is blood stained the name Alatariel is still able to be made out on the front of the letter.*

*she picks up the parchment when she sees her name she becomes very pale and lightheaded she sinks to the floor*

*looks around to see if anyone has entered when she was not looking*

*she begins to read the parchment*

*as she has feared it is another letter from Esane*

*and as in the last letter it gives very descriptive details of how she has killed Earendur.*

*Alatariel begins to cry*

i should have been here. what a fool he was to try to kill her. she is going to kill all of us. i must leave before i get everyone killed.

*she stands up*

No I will run no more. The only way this madness will stop is if either she or I is dead. I must kill her. The sooner the better. I am tried of losing people who so much as speak to me. No more innocents will die.

*with that she runs up the stairs to change out of her clothes that she has been in all night*

*When she reaches the top of the stairs she can see into the room where Earunder was killed. It is a huge mess however the body of Earunder is no where to be found.*


*As she is upstairs changing Rathil enters the bar and takes a seat. He waits patiently for Alatariel to return downstairs*
