Calliope woke up and found herself dozed next to the bar. She had been working such long hours and not resting as well as she needed. She pulls herself up and sees that everyone has left. She locks the door, closes the windows and blows the candles out.

Calliope moves slowly up the stairs and retreats to her room, "Hi Pan, baaabbbbyy kitty," pulls some snacks from her pouch and places it in his bowl. "Oh Pan, I am so tired" She drops on the bed and falls asleep quickly

XI (day 7) of the time of the fall era

Adventurers who are accustomed to travel and exploring different parts of the lands sit frustrated in taverns waiting for the lord to lift the ban from leaving to and from the town’s main gates. Merchants struggle to make ends meet as they cannot travel to other towns to buy and sell new goods essential to their businesses.

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

The fifty feet tall main gate is opened for a brief moment to allow a messenger from the king to enter the town. He rides swiftly towards the lord’s manor. It has not been revealed to the inhabitants of what the news may be about as of yet.

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

Lord Elkinsinan still mourns for his daughter who is still under hostage from the mysterious rogue or rogue band that had plundered before the knights came the Wise Staff Shop, the Red Lamp’s Tavern, and the town’s treasury.

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

Boromir opens the tavern as usual in the early mornings. The rain is heavy outside and thunder and lightning follow. Winds are harsh as odd sounds are heard outside the main gates. Wolves howl as the inhabitants begin to slowly get use to the unusual sounds everyday knowing that the times of the lands are changing.

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

An elderly man with a heavy wooden walking stick enters the tavern. He only orders the meal of the day and some water. By the look of his gray robes one can see he is a historian and can give some historical events of how these lands evolved.

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

It is reported that orc camps are not far from Sinatorium. They are of a race that usually lives in the underground and where forced by the demons to live on the surface. It is rumored that the orcs have their eyes fixed on Sinatorium as a possible town to plunder and rebuild to their suitings. They are not to be trusted as Captain Bengalson sends out scouts regularly to keep an eye on them.

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

*Alatariel enters the inn*

*she is confused at how she got back to the guild*

*the last thing she remembers is setting down at the table yesterday*

*Rathil enters the inn and takes a seat behind the bar. He smiles to Alatariel as he enters.*

Hello. (she says still puzzled) have you found out anything else? Esane has been quiet lately.

I am afraid I have not. I have learned about as much as their is for right now I think. I am not sure what Esane is up to as of right now. Although I don't imagine she will be back here anytime soon. She didn't rattle people as much as she had hoped.

Hmmmm do you think she has anything to do with the goings on around here?

It's very possible. Like I said. She has employed demons to her service for many years and now we have demons rising from the underdark. It is very possible she has more on her mind than just making you suffer. If she is behind the demon rising she may be attempting to make a power play for control right now.

Hmmm then we need to get everyone in your training room as quickly as possible. And if she is behind this we need to let everyone know about her.

I do agree. Barbus was already working with a few people last night to help better prepare them. The main course starts tomorrow. Too many people are too anxious to run outside these gates and get themselves killed. I am glad there is a lockdown right now. I fear Draven is going to allow himself to run into more trouble than he can handle one day.

I agree. He is too anxious for a fight. Although I do miss my walks I am glad they are doing all they can to protect the citizens. But I fear that not even the town guards are prepared enough for what is about to happen.
