Hmmm that's strange. No one seems to be around.

*Alatariel is in such pain that she leaves the inn and heads back to the guild to lay down*

Calliope hears a voice, but by the time she makes it from the kitchen they are gone.

"Darn, I have to find someone to help Draven" she says to herself.

(Hello one and all, I just wanted to inform people who didn't know that if people want to game on, I am doing E-mail solo adventures in Avolon now to try to help fill the void of John being gone.)

((Thanks Josh, Everyone. Josh is a very brilliant man and has created an excellent Game with Avolon. I played in it before and it was a lot of fun. I know that John was running email adventures before but because of my time contraints with work and writing this new game to run in Johns absense I will not be able to run solo email adventures. So if that is more the style that you are looking for. And I know some people have approached me about this. Josh's game may be a good fit for you.

Now this isn't to say that I want you to leave but I understand that some people have different play styles. So if you do go to make a character for Josh's game I would still like it if you kept your Sinatorium character and visited us in the Inn. I just want to make sure players are having fun and enjoying themselves. Thank you for all the patience and understanding you have provided us in this transition period, and remember that the new game starts tonight! Hope to see you there.

Alatariel returns to the inn. There is to much commotion going on at the guild. She goes into the kitchen to see if Calliope is there.

*A flash of red light comes through the front of the Inn and even from the back Alatariel can feel the intense heat. She hears a loud hissing noise coming from the front followed by Rathil saying,*

Look, I don't care Ezrikai. Normally after that I would say you owed me but I will settle for us being even now.

*That is followed by a few more hisses and gurgles and you hear Rathil laugh*

Fair enough my friend. I expect a much warmer welcome the next time I come to visit you.

*With that there is a loud sizzling sound and the temperature returns to normal.*

Such a grand entrance Rathil. (Alatariel says as she comes back from the kitchen)

*As she comes back into the front she sees Rathil is covered in some sort of greenish goo. His vest is ripped to shreds and his right pant leg has been torn. There is a large gash in his right leg that is still bleeding. He has a slight limp as he walks over and grabs a bottle of liquor and takes a drink. He doesn't sit to avoid getting ooze all over the place.*

*He winks at Alatariel*

The only type of entrance I do well

(smiles then notices his limp) Oh Rathil you are hurt (she says as she walks over to the bar) Oh and you stink too(she holds her nose)

*Rathil looks down at his leg*

Hummm, so I am. It looks a lot better than it did an hour ago. Should be fixed up soon I would imagine, and yes quite a bad stink. I apologize for that. He limps into the back room and gets a rag from where the dishes are washed. He starts trying to clean off as much of the ooze as possible.

*He calls out from the back room to Alatariel*

Did that potion help you at all? You seem to be feeling at least a little better this morning

Calliope stands up from behind a bushel and sees Rathil,"Hi Rathil, Oh my god, what is that horrible smell...go, git, you come in here with all this fine smelling food." she holds her nose.

*Smiles at the hobbit*

I couldn't help that. The vortex reopens wherever it was originally used.

She sees him limping, "What happened now? She sees his leg and remembers Draven.

"Alatariel, Draven was in last night and didnt feel well. I thought he was looking for attention, but when Heavenstone and I heard a loud thump, we ran upstairs and saw Draven on the floor convulsing. I reopened his wounds, cleaned and cauterized it again, but Im afraid that he is in a coma or something." I stayed with him all night.

She grabs the rag from him and looks at the wound.

Nothing too horrible, *Rathil says regarding the leg*

Ezrikai wouldn't help me unless I did a small favor for him. He didn't mention the big beast guarding the entrance. Never trust a demon I guess.

"You silly brut. I swear, if your leg wasnt hurt, I would kick you myself. You cant trust anyone but your friends. Remember that!!!" she gives him a mean look.

"Alatariel, I want you to come and check on Draven, please"

*As she looks at the wound she is surprised to see that the leg is apparantly mending itself. The bleeding has completely stopped now and the skin almost looks like it is sewing itself back together. It is nothing Calliope has ever seen before.*

"Wow, that is amazing. How can you do that?" her eyes light up.

*Rathil, still cleaning his cloths looks up and sees the hobbit staring at his wound.*

Oh! That

*Holds up his hand and shows her a silver ring he is wearing*

Ring of regeneration. As long as I am still alive the ring will mend any wound. Even regrow lost limbs.
