"She cant have the baby now...it is too soon...I fear she is dreaming and this isnt healthy for her." she takes the rag from Ear, wets it and gently puts it on her forehead.

"Jericho, somehow Rathil has to find a way to save Alatariel and your unborn child and I know he will stop at nothing to do just that." sits on the table with her legs crossed cradling Alatariel in her arms rocking her back and forth

shes having it now

"Relax and sit down, Ear, this is no time to panic!" she puts her hand over his mouth to quiet him down.

not panicking just stating

"Will I have to cradle you too, silly," she smiles thinking he still has her room key

(in a small voice) calli can you get me some water? (the contractions have stopped for the moment)

"Eärendur, can you fill this glass for me?" I think we should carry her up to my room to rest. I will stay with her tonight" She moves slightly.

sure can

locking doors and carrying them up the stairs

"pick her up gently and can I have the key, so I can open the door." she looks at him and thinks, there goes my chance...giggles

"Thank you, Eärendur. You have a room right? If anything happens Ill let you know." Pan jumps up on the bed and nestles himself by alatariels feet. Say goodnight to Eärendur. "Sleep well"

Alatariel falls asleep in his arms

Calliope nods off to sleep still holding the other vial for pain just in case she needs to give it Alatariel.

Xaviour Schrykesnight the elusive warlock is still terrorizing the streets of Sinatorium. The Marshall has raised the reward to 4000 gold pieces to any who can capture him.

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

Lord Elkinsinan has raised the bar to 60,000 gold pieces to any who can save his daughter from this mysterious rogue or rogue band. He asks for any information and promises to keep it confidential to ensure safety of the individual who reports any signs of who this rogue could be.

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

Orc brigades continue to multiple 40 leagues away from the town’s gate. Scouts mention that there are about 4000 orc warriors and a dozen of siege rams in the area. It is assumed that they want to take over Sinatorium in the near future. An additional 2000 orcs have joined the already 4000 orc warriors making it a total of 6000 orcs. Lord Elkinsinan has requested more troops from the Empire hoping to get reinforcements soon.

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

Boromir opens the tavern as usual hanging up the menu of the day encouraging many to come in and enjoy a good day’s meal. The sign reads: Breaded Schnitzel served with elvin wine induced red cabbage and knoedel (bread dumplings).

*Alatariel awakens in Calliope's room. She is puzzled at how she got there. The last she remembers is falling asleep while Earedur was carrying her some where. She gets up careful not to wake the litle hobbit. And walks down the stairs*

Calliope awakes and see that Alatariel is not there. She jumps off the bed, holding her head. "Come with me Pan," she picks her cat up and carries him down the stairs.

"Oh there you are, Alatariel! I came down as quickly as possible. Pan starts, "Meow, Meow, Meow, I think he likes you" she changes the subject. "You were having a bad time of it last night. the whole lot of us in the tavern last night were worried. You were having some kind of nightmare."

I think I like Pan too. *scratches the cat on the head*
I am afraid it was no nightmare but false labor. I am afraid that the baby will be here before we know it. Rathil and i figure that do to the rapid progression I am approximately * montha along.

"I had a bad feeling about that, when I felt your belly last time. You are starting to show over night, it appears"

"I see Boromir was in early." She looks over at the slate on the wall. "He has me cooking some interesting things as of late." She begins to snicker.

MENU OF THE DAY

Breaded Schnitzel, served with elvin wine
Induced red cabbage
Knoedel (bread dumplings)

That he does. But I am afraid I will not be able to stay while the cabbage is cooking. It makes sick enough when I am not pregnant.
