Oleg is elated that you found the ring and is confused at first at the appearance of Hiccup, but after the group explains the situation he has a stern look on his face, and appears to be weighing the option. With a grunt the proprietor nods and tells Hiccup to be up at dawn tomorrow ready for his new tasks.
"Now, as for you five. I've decided to hire on your friend Scorpius to help keep an eye on the place, hope you don't mind? Ok then, you did me a huge favor here and not just with the ring, those bandits were about to drive me out of business til you showed up. I don't have much in the way of free and clear gold right now, but I can offer your little group a 1000 gold piece credit for use here in the trading post. I can see about getting you anything you need from Restov if you give me some time." Oleg says, smiling for the first time since you saw him. "Ok then, I'm to hit the hay, Svetlana will have something special ready for you in the morning I'm sure. The guards finally got here too, but I saw you talking so I'm sure you already knew that. Ok, the guesthouse is yours if you want it" he adds, stiffling a yawn, pointing to the structure near the entrance.
You notice the guards have set up tents just south of the stable, in the shadow of the palisade.

Ok, a well deserved rest. We'll say an Extended Rest. This was a bit on the easier side for a day, in the future I'm going to require a bit more out of you before you can rest properly. So, what that means is I'd like to hit two milestones if possible before you get the Extended Rest benefit. It might take a couple in game days, but in a giant sandbox like this I think something like this has to be the case as otherwise I'd have to almost construct each encounter as a full out, near TPK battle to challenge you, or it would be a cakewalk if the party had all their resources to bear in every fight. Work for everyone?

The group finds there are four beds in the guesthouse, the bed provides decent support, if not great, but it is far better than sleeping in a bedroll.
Waking up in the morning, Svetlana has omelets ready along with fresh bread for the party. As you are eating, a slight commotion is seen a the front gate. A middle-aged man is stopped by Kesten, the other man has brown hair, traveler's clothing, a full mustache and rather horrible comb-over, that looks to be trying to cover (unsuccessfully) his balding head. The man has a longbow strapped to his back. The man points at the party, then the two continue arguing, Kesten seems to want to stop the man from entering.
