[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 6253498, member: 40413"] The evening passes with food and music and revelry if desired. Quillian entertains several young lasses on the dance floor and has a rowdy but appreciative audience when he tells his stories. He has made several new friends in this port and he knows he would be welcome to come back any time. Pirvinia's bath is in a tiny room with a large copper tub. The water is steaming and the innkeeper has thoughtfully set out a thin slice of herbal soap that fills the room with a soothing aroma when she uses it. She carries the scent with her when she returns to the common room and several heads turn as she passes. Samad, Garadh, and Tsaaruck aren't the center of as much attention as the outgoing Quillian or enchanting Pirvinia but the locals and travelers chat and occasionally refill their drinks. Goswald makes an early evening of it retreating to one of the rooms upstairs. The party continues several hours after sunset but eventually dies down: locals make their farewells and head out into the streets, patrons either retreat upstairs to their rooms or pass out with their heads on the table. And so the night passes. The next morning Goswald is up before all except Pirvinia and has ordered a hearty breakfast for everyone that is laid out and waiting as you come downstairs. The breakfast is served in a more traditional way on heavy wooden plates and is plentiful if nothing else. Goswald's eagerness to set off is obvious and he soon has everyone mounted up on their horses and ready to go. [color=tan]"We'll not be taking the Telen Pass into Tal Hallow,"[/color] begins Brother Goswald as he explains their morning travel plan. [color=tan]"That would take us too far out of the way.
