[QUOTE="PHDungeon, post: 5176098, member: 86320"] This journal is from Bjorn, but takes place prior to the heroes venturing into the Underdark and getting trapped in the Hateful Halls. We have played another session since Derren's death that takes place in this nasty dungeon and features the most diabolical trap I have ever designed for a dungeon, so I'm hoping for journal entries regarding that session in the near future (as it was probably the most enjoyable game session I've run since my players fought Demogorgon at the end of of Savage Tide). Bjorn 17 A most interesting and illuminating evening. Bella asked me to join her for dinner at a local inn, she asked me to come alone as there were some things she wished to discuss. She recommended an inn, one of the better ones in town, and we agreed on a time. Given recent developments I was not sure what to expect and as construction on the temple has nearly been completed. I decided it would be a good time to move from the grounds. With that in mind I went early to the inn to secure a room, it would also allow me to check out the surroundings before our meeting. The inn is actually quite comfortable, the bedding recently changed and the fellow guests looked to be skilled craftspeople. With the siege broken and the rebuilding going on there has been an influx of highly skilled masters and their apprentices. This inn obviously catered to the Craft Masters. As I was a little early after settling into my room and decided to head down to the dining area. This inn had both a common room and an area for dining an unusual feature for the inns in town, I can see why Bella recommended it. The cellar was surprisingly well stocked given the recent events in town. Not as extensive as it might otherwise been but a good selection none the less. I ordered a drink and waited for Bella to arrive. I was glad I had arrived early as we might not have got a table otherwise. The proprietor had earlier informed me they did not take reservations, as why turn away ready coin in favour of coin that may or may not turn up. The fact that the dining room was busy spoke well of the fare we were to enjoy this evening. The night's menu was a choice of either mutton stew or roast boar served with winter apples, spring greens, and fresh bread. Bella arrived shortly after my drink. The room was busy, but not an eye did not follow her progress through it. I saw more than on fellow get a kick under the table from the woman he was with. After Bella was seated the conversation in the room picked up again, and the serving girl approached the table and took Bella's drink order. Bella's order arrived quickly and we placed our dinned order. Both of us decided on the Boar. Our conversation started with our companions. We talked initially about the Androsax siblings. I stated that I was uncomfortable travelling with such a young girl into the situations that we often found ourselves, and if Darren was not with us she would have to be returned to her family.
