Responding to Michael's request, the innkeeper replies, "I've bread n' cheese enough for all if you delight it sir. 'Ave it out in a jiffy. Oh, an' a bed in the common room be five pieces o' silver. My deepest apologies but the private rooms already be taken." He moves over to a small pantry behind the bar and retrieves a baker's box and large cheese wheel which he sets down upon the largest table, producing a hunk of cheese and loaf of bread for both Arden and Michael. He hands Arden her change (3 sp and 4 cp, assuming she pays for a spot in the common room as well), then heads back to the bar. He returns a few moments later with a frothy mug of dark ale. "Enjoy, lass!" he says with a wide grin.
[sblock=Spot DC 20]There is a raven perched on the rafters above you. While there is nothing particularly unusual about that in and of itself, the bird appears to be watching the door very intently.[/sblock][sblock=Skill Spoilers: Read Me]Whenever you see a spoiler block with a skill DC listed, you may roll that skill check. Special conditions may also be listed, such as "within 30 feet of the lantern" or "automatic for [character x]." If you succeed on the skill check and/or fulfill the special condition, you may read the skill spoiler. I have no way to monitor abuse, so please use the honor system. If the skill is trained only, I will try to always include a reminder to that effect with a parenthetical note. Since we are using the honor system, I don't care what method you use to roll for skill spoilers, although I would prefer you be consistent. You could even roll these skill checks at home with real dice for all I care. You are only cheating yourself of the experience if you elect to cheat.[/sblock][sblock=OOC]Other than the innkeeper, your characters are the only ones in the bar room. The other guests that the innkeeper refer to appear to have already retired.[/sblock]
