[AU] Butterfly Cage

*Scinathar finishes the meal, then retreats upstairs to change before the meeting with Javdak. Once finished changing, the mojh notes that his companions have not returned from their bathes yet. Scinathar decides to take a few moments of introspection for itself and review the events of the day, particularily those in Deepstorm. Filling itself with the cold fingers of frost that accompany his new found magical ability he meditates on the images gained during his joint vision with the others. During the meditation he will try to remember any other clues that the vision may have shown them.*

"I think we were more on the northern side of the mountain, actually," Grathis says. "I didn't see much of the map, though, and I get disoriented in the mountains. Comes from growing up on the plains, I guess."
 

Sanje finishes washing himself, then returns to the inn for a fresh set of clothes. He finds a table and sits down, waiting for the others to return.
 

*After washing and dressing, Sanje sits down and is promptly asked if he wants something to eat. There's fresh bread, butter, cheese, broth, stewed vegetables, and roasted chicken with spices.*

*A few minutes after he begins eating (or declines the offer), he sees Javdak limping down the stairs.*

"Eh, hard to tell at any rate if you aren't a native, from what I hear. These mountains aren't the easiest to navigate in the first place, let alone now with everyone tromping to and fro, and all the crazy things happening," the first man says.

"And I've had about enough crazy things happening," snaps the spryte woman with the broken arm. "This is more than I signed on for. I can get easier gold and safer working conditions clearing bandits out of the woods!"
 

"Crazy things happen, and us crazy people continue to go after those," Galen says as he finishes washing and starts pulling his clothes back on. "There's always somebody who is willing to risk getting crushed by a rock in exchange for a pouch of deuces."

Galen said:
" . . . crushed by a rock in exchange for a pouch of deuces."

*Connor entered the bath area just as Galen was finishing his explanation of something. Connor smiled and ambled over to an available wash basin.*

"Hey, everyone," Connor said in greeting, "what's this about being crush by a rock for deuces? That doesn't sound very sporting?"
 

Keia said:
"Hey, everyone," Connor said in greeting, "what's this about being crush by a rock for deuces? That doesn't sound very sporting?"

"Just comparing notes," Grathis says. "Trying to figure out just why we do this sort of thing. It seems that being crushed by rock is one of the more popular pasttimes around these parts."

He vaguely gestures toward the others and their injuries.
 

"A lot of people are getting pretty tired of all of the accidents, or supposed accidents. People are saying the place is haunted, and I'm pretty much believing them. Getting gold isn't worth tumbling down a mountain, and there are some people who just want to give up," the man says, the spryte woman nodding vigorously in agreement.
 

*Scinathar finishes his meditating and changes his traveling outfit before returning to the common room. Looking across the room he spots Sanje and moves over to his table.*
 

Sanje gestures, signaling Javdak over. When he arrives at the table, Sanje says, "Greetings; the others are washing up and should return shortly. We certainly found what you're looking for, but I'll wait for Connor to give the whole report, lest I leave something out. Something to eat?"

He nods to greet Scinathar as he arrives.
