ooc: The knots for Caridoc's morningstar are not too complicated. Will he re-tie it in the morning?
[sblock=Rezak]In the street, heading to the other inn, you can't shake the feeling that you are being watched, but no one harrasses you. I assume you take an indirect route, hoping to throw off any snoopers.[/sblock]
The night passes without incident.
The next morning at the Tea Rex, the four of you who stayed at the inn make your way downstairs to the dining room for breakfast. This turns out to consist of muffins, apples, and apple juice. It is included in the price of the room if you eat early enough, which you are.
The room is nearly empty, as most of the guests went to bed late and are sleeping off last night's excesses. A cat stalks something in the corner of the room. A young woman sweeps last night’s dinner off the floor, and banters with an older man who you gather is her father, the innkeeper. From the back comes the clicking of dishes and the splash of water. A traveller snores loudly in the corner.
Suddenly, the door swings open and an elderly lady frantically looks about.
“Please, some kind sir, come quick to help me!” she pleads, panic overcoming her. She looks about for anyone to answer her. “Oh save me! There are demons in my house!
I know it! I hear them at night, talking to each other in my cellar. They want to catch me. Please!” she says, falling to her knees.
The innkeeper rushes to kneel beside the old woman, and tries to comfort her. "Goodwife Thanato" he says, sounding concerned “what are you doing? Sit down proper.”
He turns, saying, “Could anyone help this poor old woman? Could anyone look in her cellar to find the problem?"
