Keryth, Byntrou:
The trio is able to make the journey from Great Bend back to Theropa, and even remember how to get to the Rusty Anchor. Stepping into the tavern, Dahlia spots Keryth and runs over to great him. She appears ready to jump on him and hug him in safe return, but she stops just short and a look appears on her face that she just realized that Keryth may have found another.
Varius, Eion:
[Sblock=OOC]Not to be blunt or anything .... nor metagame, of course
....
But if Varius and Eion are looking to join up with the other two, now would be an excellent time. If you are willing to work with me in bringing the plot lines together, here's what I suggest: a bit of a cut scene forward.
Should Eion and Varius be so inclined once they have made sure the area was secure ... if asked Bellana would eagerly recommend dining at an inn called the Rusty Anchor. In fact, she would heartily recommend asking to be waited on by a woman named Dahlia if she is on shift for the night.
If you two are amicable to the cut scene, I'd be happy to advance the plot line forward, assume that the farm has been secured, assume that Bellana has given her recommendation, and assume that Eion and Varius were able to find their way.[/Sblock]

Byntrou, Keryth:
[Sblock=OOC]I'm bringing the other group into your timeframe and to the Rusty Anchor, but your timeframe still isn't quite the same. So don't try to interact with them yet. In their timeframe they are arriving at the Rusty Anchor. But in your timeframe they haven't gotten there yet. Once we get past the RP with Dahlia and the party gets into your meal we'll synchronize the parties.
I know that Fenris is going to be away for the next few days (till Monday/Tuesday) so there is no particular need to rush through the interaction with Dahlia unless you all want to.[/Sblock]
Her momentum spent, Dahlia rather chooses to fall into Keryth's outstretched arms and greets himwith a strong kiss on the cheek. "I knew that you would return for me! And, you've brought back ... wait. One of you is missing. The big one?"
Varius, Eion:
[Sblock=OOC]Well, since Fenris was amicable to the idea and Rino was on about 6 hours ago and didn't post any objections, we're running with the plan.
Note, your timeframe isn't quite simultaneous with the other group yet, so don't try to interact with them.[/Sblock]
The Rusty Anchor looks like a rather typical tavern or inn. From the outside, the place looks to be well kept up and respectable. On the inside, the tables are clean, but there is evidence tat it is not too uncommon for there to be a fight or two break out.
A young woman - presumably the hostess - approaches Eion and Varius and smiles. "Two, sirs? Would you prefer a table in the center of the room or a both along one of the walls?"
There is one waitress and two waiters working the room, in case either Varius or Eion are curious. Each of the waitstaff appears to be in good physical condition and well kept and clean.

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric
Enfolding Dahlia in his arms, Keryth hugs her tightly, kissing her on the cheek as well as he releases her, still grinning. “Ah, it’s good to see you again Dahlia. Yes, Bahruul has headed off on his own journey. We were all sad to see him go, but I fear Byntrou is feeling his departure a little more strongly than the rest of us. So do you think you might be able to find us a quiet corner, where we can raise a mug or two in the big one’s honour, my dear?”

Byntrou, Keryth:
Dahlia nods. "I can even show you a corner in which I'll be the one serving on you." She winks and smiles, leading the party to a secluded corner booth. There is a hostess standing off to the side who looked a bit put out at first, but seemed to come to peace once Keryth and Dahlia demonstrate a prior history. "Drinks tonight?"

Dahlia nods, "Ales around ... and an order of the chef's beef stew with biscuits. He's outdone himself tonight. The biscuits lay on top of the stew with perfection, soaking the flavor of the stew into the bread on top."
