"Sorry guys, guess I fell asleep before I could tell you all about the empty beds in the empty rooms upstairs in this empty inn. I trust the floor down here was to your liking?" ![:]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png "Devious :]")
I'll take my chances with a bowl of the "thick substance" and peruse one of the books I found.

While everyone is busy gathering their belongings, Swipe works on his breakfast. the thick mash is rather bland, but filling.
The book you are holding seems to be some sort of diary, one day to a page, each page filled with rows of numbers. Some would appear to be times, others possibly amounts. EG:
July 10th
Versamber 10 min 5c mostly just talked
Etcetera. Each entry written in a flowing style and each book with a lingering smell, similar to the rooms.
Quickly perusing the other books, only one mentions Baerd, and the entry is dated over a month ago.

Tyler smiled. it took him most of the night to realise that he was never going to actually get to the back door (As the dm seems to have forgotten I exist 
)
He reads the books and laughs. "This was a brothel. The women all had rooms and the inkeeper was thier master." The young knight sinks slowly to the floor and begins eating.

"Yes," replies Vax. "I was thought ye knew, walkin right up to the place like ye did. George wasa kindly man and always treated his ladies well. That's why they was always so friendly towards him. Doted on him like a father all the time..."

"To have so many women working for him... This town must have been an important part of the trade routes around here. Is it just the snows and famine that brought it so low?" Tyler says. He has moved so close to the fire that he is almost squatting in it and yet he still looks chilled to the bone.

"Aye, it was a fine place. There were many that passed through here in Armets' prime. Why, at one time, this was afore the war mind, Armet was the very hub 'o the kingdom.
Then the war came and we was shifted from the trafficking of goods to the training of men. Out to the west 'o town there's still the barracks what housed the very first soldiers to fight in the war. Some say their ghosts still haunt the place. But that's just talk. Throughout the war we was a main training ground and places like Georges' was on every block. Not the seedy places but a place where you could go and relax. Have a drink and the attentions of a pretty lass. Was good then, too.
Then the weather began to turn. Came colder and harder the winters did, stripped the land bare. The king moved the training grounds south to warmer lands. Armet lost all her livlihoods with the comin' of the cold.
I don't blame the king though, he done what he thought was right for the men what was protecting us and, even if Armet becomes nothing but a ghost town, she'll always live in my heart and those of what knew her.
Now that's enough 'o that. Ye best be off. Ye don't leave soon, it'll be dark afore ya get there."

Tyler gets up from the fire and checks his equipment. "Prehaps we should check out the Barracks before we go any further. If it has a reputation of being haunted we may find some exuipment we can use that lay untouched by looters." It's clear that that is not why the Paladin wants to go there. He has no poker face.
