The Polished Staff
The valiant Constables of the Alpha Division of the Fourteenth Ward are gradually all trickling into the Polished Staff. Mattie is busy putting the finishing touches this evening's fare. She has prepared several species of freshwater fish in a variety of ways, fried, broiled, baked and she's even served some up raw to her goblin customers who are handed paper bags of raw fish and skunk cabbage through the window at the back of the tavern.

Mattie looks at the hungry Constables. "I've got some fish in beer batter or spicy corn meal batter just going into the hot oil fellows. If you'd prefer something a little lighter I've got some lovely trout in the oven with a lemon herb sauce. I don't get many lemons up here, so it is a special treat not to be missed. I've got wild rice and beans as well as a tart slaw of celery root, cabbage and assorted stalks."

SoulFetter will take the trout, along with the slaw, wild rice and beans, and a light ale.

Raul at dinner
Raul arrives for dinner, "I'll try the trout. It sounds wonderful, Mattie. " Raul get back up from his seat and goes to the bar for an ale. Upon returning to his seat, he asks the other constables, "Anybody have any interesting news?
I've heard that several city officials had cakes delivered that turned out to be made of worm filled dirt. Some people think that Thaddeous Thornapple is responsible. Any ideas on what it means or why he would do it?
Another concern here in the 14th is a trend toward younger offenders. Lads as young as 9 or 10 seem to be involved in a rash of petty crimes, mostly snatch and grab raids and pickpocketing in the 14th. As yet none have been caught. These acts seem carefully planned for a bunch of urchins."

Mattie happily serves up the food always eager to have hungry patrons. "I've a nice buttery chardonnay that should go nicely with with fish, or if you fancy something a bit less traditional I have an elven white with essence of night blooming faewold. It costs a little more, but it tis a fine fine thing, and I hear you've been doing well for yourselves of late..."
Moru Sen, human conjurer
Moru lifts an eyebrow. "I thought we were on vacation," he says with a smile. "Truthfully, I haven't heard much of anything other than the creaking of books and bubbling of cauldons. I've been brushing up back at the academy. Fascinating new tome on the nature of water..."
He stops the theoretical thaumaturgy babbling before it gets too boring, and orders up dinner. Or, at least, he starts to when a familiar chittering issues from his backpack leaned up against a nearby wall. A quick indecipherable exchange, and then, finally, Moru orders.
"The trout with lemon, please. Our stomach's a bit unsettled from ..." he shakes his head, choosing not to share. "The trout and rice. And some fruit juice of the non-fermented kind if you don't mind. I'm not on duty, but a drunk conjurer is never a good idea." Here he smiles to the rest of the group.

After a quick glance at a green verdigrised metalic stain on the floor near the bar, Mattie bypasses the other orders to get a large mug of juice for Moru. The proximity of the 'Staff to the LCA has resulted in more than one unfortunate conjuration occurring on the premises or wandering in from nearby over the years.
