. . . and Another Begins
Abel Still comes into the Common Room from their apartment. "There are three entrances, besides the windows, to the ground floor of the inn - the main door, the storage room door, and the stairs up from the cellar (which can be entered via the stairs from the courtyard)."
At that moment, Illé Sorden and Eadon Marsh come down the stairs past Deasaigh and into the Common Room. "My ritual is at last complete. I regret I was not able to join the defense of the inn sooner, but Eadon and I are now at your disposal! If I may suggest it, the two of us are well suited to moving tables to barricade the doors, and to securing the shutters from inside as well. We could start in here, if others of you wouldn't mind guarding the windows upstairs, and working to barricade the other entrances down here. I am not well suited to fighting, I'm afraid, but Eadon should do to protect me. If we expand our defenses to the upper floors and other rooms, we can eliminate some of the enemy there and still have a place to fall back to if needed."
The other guests come downstairs as well, all except Exter Shury who is keeping watch upstairs. He shouts down "There are skeletons climbing the walls, front and back! They'll be at the windows in moments!"
Marten, Josiah, and Ditmore look much the worse for wear after their night of drinking, and probably won't be good for much besides sitting in a corner out of the way. Illé volunteers Eadon's services to look after them as well, if they can find an out of the way spot in the Common Room.
