From humble beginnings...

In the common room

As everyone is talking, a few other bedraggled guests come down and order breakfast as well. Soon the place is well and truly active with wenches running to and fro and the barman barking orders.

It seems you were all the first to awake! Within about ten minutes of M'faro and Grenier coming downstairs, during which Manzanita and Garik joined you, the place filled with about another fifteen other guests.

They ranged from seeming to be minor nobility replete with a servent and man-at-arms, to a bunch of unkempt wildmen who huddled together and wolfed down their gruel, to numerous merchants who slowly drifted together and bargained over their sausages and mashed potatoes, to several burly men and women whose gait and empty baldrics spoke of warrior types, and lastly a man who projected serenity and calm and yet seemed to light up the room upon entering. He wore simple clothing, no better than a peasants however in good condition and clean. What made him stand out, aside from his presence, was the strange wooden symbol he wore about his neck.

Encompassed within a circle were two distinct emblems: one was a figure of eight on its side, the other was a strange cross with a loop on the top.

DM: Manzanita, you recognize the symbols (Knowledge: arcana) as being one of infinity and the other an ankh.

While thightening his cloak arround him M'faro says

Maybe we shoulde be going to our rooms, Grenier. It's getting crowdy here and we don´t want this people get scared if they see us like this.

To Manzanita and Garik

We'll check on Clete on our way up, while you look for this healer.

OCC: Did the man with the wooden symbol came from upstairs or from the street?
 

To the old man

Yeah, maybe that was me. Who want's to know?

Clete remains cautious, and keeps the door only slightly open. He takes a good look at the man

Grenier wipes some gunk out of his eye and then says.

"Good point M'faro."

He gets up and gives Manzanita and Garik a reassuring nod.

"Don't get into any trouble."

He says with a wink, then makes his way up stairs with M'faro.
 

A rare smile enters Garik's eyes as he looks up at Grenier and responds.

"What possible trouble could such as I, Garik of Zeif, get into without you?"

He gets up and offers his hand to Manzanita to assist her in also getting up.
 

To Clete

The old man responds with a smile full of relief and then asks:

"Ah, good, I'm glad I found you before you left. I'm wonderin' if you could see your way ta doin' an old man a bit of a favour, it's nothin' really, just my neice see, she lives just a little off the road to Willip. If you could be seein your way to checkin' in on her, it'd be most appreciated. She hasn't replied to my letters, see an' with the post down I'm hopin' it's just theyse got lost, see..."

He trails off but before you can answer continues in a pleading fashion.

"It'd only add a day to your travels, a half day if you be travellin' by horseback, an' I'd be most grateful, please sir?"

He awaits the reply, hope in his eyes.
 

DM: All people in the tavern at the moment, with the exception of the old man upstairs with Clete, is a guest. The front door is bolted shut.
 

Manzanita will approach the barman

Good sir. My two companions could benefit greatly from a competent cleric. You mentioned that there was one experienced w/disease staying here at the inn. I would very much like to speak to him. Can you tell me his room number, or convey our requests to him yourself?"
 

The Barman

The barman looks up from his duties and nods at your request. He comes out from behind the bar as he speaks.

"Milady, he's just over there. 'Ere, I'll introduce you."

He waddles over to the man with the strange wooden symbol.

"Mr. Eremus, 'dis here is... err... sorry, I don't remembers catchin' yer name, Miss."
 

Mr Eremus, Greetings.

Manzanita bows

I am Manzanita Sparrow. I have heard of your healing powers. Two of my companions have come down with an serious illness. Would you be so kind as to examine them, & if possible, cure their ills?
