Ironically no money is seen to exchange hands during all these transactions but a glace at one of the barboys shows him placing marks on a chalk board. As the trio continues their conversation in hushed tones the smell of roasting pork begins to fill the common room. With this infusion of smell, the air noticeable lightens as smoke is now being released from the room froma set of cleverly recessed windows and fans that act like an exhaust system. The main and back doors are also opened and light curtains drawn over them to allow the crisp night air to come in. As the doors are repositoined, those who care to observe notice that ten of the men, five for each door, the more martial amoung you notice that this is the number of a squad, get up and go to each of the doors. Two actually go outside and stand while the other three pull up a table directly in front of the door so that anyone entering would have to step to either side in order to enter the room proper.  Additonal tables are rearranged so as to force any woould be attackters to divide orhave to jump over tables in order to reach the now inner area of tables. This inner area now contains 9 tables. Three 6 tops, 2 eight tops and four 4 tables. The party now occupies one of the four tops located along the outer edge closed to the bar.As the room cools off and get to a comfortable level, the group takes begins to shed their cloaks reveling surcoats of rich silk surcoats over chainmain underneath. Some of the surcoats posses coats of arms upon them suck as A golden lion rampart on a rich crmison silk field, a silver sleeping lion on a royal blue field, A black horse on a crimsion field, and a silver moon transfixed by a golden sword on a black field are the more promient ones. As on moves from the center to the outer ring of men the quality or arms and armour lessen as do the surcoats which go from silk to cotton. A total count now revels close to 60 men now in the tavern brining it almost to capacity.</blockquote>
