Breaking the seal reveals a short instruction in a tight hand:At the Hidden Clearing, tell Genevieve you're there to try the boar and raven special.It's signed "IP."****The innkeeper pouts a bit when you tell her you'll be taking dinner elsewhere, but points you to the Hidden Clearing easily enough. It's just after sunset when you arrive. Made from enormous timbers, the Hidden Clearing is a long hall, open at both the front and back, filled with wooden tables and benches. Dozens of people gather here, eating, drinking, and laughing. One table of patrons even carries on with a bawdy song that seems to have most of the folk smiling.Extricating herself from a table of handsy patrons, a smiling but clearly a bit exhausted serving woman greets you."Welcome to the Clearing, folks. Genevieve," she says with a small curtsy. "New in town? You can sit anywhere ya like. Me or one of the other girls make the rounds pretty quickly."</blockquote>
