(RP) Dangerous Legacy

"Ala, calm down." Sel'Tarien says in a soothing voice, and holds Ala in his arms, "Calm down. You should rest now. We will watch over you." He looks at Sonrik, hoping to see approval.

"But Sel'Tarien! He was here! Here in this room with me! And the things....the things he said and the things I saw! I need to remember them! Please Sel'Tarien, please - you too, Sonrik, please help me remember them, please? Won't you?...."

The priestess literally babbles herself to sleep. It is a fitful sleep, but sleep nonetheless...
 


"I....." Sonrik says, "I'm not sure I know what to do." The young man's youth is showing at this point. He is not even an adult by some standards, and certainly not a priest. Though endowed with powers of faith, he cannot care for emotional wounds like this. He has little idea of what Ala speaks.

(OOC- Knowledge- Religion +1)
 

As Ala drifts off to sleep, Krueger growls a "bah" and stomps off toward his room.

Gemble slinks toward the door. "Well... um... yeah... guess my job here is done." He spouts off then trots away as well. Jaeden stands there looking on, just as clueless as the rest.
 

Hearing of Ala's actions Erlik spits upon his palm and makes the sign of protection from evil. The priestess is obviously insane and he will avoid her at all costs. Amongst his own such a person would be left to the vagaries of the Glade to live or die by the will of the ancestors, but here the soft ways of the lowlanders prevail and his own mean nought. He wonders out of the tainted inn, out on to the road and finding a comfortable corner seeks rest
 

Eventually, everyone makes their way to their rooms.

The rooms are relatively small, but very cozy and clean. The beds are comfortable and sleep comes easy. Everyone wakes with the rap of Sel'Tarien upon their doors as the dawn of the shadowed morning has nearly passed. Looking out the windows shows the town to be sound asleep, not a scrap of activity to be seen. However, you can smell freshly baked biscuits. Each of you wanders downstairs at some point ((up to you... note, Halflings don't really get up until about 9 or 10 am if they can do anything about it. The innkeepers have gotten up extra early just for you guys, even if you've slept in already a couple hours longer than you might normally have slept))

Sleepy faced halflings wander around the downstairs area setting up trays of biscuits, gravy, oatmeal, a slab of ham and a bowl of fresh fruit. When they see you, they perk up and say that they were just getting ready to bring up your breakfasts and offer you a breakfast mead. (A mostly non-alcohol beverage popular only in halfling towns... dwarves just drink ale :D))
 

Rak opens a eye and sniffs the air.... seems like breakfast is ready ...he stands up from the bed and opens the window feeling the fresh air filling his lungs.

Must wash myself... I stink!

After some minutes Rak comes down to the breakfast table surprised by that he is the first one to arrive.

He looks at the halfling that is running the breakfast preparatives and orders two biscuit and a big mugg with cold water. "do yo have some silverhead leafs?" "must get ridd of this headache "
 

Sonrik has already been up when Sel'Tarien comes to call. He woke up early, checked on Ala, and began his morning prayers. Seeing that the halfling town is coming to life, he heads down to break his fast. The gravy on the biscuits is a welcome sight, but alas, makes him think even more of his home, far away.
 

Ala awakens after Sel'Tarien's visit. She rises, performs her morning prayers as well and then wanders downstairs. Seeing the others and the halflings, she smiles a slight smile. "Good morn, all", she says, plucking a biscut from a passing halfling-borne tray.

Oddly, it seems that the priestess remembers nothing of the days past, as best you can tell by her actions.
