Tyson walks up to a board with many papers.   In common and goblin there are job requests, notices and gear for sale.   After checking these over, he wanders over to the bar.   He strikes up a conversation with the chicken wielding man.   After talking to him and showing him his folder of missing people, the waitress comes over and they talk also.  Zig watches with a playful smirk when he finally returns.“well….?” Zig asks playfully.“The warforged I seek was seen here a few months ago.  A local warforged hero, RAF, fought him and neither have been seen since in the swamp.   I have a possible lead to two others but…. I should go by myself.” He says quietly while sipping his drink.“Why?  Does it involve a certain waitress with a deep “v” shirt and deeper cleavage?”  Zig morphs into her but his shirt can’t contain her assets so he reverts just as quickly.“Hurrrrmmmm…… grow up.” Says the inquisitor.   “I learned of a place to maybe stay while entertaining one of YOUR passions.” He says pointing at the changeling.With a raised pale eye the chef waits.  “Sugga and Peppa” He enjoys seeing the building interest and ignores the skeleton with fluid dripping off the bones  of his neck and inside the jaw bone.  “It is an Inn nearby that also is considered one of the best local crusine restaurants.”“Let’s go!” he blurts out.“After I speak to Grotto.   As it turns out, we have a mutual friend and he will speak with me…. Alone.”Zigs sits down defeated.  “oh poo.”An hour later, they set out for the restaurant and inn.  It is run by two halflings- Sugga and Peppa.  Both are licensed under House Ghallandra. To one side is a modest long building that acts as the inn.   On the other side is a balcony and the small restaurant also known as “Sugga and Peppa’s”  A table with a shade and several chairs sits in the walkway separating the two structures.   People are encouraged to bring drinks here to relax.“We can get rooms while you go here if you wish.” Offers Tyson.   Only Zig’s smile answers before he turns and hurries to the restaurant entrance.“We don’t serve his kind.” Snarls the well dressed halfling.“Excuse me?”“The armored one.  He is not natural.  He is not welcomed here.”The red pin light of an eye flashes in a rush of emotion.  Tyson steps between them.  “He will not require a bed.  Surely we can ….”“Not good for business.  Unnatural is very bad for business.  Especially here.”It is clear the halfling has made his decision.  “I am sorry Keldrix.”“I can…. Watch from…. The hallway well…. Enough.”Unhappy with the decision, but both Tyson and Ayru agree to it.After securing the two rooms (Ayru  gets her own as being  a woman), they cross over to the restaurant.“You just have to try these Blue Claw crayfish marinated in red pepper spice.  They are soooooo good.!”The changeling has a large two large bowls before him.   One half full of crayfish and the other has empty shells.</blockquote>
