Back in business

New day, new luck. You get out of bed, your wife is still asleep. You go downstairs to the main hall and start your daily routine. Cleaning tables, washing glasses, taking inventory, then writing a shopping list for missing goods. Then you light the candles and once again the inn is brightly lit.

You do this until a voice behind you clears its throat.

"Ahem."

You flinch and turn around, startled. An all too familiar face stares back at you.

"Good morning my friend!" said Lilith, smiling.

"Someone had a good night," you say, unimpressed by her joy.

"Oh I did, believe me, I did."

Lilith grabbed her belt and rummaged around in her money bag. She put 150 gold on the table for you.

"Here's the gold I promised. So, that's the end of my time here. I have to go. Take care."

Quickly you collect the money. It's not enough to pay all your debt, but it will get you quite a bit further.

You want to turn around and thank her, but Lilith had already disappeared without a trace. Strange woman.
