Tavern Meeting

Wood sits by the fireplace waiting to be worked, A couple vintage rocking chairs sit in front of a small coffee table. Three horned male deer head hanged above the fireplace with a couple images sitting nearby it. Floors are earth based with some flat rocks dispersed near entryways to give the tavern a homing feeling. Round wood table sat a few feet behind the rocking chairs that allowed four individuals to sit.

The doors were old wood with metal handles crafted with an artists flair. Showing a twirl at the ends and a round flat ball in the middle of each handle. Looking around some more there is a stairs that leads downstairs. There doesn’t appear to be a second floor going up. The rails also had a similar artists flair to the door handles around them. A handful of windows surrounded them with wood logs covering the walls.

Jynn walks in passing them to head to the kitchen that was in another room. Faervel, Robert, and Jane sat at the table silently waiting for their host. Jynn quickly came back in with a few quarts of local brew for them. “Aric’s Run…huh…something special going on?”

Faervel takes her brew with a sip before responding “Yes, ma’am it appears to be a meeting has been called.”

“Well it is none of my business what is going on” Jynn continues “Your welcome to stay the night the maps are downstairs along with your rooms.”

Robert drops his drink down on the table to ask their hosts “We came from Joshua’s Spring any chance we can get some decent food please.”

Jynn freezes forgetting her duties as a host for a brief moment “Ah…yes I shall get right on it with some salted meat and some fresh greens for you three.” She leaves for the kitchen leaving the three alone once more.

Leaning forward in a low tone Faervel speaks “From my calculations of the terrain we should be only a week away, but will need to take a look after some food.”

Finishing her glass and burping Jane quickly excuses herself. The three begin to laugh for no apparent reason for a few minutes they rattle over things they have seen to get here. Food comes in and the three quiet down and begin to dig in.

By nightfall Robert and Jane were deep asleep too exhausted to go over the maps for the fifth time. Lights flickered on the three candles that were spread along the wood table as Faervel studied them looking for the best route to Aric’s Run. She had miscalculated on number of days she had mentioned earlier. Instead of a week away it is more like two to three days tops to Aric’s Run.

She yawned also tired from the journey. Blowing the candles out she went to her bedroom for the night. Before going to her room she noticed a light upstairs was on for a brief moment she thought, but it must have been the moon playing tricks.
