Some go, some stay.

"I think we should start fresh in the morning," Hanna said.

"Pah!" Ria scoffed. "We should go now."

"I agree with Ria," Brudd said. "We can go now and go again in the morning!"

Denni eyed a group of buxom women in scant clothing walking into the tavern. "I'm with Hanna," Denni said. "I'd rather see what else this town has to offer before we strike out into the wilderness."

Brudd saw where Denni's attention had wandered. "Denni makes a good point," he said. "I have changed my mind. I will stay here tonight. Perhaps we will find some revelry!"

"I could use some rest after the journey," Josk admitted.

"Looks like it's just you and me, Ria," Karn said. The young sorcerer flashed Ria a cunning grin, making her shift uncomfortably.

Yolna saw the brief exchange between Karn and Ria. "I'll go with the two of you," she said. "You'll need more warriors in orc territory."

Ria caught Yolna's eye and quickly mouthed "thank you" to the blonde spearmaiden.

"Alright," Josk said. "Be safe out there. We meet back at this tavern in two days time."

"Have a good rest," Ria said in a playfully condescending tone.

"Have a good hunt," Josk said. His tone was sincere.
