Kriv

He saw little merit in lying to the man, and even less in correcting him. He let Zhu’s summation stand unchallenged, having little desire to prolong their stay.

"So rooms for four of you? We can have two to a room. How many do you need? And how many horses are stabled?" Avgar Filroy asks. The cost was 5 gold pieces per person which includes dinner and two hot baths plus 1 gold for each horse that is stabled.

After he's answered he adds, "I will make sure to get things ready for you. While you wait, you can grab a table and have some dinner. Some of the other hunters are back now too. You'll see them inside."

With that, and no added comment about those that are missing, he turns away and gets to work ordering the help.

Zhu

She takes out the 6gp for her share and places them on the bar then looks for a table.

Kriv

The noble resolved the accountancy as was socially acceptable.

DM
There are many people present in the inn. Most are locals, woodsmen, merchants, couples and even a few families. There aren't many open tables but Zhu spots one and by some chance it's near a table around which there are a number of faces that are familiar; they were from one of the groups of hunters they had met previously but the group is smaller than earlier. There are fewer of them now.

Aubric

After the party finds a table, Aubric mentions to the others, "I'm going to buy a round for the hunters there... I think we should apologize for this morning's misunderstanding and see what we can find out about their day."

OOC: will be happy to buff anyone's persuasion rolls.

Sindar

He pays the assessed fee even though at one point in his life, that amount of gold might have fed him for months.

Walking to the table, he says, "Good idea," to Aubric.

He watches to see how things progress.

Kriv

The noble gestured deferment to Zhu, having taken point at the keep.

Zhu

She looks at the others and sighs. While she can be intimidating, oddly enough for a slight Eladrin female, and can likewise be persuasive when she puts her mind to it, it is not one of her favorite things. Glancing at Aubric she says, "I'll go talk to them", then pauses a moment if he wants to assist.

Aubric

Aubric puts a hand on Zhu's shoulder and mutters a quiet prayer to his deity.

He also arranges with the serving staff to deliver a round of beverages to the hunters.

OOC: Guidance cantrip. add 1d4 to ability check of your choice. Can be added after the check. Good for a minute but I can keep repeating it

OOC: I've been missing. My apologies, it's been crazy but I'm back.

DM

Zhu makes her way over to the table where the hunters are sitting. There are far fewer of them than there were in the morning when Arus approached them. There were nearly two dozen of them at breakfast. Now, there were just six. Their clothing, which Zindra had said was "too clean" in the morning, was far from clean now. They were stained with mud and blood. There were two large human men, one was bald and is arm was in a sling, the other had long black hair that was braided into several strands which hanged down his back. The brash, dark haired human female that spoke briefly with Arus now sat slouched in her seat with her hands resting in her lap. There was also two wood elves, a man and a woman. Both had green eyes and short brown hair. The last member of the group was female half elf.

They are all sitting there, with mugs of ale, picking at today's dinner which appears to be braised meat and roast potatoes. Zhu can tell that they're not in a great mood. ooc: passive insight used
