Tessa, having finished her mopping, has left the tavern. The half-elven youths sit together at a table, eating a supper of cold meat, hard bread, and cheese. A dwarf whose face is a maze of scars from which a scraggly beard sprouts like weeds breaking out of rocky soil is at work building a chair to replace the one the marauder broke.

((To clarify the timeframe, is this a supper that they're having soon after the majority of the party went up to their rooms?))

Not long after. They finished the cleaning they were doing then, and now they're having their supper.

Gallifreya opens her eyes to a unfamiliar room

((Optima, I'm gonna take some liberties with your room here. Feel free to correct me on anything I get wrong ( ... )

Upon entering the common room, Toben notices, in addition to the half-elves having their supper, and the dwarf working on a chair, Spectre standing motionless beside a table not far from the bar. After a few seconds, Spectre seems to notice him as well. He turns his head and raises his arm in greeting.

"Hello, Toben. Good to see you conscious. How are you feeling?"

Re: Unfamiliar Ceiling luke_licens August 24 2010, 06:17:56 UTC

Toben pulls up a chair at Spectre's table and leans his staff against it.

"I've a hangover fit for a victory celebration, though I don't seem to recall one. The fact that I'm talking to you as opposed to spiraling in tiny pieces across the Elemental Chaos implies that things at the rift didn't turn out too badly. Carrog's state in the hallway was rather less informative. Did you make it in time to help the boy? Was it a triumphal toast or a wake that I missed?"

"The boy was cured, thanks to Janus and Harlan's expert ministrations. As for the rift, you would have to ask Optima for the details. The drinking, I judged, to be a mix of triumph and stress," Spectre replies curtly, in his usual deep, monotone. Without stopping for breath, or anything else, he continues.

"The inn has departed Malrovia for parts unknown. Tessa, the human female denizen of the inn- you met her when we first arrived- has informed us that we have been pressed into her service for the purpose of collecting small green crystals, like those found in the quarry, and bringing them into the inn. Tessa calls the crystals 'reality shards' and believes that they are 'really sort of dangerous'." Spectre pauses briefly. "I believe those are the salient facts," he concludes.

"Perhaps you should have a drink of water. I have heard that can help hangovers, perhaps even those caused by rift-sealing accidents."

Carrog's easy to find, albeit not terribly sociable: he's presently passed out in the hallway just outside his room. His upper body leans against the doorframe and keeps the door itself partially open, while his legs are sprawled across the hall floor, making it (at best) entertaining to get past him.

Gallifreya stubbles out of the room she was occuping looking fuzzly around noticing Carrog on the floor she prodes him with her foot.

Re: Awake and unhappy stormcaller3801 August 24 2010, 17:17:47 UTC

Murmuring a wordless complaint, Carrog slowly opens his eyes, staring upwards. Then he shuts them again, tilts his head towards Gallifreya, and opens the nearest one to stare at her inquiringly.

Re: Awake and unhappy gamingdragon August 24 2010, 17:19:56 UTC

"Are we still alive?" Gallifreya asks

Re: Awake and unhappy stormcaller3801 August 24 2010, 18:00:19 UTC

"Mnh." The goliath manages to get both eyes open, swallows once, and then sighs deeply. Then he manages a puzzled look. "Actually- I don't know. We can't leave, the world disappeared, and they won't take our money. But the drinks are free. I've never died before. Maybe this is what it's like."
