[19:55] <+Lars_Revik> ::Looking into the common room.. Lars makes his way to the place occupied by his friends.. ::
[19:56] <.Bynw[GM]> *around dinner time the common room is rather full ... people enjoying the evening since the sun wont set in the summer until later - and of course the food at the inn is the best in town.*
[19:56] * +James heads over to his comrades.
[19:56] <+Lars_Revik> (( sun set is around 7:30/8 oclock then? ))
[19:57] * +Kanax hands his sealed letter to a serving girl, and asks that it go out with the morning mail.

[19:57] <+Lars_Revik> "hello James" :: Lars says upon seeing James ::

[19:59] <+Lars_Revik> :: Lars nods to those seated at the table ::
[19:59] * +Kanax nods, and turns to his companions, his bottle of spirits safely stowed away, but a well filled mug of it before him.

[20:00] <+T_Shaw> "Engaging, enlightening, and fruitful, Bredock."
[20:00] <+James> "Light ale here, please"
[20:01] <+Bredock> "HOneymead please"
[20:01] <+T_Shaw> "A glass of red wine, please."
[20:02] <+Lars_Revik> "So, how are you all?" Lars says to begin conversation.
[20:02] <+James> "I'm good . . . and Rufus had a good meal."
[20:02] <+Atrina> "rested and refreshed.  How about you?"
[20:02] <+Kanax> "Passable, lad.  Passable."
[20:02] <+Bredock> "Fin fine, and you?"
[20:02] * +Lars_Revik nods
[20:03] <.Bynw[GM]> *the drinks are brought within a reasonable timespam and the meal is served soon afterwards*
[20:03] <+Lars_Revik> "I feel better than I have in days"
[20:03] <+Lars_Revik> :: Lars lets out a slight smile. ::
[20:04] * +Atrina starts eating when the food arrives
[20:04] * +Lars_Revik smoothes his now clean hair back.. after bathing.. his hair has a bright sheen to it.
[20:04] * +Bredock starts to cut and eat his food
[20:04] <+Lars_Revik> "The food is rather good here, is it not?"
[20:05] <+Bredock> "Aye"
[20:05] * +T_Shaw nods between bites
[20:05] * +James nods
[20:05] <+Lars_Revik> ::Lars only sits and drinks his beer as everyone else eats::
[20:05] <+Kanax> "Best in the region"
[20:05] <+Lars_Revik> "Aye,,, I ate in my room, take your time"
[20:05] <+T_Shaw> "And certainly better than trail rations."
[20:06] <+Lars_Revik> "That much is true, Master Shaw." 
[20:06] <+James> "I like Hutton's Rest.  It's like a beacon of light and life shining in the face of the coming storm."
[20:06] <+Atrina> "aye"
[20:07] <+Lars_Revik> "Thats a bold statement, James.. but, well said."
[20:07] <.Bynw[GM]> *a serving girl comes over to the table and sets down a very large fruit pie for the table*
[20:07] * +Lars_Revik grins at James.
[20:08] <+Lars_Revik> :: Lars lets out a small burp, with his hand over his mouth, and hands his empty mug to the serving girl for a refill.
[20:08] * +Bredock finishes his dinner and gets into the pie
[20:09] * +Kanax checks out the fruit pie, and quickly decides to partake
[20:09] <+James> "That pie looks excellent."
[20:10] * +Bredock says, in between bites, "It is"
[20:10] * +Lars_Revik raises an eyebrow, and with a smirk on his face, looks around the table.
[20:11] <+Lars_Revik> "Has anyone seen Nym?"
[20:11] <+Bredock> not for awhile
[20:11] <+T_Shaw> "Quite a few people I imagine, Lars." :: smiles ::
[20:11] <.Bynw[GM]> *the commonroom has a mix of peoples, more are human there are a few dwarves and those of elven blood as well within the area*
[20:12] <+Lars_Revik> ::Lars lets out a sigh:: "I know that things seem good.. but we need to begin to get back to reality.. we have a mission.
[20:12] <+Lars_Revik> "
[20:12] * +Lars_Revik peers at James and Kanax.
[20:13] * +Kanax looks up from eating his pie, "Wha?"
[20:13] <.Bynw[GM]> *while the group eats there is a sound of the village bell being rung from the local church ... one, two, three rings before it stops*
[20:13] * +Lars_Revik frowns at Kanax.
[20:14] <+James> "Three rings?"
[20:14] <+James> "Trouble?"
[20:14] <+Lars_Revik> "I think the town is closing down for the night..."
[20:14] <+T_Shaw> "Odd. The hour is later, so there might be something else afoot."
[20:14] <+James> "Okay"
[20:14] <.Bynw[GM]> *few patrons look up for a moment then go about their dinners*
* Retrieving #Teara-Adan modes...
[20:14] <+James> "Well, the crowd doesn't seem worried."
[20:14] * Bynw[GM] sets mode: +m
[20:15] <+T_Shaw> "Aye, James."
[20:15] <+Kanax> "The gates are closing."
[20:15] <+Kanax> "It happens every night."
[20:15] <+Lars_Revik> "I think this should be our last night here..we need to get back on track. We don't have the luxury of time."
[20:15] <+James> "Yes, we'll be traveling again tomorrow."
[20:15] * +Lars_Revik looks at everyone with a bit of chagrin.
[20:16] <+Lars_Revik> "I only hope we havent been bested by taking this repast, James."
[20:16] <+T_Shaw> "We will know soon enough, Lars."
[20:16] * +Lars_Revik picks up his mug and drinks deeply.
[20:17] <+Kanax> "It has to be done.  If we'd continued on the road, we'd spend every night in the forest.  It's the way Einar is designed."
[20:17] <+Lars_Revik> "I hope your foresite is in our favor, Master Shaw" Lars says as he takes the mug from his mouth.
[20:17] <+Lars_Revik> (( foresight ))
[20:18] <+James> "Lars, you're awful gloomy.  You didn't have a vision of your own, have you?"
[20:18] * +Atrina is sitting there quietly and seems preoccupied
[20:18] <.Bynw[GM]> *Lyle comes up to the table and haves a seat next to Kanax*
[20:18] * +Lars_Revik looks at James
[20:18] <+Kanax> "Have a good nap, old friend?"
[20:18] <+T_Shaw> "I do not fear or worry about the future, Lars. What happens happens."
[20:19] <+Lars_Revik> "James.. when you understand the world like I do.. nothing ever seems bright."
[20:19] <.Bynw[GM]> *Lyle* "Aye ... Like the pie?"
[20:19] <+T_Shaw> "We will be ready to face the common foe."
[20:19] <+Lars_Revik> :: Lars looks at Master Shaw, but says nothing ::
[20:20] <+Kanax> "It's wonderful."
[20:20] <+James> "Yes it is, Lyle.  Thank you."
[20:20] <.Bynw[GM]> "good good" *He says before getting up and moving over to other tables*
[20:20] <+Bredock> "Thank you kind sir"
[20:20] * +Lars_Revik gives a grin to Lyle
[20:21] <+Lars_Revik> "Hello Mister Lyle"
[20:21] <+Lars_Revik> ::Lars raises his mug to Lyle in salute::
[20:22] * +T_Shaw raises glass to Lyle in salute
[20:22] <+Atrina> ((yay))
[20:22] * Bynw[GM] sets mode: +v Kagi_semi-here
[20:23] <+Lars_Revik> "Thanks for the hospitality, Lyle.. you run a good place here"
[20:23] <+Kagi_semi-here> 'ello 
[20:23] * Kagi_semi-here is now known as _Kagi_
[20:23] <+_Kagi_> Sorry I'm late but I almost didn't make it 
[20:23] <+Lars_Revik> "Next time though, let me pick my own drinks" ::Lars winks at Lyle::
[20:23] <+Atrina> ((better late than never   ))
[20:24] * _Kagi_ is now known as Nym_Gibran
[20:24] <+Lars_Revik> (( Come on down to the dinner table, Nym ))
[20:24] <.Bynw[GM]> (( dont forget to use (( )) for OOC chat ))
[20:24] <+T_Shaw> "Master Nym. It is good to see you again."
[20:24] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Enters the common room and takes a seat at tthe table:: 
[20:24] <+Lars_Revik> "Welcome, Lord Nym"
[20:24] <+James> "Good evening, Nym."
[20:24] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Nods to the group:: 
[20:25] <+Nym_Gibran> ?? what time of day is it?? 
[20:25] <+Bredock> "Good evening"
[20:25] <.Bynw[GM]> (( see pm ))
[20:25] * +Atrina nods to Nym and says "hello Nym. I trust you had a good rest"
[20:25] <+Lars_Revik> "Nym, I was just saying to everyone.. we should get back to our mission soon.. tomorrow morning at best, if its your will."
[20:26] <+Bredock> it free?
[20:26] <+Bredock> ((sorry))
[20:26] <+Bredock> "I agree with Lars"
[20:26] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Nods:: "I'd say that's for the best we shouldn't give up the time we saved by not going to Polaris" 
[20:26] * +Lars_Revik nods to Nym
[20:26] <+Bredock> "From what you guys have said and done, this is a very urgent situation"
[20:27] <+James> "Agreed."
[20:27] <+Atrina> "aye"
[20:27] <+Atrina> "is everyone going to be here for a while still?"
[20:27] <+Nym_Gibran> "Master sailor Bredock, this is the adventure to end all." 
[20:27] * +Lars_Revik nods to Atrina
[20:28] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Nods:: "For a bit, but I plan on retiring early." 
[20:28] * +Atrina gets up from the table. "I will return shortly then."
[20:28] <+Lars_Revik> "Nym..." ::Lars looks at Nym very seriously::
[20:28] * +Atrina goes back to her room
[20:28] <+Bredock> "Its better than being an escort for trading ships"
[20:29] <+Nym_Gibran> "Yes, what's on your mind lars?" 
[20:30] <+Lars_Revik> "Lord Nym.. once you have satisfied yourself with dinner.. we need to talk, privately."
[20:30] <+Atrina> d20+9
[20:30] <+Atrina> @roll d20+9
[20:30] <@BoxCars> Atrina: 1d20+9 = ( 1+9 ) = 10
[20:30] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Nods again to Lars:: 
[20:30] <+Nym_Gibran> ??what's for dinner?? 
[20:31] <+Lars_Revik> !! I had leg of lamb !!
[20:31] <.Bynw[GM]> (( lamb, deer, beef, pork ))
[20:32] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Makes up a large plate of lamb and any veggies that maybe avaliable:: 
[20:33] * +Lars_Revik orders another beer.
[20:33] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Around a mouthful of food, lowering his voice:: "Everyone saw the same vision today when we entered the village right?" 
[20:34] * +Kanax raises an eyebrow, "When we entered the village?"
[20:34] * +Atrina enters the common room again and heads for the table again
[20:34] * +Lars_Revik looks at Nym questioningly.
[20:34] <+Lars_Revik> ::Lars stands up when the lady returns::
[20:35] <+Atrina> "Thank you Lars"
[20:35] * +Atrina smiles
[20:35] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Looks about to emphasize the other people in the common room and lowers his voice:: "The river, flowed to this village and stopped." 
[20:35] * +Lars_Revik nods at Atrina
[20:35] <+James> "Yes, I saw that."
[20:35] * +Atrina responds quietly as she sits down "aye, I noticed it"
[20:35] * +Lars_Revik sits back down
[20:36] <+Nym_Gibran> "It started when the Ward went up last night." 
[20:36] * +T_Shaw nods to Nym.
[20:36] <+James> "Yes."
[20:36] <+Atrina> "what do you mean?"
[20:36] <+Lars_Revik> "Well, what does it mean, Nym?"
[20:36] <+Kanax> "Oh, that."  He frowns, and mumbles, "aye"
[20:36] <+Nym_Gibran> "I think the priests couldn't get through the ward. That is why they left." 
[20:36] * +Lars_Revik speaks in a lowered voice now.
[20:37] <+Nym_Gibran> "I think the vision is a warning that they will be here tonight." 
[20:37] <+Atrina> "I would like to know why it stops at the village though"
[20:37] <+Lars_Revik> "Then we should be on the ready."
*** Failed OPER attempt by xbot (~chatzilla@pool232.dial4-clec.noc.win.net) [No Such Oper, whatsmypasword]
[20:37] * +Lars_Revik sips on his beer
[20:37] <+T_Shaw> "Maybe the village is protected somehow."
[20:37] <+Bredock> "I'll take a watch
[20:37] <+Kanax> "As will I."
[20:38] <+T_Shaw> "Count me in."
[20:38] <+Atrina> "I have rested enough now.  I can take a watch also"
[20:38] <+Lars_Revik> "I will join you, Kanax."
[20:38] <+Nym_Gibran> "if it was protected the river would have flowed on after it, see what I mean?" 
[20:38] <+Nym_Gibran> "Wait." 
[20:38] <+Lars_Revik> "Its like the river is pointing to it, eh?"
[20:39] <+Nym_Gibran> "If we scare them away they may take it out on others, like last night." 
[20:39] <+Lars_Revik> "You want to chance sacrificing the village, Nym?"
[20:39] <+Nym_Gibran> "Absolutly not, Lars." 
[20:40] <+Nym_Gibran> "I suggest a trap." 
[20:40] <+Lars_Revik> "Then tell me more"
[20:40] * +Atrina listens intently "oh?"
[20:40] <+Bredock> "Interesting plan""
[20:41] * +James listens in silence.
[20:41] * +Kanax listens
[20:41] * +T_Shaw listens intently
[20:41] <+Nym_Gibran> "I'm not sure on how to go about it though, I'm open to ideas. The animals in this village will tell us if robed men enter the village. I suspect they will teleport in again." 
[20:42] <+Nym_Gibran> "And out if we don't catch them uickly." 
[20:42] <+Atrina> "aye.  That is true"
[20:42] <+Atrina> "Kanax, have they entered this or other villages before?"
[20:42] <+Nym_Gibran> "I further suspect they will come to the inn, they must know it is the only place for us to camp in the village." 
[20:43] <+Kanax> "I've heard no reports."
[20:43] <+Atrina> "and yet they have attacked travellers on the road and in the forest"
[20:43] <+T_Shaw> "Master Nym, what if the village is the trap?"
[20:44] <+Atrina> "I don't think that is likely, Master Shaw"
[20:44] <+Atrina> "I think there is something that protects all the villages in Einar"
[20:44] <+Lars_Revik> "Then let us make our beds as if we were in them.. and wait in a place to attack them when they become confused Nym."
[20:45] <+T_Shaw> "I wouldn't be so sure, Atrina. What do hunters use to trap their game? Attractive bait."
[20:45] <+Atrina> "I am just curious and wondering why none of the villages have been attacked.  Even the last one we were in"
[20:46] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Nods to Lars:: "A steady plan, but we must protect the others in the Inn." 
[20:46] <+James> "Yes, we must do that."
[20:46] <+Kanax> "Lass, if there were something that protected the villages, they wouldn't need walls to keep the forest out at night."
[20:46] <+Lars_Revik> "Our attack must be decisive.. we should tell Lyle of it"
[20:46] <+Nym_Gibran> ::looks to Atrina:: "Maybe it's just too risky for them, until now." 
[20:47] <+Atrina> "that may be the case.  We can prepare the best we can to save as many lives as possible"
[20:47] <+Lars_Revik> "Let Lyle remove the other occupants.. and we can kill them at will"
[20:47] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Shakes his head at Lars:: "NO! Lars they would turn us out." 
[20:47] <+T_Shaw> "Master Nym, if I could arrange to have an archer watching outside the Inn, would that help protect the village and us?"
[20:47] <+Lars_Revik> "Can you be sure of that, Nym?"
[20:47] <+Nym_Gibran> "We can't panic the village." 
[20:48] <+Lars_Revik> "We cant alert the whole village.. they are safe anyways.. its this place thats in danger."
[20:48] <+Nym_Gibran> "No I guess I'm not Lars, Kanax what do you think?" 
[20:48] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Looks to Kanax:: 
[20:49] <+Nym_Gibran> "I purpose that all but one of us wait outside Master Shaw. One of us will be the bait." 
[20:49] <+Lars_Revik> "They know where we are. They wont attack the innocents, unless they want the town militia plus us after them at once."
[20:50] * +Kanax shakes his head, "We shouldn't alert them. We can handle this ourselves."
[20:50] <+Nym_Gibran> ::To Lars:: "They will come fast and lave faster." 
[20:50] * +Lars_Revik nods at Kanax, then looks at Nym
[20:50] <+T_Shaw> "Kanax raises a good point. If the villagers know, they may change their behavior, which could be a tip-off."
[20:50] <+Nym_Gibran> "Can we get everyone under a Ward?" 
[20:50] <+Lars_Revik> "Thats why I propose we make it so.. and hit them in their confusion for looking for us here , in the inn."
[20:51] <+Kanax> No, the Ward is another tipoff
[20:51] <+Atrina> "not a good idea.  There may well be other deryni at this inn who will wonder what is going on"
[20:51] <+Lars_Revik> "This is going to have to be a full on fight.. we cant let them escape."
[20:51] <+Atrina> "agreed Kanax"
[20:51] <+Nym_Gibran> "I think Lars has a good plan." 
[20:51] <.Bynw[GM]> *the common room starts emptying out around 9pm ... though there are always some people within it*
[20:52] <+Lars_Revik> "I think Lyle will go along with it.. he seems a saavy person."
[20:52] <+Bredock> "I agree with Nym and Lars"
[20:52] <+Nym_Gibran> "But we have to protect the people in the Inn. Maybe two people could stay and help with that?" 
[20:52] <+Lars_Revik> "How many exits does the inn have?
[20:52] <+T_Shaw> "A good idea, Master Nym."
[20:53] <+Atrina> "The Deryni among us would be better suited to fight the priests"
[20:53] <+Atrina> "and those who have magical weapons"
[20:53] <+Nym_Gibran> "Perhaps we can make a festival herein the common room, it might keep everyone here." 
[20:53] <+Bredock> "I'll go wherever needed. I keep my own in close ranged combat, if thatll hurt these priests you speak of"
[20:53] <+Lars_Revik> "On the contrary, the fighters among us should be fighting.. not sheep-hearding, Atrina"
[20:54] <+Nym_Gibran> "I will stay."
