Whole in the Wall

Without much thought, the Party rides straight to the hovel Inn they’d accidentally bought just a few weeks before.

Only Demitasse diverts to his cathedral to report his failure and face the wrath of his superiors.

The sight that greets them though is very different to that which they left.

Canvas and rotten wood have been replaced with new timber and rough brick.

It’s crudely done and far from appealing but it’s certainly a lot more weather resistant and secure.

After tethering your horses to the rail outside, the five of you enter to find a warm fire blazing in the hearth and a warmer hearted Rosy chatting to her customers. On seeing you, she raises her head and beams a welcoming smile at you.

“Gods be praised! I was beginning to worry I’d not never see you again!”

A table is quickly cleared and drinks and food brought forth.

Despite the poverty of the surrounding area, the food is surprisingly good. Simple but well prepared and the ale, clean and sweet.

As you all tear into the chunks of fresh bread dipped in a meaty stew and quaff your drinks, Rosy explains the changes.

“In addition to the gold you gave ‘im, you scared ol’ Dunken good. He ain’t bin back since and I’ve bin able to use the ‘rent’ money for repairs. Sure, it ain’t pretty but I promise, it’ll only get better.”

The rounded, middle-aged woman suddenly looks aghast.

“That were alright weren’t it? I figured you’d want a secure place to stay and I’ve got your rooms all set up in anticipation for you.”

She smiles again even as she apologises.

“We only has four rooms though. I live in one, so I’m afraid you’ll have to share two-to-a-room… Except the young lady of course.”

(Rosey has spent every spare coin earned since your purchase on repairs.)
