[color=darkblue:2uih3ekl]Through storm and rain, and sun and snow, the Half Moon Inn has stood for over one hundred years. It has prospered under the capable management of Katriana D'Rynn, a tall and elegant moon elf. She has been a favorite among all the patrons, both regular and new, for her charm and grace and ability to diffuse fights with ease.

The Half Moon is a popular haunt for adventurers, both new and experienced, and is praised across Faerun for its fine wines and food, and excellent service. It is a favored stop for many travelers and merchants on their journies. All are welcome in the Inn, no matter if they be Drow or Tiefling or anything else, and strong, fair guards under the command and pay of Katriana ensure no fights break out between any of the patrons.[/color:2uih3ekl]

She nodded to them all in turn "Goodmorning" she said with a soft smile ignoring the breakfast and sipping at her water happily, she didn't drink so early in the morning.

"Zzadrina my dear, you look so overworked, did you need some extra assistance today?"

She asked softly, to the other. She had no plans if the other needed help she would be here to help her.

Zzadrina chuckled.
[color=darkblue:2g69409l]" Can you waitress? I'd be happy to have you help."[/color:2g69409l] She smiled happily, and siphoned off her mead with relish. It was nearly time for her to get back up and take away dishes from other customers.

She gave Zzadrina a dazzling smile and took a piece of fabric out tossing it around until it made a sort of bandana which she tied into her hair.

"Oh my dear, you will find I am a woman of many talents" she finished the last of her water and got up.

"I'd be honored to help out for as long as you require it"

T'risstree had finished her breakfast and was daintily dabbing her mouth with a napkin when she noticed Talwyn go back for his second helping and finish off the all the breakfast leftovers.

He must be starving she thought with a degree of wonder as to how someone could eat so much? She knew he wouldn't get fat right away but still...he shouldn't eat so much.

She admitted to herself that she'd had more than usual but she hadn't eaten the night before and was in need of a good solid meal but watching him chomp through his second plate was a bit much.

[color=indigo:2v789moo]"Excuse me dear, I'm going to chat with Myna, Zzadrina and Elenwe. Be a good boy and just stop afer that second plate d'ya hear? Good,"[/color:2v789moo] she finished witth a nod, kissed him on the cheek and walked over to where the other girls where sitting.


[color=indigo:2v789moo]"Vendui dalninin, vel'bol natha bronretla tangi ol zhah yallt. Lu'oh ph'dos jal?[/color:2v789moo]" she asked with a happy smile. She glanced back at Talwyn making sure he wasn't getting any more food.

[color=indigo:2v789moo]"Can you believe how much he is eating? He'll be bigger than a rothe if he eats any more,"[/color:2v789moo] she giggled in a hushed whisper to them.

Zzadrina laughed and shifted, tightening her sash.
[color=darkblue:4nukgq6a]" Khalud was much worse."[/color:4nukgq6a] She handed her mug off to another waitress, and tightened her bun.
[color=darkblue:4nukgq6a]" Why don't you sit, T'risstree?"[/color:4nukgq6a] She asked with a smile, motioning to a seat.

The Inn main doors opened and closed quietly. A tall cloaked figure(which were becoming quite common around here) made his(he was obviously male) way into the taproom, dropped down at one of the bar stools, and pushed back his hood to reveal short-cropped white hair, pointed ears, black skin, and a very handsome face.

I nodded vaguely at T'risstree as she left the table and continued eating my breakfast. Soon I'd finished and was feeling reasonably full and then drained the jug of juice in a few quick gulps.

I am not usuualy this hungry however the ring of regeneration uses up bodily engery to grow new skin, muscle etc and thus you need food and such to make sure you don't end up wasting away to nothing while your healing.

I wiped my mouth with a napkin and gazed fondly over at T'risstree as she chatted happily with her female friends.

The main doors of the Inn opened and in strode a rather tall cloaked male drow who made his way over to the bar.

I was beginning to wonder if Elenwe and I were the only non drow patrons within thirty miles of this place?

I leaned back in my chair and winked at the rather green [if drow could look green, he would] looking Lothir who had finished his meagre breakfast and was quietly sipping water.

T'risstree looked up from her chatting to see a new comer walk in to the taproom.

A drow male, tall too she thought.

She wondered what he is doing here? Hopefully he wouldn't cause trouble or be a pest like that Zazzt was. She was having too much of a nice morning to let it get spoilt by such thoughts. She gazed back at Talwyn who was looking relaxed and content, poking fun at the hung over Lothir. Poor Lothir...he got all drunk and stay up all night alone. She hoped that Zzadrina would not wait for him to make a move as right now as the only move he looked able to perform was a quick dash to an open window to hurl up his breakfast. Not the most romantic appearance she mused.

She stood back up and said,

[color=indigo:1alcsjhn]"Sisters, I had best go and round up my male otherwise he might start getting himself into mischief. I'll distract him and keep his attention on a worthy cause...me,"[/color:1alcsjhn] she spoke in a low voice, quiet enough for Talwyn not to hear as she smirked to her friends. Then with a saucily smile on her lips, she walked back to the table, making sure that Talwyn was watching her. She swayed her hips just so then piroetted in a quick twirl before jumping and landing like a feather on his lap.

[color=indigo:1alcsjhn]"Miss me?[/color:1alcsjhn]" she asked with big round eyes and a little sultry smile.

Despite T'risstree being a lithe slip of a girl, she still weighed something and it was that something which thumped onto my lap, albeit lightly but still a thump none the less.

[color=indigo:125ql1w0][i:125ql1w0]"Miss me?"[/i:125ql1w0] [/color:125ql1w0]she asked with big round eyes and a little sultry smile.

All I could do was nod because she'd given the old wedding tackle a good thump with her little stunt jump. She had a lovely ass but it was very muscular and firm and therefore not as soft and padded as I needed it to be to withstand such a landing without dire consequences like having your meat and two veg all mashed unexpectedly.

I pretended to rub my eyes to remove something as they began watering from the dull throbbing and I smiled through the pain, hugging her tightly.

She cuddled me back, enthusiastically embracing me thinking I was being affectionate.

"Yes sweetness...I've...missed you," I managed to gasp out in a strangled whisper in her pointed ear. She giggled and nuzzled me again, wriggling away on my lap, thinking I was being romantic by whispering in her ear.

Oh sweet Ilmater, god of suffering and pain! Was there no end to this torture?

The Crying God must have heard my silent plea as she was suddenly distracted by Zzadrina who along with one of the waitresses, came to collect the empty plates and platters from our table. She jumped up and cheerfully helped out the girls with the clearing away of the breakfast dishes. She went with them back to the kitchens, blowing me a kiss as she left. I gamely waved back, a faint smile on my face before she turned and left the room.

Oh Rapture!

Blessed Relief!

With her off my lap I could begin to stop feeling that awful throbbing.

I bowed my head as though in silent prayer for thanks for the morning meal all the while I was trying to quietly breathe out the thobbing agony that I felt in my nether regions.

She happily skipped off with Zzadrina and the waitress, carrying a collection of dirty breakfast dishes in her hands to the kitchens for the scullions to wash. Putting the dishes down on the trolley for items for washing, she had a look around the Inns kitchens.

They were a well ordered and busy place, full of cooks and assistants industriously preparing for the lunch service while at the same time sending orders out for those still having breakfast. She found the activity interesting as she never really bothered to take much of an interest in such things back when she lived in her Matron Mothers House. It too had a large kitchen but it wouldn't have been the happy carefree place that this was. Plus the food was better here as well.

Since coming to the surface, she had noticed that a lot of the food that she frew up on in the Underdark didn't really taste all that good. Sure there were some very tasty things like well aged Rothe steaks in cream sauce or glow worms soaked in sugar juice and spices but they were only a few compared with the dizzying multitude of dishes and recipes that boggled her mind.

She relished every chance to try new things but she had found, much to her shame, that she wasn't a very good cook. This had distressed her somewhat as providing meals for people was one of the main edicts of Eilistraee's faith but T'risstree was very reluctant to inflict her cooking on complete strangers, believing it would do more harm than good. She could roast meat reasonably well enough and boil eggs and fry things in a skillet but anything more complex than that and she found herself getting flustered and frustrated and fairly soon after, her temper would explode and the food would be hurled against the wall. Shanilath had tried to teach the drow woman the basics of cooking but soon gave up after T'risstree had ruined 2 of her 3 good saucepans and the dishes she managed not to trash, tasted wrong or were utterly inedible.

She had decided from that point that if she had to cook, it would be for herself as she wasn't that fussy an eater and she'd only cook for others if was absolutely necessary. She reflected that perhaps she should try to learn again now that she had mastered her temper and was now a lot happier within herself.

And one of those reasons was now sitting in the next room waiting for her to come back. She stood for a moment, considering what she wanted to do today. Part of her wanted nothing more than to grab some bottles of honey mead, a bottle of massage oil and some sweet fruits and candies and head upstairs with Talwyn for a day of lovemaking. However, she thought while her new friends wouldn't mind them disapearing, it was a bit selfish for her to indulge herself on her own pleasures. Yet she did want to spend some time alone with him, to get to know him better, to talk and flirt with him. And then there were her new found friends. She really found herself becoming fond of Myna and Zzadrina. She liked Elenwe but the half elf monk, while nice, hadn't really intrigued her as much as her drow sisters. Lothir was very funny and a raffish wit and she fond herself thinking she could be friends with him.

Hmm...so many things to do. She wanted to do them all at once.

T'risstree then had a little epiphany. What did he want? She, in her planning, had forgot to think to think about what he might want to do. She'd been assuming that whatever she wanted, he would go along with just like the males would when she was back in the Underdark. This might not work up here. It was good she was reasonably wise and had not made a disastrous aroogant assumption that could have possibly driven a wedge between her and Talwyn so early on.

So, she made up her mind. She'd ask him what he wanted and if it wasn't what she wanted to do, then she'd get him to change his mind. It was so simple.

She smiled to herself and hummed a happy tune as she left the kitchen.

She came back and found Talwyn hunched over at the table. He seemed to be praying. Odd place to commune with your god but she thought if that is what he and Torm are happy to do, then it was none of her business. She sat down quietly next to him, not disturbing him in his devotions and hoped he wouldn't take too long praying.

She had things she wanted to do!

The cloaked figure walks in to the inn, looking for a place of refuge for a little while. The desk attendant asks "Ye be staying here for the night?" The man says "Sure, anywhere is fine." And with that Vizh'tho takes his key and walks up to his room on the second floor off to the furthest corner in the hallway.

Taking off his cloak he takes a breather. This disguise act didn't come without a cost to his overall stamina. He wasn't anywhere near a master warlock so he didn't know how to conserve energy when he used Eldritch.

"Now, what should my next move be?" he thought over in his mind as he sat on the flat bed. "I need to find a Warlock Master to teach me. Or else this is as far as I go. In which case I might as well be dead." He continued conversing with himself for awhile.

The young drow watched with only half-hearted amusement the antics of T'risstree and Talwyn. The pounding in his head had been far too much to endure much beyond a simple breakfast, and water seemed the only thing that would ease the ache.

"Goddess, I haven't been soused like that in ages. Forgot how potent some of these surface wines can be." he muttered, then finally stood. "Think I'll go see if our hostess needs any help," he said by way of an excuse. Don't get up to TOO much mischief while I'm away, my friend- I'd hate to miss anything!" He said, giving the knight a half-assed salute.

He made his way through the room toward the area where Zzadrina had gone, and carefully snuck up behind her while she was busy. He whipped his hands around to cover her eyes, and whispered beside her ear. "Guess who!" He pressed against her back slightly, waiting for the lovely drow woman to respond....

T'risstree beamed at Lothir, her smile lighting up her face.

"Be a hunter!" she said making a clawing motion with her hand at him.

"Rrrrraaawwllll"


She giggled covering her mouth as she watched Lothir shamble off towards Zzadrina.

She glanced back to Talwyn who was still hunched over, his head bowed and his face a mask of concentration.

Her smooth forhead was marred by a small frown.

What's taking him so long?

Elwyn sat at a table in the taproom, he had summoned his first puppet, a small little thing, about the size of a halfling, actually, that was what it had been, and now it lay on the table in front of him, its chest open. Little cogs and gears all over the place, Elwyn carefully took out old parts, and replaced them with others, a process that had taken him most of the day. The little form held many different weapons though, all lathered in poison, which stood in vials not far from Elwyn's busy hands. Elwyn made the poison himself, and only he knew the antidote, as far as he knew, anyway. Occasionally, he would take a sip of the mead that stood in a flagon, on the opposite side of the poison. So far, he was content to stay alone at his table, but the repairs would take most of the day, unfortunately.

Gareth walked in through the wooden door in the front and began walking to the table closest to the front and sat down on the chair, Ordering a pint of ale, It appeared as though he had started hunting early this morning, as he had a scar on his face that ran down over his face, Creating a scar over his eye, not blinding him. It ran from just above his eyebrow to just below his eye socket. Oddly enough it was not a bear, nor a wolf and not a demon, But a highway man, Messing with the wrong Tiefling, Unfortunately the bandit got one lucky shot in.

He sat down at the bar beside Elwyn with his drink in hand.

Halflings? I really don't want to know what you do with your spare time, What are you gonna kill and build next? An orc? A Giant? Because i would love to see you try and take down a giant. Gareth said with a grin.
