S12 - Magnam Subsinctus

by Alan Hayburne

We find ourselves in the Crystalline Wayhouse, officially in Zielgarden - the innkeep, Elan, is a real friendly sort, serves up fresh ale and lets us know there's beds for the night, even. He offers us the whole place free o' charge! The stew is good, and it seems like everyone is feelin' a little better.
 
Elan sounds like he's got some experience in adventurin', or at least experience with the adventurin' types. He asks a few questions, nothin' to uh...personal, but he's friendly, fer sure.
 
Malachi has some...misgivin's about our host, so I guess we're on the hunt for some sort of bad news - of course we're lookin' for bad news. Malachi's in the attic, Ke-Iko is sneaking around in the dining room, like we got a right mystery on our hands - can't we just have a nice dinner, get some good sleep fer once?
 
There's a clang from the kitchen - turns out to just be Ke-iko makin' noise - I guess they found some blood upstairs 'n' it's freakin' 'em out. I guess we'll go check on the horses, make sure Elan isn't a horse thief.
 
And to think we coulda just gone to bed. Now, We got missin' rations, someone tried to break into the chest we're deliverin', and everyone's all PARANOID-like. Adventurers, I swear.
 
*sigh* now I'M breakin' into things, and I feel bad - there's a storage room o' some sort, and I guess we're headin' into the basement...
