A Tavern near Woodhaven... "The Gold Dragon" -- dare you enter?

[reddelicious]

OOC -- Hey all, decided to start the most traditional of the RPGs. The inn. It's mostly swords and some small pistols here, but we try not to get into bar fights. It's a dark inn with rooms upstairs, plenty of dark corners for villains, barmaids/men for heroes, and drinks for all! So come in and have an ale at The Gold Dragon.

IC: *Bess comes in, tidying up the bar for its opening that day. She's a plush looking woman with red hair in a bun, a echoing voice, and some muscles that are hidden under her enormous bosom. She scolds the serving and kitchen help into getting moving and works on cleaning the glasses.* "Hello and welcome to the Gold Dragon. We expect all types from all parts -- dangerous times, these. But feel free to come in and pick up an ale, or even a blood wine, and I'll knock people's heads together to get order!"

Bess looking around...

*Bess takes one look at the man and hurries over, wiping her wet hands on her apron* "Lily, get me a wet cloth and some food." *she barks out orders to her girls and returned her attention to the man*

"Are you all right? Please... sit down." *takes the cloth and wipes the splotches of blood of his face and presses the cloth to the wounds* "I've got a room for you, at least tonight. Don't worry about the tab... just tell me, what happened to you?"

Strange shadows...

Bess:

"Strange shadows..." *she murmured, worriedly.* "What could this mean? Sir? Please... sir? Lily, please clean him up and get him into bed as soon as you can. Have one of the stable boys help you. I'll get the Healer." *Bess closed her eyes and sat at a table, her fingers on her temples concentrating*

"Dervin... I need you... please come. A man is hurt... please come to the Dragon...."

*Exhausted, she sat down, only to get up after a moment. She hurried about, tidying up the blood and gathering some gruel and strong red wine. Finally, with a bemused look, she turned down the lights around the inn.*

Dervin: *A youngish man enters, with a coltish appearance. He looks around, and with a tensed vein in his forehead, headed upstairs. He walks into a darkened room where Bess is bathing the forehead of a pale man. He is shocked by the shadows surrounding the man that he can see by the auras...*

Dervin: "Dear Gods! What happened here?"

Bess: "I don't know... he came in hurt. Can you help him?"

*Dervin concentrated and a pure white light came from his hands, filling the man. After time, which seemed like hours, he fell back, exhausted.*

Dervin: "There. I've done what I can do... only time will tell now..."

*after a few minutes the young warrior awoke,sitting up trying to clear his eyesight...*huh?wha...what happened?ow!!!my head*holding his head like someone is still pounding it*

 

[GHM]

*Lily watched from behind the bar. Lily knew Bess expected her do her bidding and follow every order. She could see Bess was interested in being more than just a good host to the stranger who had arrived tonight. Although he was wounded and tired, the stranger was strong, his muscles bulging under his dirty clothes and those eyes that looked right through you. Lily also had ideas about this man.*

"I'm off to bed if that's alright with you."
