*Looks her in the eyes and it is obvious from his expression he is in a great deal of pain. Although he forces a smile onto his face as he looks at her and manages to say.*

I am fine my friend. Nothing you need worry yourself about

*He coughs a bit*

Feel free to sit if you like. Have you had anymore luck with your parchment?

*wants to touch him but is scared. so she sits down.*

you are not fine. I can see the pain on your face.

yes i believe i have. i have only two words that i can not translate.

*Attempts to ignore the first comments about his pain.*

Well two words isn't so bad. Don't the other words preceeding them and after them give you a good idea of their meaning?

No because it is only a two word statement.

*Coughs a bit and tries to straighten himself up*

I see, I am sure we will be able to find someone to decipher that last phrase for you.

I hope so

*Jericho opens his mouth to respond but his eyes go wide for a slight instant. He manages to look at you questioningly as he doesn't know whats going on before he falls off the right side of the chair and collapsing on the floor. He is still breathing but it is labored*

While Barbus is standing guard at the inn, there was a knock at the door, four travelling musicians seeking refuge from their native land ask for on night to stay and in return, they shall entertain for a day, Barbus says fine, but, if you must practice, keep it quiet, there are people sleeping upstairs, better yet, lets go to my school, there is plenty of room there, and I would love to hear you play. I will offer protection for you guys there. Time passes, and you hear the sound of four stringed instruments being played.

"look, I know all about being on the run, almost my entire race was wiped out by demons in my former home, but to be persicuted by your own people for trying something new musically, come on" Barbus says with a laugh, for their story is so unbelivable, it has to be true.

*locks up behind the musicians, and leads them to their new hidout, the Barbus Academy*

Calliope comes down the steps from her special room provided by Criani...thinking..I mustn't get used to this sort of thing...she walks over to the door and unlocks it...pushes the windows open and proceeds back to the kitchen..She must consider a hearty menu knowing that all will be famished after their adventures last night.

Calliope shuffles around the kitchen looking for ingredients...opens a cupboard and notices some interesting spices..

She decides on a menu.....Inn Menu of the day!!!

Capons with herbs--tender castrated chickens
Cominy---chicken with special herbs that tantalize your taste buds
Peas with pearl onions
Venison soup
Little creme tarts well sugared

XI (day 96) of the time of the sun era

The legendary cleric (level 20) Milanitor Seriner has entered the town and is selling his special healing potions to any interested. He is good friends with Criani Peracien the Green Dragon’s Inns owner as he sits at the corner of the tavern eating the special meal of the day and having a nice glass of grapan (sweet liquor from the hobbits). Perhaps if you speak with him he will offer you a healing potion for a small price.

Calliope scurries into the Inn from the kitchen...asks the cleric , "How is your meal?...Kinda slow this morning..I have prepared quite a bit." She smiles at him, "Hi Ya, Im Calliope, a hobbit of 3ft from the Hills of Tantor, and your name would be?" "Im sorry for not addressing you earlier. I have been so busy." she slides into a big chair and leans back with one leg propped up, knee to her eyes and the other leg dangling.

Finally Criani meanders down the stairs after a good nites rest. Oh, how good it is to be Home! She is feeling quite well today.

"Good morning to all! How are you this fine day? It is nice to see you. I have been quite busy lately, I'm terribly sorry I haven't been here. Can I interest anyone in a brew?"

"Ah, Calliope, you are a gem. The meal you provided was succulent! I had to have sustenance to take me thru this day. I will be off ahunting later. 'Beast' will be going with me. To those of you who do not know him, he is my great dane; shadow and protector is he. I just returned with him from the hills, where he had stayed an old friend for a time. It is good to have him back w/me."

Criani glances around the tavern and her eyes alight upon Milanitor, her good friend. She is very happy to see him! She walks gracefully across the room and sits at the table with him, her eyes sparkling with delight.

"Milantor, how are you?!? It is so wonderful to see you again! Is all well? Do you like your meal? I found it quite delicious! Would you like some more Grapan?"

Rathil, how are you feeling today? I shall check in on you later, after my hunt. Try to rest, my friend.

She walks down the street and sees Barbus leading a group of musicians that are playing. Intrigued by their music she follows them to his academy . Truly an interesting group.

After spending some time with Barbus catching up she returns to the Green Dragon Inn...

She walks in with her usual flourish with the intoxicating scent of jasmine all about her.
She looks around to see who is here, if any of her friends are about.

She sees a new comer to the Inn, after reading the chronicle she thinks that he must be Milanitor Seriner that the chronicle speaks of.
She walks over to him and introduces herself to the cleric...

Ho there, I am RéAnna Dé. It is a pleasure to meet one such as you. What is it that you offer?

*Leucippus comes down the stairs from his room. He has a mild hangover from having spent the previous evening drinking with Knights that had been in the Inn. Nothing that a good meal can’t cure thought. He walks over to the bar and orders.*

*He looks up at the piece of thin slate where Calliope had scribbled down today’s menu using a small chalky stone.*

Capons & Erbs
Cominy
Pees, Purrels & Onuons
Venison Soup
Sweet Creem Tarts

I’ll have some Cominy with Pees, Purrels, and Onuons.

*Leu laughs at the Hobbit's crude spellings*

Oh, gimmie some of them creem tarts too.

And a goblet of goblin’s brew.

*Leu looks over at the cute little Hobbit as she sits in her highchair made for a queen. He bows to her as though she is royalty.*

Do you put together this wonderful menu for today?

Calliope climbs down from her special chair...thinking to herself...Leu is such a special person. why does he flirt with the likes of me..never has she felt like a princess around anyone...shrugs it off because it is just a dream..

"Hello Criani,,,Im glad you enjoyed your meal!" looks over at Leu hoping he sill sing, "Gotcha Leu! Yes I prepare all my menus." she laughs loudly thinking she doesnt have a kitchen crew...but someday she thinks she will have her own eatery back where she lives.

"Ill be back in flash..."she scurries into the kitchen to prepare his plate

She pushes the door open and squeals..."DARN, DARN, DARN" The venison soup seems to have boiled over the flames in the fireplace. Now she has to get new logs and start the fire...she is tired just thinking about this...maybe she should ask for a raise...eyes look up in the air and goes about her business..

Pushes the door open with great force with discussed look on her face. "Here you go Leu!" She puts the plate in front of him steaming with Cominy with Peas and purrels of onuons adorn his plate...another saucer lies a creamy tart with an extra sweet glaze. "I cant talk at the moment, my dear sir, for I have much to do in the kitchen." she tip toes past Criani, hoping that she wont come in the kitchen.

She remembers that a barrel of brew must be brought from the cellar but still no Boromir..he seems to be sleeping quite late...hhhhhhhhhhmmmmm. She escapes to the kitchen
