While he encourages Caine and Jim to enjoy themselves, Razi retires for the night. He is hoping to rise bright and early to greet the new day and possibly hit the market to grab an essential item or two for their upcoming travels.

Caine taps the bar with both hands, doing a quick rhythmic piece and then he looks behind to see if Nelyna and Sleet are with them.
Pointing to himself Caine orders "Ale", then pointing to Jim, "ale?" Then to Sleet if he's there, "I don't want to even begin to guess." And then to Nelyna "Nelyna, anything?"
You find a quiet inn and check in. The old, smiling woman passes you a room key. "The best room, all for only 8 silver pieces." She says, with a wink as she holds out her hand expectantly.
*Yes to a map if one is handy!*
"Oh you're far too kind, and too generous with the accommodations. As you can see, I'm a man of simple tastes and limited means. I'm also planning for a long journey and need to secure supplies in the morning. Do you have any more modest rooms available?" Nevertheless he will pull out the eight silver pieces... and two more to make ten. "Or... by chance do you know any shopkeeps in town that might help out a traveler on a tight budget outfit himself... if that traveler were to drop your name and recommendation? That would make treating myself to your best room a more affordable option."

Razi sighs. "I understand." He counts out the eight silver pieces. He smiles as he hands them over. "Can I make a request? If I am not already up and out with the dawn, could I get a knock to rouse me? I expect tomorrow will be quite a day and I don't want a late start. Thank you, kindly."
Razi will then take the key and head to the room. He will clean up, lay out his armor and clothes, and then perform his evening rituals to clear his mind before sleep. This includes considering the events of each dayl; those things he accomplished and those things he failed to accomplish, and weighing those against his personal mission to help those who require help and drive away dark and fiendish influences in the world. Then he will go to sleep, trying to appreciate the comfort of a bed as an unknown road waits for him on the morrow.
** Razi would have made it clear he wants to prepare with some fresh supplies and he would have suggested we all rendezvous at the marketplace in the morning.**

Caine grabs his ale then reaches down for a deck of cards, thumbing through them quickly to make sure they're all there.
"I much prefer the sound of shuffling cards to the clacking of dice," Caine says to the others.
Caine shuffles the cards, quickly, efficiently, with a touch of flare, showing he's clearly done this before.
"It's a nice night for a game, but maybe we could involve some of the other patrons here, could be a bit touch and go, but always nice to pick up an extra coin or two for our travels." Caine says, running on a little longer than he needs to, and raising an eyebrow at Jim.
@Jim
Jim wasn't sure at first, but he soon realizes Caine has dropped a bit of coded Cant into his speech.
<Up for fleecing a few of the locals?>
"Come. Let's find a large table." Caine says.
He motions Sleet and Nelyna forward, but his eyes return to Jim. Caine's sure he's pegged him correctly, but you can never be a hundred percent sure.
Caine nods to the guard.
He then turns back to Sleet, watching him pull food from his pockets and eat.
"Come morning the Travelers said they would send a message about where they are and if we join them, they will take us to see Madame Eva."
Caine claps his hands together and smiles.
"But morning is a long way off, no? A drink or two, some games of chance?"
Hearing the Caine is interested in game of chance, Jim's eye lighten up.
"I'll play a couple of game of chance with you." Jim says as he walks up to Caine. "A couple of drinks to pass the time wouldn't go amiss either."

scans the skies for any pigeons...
Caine laughs when Jim makes his offer and then claps him on the back.
"There's the spirit," Caine says. "Let's go find the loudest pub in town."
As he starts off into the heart of the small town, he stops and looks back at Sleet.
"I think you're going to have to wait until morning for that Sleet," Caine says.
While he encourages Caine and Jim to enjoy themselves, Razi retires for the night. He is hoping to rise bright and early to greet the new day and possibly hit the market to grab an essential item or two for their upcoming travels.

Jim nods his head, "An ale would do lovely!"

"A glass of wine, please," says Nelyna.
She turns to her companions. "What games of chance do you like to play?"

moves forward...slowly...
"Why do I get a sense I will be several coins lighter tomorrow?"
