Jorin lets out of cannon blast of a laugh and slaps Hildigrim on the shoulder, "Yes, let the inquisition begin!" he says as he refills his cup with the fresh wine.
Criella smiles at first, at Hildigrim's questions. "The Knights are an adventuring troop, I was page to Ser Boniface for a bit over a year. They did good, yes, against marauding orcs and others in the north. They treated me well, and paid me handsomely enough. I am from... near Neverwinter. I..." she stops a moment, seems unwilling to go on about herself. "I am grateful to you all for your help. I do not know what I have done to deserve these actions. I keep to myself, and ask only a fair price at market and to be left alone."
"As for my home, I bought it at auction, the lords buy and sell land often, I am told. I thought to see Waterdeep, but as I stopped here on my way, a man—I do not recall who he represented, there are so many, surely it is on the deed—he had papers and seals. The price was good. I had been raised a shepherd, and the life appealed to me again." Her eyes grow a little distant. "I thought it would be different down here from where I grew up."
"Vanja, I am tired now, it has been a day. I would join you and retire."

Mrs Brinarei will be up early, casting Unseen Servant as a ritual, goes down to the same table she was at last night and will be reading and writing in her spell book.
Jorin wakes with the dawn and will set about cleaning, sharpening, and otherwise maintaining his weapons as he enjoys a large cup of whatever the Satyr has for hot coffee.
Drusk gets his equipment ready for the trip to the farm.
Settles in for a light breakfast in the dining room: spam, eggs, sausage, spam, biscuits, gravy, ham, oatmeal, pancakes, ...

Dawn breaks at the Dashing Satyr, and you all gather to break your fast. Jorin and Drusk, please make Constitution saves. Don't worry, the DC is an easy 8 or better, but the sa-kay packs something of a punch. No in-game effects, you just feel bad.
=====
Mrs. Brinarei is already at her table in the back, a hot breakfast before her. Criella makes to sit with her. The rest of you sit there or nearby. Breakfast is 2 shards (sp) and is hot and plentiful. Wan Bai makes small talk, but not with Criella.
At some point, Criella says, "I am grateful for your kindness last night. You mentioned that you might be willing to accompany me back to my home today? Perhaps they will think again if they know you have been out there with me. Especially a mage," she looks shyly at Mrs. Brinarei.

During the table talk Vanja is rather quiet, preferring to listen than speak, though she does express her curiosity when Criella talks of her time with the Knights. At some point in that conversation she also mentions how her father served as a Hellrider back in Elturgard before he settled down to marry her mother.
After Criella indicates her readiness to retire, Vanja happily takes her leave of the others to show her to her room. Once there, she removes her belongings from the bed and begins laying out her bedroll against one of the walls. If Criella objects to taking the bed, Vanja will insist.
"I grew up sleeping on the floor of a wooden wagon. Believe me, I'm used to this kind of thing. You take the bed."
"Have some coffee, to clear the cobwebs. You already did those things last night. It is morning now."

"Mage!?" Mrs. Brinarei squint tightly and large tight lipped smile grows on her face. "Oh I don't about all that... just an old woman with a book. If I was a real mage I could..." She trails off her demeanor souring slightly, but the smile does not leave her face. "... but back to your home dear. I would be happy to go with you. These young adventurers too." Mrs. Brinarei gestures to the group.
Mrs Brinarei looks in her book and flips a few pages. "Oh Wan Bai" She calls outs as she finds the spell she is looking for. "fogd a kezem"She says slowly under her breath and very mechanical hand motion, casting Mage Hand. This time a spectral green hand of a elderly man appears, lifts 2 shards from the table and carries them over to Wan Bai. Mrs Brinarei snickering and smiling the entire time.
As dawn breaks over the Dashing Satyr, Vanja goes through her morning routine of preparing to take to the road. When she emerges into the taproom, she hands over four shards to cover breakfast for herself and Criella.

Jorin comes out of his room looking extremely fresh and smelling of lapping powder and blade oil, his weapons are gleaming almost as brightly as his smile.
"Good Morning!" he exclaims to the group, possibly to the whole tavern, its hard to tell, "Miss Wan Bia, another sah-key for me please. I have grown quite fond of it and it seems to agree with me. I am feeling quite, " he pauses for a second, looking for the right word, "quite chipper!"
After Brinarei offers the group's assistance he adds, "Of course, it would be my pleasure to knock a few heads in should anyone try anything."
Hildigrim leaves his and Drusk's room last after all the others. He is wiping sleep from his eyes and yawning as he climb into a chair. He surveys what the others are eating and orders a plate of the same for himself. "So," he says with a bright smile, despite his slightly red eyes, "what's on the agenda for this morning?"
Vanja, Criella takes the bed at night only after much confirming that you did in fact grow up sleeping on the floor. But at breakfast, she insists on paying for her meal. "I would not give Wan Bai cause to think me a freeloader."
Wan Bai tells Jorin to save his dragons, as the group has drunk her out of sa-kay, but she invites you to return when she next has a supply, maybe at midwinter, if the snows hold off.
As you finish your meal, Criella speaks about what is next. "My cottage is about five miles from here, south and west towards Waterdeep. You will have passed the turn off on your way here," she says to Jorin, Drusk, and Hildigrim. "The weather is holding off, so it should not be a bad traveling day. It should not take us more than a couple of hours. If we leave soon, there will still be most of the day left."
"I am ready to leave when you are."

"Tally-ho!" Drusk will put a little skip in his walk at the start of the trip, but being in chain mail means he goes back to normal marching after a minute. (He had his equipment ready to go.)

"Well let's not dilly dally there's work to be done" Mrs Brinarei says as she slowly shuffles out the door towards after Drusk. As she does she starts telling a irrelevant and nonsensical story about a time she tried to buy fresh bread in the port city of Luskan.
"Why was it difficult to buy fresh bread in Luskan (wherever that is)?"

Drusk was going to retire for the night, but those are very good questions by Hildigrim. He stays around to hear the responses.
If it seems like this discussion will be going on for some time, then:

Edit: Drusk doesn't feel bad, but suspects he should stick to beer and wine in the future. (Subtracting 2 shards for breakfast.)
