The food is hot, hearty, flavorful and filling, exactly what your bodies have been craving after traveling for what seems like forever. The wine and ales are cool and refreshing. The rest of the common room is filling in, some it seems are fellow lodgers, but you get the sense that there are folks who stop by on the regular for Evelyn's meals. You don't seem much of her, she seems to be directing her troops from the kitchen, but an assortment of younger relations keep the food and drink flowing out to the tables, and it's at times hard to estimate if there are five or fifteen young gnomes working the place.
Hank, Garvey and Bimmfur join you, the young halfling very interested in Dornikal's drinks of choice, but he's minded by his two guardians, who seem to be progressing in the unwinding and relaxing into their new prospects.
((Would you have invited the monster hunting crew to swing by this evening, or looking for some time to yourselves?))

The two brothers stop by, Brucho remarking that his wife has all kinds of guild business to see to, and that Whoopsie has vanished into his workshop, perhaps to work on Randy's order.
It's clear that Evelyn knows them, and clear that they know her cooking when they order another pie without hesitation.
"Empty... empty... almost empty... We'll need another round over here!", Brucho calls out.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
You pass the evening in companionship with each other and the monster hunting brothers, who eventually wish you well and return to their own lodgings. Evelyn praises you all on doing such a good job finishing your meals, and makes doubly certain you didn't want just a bit more. The small army of young relatives makes sure you make it back to your rooms and don't need anything further.
Bathed, well fed and in clean, comfortable beds, it's not long until you all drift off to sleep.
Put your spoiler here.26

You are all woken in the early hours of the night by distant ringing of bells and the muffled shouting that at this distance is merely a rumbling of sound. Some bells sound closer in response, likely from the gatehouse garrison, and there is the stamp of booted feet running.

Randy listens intently for a moment. He tells his room mates, "Get dressed quickly and meet in the dining area. Something's got the guard riled up enough for them to all be called out." He gets dressed, equipping the dragon bow, rapier, his bag of tricks, the fire gem amulet, mini nuke, a couple of bolos, and some rope, and the eleven cloak. (( Going loaded for bear)).
Randy gears up and heads down to the common room. He finds a sleepy Evelyn carrying an even sleepier grand niece. Her hair us up under a night cap and she is wearing a floral linen robe. Other guests begin sleepily finding their way to the common room as well.
"Nothing to be alarmed about, I'm sure, the guard will see to whatever it is, I'm sure the bells will stop soon. Durrik has run to see what word there is, if there's any danger headed our way, we'll know soon.", Evelyn addresses the small crowd.
She eyes Randy in his adventuring gear, gives a brief nod, and turns back to placating and calming the others.

He watches Randy getting dressed blankly for another moment before things click and he rolls out of bed and starts throwing on his equipment. Not having armor, he is pretty quickly ready and only a half minute behind Randy.
He yawns next to Randy and confides,
"This never happen the last stretch aye was here, it ain't a common thing."
Randy shakes his head. "At night, with the guard jumpy, YOU might get mistaken for a monster if they happen to see you. Having someone take pot shots at you with a ballista is no joke. Or worse yet, have a wizard target you with a magic missile or some other seeker spell."
((As if he'd ever get drunk on plain old human (gnome) ale!))

Ulmwin gets up blearily from his bunk.
"Ah hell, there goes my vacation..."
Randy listens intently for a moment. He tells his room mates, "Get dressed quickly and meet in the dining area. Something's got the guard riled up enough for them to all be called out." He gets dressed, equipping the dragon bow, rapier, his bag of tricks, the fire gem amulet, mini nuke, a couple of bolos, and some rope, and the eleven cloak. (( Going loaded for bear)).

Dornikal sits up with mumbled,
"Dumathoin? Huh?"
He watches Randy getting dressed blankly for another moment before things click and he rolls out of bed and starts throwing on his equipment. Not having armor, he is pretty quickly ready and only a half minute behind Randy.
He yawns next to Randy and confides,
"This never happen the last stretch aye was here, it ain't a common thing."
"Hopefully the university didn't lose another monster. This wouldn't be the best place for fighting those things."
"You think I should take to the sky, see if I can get a bead on what's happening?"
Randy shakes his head. "At night, with the guard jumpy, YOU might get mistaken for a monster if they happen to see you. Having someone take pot shots at you with a ballista is no joke. Or worse yet, have a wizard target you with a magic missile or some other seeker spell."
The old fellow who had been dozing with the hound grabs a poker from the hearth.
"We're under attack, get to the basement, I'll hold 'em off!"
He waggles the poker in a very unconvincing manner.

Randy smiles and attempts to calm the old fellow. "Take it easy, old timer. We've got the watch. You can go back to sleep."
