Waves at Rohani as she sets off in search of the town master. Also relieved that they made it back without any trouble "I can go with two to the inn, after all I am pulling the cart, someone should accompany Rohani though"

Poco agrees and asks the group going to the inn, "Could you get us a room and some meals too?"

Then he runs after Rohani. "Wait up Rohani. I'll go with you to the town master."

I won't need a room at the inn, I have a room in my sister's home. It's actually right on this road on the right, next to the Townmaster's Hall.

You drop her off at her sister's house, a well appointed but cozy home. Her relatives come out and start unloading the cart, and make small talk. After a few minutes, you make your way to the Townmaster's Hall, which is shut up tight, and has a sign reading "Closed due to DRAGON!"

A passing townsperson clues you in that Harbin Wester is in his house which is on the other side of the hall. He hasn't come out except to quickly get food, or post notices on his board.

Rohani thanks the townsperson who explained the sign on the Townmaster's Hall and begins heading for the Townmaster's house.

On the way, she turns to Poco, "Thanks for coming with, Poco! This search is much better with company. So what's on the setlist for tonight? Another rousing song for the tavern?"

I agree. All travels are better with company. As far as a set list, I am a bit too tired to play for too long. I wasn't too keen on performing tonight right after the battle. But our safe return has boosted my my mood and I think I will sing a few songs. Any favorites of yours I might know? 

18 performance check for later at the Inn.

The Townmaster's Home looks to be on the newer and fancier side of things for the town. The front door is of solid oak, with a small window at average human face height, covered by a wooden door that opens inward.

Rohani pauses a moment to consider Poco's question, hand on her chin thoughtfully. "I don't know many songs by name, but if I could request something upbeat and rousing tonight. The people of this town have been through a lot lately and could use some fun," she answered with a smile at the thought.

As they reached the Townmaster's house, she stopped at the door and knocked politely. "Hello? Townmaster Harbin?"

You hear a man's voice from behind the door, “If you’re a dragon, know that I’m far too thin and bony to make a good meal!"

"Would a dragon knock on the door and ask for you by name? Don't be a fool."

At Proserpina's response, Poco gets an idea for a song. He gets out his lyre and starts to strum and sing...

"There have been stories... great legends of Lore.  That if I were ancient... a couple centuries or more.  I could do wonderous things... scare humans to the core.  Myths, that I can do greater... than fill you with fear at my roar.  Or cower at my magnificence... hiding as I soar.  The tales could be true...I'll never tell poor. If I were a dragon... Could I use a Door!"

"That's a lovely song and all but I'm not taking any chances. If you aren't dragons, what business do you have with me?"

Proserpina calmly replies, "If I were a dragon, and I wished you ill, I would simply blow down this door and the house on top of you... if you believed we were dragons, you would be wise to take the option that led to a few more moments of your life. But we are not dragons. I am Syr Proserpina, knight-errant of the great Silver Dragon Frynderssur. And you are the Townmaster. You posted a notice for a reward to bring Midwife Adabra back to town. We have done so, she is safely ensconced with her sister. You promised 25 gold in recompense."

"Ah, most excellent... suppose it's worth the risk."  He pops open the little window and throws out a small purse containing 25 gp. "Thank you so very much, I was worried about her."

[[OOC: You all LEVEL UP!!!! ]]

Proserpina shakes her head, continually surprised at the cowardice of the southlanders. She leans over to pick up the purse and hands it off to whichever party member happens to be nearby. "I suspect you will hear more of us in the coming days. We head next to warns the dwarves at their dig site and then to Gnomengarde. We will meet again, Townmaster." 

As she says the last, she taps her maul on the ground, creating a gentle rumble in the area, as though the weapon was preternaturally heavy (via Thaumaturgy). 

[[YAY!]]

Wynn sits at the inn wondering how his comrades are fairing with the townmaster, and then suddenly feels more...cunning.

[[WOOT!]]

Poco doesn't always feel brave, but in comparison to the townmaster, he is a gladiator. As Proserpina puts her maul on the ground and it rumbles, he laughs and yells through the window

"Sorry we weren't a dragon!

Feeling a boost of energy, he picks his head up and starts for the inn.

[[ Yeah!]]

[[ Nice!! ]]

Rohani chuckles at the interaction, smirking at the rumble of the maul. Taking the coin purse Proserpina had handed off, she tucks it away so they can divide the spoils when they reach a quiet spot. She follows Poco and Proserpina back to the inn.

You all gather at the inn, its dinner time and the place is packed, but you manage to get a corner booth.

Once the group is settled, Rohani surveys the inn and satisfied with the relative safety, she takes out the coin purse.

"The spoils of our hard work today! 25 gold pieces, so that'll be four for each of the six of us and then one for drinks with our dinner?" She suggests with a grin, retrieving 4 gold pieces for herself before passing the purse to whoever sat beside her.

Wynn accepts his share with gratitude. "The way you all rush into a fight, I should really save up for some better armor!"
