The Mysterious Star is mysteriously empty, and prices has dropped since Rieka left as well.

Akyan shrugs, he's more than used to folks not liking him, "The only magic I know is my telepathy and psychic blades... If you can call that magic." He walks close to Sheerow and Reika, allowing Reika to lead the way. As he does so, he keeps examines the town.

(OOC: what time of day is it?)

Perception: 13

(It’s night.)

You notice nothing strange with the village.

Rieka makes her way over to the innkeeper, keeping her head low.

"Ask for all three of his rooms," She whispers to Sheerow. "It's a small inn but the prices are pretty low, so we should be alright for coin."

Stannor Greanleef is eager to give away three rooms, and sells them for four silver each.

(Is Thalanil still here?)

(I’m also going to drop a milestone at the Beyonder, so you guys can level up.)

Sheerow, finally realizing that there was only need for Reika to get a new name, sighs deeply and walks into the inn after her. The amount of time she actually needs to fly in order to talk to the inkeep is by no means equal to the herculean effort needed to get herself airborne and keep herself there; she can barely keep herself upright as she's hovering in front of them. "Hello. We'd like three rooms for tonight, please." 

She gives Stannor the silver, taking the change and pocketing it before she nearly comes tumbling to the ground. She makes her way up to one of the rooms without a word, and after taking off her leather belt and many, many pouches, collapses on a bed. She doesn't even bother getting out of her dayclothes.

(Awesome!! And I'm not too sure. We haven't heard from him in a while.)

(Great!)

(I don't think so, he hasn't said anything in a really long time.)

Akyan enters the tavern warily. After Sheerow pays for the rooms, he follows the others to wherever they are staying. He does not sleep or meditate. Instead he keeps watch outside of the rooms while the others rest.

Feeling tired, Xo's feet thump against the floor as he walks to the food area, assuming there is one. He orders fish, ketchup, salad, and some chocolate milk with a swirly straw, or whatever the equivalent would be of a very weird dinner. Satisfied, he enters his room; he takes his backpack off his chest and lays it lazily on the floor. Do not ask me how he manages to find a comfy position on his bed.

(How much did Xo's dinner cost, if he had it?)

Ketchup and salad does not exist, however, the fish is brought with a bottle of Chugustian root beer with a gold bendy straw.

(Sorry, I guess I never gave you guys a prompt.)

When morning rises on the Mysterious Star, someone knocks on Sheerow’s door, whichever room she decided to choose. The someone is an elf that is wearing a battered suit of mail armor.

Akyan, who has been standing outside of the rooms all night, walks over to the elf, "What do you want."

The sudden knock was a very appropriate awakening to the restless, 'no sleep' sleep Sheerow got that night. She jumps up at the first sound, nearly falling off the bed but catching herself before she can. A near silent "Coming," escapes from her lips as she trudges out of bed to the door. She opens the door as she blinks the remnants of sleep away. "Everything okay, Akayan? Who are you?" She looks back and forth between Akayan and the stranger dumbly.

Akyan continues to glare at the newcomer. "That's what I just asked him." He responds to Sheerow then addresses the elf again, "Speak up will you."

Xo continues to snore loudly.

Reika wakes up, tired and miserable but alert. She dons her armour, and hearing voices outside, dons her hood as well. 

Reika comes out of her room and squints at the newcomer. Are they someone she would recognise? History: 19

Rieka doesn’t recognize them.

”I am Arkeim Ostoroth, and I’ve come to deliver a message from James Bronzeheart, the dead king of the Citadel of Stone.”

Akyan still looks skeptical. The name Bronzeheart sounds somewhat familiar, though he is pretty sure he would clearly remember the name of a king. Even a self proclaimed one. Either way, what would one want with him and his companions?

"Well then, lets hear it."

“I was told to recall it to Sheerow, and to Sheerow only.” Arkeim replies. “James Bronzeheart was very adamant about this.”

"Oh." Sheerow remarks, staring directly at Arkiem's face but not into his eyes. "Okay. Come on in." She motions him inside with some hesitancy, turning to look at Akayan and Reika and nodding to them as if to say, It's okay.

Once the two are inside, alone, she stands by the door. She unpins her brooch and activates it, loading three flowers inside and making no attempt to hide the fact she did so. She's trying to let the stranger know that she will not hesitate to shoot one at him if anything were to go wrong.
