"I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe you two should rest. Amethyst, this is Sylrie and Isuzu. I am sure the others will be up shortly."
"Ah, a pleasure to meet you both. I have been expecting all of you. Took the Queen long enough to get someone over here." She says as she shows disdain when she says the word Queen. "We're hurting. Badly. People are dying, crops are being stolen, and whole villages are disappearing. we have been asking for help for years, and they send a small group of pups. No disrespect, Dot." She bows her head to Dot.
"Maybe Aurala will get the hint when her precious soldiers starve while fighting the uneating and unsleeping undead from Karnath."

"...Debts must always be paid, sometimes in more than blood and gold. But this is Ordo Ursa," Ren places his hand on Erakas's chest, right where the Dragonborn's heart is. "Right here. And it always has been and always will be. Don't ever forget that. Because I won't."

Kora stands up. “Watch my ale,” she says to Kash. She makes her way over to where the waitress is sitting.
”Miss?” she says gently. “Don’t mind them, they’re a rough bunch and they live on the edge.“ Kora sits across from her. “Surely you’ve heard worse in a dock town like this? Is there else bothering you? Sometimes telling a stranger is easier.”
Persuasion roll, please.
"I'm fine... It's... I'm okay. I am sorry you had to see me like this, madam." She drys her eyes on her ratty apron, dirty from the soups and drinks she's been carrying from table to table all morning.

Kora sighs. "Kindness is not a thing to be grateful for, but rather expected. Unless you call me madam again. Then it's your head on a spike," she laughs, but it's not as funny as she thought it was going to be.
Shaking her head, she returns to the group table.

She laughs uneasily, hoping you were joking about her head on a spike. It is around noon, shortly after.
"Done fraternizing with the locals, are we?" Misq asks of those left at the table. "We have work to do, come on." He gets up and walks towards the stairs.
The band ends their song,
" God left you all alone I see the devil on his throne
Now these dirty worn out roads, they are my home
Old Mr. Shadow, Old Mr. Rain
7 devils callin’, Whispering my name
Old Mr. Shallow, Old Mr. Vain Tryin’ to outrun you,
On a graveyard train, He laughs as he leads you astray
In Satan’s arms, he told me that he stays
He has a blackened heart As he wallows in the dark And forever he’ll be searchin’ for the day."
The music ends with round lutes being strummed furiously and their boots pounding the stage relentlessly.

Kora will swat the minotaur upside the head, "For my ale," then grab her pack and head upstairs, with one last look around the common room as she heads up, looking for the waitress, or any curious eyes watching them go. She'll make eye contact with anyone watching, and either smile (waitress) or snarl (anyone else).

"I wish we were meeting under better circumstances Amethyst, I'm sorry to hear about your people, but that's why we are here." Sylrie laid his hand on his stomach as it began to cramp again, a low burp escaped his mouth tasting like the rabbit and stomach acid, he cringed at his own disgusting release, embarrassed and in a low voice he said "Excuse me ladies" before rolling over to face the opposing wall.

Amethyst sees Isuzu and Sylrie reeling from their sickness and comes over and sits on Sylrie's bed.
"If you will let me, I can alleviate the uncomfortableness of your problem, Sylrie, and Isuzu as well. Would you like me to help?" The shifter asks the cringing man. She rustles around in a green knapsack on her side.
Misq makes his way up the stairs with the Minotaur and the Kalashtar following behind him.
((OOG I don't want to assume that Johnathan and Percival are retreating upstairs with the others, but please let me know what you two are doing.))
Kora, you don't see any extra eyes on you other than people looking at your ragtag group as you walk past. No eyes seem to linger. As the three of you start climbing the stairs, you make it to the second (2nd) floor and see a small halfling, wearing a stained apron drinking from a purple flask. Wiping tears away from his eyes. He sees your group and shuffles down the hallway and retreats to a dark corner, sobbing quietly as you see the flash of his flask going up to his mouth, reflecting off the sunbeams shining through the far window.
The rooms up here are all closed off, the doors closed except for the closet room to the stairs. The door is open and you can see a large sleeping bugbear laying on his bed. In nature's full glory, no sleeping dress, no blanket, just all bugbear; dark fur and tan skin. Snoring so loudly that it echoes across the halls.
"Weird place, this is..." Misq grumbles to himself as he goes up the next flight of stairs to the loft above. "Uncivilized."

Well, I suppose that if I was as big and strong as a Bugbear, I'd sleep with everything hanging out as well. But still. Percival quietly closes the bedroom door, so that neither he nor anyone else has to look at this naked Bugbear.

Isuzu looks at Sylrie with obvious disgust for being so trusting then turns to this Amethyst person, her eyes narrow and answers her question, "no... you may not! If Sylrie wishes to put his trust in you then that is his prerogative... but for me... I refuse."
Sylrie looks up at Amethyst, he wonders if he should trust her so easily but this food poisoning was the worst. "Yes please" he said quietly to her.
Out of her knapsack, she pulls out a small wooden salve jar. "This may sting a bit, but it will not hurt you. You'll be yourself again in no time."
She pulls a leaf out of her pocket and opens the salve jar, immediately you can smell the mixture. Pugent and yellowish gold in color.
"The piko piko herb grows on the eastern side of blue pines in the Eldeen. Very abundant, if you know how to look for it. Broken down, it cures headaches, fungal infections of the feet, but also boasts one's own blood to be stronger for some time. Your sickness will be no more."
She paints the salve underneath your nose, "Deep breath, now, child."
"Maybe you have a change of heart after you see the power of natural healing at work?" She says to Isuzu.
"...Debts must always be paid, sometimes in more than blood and gold. But this is Ordo Ursa," Ren places his hand on Erakas's chest, right where the Dragonborn's heart is. "Right here. And it always has been and always will be. Don't ever forget that. Because I won't."

Isuzu shrugs, "don't count on it! I ate a natural rabbit after all so don't give me that crap. I find it odd to the extreme such a well-established tavern would have such incompetence for this to have been accidental and I find it oh so extremely convenient that you just happen to have the cure for what ails us. My answer is still no and will not change."
Kora smiles at the bugbear's uncaring sleep, and nods to Sarge's comment, "Somewhat has happened here, but I tried to find some bottom to it and struck out. I don't like not knowing the lay of the land."
"I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe you two should rest. Amethyst, this is Sylrie and Isuzu. I am sure the others will be up shortly."
