Velma smiles and puts her hand on Guilliame's and says, "You are a good man, Guilliame de Marchant. I will tell them next time I see them and let you know what they say."
"Here you go," says the hostess, causing their hands to separate as she puts down their food in front of them. "Would you like another drink?"

Velma declines the offer of another drink and begins eating.
The food is, once again, delicious. The atmosphere and music is pleasant and the company nice, so it seems like no time at all before Guilliame is pushing away his empty platter.
"Can you still walk me home?" asks Velma. "I would like to stop in and meet your grandmother on the way, if you think that would be okay."

"I have been looking forward to meet her. Have you heard about any other stirges about? I meant to ask around today but I didn't get around to it.""
[OOC: For the record, Velma said she wanted to meet Guilliame's grandmother (i.e., Naomi) not Guilliame meet her mother.]
"Oh, yes," says Velma, regarding the stirges. "There were some fishermen on the river that night who were attacked by them as well. From what I heard, one of them almost died from the attack."
"Stirges?" says an older Stemian man sitting at a nearby table who has turned to look at Guilliame and Velma.
"I'm sorry," he says apologetically. "But I couldn't help but hear what you said. What is this city coming to?"
He then turns back to his similarly aged, female partner and says, "We will be catching a carriage home tonight, my dear. Better to be safe than sorry."

"Shall we go?" says Velma. "Or would you like some dessert?"
"Did I hear you say 'dessert'," says the hostess, who was approaching to take their dirty platters away. "I have been experimenting with iced confections made of cream. They are very nice."

"Right," says the hostess, smiling. "I'll be right back."
True to her word she returns quickly with two pottery bowls full of a white creamy substance that is glistening with tiny crystals of ice.
"Churned and magically frozen cream flavoured with honey," she says, enthusiasm clear in her voice.
"I hope you like it," she adds, setting the bowls down along with two spoons.
Velma picks up a spoon, takes a small spoonful of the dessert and tastes it tentatively. Then she smiles and goes back for another mouthful while saying, "It is cold and creamy and sweet. It is delightful."
The hostess smiles with pride and heads back to the kitchen leaving Guilliame and Velma to eat their dessert.
Guilliame also finds the dessert to his taste and the two bowls are quickly finished.
"Thank you for a wonderful dinner, Guilliame," says Velma. "But I think we should head off now. We have to meet your grandmother and I should be getting home to mother soon as well."

Guilliame pays for the dinner [OOC: 1 Constantine and 2 lions, which I have deducted from his character sheet.] and the two are shown to the door by the hostess who wishes them a safe journey home and a speedy return.
The two then begin walking through the streets arm in arm under Guilliame's guiding lights with Velma clutching her unlit torch in her free hand.

Roll #2: 9 . This is a Fail, which tells me enough to continue the move.
If Guilliame had made 3 Saves in a row or rolled a Natural 20 after the first Save, things might have been different.

Guilliame wakes to find Velma looking down at him anxiously. There is a dull ache in the back of his head and he feels very cold.
"You have done it," says Velma, her voice shaky with emotion. "He is awake."
She gathers Guilliame up into her arms and he can't help but see that she has a large bruise on her face.
Looking beyond her, Guilliame sees that he is lying on the street and he is surrounded by a small group of people, two of whom are the two hosts of the Scholar's Retreat.
The male host looks down at him and, with a slight smile, says, "You will have a headache, but I don't think anything is broken."
Velma only has eyes for Gulliame as she blurts out an answer to his question in short bursts, "This man. He was just suddenly there. He hit you with a club. He took your purse."
"There, there, lass," says the male owner of the Scholar's Retreat interrupting. "Both of you come inside and we'll get you a hot drink."
But Velma continues speaking, "He said his name was Blackie. He said to tell you that you are even now... I don't understand. What does that mean?"

Do the signal move and pay up (no tip).

Suddenly, everything goes black with the last thing Guilliame remembering is Velma letting out a loud scream.
[To determine how long Guilliame stays unconscious for, we may need to roll up to 5 d20s in order. Do you want to do this, or would you like me to?]
