glances through the party, looking for signs of disappointment amongst them
"Just an idea... "
short pause
"...just a suggestion for us to ponder...
you know... sleep on it.
I mean, we ARE going to sleep sometime soon, aren't we? It's been a L O N G day.

After an initial foray into the swamps, the party has decided to pull back and make camp on the edge of the swamp, lick their wounds and review their options. The scene opens round a small campfire.

Excited to no end from the day's events, the memory of the noxious bite she got from the over-sized rat drove her mind to worry. An entire vial of healing potion. It did the trick on the wound, but something... foreign... remained in her system... in her blood... she could feel it... it made her feel weak... sick.
Her expression of worry remains as a smile begins to form, glancing upwards toward Grumni, as he stares into the glowing flames.
"So, Grumni,
when that big ol' rat came up an' bit me, it gave me an awful hurt. You knew that, didn't you.
You must have, I mean...
... and what WAS that that you did for me...
... to me. I felt so weak, sick and helpless. But you... like... said a prayer and... well... did something. You get your Dwarf God to drive some junk out of me? Is that what you did?"
She stares - waiting for a response - her smile widening
"Do you... like... talk to your God... and he listens?"

"Aye Moradin answered me prayers and cured what ailed yer. Nasty creatures rats, best killed on sight yer ask me." Grumni responded.
He carefully looked into the one of the groups bags and retrieved the body of a dead frog, holding it up by the leg.
"Its a bit of a scrawny thing ain't it? Don't think that wizard fella will be paying us much fer this. We best try harder tomorrow."

After a late night of drinking and debauchery, as usual for Rand after a successful caravan delivery, Rand awoke to a numbing headache. Or maybe it was another hangover, either way, he awoke alone. Not all that unusual, except that he was hoping to find some of his companions to go catch some frogs or something for a wizard.
After getting some breakfast, and an ale, he decided to try and find his companions, or maybe some frogs.
So, off he went, heading south and keeping a good eye out for tracks.

Her mouth opens wide with surprise - eyes aglow with excitement
"You saved my life!
Thank you...
...I'll never forget that!
It's pretty scary and dangerous out here. Better keep on our toes!"
continues running her whetstone along the blade of her short sword

Having returned from their frog hunting expedition and gotten paid, the party has settled into the local inn and tavern to rest and recuperate. The scene opens as members are gathered around a table downstairs in the One-Eyed Cat tavern.

Having finally eaten and slept, Rynn takes a bit of extra time to inspect her blade prior to returning to the tavern. Not sure of what the future holds, she has a feeling that this blade, above all other things, will be instrumental in her own survival.
She sits in her usual spot, make eye-contact with Jess, who smiles and walks over to her.
"You already know what I want...
Steak - make it your best cut,
Potatoes - could you mix some onions in this time?
and a small bowl of beans.
...Oh, and an ale as well,
Thanks Jess"
she flips Jess a gold coin
"For your excellence, sweetie!"

A string of curses can be clearly heard in the corridor outside Grumni's room...
"Bah! Frog's innards all over me kit."
The dwarf wretches.
"Amphibian brains in me rations! Damn wizards"

"Say Jess,
Do you have a second?"
she finishes chewing the piece of meat, swallows, and an awkward expression evolves onto her face with sarcastic curiosity
"You just took my order right?"
Jess smiles and gives Rynn a returned expression as she nods
"... and now I'm happily eating because you brought my food to me, right?"
Jess looks puzzled, but nods
"Now, it's my understanding that you get paid to do that already - so do you go to the kitchen afterwards and demand, without prior warning, that you're going to need an 'extra cut' just because you actually had to perform the duties you were meant to do in the first place?"
Jess shakes her head with a wide smile, graces Rynn's shoulder fondly as she rounds her to sit by her side
"Someone in the party's strong-arming you, aren't they?"
accepting Jess' embrace, Rynn's expression goes vacant as she continues to nibble her food and sip her ale. In between sessions between her food and mouth, she mutters out
"Ever have that happen to you?
I coughed up some serious gold to this jag just to be rid of 'im. Not sure what the others' opinions are, but if I gotta work with this gloat, I'm seriously scared I'll gut 'em and bring his steaks here for you to take back to the kitchen for me.
Any advice, Jess?
What should I do?"

she glances up at the silent Jess as she continues her meal.
As others walk in, she drops the subject and smiles at them as they approach

Rand makes his way downstairs after a long night of drinking. Grabbing the railing hard once or twice to keep his balance, he manages to sit on a bench without falling.
Once seated, he looks up to see Rynn and Jess smiling at him.
"Bah" he growls, but can't help smiling back at the two women.
"Jess, can you git me something to eat, something that will fill my belly. Oh, and bring an ale too."
Wiping sleep from his eyes, he takes a deep breath and prepares to start the day.

Grumni strolls towards the rest of the group yawning.
"Fetch me some bacon and eggs woman." He mumbles and more surprisingly; "Have yer got any orange juice?"

Following their harrowing brush with death in the valley of the caves, the group retreated and were welcomed by the nearby pilgrims. The sister leading the group helped treat those wounded. Now they sit contemplating what has happened and how to proceed.

"Bah! Damnable goblins and bandits, me armour's got more holes than than a sieve." Grumni cries in disgust.
"I've had enough of them birds as well. Bah!"

After finding out the pilgims have no ale, or beer, or whiskey, Rand decides it's time to head back to the Keep.
"Grumni, I've had enough of goblins and birds as well. Let's try and find somewhere to drink. I've got enough gold to hold me over for half a year if need be."

Grumni frowns.
"Yer can never have enough gold lad..." He takes a look back the way they came and shrugs.
"... but yer can never have enough ale either and that Cob's about as much use as a two legged dog. Let's go."
