"Ah, well," Anya responds. "I'm not exactly what you typically imagine for my race. As for what that is..." She grins. "That's my little secret."

The serving girl smiles and accepts that answer "Very well. If that is all of your orders I'll go give the chef them and be back out with your drinks."

"Thank you, lass!" Roshek thanks the serving girl as she heads off to fetch the drinks.

The serving girl returns with the drink orders it takes her two trips the first is with the Halfling's Brew the dwarves ordered, the second is with all the other drinks. The spiced cider smells perfectly spiced, steam wafting out of the mugs just smelling it makes you think of fall, and warms you up. The halfling's brew smells stronger than typical ales and meads, with a bit of a new smell that can't quite be placed they have a strong hop smell and taste but there is a kick that makes you feel very warm inside like after downing a shot of moonshine. Even with the great dwarven fortitude for drinking it makes their faces a bit pink and their insides tingle in a good way. A short while later the serving girl returns with the food the smells are even more mouth watering up close. Everything tastes better than anticipated clearly a halfling in the kitchen is not a mistake.

Daos thanks the young woman when she brings their orders, and tips her an extra gold piece before digging in.

Roshek tucks into his food, relishing the finely prepared meal. "That's the thing with halflings, isn't it? Great cooks, but sometimes you have to wonder how many times the cook tasted his feast before sending it out. I guess this place is an exception, though, or maybe they just start with really big dishes!" he jokes with Hekras.

"Ooh, absolutely delicious," Anya comments as she eats.

Q nods his head "Yes the food and drink were quite delicious, more so than I've had in a long time."
Hekras on the other hand loosens his belt a notch pattys his stomach and lets out a few loud belches showing his appreciation for the great food and drink. Which draws some annoyed looks from most of the others in the tavern. The serving girl looks shocked for a moment then shakes her head and laughs "I guess that is another agreeing with the compliments to the chef. In a most dwarvishly manner." to which Hekras merely orders another round.
Q pinches the bridge of his nose and winces sighing. "We really should teach you some manners Hekras."

"So lass," Roshek addresses the serving girl. "I'm not from around these parts, but I understand there's a festival on? What is there to do here during the festivities?"

Serving Girl smiles kindly at the question "Well have you ever been to a fall or harvest celebration master dwarf? From what I know the festival is fairly similar to such events. Games, entertainment, people sell goods, lots of drinking and fun. There are lots of different things that go on usually. Some merchants travel here to sell their goods at the festival, same with some folk who make foods and drinks or other things not commonly local to Stallanford travel to participate in the festival. We have woodsman competitions, different animal pull events, drinking contests, eating contests. Farmers can enter their prized grown vegetables and other things, like the largest pumpkin and so forth, or show off their best in show animals. Mostly for ribbons and bragging rights. " (ooc: I'm mostly making this stuff up, but think of a fall carnival or fair that's essentially this just back in times before the crazy rides we have now.)

"Sounds fun," Daos admits. "I, for one, could certainly use a nice break from everything that happened in Hommlet. This festival should be the ticket for that."

Serving girl looks a bit confused "Hommlet? What or where is that? I've never heard of that place if it is a place." suddenly realizing she never introduced herself after all this while "Oh, but I've been rather rude. My name is Nell. The chef and owner is Flynfire, and the other server is his wife Belladonna. We welcome you all to Stallanford, and hope you will stay here in our rooms. There are some still available but they will be full up soon enough."

"Nice to meet you, Nell. I'm Daos Soulstaff. And I'm not surprised you've never heard of Hommlet. It's a pretty small hamlet, out in the middle of nowhere."

Nell nods her head "That does make sense. I mean I am merely a local that hasn't really even left Northern Karameikos. Though I have heard from others about places like Thyatis. Which sounds like an exotic place, though I understand they still have slaves and gladiators which sounds a bit barbaric if you ask me." after saying her part she heads off to check on other tables of diners. "If you need anything more flag me down."

"Well, it's getting pretty late," Daos remarks. "What do you say we get some shut-eye, then check out this festival in the morning? We can make a whole day of it."
