"Ale and whatever's in the stew pot will do fine, innkeeper, and a room for the night would grand if it's within my means. What sort of rooms do you have available?"

"Ah, thank you for reminding me of Obasi's potential to be treated poorly. He has been so long a good companion that I seldom think of his misfortune of birth. I will, of course, speak for and defend him if such need arises." He smiles at Roshek and claps him on the shoulder, "Just as I would should the need arise for any other of our companions."
He follows Daos to the inn, planning to have whatever the cook had prepared for the day.

The Welcome WenchThe man smiles kindly and replies "Yes we have rooms available, I'll get your orders right away and please have a seat wherever you wish to sit." he has one of the potboys take you to a table to be seated and he hands you each a menu. The owner tells you "Let me know if you need anything else, my staff will take care of you. Now if you pardon me I have other patrons to attend to."
Area 4: The BarBoiled eggs, cheeses, and hard biscuits or crackers are often atop the trestle. Serving girls carry the food from here to the common room. There are great barrels of ale and beer, tuns of wine, and a cask of brandy with spigots ready at the host's hand. Area 5: The KitchenThe huge fireplace usually has various pots and kettles within, a roast turning, and several fowl kept warm in its side places. Goodwife Gundigoot is in charge here, keeping cook and scullions hopping. Menu and Prices
The cost of food and drink at the Welcome Wench is higher than usual. It is the only inn for many miles, the place is renowned and its food better than average, and the area is prosperous. Choice venison, mutton, poached salmon, trout stuffed with specially prepared mid kidney pie with mushrooms or truffles, squab, stuffed pheasant, and boiled crayfish in drawn butter are just a few of the epicurian delights which are expected and served here. The locally brewed ale and beer is supplemented by brews from other sites, and wine, mead and brandy from all over the Flanaess make their way to the boards of the Welcome Wench. Meals are served on pottery, pewter, or copper services, according to the order. Various leather jacks, pottery mugs, wooden tankards, pewter steins, glass flagons, crystal goblets, or silver chalices are used for potables. Meals | Cost | Breakfast, plain | 5 cp | Breakfast, elaborate | 2 sp | Dinner, plain | 5 sp | Dinner, elaborate | 1 ep | Dinner, 7 course | 2 gp | Supper, plain | 3 sp | Supper, elaborate | 7 sp | Common Drinks (per pint) |
| Ale | 2 sp | Ale, Special | 1 ep | Beer, Small | 5 cp | Beer, Heavy | 1 sp | Mead | 1 ep | Mead, Special | 15 sp | Wines |
| Table, Local | 1 ep | Keoish golden | 15 sp | Sundish lilac | 5 ep | Urnst white | 1 gp | Celene ruby | 2 gp | Furyondian emerald pale | 4 gp | Velunan fireamber | 1 pp | Brandies (per gill) |
| Local | 1 ep | Keoish | 1 gp | Urnst (special aged) | 3 gp | Liqueur |
| Ulek Elixir, 1/2 gill | 5 gp |
From your table you can see the room off to the left from when you entered the common room appears to be the kitchen. You have seen some of the staff go into the two rooms to the right from when you entered and saw patrons in them so you figure those to be private dinning rooms for wealthier guests.

Daos follows the potboy to the table and has a seat while he waits for his order to arrive. He lets out a deep breath as he relaxes a bit. It was nice to be able to sit down for a spell.

"Well, this place has certainly improved since I was last here," Roshek notes approvingly. "There's no keeping good folk down, I always say. How about you, Daos? Must feel good to be back home, eh?"
OOC: Roshek springs for an ale and a plain supper for 5 sp total. I've deducted that sum in the character thread.

"Home?" Daos repeats. "I grew up here, but I haven't thought of it as 'home' in a long time. It feels kind of surreal. Like having an old dream you haven't had in awhile. I keep expecting to wake up back in Verbobonc...but I guess that's not really 'home' anymore, either."

“What is a simple supper in these parts? Is there something uniquely Hommlet on this menu?” He asks the pot boy, and turns to the group, interest painted on his face.

"You sound like a man who believes he's lost his place in the world. Is that close to the mark?" Roshek wonders.

"I suppose that's one way of putting it," Daos admits, looking down at the table forlornly. "Or maybe I never had a place to begin with, and just fooled myself into thinking that I did..."

Roshek chuckles at Daos' downbeat reply. "Everyone is from somewhere and everyone needs a home, but that doesn't mean that home needs to be a specific place. Home is wherever your heart tells you it is - for me it's the open road and the company of good friends, preferably both at once. If you haven't found out where your home - your place - is yet, then just give it time. You'll know it when you see it."

"I suppose I just thought by now, I'd have things more together," Daos replies. "I'm pushing 40 now, although I don't look it because of my elven blood. But still, I figured by now I'd have a home, a family, a legacy of some kind. I didn't think I'd still be struggling to figure things out at this age, like a lost teenager still."

Roshek laughs again, not unkindly. "Pushing forty and still looking young and fit? Well, good news, young Daos, with that elvish blood you've got many more years ahead of you to find your way and start a family, if such is your heart's desire."

Potboy one of the two potboys returns "Anyone need time to change their orders or are you set with what you mentioned earlier?" he asks. "As to the inquiry of rooms yes there are some rooms available upstairs. There are three private rooms available, as well as the dormitory room. The private rooms are 5 gp per night, 2 gp per night or 5 ep per night. The 5 gp room comes with breakfast, its furnished. There is an outer room is a sitting room with table and chairs, an inner room has a huge feather bed, chairs, and a closet. The other two private rooms are more simplistic though one does have an extra table and chairs."

"Yeah...many, many...many years," Daos says. "I wonder how many it will take?"
Daos finds that a relief. He doesn't need anything fancy, but he does value his privacy and didn't look forward to sleeping in the dormitory if there were no private rooms left available. "I'll take the cheaper room--for five electrum," he says. He does not change his food order any.

Narya takes out 7 gold and says, "I'll keep my order and take the fancy room."
