"We'll be leaving soon, just a second."
Then I look around the room for a healer.

I order another ale and excitedly hover around my first ever adventuring companion.

Finding the articulate priest's quiet demeanor and confidence a marriage of traits suitable for the journey ahead, I nod and say, "Follow me." I gesture to the fighter that he's to follow also; I slink out the door with my new companions.

You carefully disappear out the back door into the alleyway. After checking both directions you see a few men gathered at the end closest to the entrance to the Bright Blade Brandished. You turn left and head deeper into the alley, take another left at the next alley intersection and finally a right, exiting out onto the next main road over from the Bright Blade. You glance back to make sure your new companions are still following you, then continue to your destination; the Golden Oak, an inn that doubles as a temple to Shiallia.

Located in Northbank on Dancer's Mask Lane, northeast off Rallowglass Ride, the Golden Oak features cozy, rustic rooms, dim flagstone passages, fragrant herbs, and windowbox ferns, reminding guests of sleeping outdoors in a safe, pleasant corner of the woods. Meeting rooms are available for rent upstairs, while a friendly cellar taproom boasts entertaining gossip downstairs.
All the rooms in this inn open off a central atrium dominated by a huge oak that rises up to the open sky, lanterns descending from it's branches to hang above the tables. Dedicated to the goddess Shiallia, the Golden Oak is favored by druids, rangers, elves, and those who like privacy or peace and quiet. The prices are stiff, but guests can expect superb personal chamber service.

Finally you find yourselves in a private room that sleeps 4 comfortably.

Azora, Dominu, and Larper- it is time for introductions, discussion of payment, and mission/travel plans. Everyone may begin now.
