[center][color=olivedrab][b]Location:[/b][/color] Crossed Swords Inn & Tavern[/center][center][color=olivedrab][b]Interacting With:[/b][/color] A young barmaid and Fenmal[/center]

As she took a seat at the bar, Venua signaled the barkeeper, an energetic and excitable gnome tending to other customers, taking their orders and filling their respective mugs of ale and other alcoholic beverages. The gnome was laughing and joking around with her fellow patrons, balancing an apple on his head starting a mini game of his own. The bar maids seem to be busy as well, tending to the other patrons, spending a noticeably longer time with the male patrons of the tavern. Preoccupied with his game, the barkeep failed to notice her, so she grabbed a passing bar maiden through the arm, indicating that she wanted a mug of ale and some hot food. [color=olivedrab]"I'll be wanting a hot food, something savoury and a nice frothy mug of ale."[/color] She then retrieved a few coppers from her pouch, placing them into the girl's hand to show that she had money to pay for what she'd asked.

The young bar maiden widened her eyes in surprise at her rather intimidating appearance, war-paint and all in its full glory. She simply nodded in answer before she went to carry out whatever she was supposed to do. Several minutes later, Venua was accompanied with a mug of frothy ale and a plate of savoury meat stew that was adequately spiced. The gravy was decent and the ale was pleasant, and that was all she could ask for in a place like this. No one had managed to knock down the apple on the gnome's head yet, despite the flurry of objects that had been flung at him. Then the apple was gone, shot by an arrow fired by a fair-haired girl. Attempting once more to get the attention of the gnome, she waved, gestured wildly as she asked. [color=olivedrab]"Hey! You there, Tavern owner! Do you have any room left for a night or two? If there's no rooms available then a bed will do as well. Looks like I may be staying here for a bit."[/color]
