Lillith nodded as the warriors gave their various opinions. "Alright, food and rest can be provided," she said. "There's an inn close to the palisade called the Laughing Knave. The bounty I promised was 200 gold pieces, which should cover everything you'll need there and a lot besides."

The Laughing Knave was the same tavern that Vlad had been staying at, as well as possibly other members of the group. Of the two in town, it was the more pleasant, and the more expensive, but ultimately it was mediocre in both regards. The other, the Vagrant's Flagon, simply had both low prices and poor quality, even by the standards of this unhopeful world. Of course, the warriors could make their own choice as to where to stay, this was simply the choice Lillith would have made in their place.

It was at this point that Verdan requested to examine the bodies of those affected by the blackbird's gas. While Lillith realised that their could be positive repercussions of letting him do so, principle prevented her. "I'm sorry," she told him "as I understand that your intentions are benevolent, but the dead ought to be left to rest. They've suffered enough, haven't they?" Lillith asked, before noticing the dwarf searching those same corpses. "The same principles apply to looting. Leave them be." Lillith strode over to Milo and put a firm hand on his shoulder, clearly indicating for him to move away. As such, he had no good chance to search them for valuables.

"Now," the wizard began, addressing the entire group. "I'll get together your bounty, which you can collect either later this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Additionally, we should discuss further work for you then, if that's your interest. The danger has only paused; it will not end until the death of the Whiteheath Witch. Kill her, and I can promise a significantly larger reward."
