With no rush to keep drinking the night away, you say your goodbyes after Tauster makes arrangements for your lodging and head to sleep. The Hound and Tails is a much more frustrating experience than sleeping at the Baron of Mutton in Milborne was; only shared rooms are available here and the beds aren't exactly cozy. Besides their decrepit frame and suspiciously stained sheets, the beds are also home to many
inquisitive and hungry bugs. Probably beats camping outside while on the move, but only marginally.

Breakfast the next morning is an equally hideous affair of cold, fatty mutton pies and ale swillings served by a yawning waitress who clearly had a long shift the night prior. Although things are served to you anyway as part of the lodging, you can't help but recall how the ale tasted last night and Tauster's warning to avoid the pies.

"Did anyone else stay up last night? I had a bunch of thoughts and if I'm honest, I hadn't planned for what I'd do after delivering the box. I'll come with you to Squire Marlen and collect the pay but past that, I think I'd rather stay put for a bit. Besides, who knows, maybe Jelenneth will show up here while you're away, or maybe it'd be a good idea to keep an eye on this Tauster fellow."
