Chapter 1: Lady Luck's Curtsy

As Ada toils away with her pick at the ground, the rest of you pile into the wagons and set out to finish the journey to the village some 2 or 3 miles distant. As you get into the village there is little of interest. Two taverns flank the road as you enter. On the left is the Stuck Pig and on the right is the Cracked Tankard. Other than that, no tall buildings, everything but the taverns are single story affairs. You can spot a smithy not too far past the taverns, but everything else appears to be small residences from what you can see.

As you go through the bodies, you find a bunch of coins and a handful of small gems.

As for the men's gear when you searched, they all are wearing suits of leather armor. There are 8 suits, though not all are in good repair at this state. You could easily take them if you choose. Weapons, four of them carry scimitars and the other four carry short swords. The leader has a suit of studded leather armor with decorative embellishments on and had a scimitar and a pair of daggers. Of the lot of them, none really had any scrap metal, unless you plan is to scrap out the swords.

Rolen and Cat make their way into the Cracked Tankard. Once inside, you find they have no difference in room size, but they do have amenity packages which can be purchased. These include things like hot baths, room served meals, linen service, etc.

The Tankard is pretty quiet this evening, a few individuals sitting in comfortable looking seats enjoying wine in actual glassware. A tiefling harpist sits in one corner, plucking a gentle tune. The smell of cinnamon and spice is heavy in the air.

Baraq stalks into the Stuck Pig and finds it pretty rowdy already. A pair of dwarves are drunk in front of the fire, crooning a song about, well, you can't quite tell. There's a press of people and two haggard-looking serving wenches struggling to keep everyone in food and drink. On a large placard over the bar, you see their daily special is stuffed rabbit with a side of mushroom stew.
