"I never say no at... doing nothing, just relax"!" Says Kel.
"Me too. It's an opportunity to visit such a big city, I bet it will ahve many interesting shops." Says Inovidil.
"I'm going with you too, I have heard there is a strange inn at this town. I don't know if something is happening there, but I'm curious. A merchant I have met in Waterdeep said me that. He said that it's a rumor, but since we have some free time it's better check." Says Renad.
The trip to Shadowdale
They all agree with Renad and head out to the Inn in question. After a while of looking and searching, they find it, and enter.It is around lunchtime so they take a table and look around. A waitress approaches and takes thier orders.
Thalar leans into Renad "So what are we looking for here, Renad? Mabe we can look aorund and maybe see something out of place or wrong?".
Thalar leans into Renad "So what are we looking for here, Renad? Mabe we can look aorund and maybe see something out of place or wrong?".
"I have no idea Thalar, we can ask the waitress. She might know something."
"I doubt she will tell us. If there is something wrong the ywouldn't tell it to the customers. If we are talking about a rumor, the best we should do is to ask a bard! They use to know all this staff, they even sing them!." Says Inovidil with a smile.
"Good idea Ino, Elvira after launch, do you want to ask around a bit too? You are pretty good to gather information." Says Renad.

Jarg smiles then says to the girls "Maybe I can tag along as well, I'm pretty good at getting information as well" he winks at the girls then says as he looks at Renad with a funny face "I've had lots of practice".
After lunch the 2 go out and spend the better part of the afternoon searching for information.

AFter supper Jarg and Elvira go out again, trying their luck with the evening population as a differnt type of crowd is out and about in the evening.
After hitting a few pubs they get some information from an old bard. Paying his ale's of course and him being a halfling does help. "Yes a few years ago there was this wizard who supposedly turned people into frogs then killed them and fed their legs to people in the Rest of the Lord of the Winds Inn. Some people say it is haunted, others just say it is an old place. I have never been so I cannot say, btu sometimes strange things happen there supposedly. People dissapear and the owner now lets frogs loose in the Inn sometimes to add to the mystique of it all." he says and sits back tired. "Well thank you for listening ot an old man babble, I'm off to bed!" he laffs as he gets up and walks up the stairs.
"Well that was interesting,Jarg" Elvira says. "Let's go tell the others what we found maybe Renad can get some info into this as well if it is a haunting!" she says and they head back to the others.

"I hope they find something, I'm really curious you know." Says Inovidil.
"I bet they will, they are best for doing that." Says Kel with a smile.
"I'm quite sure that they will, this place make me slightly nervous. Like as having something supernatural." Sasy REand.
OOC> I guess that the inn can be a sink hall of evil, with a ghost beneath it.

"Wow, you have learnt very interesting information you two, congratulations." Says Inovidil.
"What are we going to do Reand? We are going to the inn?" Asks Kel.
"No, not immediately. We should learn more possible about this wizard and the people he have killed. If the inn is haunted, that definately mean that is a ghost in there and we should get it rest forever. Trust me, I have dealed with ghosts before and I know what to do. More information we have, more prepared we will be. I'll go to the temple tomorrow, maybe there they know something more. Then we will ask who is the inn's owner and ask him. He will know if something has happened there." Says Renad.

Thalar smiles and says "Well Renad can go find some information with me maybe. It has been a while since I did a little detective work anyways guys. You can all explore the city or relax. NOthing like a good rest before we travel again!"
"Well Inovidil maybe we cna go buy some perfume or jewelry. Or just window shop. This might be wise for our coinpurses!" Elvira laughs.
"I am going to rest here at the Inn. FOr once no practice or hunting! Just plain relaxation guys!" Brethana says
Jarg stretches then says "I am tired too I think I'll just meditate and maybe go see about some weapons tomorrow".

"Ok then me and Thalar will go to the temple. I'll hope we can find something there. Inovidil and Elvira after the shops you may go to ask the owner of the inn, about what had happened there." Says Renad.
"Ok Renad, it's a good idea. Finally I can do some detective work myself too, plus I have a spell that cabn detect the thoughts of the other, so the owner will not hide information from us." Says Inovidil winking at Elvira.
"Ino, you shouldn't use your magic against people's will." Says Reand.
"Oh, come on Reand, you know very well that despite my spell is mind affecting it doesn't do any damage. I want only learn the truth and I doubt the inn's owner will agree to say us the whole story." Says Inovidil.

In the morning after breakfast, well normal breakfast because Elvira only has for once, Renad and Thalar head out as well as Jarg. It had been decided during breakfast that they would reconvene during lunch time at high noon.
Elvira finishes her 2nd meal and both her and Inovidil head out, looking for womanly shops. They spend most of the morning partially buying and partially window shopping. It is before lunch when they return to the Inn so they sit and order a hot drink and speak a little with the innkeeper, doing little small talk. One thing leads to another and the subject of the haunted Inn comes up. While Elvira talks animatedly with the owner to distract her, Inovidil subtly casts her spell.
Thalar and renad head out after breakfast and head for the temple of Pelor and enter. Renad feels happy to be in a temple of his god again. Looking around they see an acolyte at the altar preparing the days mass. Speaking to him they ask to see the priest in charge. The acolyte leaves and comes back with an elderly man.
They talk and reminisce(Sorry bad spelling I think) and the subject of their visit comes up "So what can you tell us about this haunted inn, friend?" Thalar asks the man.
Jarg leaves after breakfast as well and walks around the city, noticing what kinds of people live here as well as what kind of visitors the city attracts. After finding a few shops he goes back to the Dwarvish one and enters. Once he sees the owner he approaches and they haggle over price
and the quality, but Jarg manages to bring down the price with a promise of ale to the burly Dwarf. Happy with his purchases he leaves and goes back to the Inn and sees Elvira and Inovidl talking to the Innkeeper. Nodding he gets a seat close by and orders a hot drink as well, then listens in on the conversation.
Kel and Brethana spend the morning lazily, sleeping mostly but after their late breakfast they exercise and practice swordplay together outdoors and return to the Inn right after Jarg. Seeing him alone and the girls with the woman, they sit with him and order a hot drink as well.
Renad and Thalar come back to the Inn shortly after and the woman is finished with the girls, so goes back behind her counter. They all sit a a bigger table and discuss their mornings.

Renad and Thalar come back to the Inn shortly after and the woman is finished with the girls, so goes back behind her counter. They all sit a a bigger table and discuss their mornings.
"So, what are you girls find out?" Asks Kel curious.
"Well, we have learnt that the inn's owner, Herman, is dead, but his daughter is alive and leaves in the city. Her name is Cindy Matois. The bartender said that the inn is not haunted, but still, it remains close for the people. She really believes that the inn is safe, some people disapperead in the sewers though. About the wizard she didn't know much, she has knew only that 45 years ago some people have disappeared." Says Inovidil.
"That's make some sense, but we should find the owner's daughter, Cindy, to learn something more about these people. Because from the priest at the temple we have learnt that 10 people have disappeared, all the same day and all of them rested at the inn. We also learnt the name of the wizard. I bet that he has done a ritual in order to transform them in frogs, something goes wrong and these poor people die. From their tragic death, came out a ghost." Says Renad.
"What about the wizard?"Asks Inovidil.
"We don't know, no one has seen him again, after that night 45 years ago. Maybe he died too, or maybe he is the ghost. We should Ah, I don't think that is a coincidence but the wizard was staying at the inn too." Says Renad.
"So what are we going to do now?" Asks Kel.
"I suggetst me, Elvira and Inovidil go and talk with this Cindy. We should know more about the wizard. If he stayed at the inn too, how he looked like and most important what he was up to. Maybe they have found a diary, a notebook or something else at his room. In case he is the ghost we should be prepared." Says Renad.

The others agree and they spend a quiet evening. The next morning after breakfast, the 3 leave. AFter they do , Thalar takes Jarg aside "Listen I do not like them going off alone like that. Can you change your appearance and follow them? I would feel better if you do, Jarg".
"Sure I can Thalar, hold on" Jarg goes into the shadows and emerges as a human, smiling. "Ok I'll see you later" he winks and leaves. He follows them at a safe distance.
The others stay at the Inn and relax for once.

After about 30 min Inovidil finds Cindy's house and knocks the door. A woman at her early 30s opens the door.
"May I help you?"
"Goodmorning Ms Cindy, my nema is Renad and I'm a celric of Pelor. Me and my friends here are adventurers and we are interesting about the old story of your inn. We... we have heard strange voice about it." Says Renad.
Cindy look all of them suspiciosly, but as sees the holy symbol at Renad's chest, relaxes a bit and says:
"I.. I don't know what to say. It's an old story. But please come, we can talk better inside."
"Thank you, very kind of you. " Says REand and steps in.
Before enter, Inovidil looks around and when she is sure that no one is looking, casts her spell.
"Please make yourselves comfortabe. What do you want to know about our inn? I know the rumors too, but I was very young when... when that tragedy happens."
"We know that, but please, I'm afraid that there is a ghost at the inn and we need to know everything you know about the poor people who has diisappeared and about Grimwald, the wizard. Says Renad.
"Well, it's all happened in one night 45 years ago. A strange man has come to the inn, my father didn't like him. He seemes mad, but he couldn't deny give him a room. This man wanted to have a room at the 1st floor, he actually demanded that. He has said that he wanted to be near the ground. We didn't say anything about that, alas if we knew... Grimwald passed all the time at his room, he went out only for eating, strange sounds came out of his room. It was obvious that he was preparing something. Strange thing though, despie our curoicity we never ask him about these sounds. He gave us and to the maids so perfect answers and I remember a day my father has even said that he was liking him, that he was his friend!"
"A spell! Obviously he has casted a spell on you! ah.. sorry I have interrupted you, continue please." Says Inovidil.
"Of course our inn had many clients, but Grimwald was not talking to anybody. One night my father wake up becasue he has heard an explosion. He rashes in the rooms to see if everybody was ok, but noticed that many rooms were empty. At Grimwald's room were a great hole at the floor. There was a ladder there which ended in a small tounel, which leaded to the sewers. My father was afraid to go there alone so he went to the barrcaks and told everything. They gave him 4 soldiers, as you can imagine no one returned from the sewers. My father checked the room and saw that 10 people were missing. He asked for more help, 3 adventurers among them a wizard, went there too. Only one fighter came back. He was afraid, terrified, he said that he has seen flames and a traslucent form. Then he gets panicked and flee, fortunately for him. No one has gone to the sewers till then."

"What about the rest of the inn? Have you noticed anything there?" Says Inovidil.
"That's strange too, nothing has happpened to the inn. My father and the maids went there very often in order to see if someone returned and firtunately nothing happened to them. Do you have any other questions?"
"What has happened to Grimwald's room?" Asks Renad.
"We have closed it of course as long as the hole, no one has entered there for 30 years. For the time the other adventurers came."
