The Wayfarer's Inn

The Inn-of-Three-Beds. Master Holstrom keeps the books; his wife Yura keeps the kitchen and most of the secrets.

A Newcomer's Welcome

Master Holstrom has a fresh-laundered linen pile that needs to go up two flights. 'Yura's resting. Save my knees?'

This will be a lift check (your strength).

(Declining costs nothing but the gift is gone; you can leave the shop without choosing and come back later.)

Three Floors of Beds. One Stable. One Bell.

It is the afternoon, when the common room is empty and the upstairs is being aired.

Yura's cousin runs the inn next door to the Golden Kettle. The bread for breakfast comes from there; the tea, too. Sleep here and you wake to both. Your purse: 12977g 7s.

Pell · A wager, by candlelight

Pell is in the corner tonight. He looked up when you came in and nodded toward the empty chair across from him. He has a small die in his hand. He is not drunk. He is wearing his good waistcoat.

Will you wager with the realm? One die against a thirteen. Win, and the realm gives you a point you choose. Lose, and the realm takes a point from a place of its choosing.

Common floor (shared)

Six straw mattresses in a long room above the bar. You will hear other people. Some of them will hear you.

Private room

Your own door. A small bed. A latch you can throw. A washstand. The mattress was new in 1019.

The Lord's Room (only one)

A four-poster with curtains. A writing desk. A view of the courtyard. Yura's daughter brings tea at six in the morning whether you ask for it or not.
