11:38 PM

Walking through the village himself, Jarril is also on one of his lone patrols, checking thins out minding his own business.  Although he gives a nod here and there to those passing by to be polite.

Brom pauses as he is addressed and nods, "Aye we met yesterday, thought I introduced myself though. I'm Brom Stormalong, local sheriff."

Avoryn remarks towards Brom "Ah, Nice to see you again, Brom

Brom looks around to try and see who Avoryn is talking about, "Who, the Major over there? I guess you could say that."

Jarril ear twitches slightly, the hare not missing a beat as he looks in the direction of who said major and calls out.  "'ey Brom, how goes, wot!"

Avoryn looks at Jarril,

Apple walking into sight another Badger appears, under the sheltering shade of a parasole, her bustle and skirts trailing along behind her, she spies the hare, otter and Badger and makes her way towards them "Good day"

Avoryn Turns his attention to the badger Immidietely "That it is, Miss"

Brom looks to Jarril and gives a wave and a smile, "Things are goin' alright mate. Come down early for the festival?"

Apple nods to the stranger "Indeed and it is not Miss it is Mrs, Mrs Apple Northstar young sir" she smiles to him and then looks over "Sheriff Brom, Major Jarril what a nice surprise tae see ye both here"

Avoryn says, "Well, I usually, simply wander around different parts. But every once anhile I go to Redwall Abbey. You could call it my home"

Brom nods and says, "Good to hear" then looks to Jarril as the two badgers talk. "How are things at the mountain mate?"

Avoryn looks around Casually

Apple says, "Ahhh tha abbey, aye have nah bveen there meself, from tha far north i am ""

Jarril grins at Brom.  "The usual."  He thinks of saying he's from far up north himself but stops himself.  "What with the lockdown lifted and all."

Avoryn takes out a small peice of bread and begins munching "sorry, I Havent been eating too much for the last little while

Apple shakes her head and shifts her parasole to keep the shade on her patting her stomach "Aye've been eating double fer me and tha liddle one, ye should stoop by tha tavern, ged tha staff tae feed ye oop"

Avoryn says, "Yes, That would be a good Idea..."

Apple points to the tavern with a paw "Tis just across thar, aye'd coom in wid ye but aye'm enjoyin tha sun shine"

Brom nods and says, "I was wondering why I haven't been seeing many hares here on weekend leave. So does this mean your crew'll be coming for the festival this week?"

Avoryn says, "Anyway, I'm off to the tavern to have a little food m'self. Follow if you like"

A grin forms on the major's face.  "Aye, hope ya got bally enough food in, I think everyone's put in for the leave, just about."

Apple nods to the departing Avoryn and wanders over to the other two "Oh yes Major dinnae worry we're expecting your hares an some others we hope as well, we gud plenty of fodo"

Brom chuckles and nods, "Good to hear mate." He glances to apple then back to the hare, "Aye, we'll have some good tuck for you. Although the cooks are probably pulling their fur out now that your crew'll be commin'" he says with a grin

Apple looks at Brom and smiles "Any idea if anyone else we invited is coming? aye'm quite glad aye've been able tae move inta tha new house ye knoo, dinnae think aye could stan a tavern full of guests"

Jarril ponders.  "I heard some from the abbey may show up but I can't say for say, doncha know."

Brom looks to apple and shrugs, "Haven't heard anything myself on that matter. Been mainly tryin' to figure out how I'm going to keep any order if things get out of paw with just me to enforce things."

Jarril turns his head to Brom.  "Could ask for help from us if ya need it."

Apple smiles "Now Major don't you be making your poor hares work during tha festival tha would be terribly cruel

Jarril grins.  "We can't all be off duty, doncha know."

Apple laughs and nods her head "Aye as ye say Major but still aye'm sure ye'll make sure tae rotate who ever is on an such"

Brom glances towards apple then back to the Major and nods, "I might take you up on that offer mate. We'll see how many beasts show up, and if any vermin come. Although I haven't seen much since the dinky remainder of the horde left here."

Jarril looks at Apple for a moment and flicks one of his ears before snorting.  "We do know how ta rotate the rosters, wot."  Flicking his head to Brom.  "Aye, well they never recovered after my plan on burning down their camp."

There is a loud noise approaching from the north it soon gets louder and resolves into a hefty band of otters with one mouse and a lizard in tow, a crowd of dibbuns near the front have been let loose, whooping and cheering as they reach the town, there sitters led by a large albino otter chasing after them trying to keep some orders as the rest of the crew and the skipper follow them.

Thomas is whooping, and starts up a chant. "Festivow! Festivow! Festivow!"

Nyfloe walks over in the crowd, as does Rockfire.

Rhowena giggles at the dibbuns' antics.

Jesse has put his harp away, and does a hand stand, and starts walking on his hands.

Slain stops and looks the town over taking note of how much nicer it looks with out that horde holding it hostage.

Alrendo shakes his head and lets the regular dibbun sitters herd the young ones about, moving over to the Skipper "Well we made it skipper and everyone is here"

Brom nods and says "Hope it stays that way." He then sees the crowd of otters and others approach the town and whistles, "Well I guess the Mossflower crew has arrived." He steps out into the middle of the street and gives a wave to the the approaching beasts

Kroova arrives from the dirt path.

Jesse starts singing while he walks on his paws, "Spring has come, the birds will sing, the sun will shine, the moon will sing! Hearken now, as I sing, for it is surely, surely, spring!"

Thomas continues his chant of 'Festivow!'.

Jarril had turned around while Brom replied, blinking with his only eye at the sight of the group and just grins, nodding his head.  "This should prove ta be interesting."  The hare giving a slight nod to the group.

Apple smiles and shifts her parasole and walks with Brom to go greet them "Aye and look redwallers as well" she points at the large crowd of habit wearing beasts along with the otter crew.

Hallow chuckles at the dibbuns, following at a much more reasonable pace herself, a wave giving to the beasts in the town as she replies to Alrendo "Didn't loose a one, there's good for ye"

Kroova walks in last an very last he sets Gah down to run around an play." Sorry about that gah.

Alrendo nods "Oh aye it makes a change, glad we managed to keep them together, think that last song helped"

Brom nods and says, "Indeed." As the group gets closer he calls out, "Ahoy there mates! Welcome to Halyard!"

Slain grins a bit hoping Kroova hasn't noticed him yet and gives him a tap on the shoulder.

Jesse does a back-flip, and lands on his feet. He holds out his pouch of money, which is open.

Sieve claps, and goes over to Jesse, placing a copper in his pouch.

Kroova smiles." Ello Slain ye are getting better.

Gah goes quickly charging off after the other dibbuns, going to swamp round those in the village, staring up at them "Hi!"

Apple smiles and tips her hat to the otters "Aye as our good sherrif says Welcome to Halyard" she smiles odwn at Gaheris and Thomas and holds out a paw "Hello there little ones"

Thomas starts running around, and then stops in front of Apple. He hides, startled.

Slain smirks "Thank you Kroova, you're looking well old friend."

Alrendo smiles nad weaves his way past Slain slapping the lizard on the back "See we made it me matey" he moves over to Brom and smiles "Thank you for th einvite"

Jarril smiles and slowly leans on his bow a bit looking about, leaving the actual inhabitants of the village to welcome the newcomers first before introducing himself.  He does though smile at the young dibbuns.

Slain nods in agreement to Alrendo.

Jesse holds out his pouch towards Brom.

Brom grins at the gaggle of dibbuns and chuckles as they gawk at Apple, "That got them all quiet in a hurry." He then looks to Alrendo and says, "Well thanks for comin' mate. Wouldn't be much of a festival without a good sized group of beasts. I'm Brom Stormalong, Halyard's sheriff." He then looks to Jesse and arches a brow but takes the pouch, "Thanks. What's in it?" He asks, waiting for the answer before he looks

A young dibbun, an otter made carrying a smooth walking stick runs past Alrendo and straight into the Major, she falls back abd blinks up at him with milky white eyes, she's soon joined by two smaller male pups "Sowwy" she pipes up, thick whiskers bouncing as she waves her stick before her

Jesse snatches the pouch back. "Have you not seen minstrelsy and tumbling before?"

Rockfire goes over to get his family into a general group.

Jarril just laughs.  "That's okay, ya okay though, right?"  Bending down and offering a paw ta help the otter maid up.

Kroova smiles." So are ye matey I'm sure ye erd I left Camp Willow."

Apple laughs softly and smiles at the dibbuns "Well now me dears are you all here fer tha festival too? my my such a long way too come, glad ye all managed tae get yer parents ere safe an sound, Aye'm Apple"

Brom chuckles and says, "Can't say as I have."

Thomas looks up, and says, "I'm Thomas!"

The blind pup takes his paw and smiles feeling over it with her little paws "yes i'm fine, i'm tema...who are you?"

Slain raises a brow ridge "Left, no, I haven't heard about this."

Jesse says, "You're supposed to put coins in it in exchange for my services of entertainment."

Jarril replies back as he pulls Tema up to her feet.  "Majah Jarril of the long patrah, I'd say the rest but it may take a while.  Ya know how hares like ta have long names and all."

Alrendo smiles at Brom and nods "Well we are glad to be here, though herding that many dibbuns was a chore" he chuckles at Jesse "Come now Jesse wait tiull the festival starts before you start hogging all the beasts attention."

Hallow comes to a stop when she reaches the back of the dibbun group, keep an eye on the lot of them. Gah still staring up at Apple "'ou's a funny lookin' otter" he really hasn't got out of the camp enough.

The bling pup Tema giggles and holds up her stivck "I'm Tema an dis" she prods one of the pups "Is Dragoon an tha other is Tiberius an mama has another one inside her too" she grins and holds up her paws to him "So Magah UJarril wots a long pawtrol?"

Thomas nods in agreement to Gah's statement.

Apple laughs and stands up spreading her parasole over the dibbuns to keep sun off them "I am not an otter, i'm a Badger"

Jesse says, "Fine."

Kroova smiles." I now live at Green Isle in olt Summerdell I'm a skipper now of me own clan.

Brom ahhs, "Oh, my mistake. Sorry about that. " He digs a coin out real quick and then flicks it towards the mouse, "There you go mate." He then looks back to Alrendo and grins, "I can only imagine. Had a good trip down otherwise I hope?"

Slain pats Kroova on the shoulder "Well done Kroova, I'm happy for you."

Jesse catches the coin, and drops it into his pouch.

Alrendo nods to Brom "Oh it was peaceful enough, with four score otters, the Gousim and the beasts from Redwall, didn't think we had enough space on the rafts, but it all went well" he catches Kroova's words and smirks "Aye Slain but he still does everything his mother tells him too."

Jarril kneels down in front of Tema and reaches into his pocket, pulling out a dry slice of apple, handing it over to her.  "Well, the long patrah is when a lot of hares patrol this part of the land and keep away any beast that will do harm."

Tema laughs and accepts the apple and munches on it happily as her brothers charge off to juoin the crowd starring at Apple "Oh...you mean like miss Rakky isa a fixer an travels about to all the olts? fixing otters?"

Jesse takes out some knives, and starts juggling them.

Brom nods and looks about, "Aye, true enough. Four score you said?" He frowns a bit, "A bit more then I expected. Not sure if the tavern'll have enough room for all o' you. I'm sure we can work some stuff out though."

Gah stares up at Apple for a moment "Oh..'k.....ah'm da skipper" see what he can get out of her while Hallow's still out of hearing range to tell him off.

Kroova gives Al a look." Do not an me clan should be ere by tomorrow along with me older rother."

Jarril ponders for a moment before replying to Tema.  "Hmmm, quite.  Yes, ya could say that."

Slain chuckles "Well I'm still impressed Kroova."

Apple smiles down at te dibbuns and nods to Gaheris "Oh so your the skipper are you liddle one? well i'm the lady Northstar so i out rank you, i command all your dibbuns come with me to the tavern and we'll get you all fed"

Jesse continues juggling the knives. He says to Brom, "The road is home to the minstrel. I'll sleep outside."

Alrendo smiles at Kroova "If rakky showed up you'd hop to do what she wanted Kroova, no use denying it, we all would. And i look forwards to meeting your brother too." e turns back to Brom "Sorry about that, hmm well we could awlays set some tents up outside for most of the crew, and iknow the Gousim have brought pkenty of tents with them, if they can stop arguing with each other long enough to put them up.

Tema grins and stands up "So Majah wots you doin ere den? i can't smell any other hares"

Thomas says, "Yay! Does deys 'ab any otwoot zoup?"

Slain watches Jesse's knife juggling looking very impressed.

Kroova shakes his head." Well I could use a drink something good."

Jarril replies back to Tema.  "I am off duty, ya know when ya don't have chores ta do and can relax, that's what I am doing, relaxing here.  Don't worry though, I am sure ya will see a lot more hares over the next few days.  We live just a bit down south in a big mountain."  Grinning slightly.  "Well, not just hares, we have others living there as well, some otters, squirrels but mostly hares."

The maid giggles and swats out at the Major with her walking stick "Not seeing, all i see is darkness, i smell though...an you smell of sand an alcohol and oil too"

Hallow moves back into the group of otters to quickly check on things, be busy and make sure all there really.

Jesse catches the knives, and lights three small torches, and starts juggling them.

Apple stands up and starts to lead the dibbuns towards the tavern "Come along now dears, lets go inside and see what we can find"

Brom chuckles a bit as he glances to the group of shrews not to far out, "Aye. Well there are actually a good amount of empty residents so we can probably offer those up. I'll have to talk to a few others about that though. Should be able to get your crew settled into place before tonight I'm sure." He glances around at the crowd that has suddenly arrives and hms as he ponders real quick. "So who is the Skipper now adays?"

Alrendo smiles "Well that'd be mighty kind of you" he points after Hallow who is chivvyning otters about "Hallow is the skipper but as you can see she's a tad distracted with the others so just tell me where you want us and i'll get us settled in."

Jarril grins.  "Ah, nothing fools that bally nose of ya's, does it Tema, good show, wot."

Kroova gose in his pack an pulls out a flask of october ale on pulls out the stopper an takes a good long drink smileing." Ah tis better."

Apple carries on herding the dibbuns away and into the tavern and soon is out of sight

The otter maid Tema grins and decides she likes the major, "Nope nothing gets past my nose mista Majah"

Brom grins and says, "I'm sure. Well you're welcome to check out all of the shops. The tavern over there is a good place to get your whistles wetted and some food. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy your stay. I'm going to go and talk to the tavern keep and see how many they can house there."

Jarril looks about and grins.  "I think the rest have gone in for some tuckah, how say we go in and do some search for vittles ourselves using that good nose of ya's?  May as well use it for something good."

Kroova smiles as he hears Tema voice." An what do I smell like Tema an my ye ave grown last time I seen ye."

Tema smirks at the Major "Ok den you lead da way in den" she turns her head to look at Kroova "You stink of da sea Uncle Kroova, and oil and ale"

Alrendo nods to brom "Ok Brom thanks i'll ssee about dispersing this lot, and thanks for having your badger look after the dibbuns i think we needed a rest"

Kroova laughs." Hey I smell good dont I Alrendo?"

Alrendo looks at Kroova and grins "if my daughter says you stink then you stink Kroova, fact of life" he smirks at his pup

Jarril laughs as he stands back up again, straightening out his uniform.  Taking Tema's paw.  "Right, this way, wot.  Let us find something good, so what's ya favourite thing ya like ta eat?"

Jesse still juggles the fire.

Brom grins and says, "Not a problem mate. She's been in that type of motherly mood lately. Anyhow, I'll see you around I'm sure" then offers out a paw in departing

Alrendo shakes Brom's paw and nods heading over to herd the otters away down the street and stop blocking the road "Ok Brom see you later matey"

Kroova shrugs an frown's." Scallywags ye lot riverdogs will ne'er get um."

Tema smirks and swings the Majors paw letting him lead her along "otroot, dats wot"

Jarril grins.  "Aye, should've thought, our cook's into that as well.  Maybe ya see him during the festival, that's when he's not busy cooking for us hares that is."  With that Jarril leads Tema into the tavern.

You enter the tavern.

Halyard Tavern: Main Room
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Halyard Tavern ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Warmly lit by torches along the walls and lanterns set upon the many tables
scattered around the room, the main room of the Halyard Tavern is an often-
populated area. One corner of the tavern is taken up by a stage, about a
foot or two higher than the rest of the floor, where live entertainment
performs, while circular tables, both large and small, are set up in front
of the stage, spreading out into the center of the room. Meanwhile, around
the perimeter of the tavern, booths are set, and, of course, the obligatory
bar rests against the far wall, a bartender or barmaid always on duty.

[K]itchen                       [O]ut to [E]ntrance
 
Tema grins and follows the Major into the tavern, Apple appears to have settled the other dibbuns down with fish stew and dumplings, which was no mean feat, she's then retired to the kitchens to have a sit down.

Jarril makes his way to one of the empty tables, which aren't that many now and helps Tema down into the seat.  "Okay, I see what I can find for ya.  Now stay here while I go ta the bar."  Looking about, the hare makes his way over to where the bar is and smiles at one of the beasts looking a bit flustered and smiles.  "Don't worry, ya get plenty of tip, think of that, wot."  The hare begins to enquire on what is left vittles wise.

Kroova walks into the tavern an takes a set.

Thomas is sitting at a lone table, eating a small bowl of hotroot soup.

Tema sits quietly and taps her stick on the table, listening to the chattering and the shouting from the dibbun sitters watching them and making sure everyone eats, "Ok Majah i'll stay here...you just come back soon"

Kroova smiles at Tema." Ye still look as beautiful as ever." He thinks maybe Rakky could help Tema see agin after all she can do things he cant yet.

Jarril nods his head to the mouse serving up a bowl of soup and a mug of water.  Looking at the mouse, he grins.  "Sorry old chap, this is still classed as me buying it and I get free stuff here from now on."  Turning around he makes his way back and places the bowl and mug down onto the table in front of Tema before sitting down himself.

Alrendo walks into the room and shakes his head "Gods this is worse then the journey" he chuckles and moves to th table where Tema and Jarril are, TEma grins and sniffs "Wot is it?"

Jarril looks at it.  "Er, vegetable soup, it's all that they had left.  I am afraid all of the hotroot soup was taken up rather quickly."  Looking about the room he returns his gaze back to Tema.  "I tell ya what, before I head back ta the mountain I make sure they give ya a fresh serving of it first tomorrah."  He reaches over and shows her where the bowl is and the mug of water.  Then he hands over a wooden spoon.

Kroova order some very spicey hotroot soup an some Skilly-n-Duff a favorite sea otter dish an begins eating.

Kaim enters then, the otter tentatively opening the door and closing it behind him, voicing his thoughts to himself, "I hope I'm in the right place this time. It's certainly bustling out there."

Tema smiles and takes the spoon and promptly ignores it by sticking her muzzle in the soap, soaking her whiskers as she slurps it up "K Majah Jawwil....kin i go to da mountain too?" Alrendo chuckles and stops by the Table "She's not causing you trouble is she sir?" he then spots Kail and goes haring off, never a moments peace, got to rescue the abbey otter now "Kail there you are, where are the oter abbey beasts? settling in?"

Jarril grins and see's Alrendo run off again as he turns to face Tema.  "I would ask ya father about that, but I think that can be arranged, can't come all the way here without seeing the mountain just once."

Kaim stops as he is hailed, smiling, "Ah, so I /am/ in the right place. Yes, everybeast seems to be doing just fine." he responds, attentive to the situation going on around him.

tema laughs and throws the spoon at where she thinks Jarril is from the direction of his voice "Not see it can, but dadee easy to convince...we kin slip off an you show it me yes? lotsa sounds an smells to be had yes" Alrendo smiles at Kaim and nods ushering him back towards the Major and tema "Well come sit down and get something to eat, you abbeybeasts were a great help on the way down"

Kroova finish his meal an takes the soup to Tema an sets it down ." There ye go oh an when we get back ta the Camp af'er the festival I'd like ta Rakky's cave."

Jarril catches the spoon with his paw and nods his head.  "My apologises."  He hands back the spoon and shakes his head, hoping Tema will forget such a request.

Kaim can feel the other otter guiding him forward, and allows this, replying, "Well, we do love to help." as he reaches ou, his webbed paw eventually coming into contact with a table.

Another hare enters the Tavern looking a bit confused on the matter, Whitepaw blinks at the site from within and goes about searching for someone from within the chaos that looms at the moment.

Tema stares blankly at te spoon and throws it at Kroova this time before sticking her muzzle back in the soap, slurping it down happily "K i forgive ye majah but yer mnie now all for the festival, you gots ta take me aboot" she grins up at him. Alrendo meanwhile helps Kail into a seat and nods to Kroova "Why do you wnt to take my daughter to rakky Kroova?"

Kroova catches the spoon." I want to Have her elp out abit might be good for her." He's not going to tell him what he's going to try an do."

Brom comes on out from the kitchen where the cook is busy with prepping the food. Wading back into the crowd, the sheriff glances around to see if he can find Alrendo

Jarril grins.  "Well, I be around later tomorra.."  He stops talking to Tema and spots the other hare and beckons him over.  Leaning back in the chair he smiles.  "Ah, Whitepaw.  Ya look a bit flustered."  Whitepaw gives a salute.  "Sah, we're ready for setting things up tonight.  Ya will be there won't ya?"  Jarril nods.  "Aye, we do it only when it gets ta dark.  Go back and make sure the recruits know not ta leave the mountain tonight."  Pausing after a thought.  "Best make sure all hares know not ta say anything, don't want any cheating now, do we?"  Seeing Whitepaw nod, he gives another salute.  "Right-o Sah."  Turning around, he makes his way through the crowd and slips out of the tavern.

Kaim sits as Alrendo directs him, his stick laid on the floor beside him. He's quiet, listening to the banter thrown back and forth.

Tema claps her paws and pushes her empty bowl away "Ok den Majuah you kin show me aboot den" she listens to him talking to the other hare and giggles flickign her ears "Nervous he smelt yes, why" Alrendo meanwhile is starring at Kroova "I'm not having you or you rmother's voodoo near my daughter Kroova unless you tell me what it is" he glances at the pup then back at the seaotter "you can talk to me about this latter, in private." he looks at Kaim and pats his shoulder "You wait there i'll go grab us both something to eat," he starts for the bar and pauses to stop some dibbuns from arguing over some cakes.

Jarril looks at Tema.  "Probably because there's so many new faces, he's a bit shy, spends most of his time alone on patrahs.  He's a runnah, tracker like myself, though he's a good hare on my patrah nonetheless.  Trust him I do."

Kroova just smiles at him an thats it." I'll tell ye tomorrow."

Brom spots the albino and makes way to him, "Hello there mate. The tavern keeper seems to have disapeared for a short bit but I've talked with the cook anyway about what the tavern can offer."

Avoryn Orders some plain bread and waits at the table "There's a big crowd here today, Aint there, Brom?

Kaim smiles, speaking to himself and anybeast that might be listening, "It's as bustling today as it ever was in regular holt life."

She nods and flicks her whiskers spraying Kroova, Kaim and Jarril with vegetable soap from them "Ok den...so wots a patrah loike den Mister Majah?" she looks around and listens carefully. Alrendo meanwhile has gotten some soup and returns to the table, placing a bowl before Kaim and pressing a spoon into his paws "Aye as bustling as ever, and its bound to get worse, make a nice change from the quiet of the cloisters at redwall."

Avoryn starts to munch on the Bread he has recieved. He eats quietly, and sighs

Jarril ponders this question. "Hmm, no one's told ya about the Long Patrah.  Hmm, just what are they teaching ya?"  He goes quiet and finally answers.  "A patrah is say half or a full score of hares but can be as small as just four hares or even just one.  They patrah the area, searching for any vermin, pirates or slavers in the area.  If we find them, we stop them basically."  The major doesn't go in what way they're stopped though.

Alrendo turns to brom at last and smiles, looking haressed "Oh sorry brom matey missed ye there, wot was that? gone off you say? she probably saw us coming and did a runner, anyhow where do you want us to put the dibbuns up? i should get em to bed soonish its been a long day" Tema meanwhile is listening to Jarril and grins and claps her paws "oooh so you run bout an stop slavers? dats good, Skiipper Hallow an da crew did tha last year, Dadee made a big saga bout it he did, its very long"

Avoryn Speaks up " I'd Bet there's one Vermin they Haven't been Able to catch yet

Jarril looks about.  "Excuse me, going ta get a drink."  The major pushes his chair back and makes his way towards the bar again, ordering a mug of blackberry ale.

Brom chuckles and says, "Don't worry about it mate, kind of loud and busy in here. Anyhow you have a few choices. There are 6 rooms that have been outfitted with multiple beds that are available for rent. If there's any of your crew that would like to have a room of their own, there are 4 rooms available but they'll cost extra. There are also four buildings that have been cleaned up in the east square, but there really aren't any beds there so the beasts stayin' there will have to sleep on blankets. If that doesn't work for you, let me know. Like I mentioned there are some abandoned residences that we can open up if need be."

Rhowena looks inquiringly at Avoryn.

Avoryn says, "Ah, It's nothing, Just thinking aloud really. A little incident that happened a few seasons back"

Jarril slowly makes his way back and sits back down on the chair, taking a sip of his ale and placing it down on the table before grinning.  "Ah, yes."  He hands over a scone to Tema.  "Got ya this for ya pudding."

Rhowena hmms.

Alrendo nods and thinks about it and taps the table with a paw "Ok then well most of the crew can make do with those buildings you mentioned we can make up beds out of blankets and the like, a proper holt nest should do it, youo know what us otters are like for snoring." he looks up and hmms "How about i take one of those rooms for the dibbuns? and i'd best take an individual room for the Skipper and Haran as well."

Tema smirks and accepts the scone and bites into it "Good good, we go splore all over tomorrow see all da stools den Majah"

Jarril nods.  "Once my duties are finished, which won't be until the feast I am afraid.  I have things ta do back at the mountain."

Brom grins and nods, "Sounds like a plan. The Tavern owner is Keita, a hare with one leg. You'll need to settle the payments with her but I'm sure she wont mind if you have the dibbuns take a room now and pay her when she comes back. I'm sorry to rush out but I'd better go check and see about those abandoned residences. The building that are already cleaned are the last four ones in the east square. Should keep you plenty warm with all the body heat

Tema nods and smiles happpily "k den will smell you oot when you gets here yes, so will i"

Jarril mentally makes a point of having a bath when he gets back to the mountain but doesn't say such.  He coughs and nods his head.  "Aye and I have no doubt that ya will as well."

And with that the Sheriff heads out of the tavern, wading through the new crowd and the regular dinner crowd that is trying to come in too.

Alrendo nods and stands up "Ok Brom i'll go send the crew over to make up a nest for us, after i get this lot upstairs" he moves to pick up Tema and kisses her forehead "Come along you mucky pup, bath then bed" he looks around "For all of you, and if you come quietly i'll even sing youa song" there is some grumbling but with the otters help he starts to herd them all upstairs, Tema calls out from Alrendo's arms "Smell you soon Majah"

Jarril chuckles and sups his ale, before shaking his head as he lowers the mug back onto the table.

Rhowena orders some bread and cheese, humming to herself while she waits.

Now that the room has resembled some quietness after all of the excited dibbuns have gone upstairs, Jarril gives a soft sigh and drinks his ale slowly, muttering to himself as he chuckles.  "Just like leverets, aye..."

Rhowena makes herself a sandwich with her food and takes a large bite.

Jarril finishes his drink and gets up from his table, moving to one of the walls and picking up his bow and quiver bag.  Looking about for a moment he slowly makes his way towards the exit.
