Journey Of Two

The two started walking out of the forest and into the grassy plains hoping to make it to the nearby town without any other incidents popping up. With a moment of silence Shalador was able to admire the peaceful surrounding with the occasional bit of wildlife running through the feild and the sun setting over the horizon before the moment ended and Febbs began talking again, "Hey, what were those things back there anyways?".

"Most likely goblins. They were probably scouts or else the would have been tougher than they were"

"Scouts? Thinking back to it they were talking about something while looking in this direction. Do you know what they were speaking about?"

" Unfortunately I don't actually speak goblin so i don't know what they were speaking of. But hey it probably doesn't matter were only staying in the town for a bit then moving on so unless something happens in that time then we don't have to deal with it."

"But what if-" but before Febbs could continue his sentence he was interrupted by a sigh

"Oh look were here". Looking over Febbs saw a scene he hasn't seen in a decent amount of time, civilization. A town with people going about their daily business, relaxing on a bench or entering and exiting stores, its was all a scene he's long since forgotten at this point till now. "Look if you're still on about the goblins then how about we ask one of the townspeople if anything been going on".

After saying so Shalador began walking towards a older man sitting on a bench watching kids playing in the park. "Hello sir, I was wondering if you happen to know if anything strange has been going on or anything out of the ordinary?". The sudden voice from behindstarteled teh older man causing him to jump a little before turing around, but after seeing that a elf and some kind of lizard was speaking to him instead of shock only confusion grew on his face

"Um and who might you and the feller behind ye be?"

"I am Shalador a elf and this is my companion Febbs a dragonborn, we are travelers passing through the town and saw something strange outside of town so we were wondering if anything like that has been happening in this town"

"Ah I see, I see. Well ye youngsters are mighty kind for carin but nothin strange has been goin on round here". Upon hearing so Shalador looked towards Febbs with a smile before turning back to the old man.

"Thank you sir for the help". Turning to leave a thought struck Shalador causing him to turn around once more to the old man "You wouldn't happen to know if there is a Tavern or Inn in this town would you? If there is would you mind pointing us in the direction"

"There is a tavern tavern which ye could probably get a room for the night at, just head down the road a bit then if ye turn right you should see it there"

"Once again thank you sir for the help". After thanking the man Shalador began walking in the directions the man gave and Febbs quickly followed after. "See nothing is wrong, now i'm quite tired so what do you say we get something to eat at the tavern then rest for the night?". Febbs nodded in agreement but said nothing while continuing to look down at the ground for a moment before looking up once again and continuing on.

By the time they reached the tavern the sun had just set and the only lights in the town were now ones coming from fires or other forms of artificial lights in the building. Heading to the entrance they said a sign outside the building with a sigh reading

[Green Hog]

Heading into the building Febbs saw a counter with a beautiful looking lady behind it wiping the counter and a couple of tables that he found only empty but i don't mind it much and walked over to the counter "Heyyyyyy so what's your name?".

'My name's Meg! I haven't seen outsiders like you in a long time!, Well would you guys like a room and food, maybe some alcohol. Whatever you want we have all three!"

"Since you have all tree how could i not want all three!' After saying so he slammed a few silver coins down on the counter "So Meg what are you doing late-" before he was able to complete his sentence he was pushed aside by Shalador who came up next to him. By now Febbs was starting to get annoyed by all this interrupting going on.

"Ahem, you'll have to forgive my companion here, he hasn't spoken to someone else as pretty as you before. But while we are on the topic may i say you are in fact quite stunning looking would you care for a drink later". Towards these attempts at courting her Meg only smiled before taking the silver off the counter and walking to the kitchen before coming out with two small bowls of soup and two cups which were filled up with alcohol shortly after.

"So how long will you two be staying?" Meg asked while continuing with the smile from earlier

Thinking for a moment Shalador put a few more silver coins down on the table before saying "We'll be staying three nights". Collection the coins Meg counted before putting them with the others she grabbed before she handed them both keys with [2B] [2C] on them.

"Your rooms are just upstairs, just head to the rooms with the same letter as the key and that'll be the one you get.". After speaking a bit more with the elf and weird lizard person meg went back to the other side of the room and pulled out a book before writing down it it while continuing to server what little customers were in the tavern. After finishing their food and drinks Shalador and Febbs headed upstairs and found theirs rooms next to each other

"Oh before you go, Shalador I think we need to talk about you interrupting me all th-" Febbs said to Shalador who was about to close the door before being interrupted once more by Shalador telling him

"Good night~". Seeing that he was interrupted for a third time Febbs stomped into his room agrily before falling asleep and forgetting about the whole incident.

Hearing the loud snores coming from the next room Shalador laughed for amount before lying on the bed and began to think of the event of the day " First the goblins looking at the town then the town having a small amount of people in the tavern at what should be a busy time for this place…" " I think something is going on here and it's probably best to leave sooner rather then later or else a certain someone may want to get involved" "When the morning comes i'll speak to Febbs about getting ready to set off". After thinking so Shalador slowly began to fall asleep on the bed until his dreams took the better of him and he himself started snoring as well

*BANG*

With a loud crash coming from downstairs the two travelers who've been living in the wilderness for a few months immediately woke up and grabbed their stuff to head downstairs to see what happened. Upon seeing what was going on Shalador muttered in a low voice "damn… we should have left even earlier!"
