A wave of laughter, and the mixed smell of pipe smoke and ale washes over you as you open one of the double doors that leads into The Wayfarer's Rest. Guardsman Jackson at the gate into Clifton suggested this inn, saying, "If you need a place to stay, the Wayfarer's Rest is a great place to find a bed. Tell old Borris that Guardsman Jackson sent you, and he will give you an ale."
A few steps into the common room and the cooking smells coming from the kitchen make your mouth water.The inn itself is a fairly large three story rectangle, the exterior recently white washed, and the windows and doors are bordered in chestnut stained wood. The common room is quite large, with twin fire places set in opposite walls. A dozen round tables cover the center of the room, with several long tables with benches along the outside. A few more private booths line the back wall.
Groups of men sit at all the round tables, laughing, dicing, and listening to a fellow play the dulcimer. A group of guards sit in one of the booths, looking visably bothered.When you enter, several people look up for a moment before going back to what they were doing before. One fellow even nods a greeting. The closest server brushes past you with a laden tray, "Find a spot where you can M'deary, we will be with you shortly." Another server finds you almost immediately after you find a spot, "What can I get you hun?" After placing your order, you spot another fellow entering the common room from the back where the servers have been coming and going. The front half of the man's head is bald, and the rest is graying. He's wearing simple white cotton, and a leather belt strains to contain his considerable girth. Over the rest he wears a pristine white apron. One of the guards shouts, "Innkeep!" and the man heads to their table. He must be the Old Borris that Guardsman Jackson was speaking about.

As Daenerys walks into the inn, she adjusts her hood so as to advert the stares from those around her. She finds a seat, and nods a hello to the passing server. She glances up from behind her hood trying hard to hide her face as she says "I'll have the biggest, and strongest drink you have." As the server turns to leave Daenerys grabs her wrist, "Better make it two." The server looks at her with concern, "Bad day?" Daenerys snickers, "You have no idea... I wouldn't even know where to begin." As she sits waiting for her drinks, she can feel someones eyes on her, she fights the urge to throw one of her daggers into a corner so as to silence those piercing eyes. Just as she stands up to walk out, the server comes with her drinks, "Here you are deary," she says smiling. As Daenerys sits down, her hood falls away to show what she has been trying to hide for so long. The light catches her skin, and it's almost too beautiful to stand. "Oh my" cries the server, and just as she tries to explain from across the room a voice rings out "DAENERYS! COME SIT WITH US! ITS BEEN TO LONG!" She glances towards the door, and is stuck staring in total shock. There standing before her is her long dead brother. "R-R-R- Roman? This cant be." As she walks towards her brother, she reaches out to touch his face. She blinks away tears, for when she touches him, he disappears and she remembers. She remembers why she stays out of the light.

As tears well up in her eyes Daenerys quickly flips her hood back throwing some coins to the server as she turns and strides towards the door. "i knew this was a bad idea, i never should have come here". As she reaches for the door, it flies open as a group of what she can only guess as more humans wanting to celebrate another kill (no doubt it was a innocent creature like so many others) She quickly steps to the side as they stomp thru, trying her best to ignore their laughter and shouting. As the last of the group comes thru the door she quickly trys to get out of there before someone else comes. As she steps thru the doorway she takes one last look behind her sighs and shakes her head. Suddenly she feels a cold shiver crawl up her spine " ugh i knew a smelled a rat" Your know i could say the same about you? said a voice that she knew all to well. Guess you finally found me.. So what do you want this time? Just wanna have a chat is all as a fist connects with her chin and it all goes black.

"Oy" You hear a voice say. You cringe as you feel your senses come back. The first thing you feel is the sting from your jaw. You force your eyes open and you come to see the world spinning around you in a maze of every changing colors and shapes. After a bit it finally stops you see a fellow Dragonborn standing over you (This one with Red scales). She's hefting a large axe on her shoulder and wears her cloak like a cape, shes covered by a tunic made of some beast's fur. "You alive?" She asks without much concern in her voice. You get a look at your surroundings and find yourself back outside of Clifton with several human males laying in the mud around you. All of them groaning in pain or unconscious.

Daenerys rubs her temple, "Yeah... Barely... uhhh" Dany stands up slowly as the world keeps spinning around her. Rubbing her jaw, she looks around at the men on the ground. She walks towards her kin, and kicks one of the men in the stomach. "Curse you arsehole! Count yourself lucky that I have a headache, otherwise you wouldn't be getting up again...
She turns to her fellow Dragonborn and says, "Thanks, normally I can take care of myself. I guess my guard was down... So, thanks again. Dany extends her hand; I'm Daenerys, but call me Dany. And you are?"

The larger Dragonborn smiles as you boot one of the downed men. But just looks at your hand and then to you when you extend it to her. "Kiha" She says simply and then turns around to walk away. You look past her and see the farmlands just outside the wall. Maybe she lives there?

drops my hand and shrugs, "Ummm ok well" sees her walking away "oh ok just walk way that not rude at all" I follow Kiha as she walks away wondering why i'm following her. "hey uh Kiha? two questions.. one being what brought you to Clifton? and two who lives in those houses there"

Kiha loudly clicks her tongue in annoyance as you follow her and ask her questions. "None of your business" She growls "and the poor farmers that supply this miserable town with food" Kiha spits out as she continues on her way. "Now go back to wherever you came from and stay there. You shouldn't be here if you can't even handle the common rabble that walks the insides of those walls" She says and waves you off.

"Oh..Ok well thanks anyway" I pick up my stride and walk towards the farm hoping that maybe i can grab some scraps *rubs my stomach as it imitate a drowning cat* "SAFE TRAVELS KIRA!!!" i scream as she walks away from my view. "HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!!" i turn to continue on my way picking an apple off a near by tree as i walk closer to the farm houses. i smile as the juices run down my face. Its been a long time since i had one of these.. i had almost forgotten how good they are.

You see Kiha visibly shudder at your yelling voice and stop to let out a sigh before waving back at you as she continues on her way. As you crunch happily on your apple you hear: "'Ey!" Coming from behind you. You turn and see an older looking human with a pitch fork. He shakes it at you, his knees visibly knocking as he says: "Now, listen here' Scaley. You take that apple and no more. You go on your way or they'll be trouble" He threatens weakly, thrusting his pitch fork in your general direction. You look and see where you pulled the apple from was indeed behind the Farmer's fence, but it was leaning out enough for you to snag it without much effort.  |

*takes another bite of the apple chews and swallows before i snicker and say* Scaley?? really?? wow that's very intimidating..*slaps the pitchfork out of my face* Now see here's the thing number one i didn't realize the apple was on your land otherwise i wouldn't have taken it. and number two if your knees weren't shaking like the leaves on this here tree in the wind i might actually be slightly concerned. Now if you don't mind ill be on my way since I'm such nuisance for eating one apple off of a tree that has so many more. Good.... day.. *turns around and starts walking away from the farmers land grumbling and mumbling as a go* stupid farmers and their ignorance to others, wait why is he stupid I'm the thief technically.. yea well i was hungry so sue me.. *kicks a stone as i come to the fork in the road* ugh!! now what am i gonna do?? *looks in both directions to my left is the road back to town and to my right is the way Kiha went* what to do.. what to do.. Oh! i know. * walks out onto where the roads meet closes my eyes and spins in a circles three times* 1... 2.... 3.. opens my eyes and starts walking* Lets see where life will take me. * continues eat my apple as i walk not knowing where this path goes*

As you spin about you open your eyes and see the vast expanse of the wilderness expand out before you. With the large walls of the city at your back, the worn dirt paths that you came from to your right and the dividing roads to your left. You also think you see something out in the swamp's great expanse. It seems like a couple of figures far off in the distance.

She heads towards the swamp crunching on her apple as she walks. "i need to figure out how to stop the village people from coming closer to the wilderness,they have destroyed enough as is." As she continues walking the smells of the swamp fill her lungs and she is instantly calmed almost like she is breathing for the first time. She removes her hood to let the air blow thru her air and feel it on her skin. After finishing the apple she finds a empty grassy spot by a tree beside the road and lays in the shade hoping to sleep off the throbbing in her head.

You awaken sometime later with the sun already having passed in zenith. You figure its into the afternoon and you slept for about an hour. Your feeling more refreshed than before. That nap was just what the witch doctor ordered. You go to sit up and take in your surroundings when you become aware of the fact that there is a heavy weight on your chest. Your eyes travel down and you see the sleeping reptilian head laid on top of you. Connected to a lizard about the size of horse. It seems this not-so-little guy decided you were a big white pillow. How do you respond?

"Are you kidding me... UGH!!" she exclaims while trying to slide out from under the giant reptile. After about 10 mins of trying to figure out how to get up and away while cursing a grumbling she finally just gives in and starts petting its head and tries to relax. " maybe if i stop fighting it will wake up and go back where ever it came from"

You try through gritted teeth to rouse the beasty from its slumber having little to no effect till you find a spot that makes it twitch, so you hit it again and again. And the overgrown critter twitches and rolls itself off of you, waking up as it realizes the warm thing it was a laying on isn't under it any longer. The creature brings itself up to its full height and you realize the thing probably eats horses. Oh, dear... It looks at you, its head tilting to the side. What now?  |
