The Seventh Star Inn

[Mithadan]

Ai! Customers and the common room's not near ready! The Innkeeper placed two fingers in his mouth and gave a piercing whistle. After a few moments, the kitchen door swung open and several cloaked figures issued out into the room, only to seemingly melt into the shadows. A refilled cup of wine appeared at the elbow of the Innkeeper, who sat back and watched as Estelyn approached the newcomers.

The sound of a bucket dropping into a well came from outside. The scratching of a broom on the stone floor could be heard though it was difficult to see where the noise came from. When the Innkeeper glanced behind the bar several minutes later, the wood shelves had been wiped and a line of bottles and glasses had appeared. Soon a fire was roaring in the hearth.

The Innkeeper nodded with a smile. Good! they haven't forgotten how to work.
