General: Fylec, where is the Inn?
Fylec: Oh, right the map. Oh, it's on the outskirts near the port!Jokesum: Alright, let's get four rooms.Berd: Four? You don't want two doubles?Jokesum: The heck? No, I'd rather sleep in my own small room!Berd: That's fair, alright.

The group then follow the maps directions towards the Inn as they see three humanoids leave it, upon entering they are greeted by a green skinned, four foot tall being.

Jerry: Hello, welcome to the Sleepy Mouse! I'm Jerry, I'm the host here. How many rooms would you like?Fylec: Oh, hi Jerry.Jerry: Hi!Fylec: Four rooms please!Jerry: Oh, so one each? Not a problem! Ytrom, come help our guests with their bags!Berd: Oh that won't be...whoa!

A brown haired, hunched over disgusting looking creature scrabbles its way over to the group from out of under the staircase. It breathes uneasily as it waits.

Jerry: Four rooms will be eight gold, please. Are you sure you don't need help with your bags?General: We're sure, thank you Jerry.Jokesum: Here, the eight gold.

Handing over the gold, Jokesum sees Jerry shooing Ytrom back into its hide-away under the stairs.

Jerry: Very good, enjoy your rooms. They are all upstairs, no keys required.

Making their way up the creaking stairs, the group notice that the four rooms are on opposite sides of the corridor with a room between each. Serparating, they all see that their rooms are not much to look at with a rickety looking bed and an oil lamp upon a misshapen shelf on the wall. As they all begin to try and get sleep, noises are heard from the others room, and the sounds are not good. With scraping and hacking heard all through the night, as the team cannot sleep they all then leave their own rooms and notice their friends in the corridor.

Berd: (whispering) The heck is going on?Fylec: (whispering) There goes another night without sleep!General: (whispering) Another? We've had good nights sleep when it has been night time.Jokesum: (whispering) Alright, fellas let's get back to the situation. As Berd had said, the heck is going on?

The scrapping and hacking sounds suddenly stop as footsteps are then heard approaching the four doorways then each one opens at the same time as four other beings, that look like the Innkeeper Jerry, stride out into the corridor and then down the stairs.

Berd: Uh, I guess it was just those guys setting up the rooms?Fylec: Well, the sounds have stopped.General: Alright, guys. I'll go and speak to Jerry if you all want to go back to sleep.Jokesum: (yawning) Thanks Mood, see you in the morning guys!
