You make your way to the inn. It’s not a fancy place, but it looks warm and inviting.

People from all walks of life gather at the tables, chatting, enjoying the daily stew, or just leaning back to relax.

A little kid runs around the inn, and his dad calls after him. The child bumps into you, looks up, and giggles at your bewildered face. His dad arrives and picks him up, mumbling apologies to you. You reassure him that it’s no problem. As he carries his kid away, the child waves “bye-bye” at you from over his father’s shoulder.

You weave through the throng and finally reach the desk. Then you present your guild membership pass. The innkeeper, a middle-aged woman, nods absently. She utters, “Two silver pieces per night.”

Take two silver pieces off your inventory.

A teenage boy, probably the innkeeper’s son, leads you to your room and hands you a key. Your aching muscles cry out with joy when you see the comfortable, lush-looking bed.

After a wonderful night of sleep, you wake up fully refreshed and optimistic about the day ahead.

Recover your health back up to its maximum.

You eat a quick but fulfilling breakfast from the inn’s menu. Do you want to buy some rations to save for later?

Take one silver piece off your inventory per ration, buying a maximum of two.
