	Begrudgingly you hand over twenty crowns to the young 
Š	man before you and your companions stable your horses 
Š	and enter the inn. To your disappointment you 
Š	discover that it is a dreary place with few 
Š	furnishings and decorations to soften its grey, 
Š	spartan interior. A dozen villagers sit huddled 
Š	around a pair of circular tables. With an air of 
Š	boredom they sip their watery ale and stare at the 
Š	walls in dull-eyed silence. The innkeeper, who is the 
Š	father of the toll collector, serves you each a plate 
Š	of stale bread and cheese for your supper. He tries 
Š	to engage the marines in conversation, but they are 
Š	so disgruntled with the poor food that they 
Š	deliberately ignore him. Oswin suggests that you all 
Š	get some sleep and make an early start, and the 
Š	others heartily agree.

		
	If you possess the Grand Master discipline of 
Š	Bardsmanship, and you possess a musical instrument,

	If you do not possess this skill, or if you do not 
Š	have a musical instrument, turn to â8â
