A well-deserved rest

In the town of Amanad, famous for its healing waters, strange things start happening and there seems to be more at work than what meets the eye. Can a group of brave adventurers solve the riddle?

A well-deserved rest

Post by ManWithDoor » Thu Nov 21, 2019 7:07 pm

Fumbus' eyes go wide at the luxury in front of him. Hot baths, massages, and food literally floated over to you? Now the women aren't really his type. The greener the skin, the sexier the woman, right? But he isn't about to quibble when this place is already fantastic beyond imagining. "Bordo? Come on, that's got to be a nickname or something. You're clearly the avatar of some sort of joy and pleasure god, am I right?"
Loving this place already. I vote we just never leave. Entire Campaign getting pampered anyone?

Campaign Victory! And we lived happily ever after
Carver isn't sure about this place as first, but then he just gives in. "Bordo eh, well Bordo we are here for some healing, some rest, and to enjoy some time. Where do we clean up and get ourselves one of those bath suits?" He is willing to just undress where ever and slip into the bath with some ale and chicken and some healing.

Merisiel eyes the place, taking everything in. "Bordo, what other luxuries are available besides the baths themselves? I see food and drink about."

Bordo smiles. "We have everything you gentlebeings need. Food, rest, entertainment... and some interesting other guests you might like to talk to at dinner. You just register with our secretary in the next room and pay, and you shall be our guests."
You decide to do that, and go to the secretary's office in the other room. After you pay for a week here in the bathhouse, you still have ample treasure left for anything else you plan for after your stay. You get three single rooms next to each other on the upper floor, and there you find simple bathclothes and towels, as well as some fruit.

Merisiel changes into her bath clothes, grabs a couple of towels--including one in which she hides her dagger--then heads down to the baths, where she soaks in the hot water, enjoying the food and drink--though in moderation. She wanted to be able to enjoy dinner. And she always liked to keep her head clear, since you never knew when and where danger might come from.

The goblin looks awkward in the fresh bath clothing, clearly more comfortable in his haphazard and threadbare leathers. He practically dives into the hot water, luxuriating after a long and dangerous mission. "Now this is the life! Every town should treat us like this after we help them out. Best gratitude ever."

The heroes enjoy the waters and feel that some of their wounds do not hurt as badly as before. In the evening, they change into their normal clothes for dinner. The meal is served in a great hall, and upon entering, they see an assortment of people there, waiting for the meal. A tall, dark-haired woman in riding boots and a battered breastplate walks up to them when they enter. "Be greeted, honorable gentlemen and lady. Whence doth fate lead you to this most depraved place of sinfulness? What is the reason for your travels through the dangerful wilderness to reach this place?"

Carver enjoys the salt springs, a smaller pool to the side of the main one. It has a rich salt composite and really gets in the nooks and crannies soothing various aches and pains. His foot needs attention from a healer, or a priest, but the salt water soak does wonders for it and his spirit.

After its time he's out of the water and dressed in new clothing, his old ones are too battle tattered, so he buys something new, nothing fancy, but clean cotton is a rare thing where he's from and he doesn't complain about the smooth fabric compared to the normal wool or burlap more common among his people.

Carver gatherings himself a plate of meat, lamb, ham, roast, whatever it might be. He helps slice and serve others. A few heavy starches, a potato or two, some thick sourdough bread thick with butter. He' avoids the green food, vegetables or fruits, those aren't on his menu typically.

Sitting, with a plate and a mug of honey mead he replies with a mouthful to the woman, "Well we just fended off a zombie attack, and need some rest and recovery. To be honest, the place we came from, full of bad memories and a lot of rotting corpses, not pleasant at all!"

Merisiel lods up on food as well. She nods at Carver's words, while looking at the woman oddly. "What's so sinful about this place? The worst I've seen is some booze, maybe some petty gambling. Or are you telling us we've gotten out of the frying pan of zombie hordes into the frying pan of ... what?"

"Well, you shall see its sinfulness in time, when you are ready to open your eyes. But I am here to protect those who are without sin and innocent, who need protecting from what is to come." The woman says.
