Subject: Ensnare
Elessar pauses in her calm song long enough to intone the spell Mage Hand and then she uses the Mage Hand to press as many of the tile triggers she can that could effect the Orc. And then she takes the hand and pounds on the door that she had been heading too.

There are two stallions One big silver and one giant black, then a big red mare. The mare and the black both wear saddles, though the black wears a halter like bridle with no bit in his mouth and the mare wears a regular bridle. The silver stallion has nothing on his head, a strap about 1-1.5 inches wide around his neck and a molded riding pad held in place by a breast collar and a cinch.

Subject: Night and Morning
The second round of drinks is finished and since any conversation has stopped long before the last tankard is finished. Brianna finally heads off to bed and the Dwarf is left to make his arragements for the night.
Depending on the waking habits of the various customers and workers about the inn, morning begins very early for the cook who makes the daily bread so it is fresh and hot in the morning. Fried bacon and ham scents the air strongly and the smell of hot yeasty bread. Those that need to be on their way early are up before dawn ready themselves eat and get on their way. Those with a more leisurly schedule or riding wake up when they will. Our adventures wake up according to their habit or the amount of drink they consumed the night before.

THE INN
The serving wench brings up two big tankards and a full pitcher. The Inn begins to empty, locals heading home and travelers needing to get their rest before the next days travel.
THE STABLE
The stable is well kept and though it smells of horses it is not obnoxiously so. Horses are bedded in staw and have buckles full of water and mangers full of hay. From one of the box stalls a large black horse's head appears to watch as Logan enters the barn. Only because of the moonlight is Logan barely able to percieve the animal, being black and in darkess. The horse seems to have no trouble seeing Logan, though.

Subject: Entangled Again
There were no curses, she did not have the time to waste railing her bad luck. Elessar focus all on what she was dealing with, the ropes, the Orc, and the possibilities of other things happening.
Going back to being very still, Elessar concentrates on disbelieving the Orc is real, for she could not conceive that the Elves would allow an Orc anywhere in their lands, let alone in the sarcred evirons of the Bladesinger's Keep.
If the creature does not disappear, she prepares a Flare spell and then throws it in the face of the oncoming Orc. She also watches to see if the Orc trips any of the traps she had encountered, there seemed to be a number of trigger tiles.
When she can she will go back to singing a calming song.

Subject: Tried of Being Trussed Up
Elessar blesses the Gods and Goddesses she followed that she was a trained Bard as she creates a song to turn the ropes.
Away, Away, go back to your place,
Rest then for another to disgrace.
Untwist and uncoil, no more shall you toil.
Curl up and go home, no more to shall you roam, over this body that I call my own.
Retreat to your den with this song that I send, that your enchantment makes an end.
That your toils shall be ceased and I be released.
Away, Away, go back to your place,
Rest then for another to disgrace.
If the song affects the ropes she will keep singing if not, she will sing a calming song to the ropes and then she will tenses her muscle without moving her body until she suddenly bends her body up and away from the rope that wanted to wrap around her chest and makes a cut at the rope holding her feet. If she drops to the ground she will roll away from the ropes.
If she does not drop she will cut the rope trying to insnare her arms and chest, and then go back to cutting the rope around her legs.

Topic: Peradyse Lost
Subject: Runes
Just as Logan turns his over, Flame darts out and grabs one,
"This one is mine!"
Lorae looks at him apologetically, "Sorry, Flame I forgot to tell you to take one."
"Logan that is Tiwaz it stands for Warrior. Who draws this ia a warrior and a defender of justice."
Lorae looks to each of the othere and as they turn over their stones she tells them what they mean.
"Highnar yours is Eihwaz and stands for the Yew Tree. Who draws this inspires trust, is honest and can be relied upon."
"Xuor yours is Hagalaz and it stands for Hail. Who draws this rails at fate, the universe, and deities one is destined for a hard life unless one learns to accept those things beyond one’s control."
"Brianna yours is Raidho it stands for Journeys. Who draws this has a sense of dislocation being out of time, place, and space."
"And Flame, yours is Kenaz iit stands for Torch. It means you carry the power of Light and transformation, changing those you come in contact with for the better."
(Now for the strangest part of this. I used a special program where I would type in a name and the tell the program to draw a rune. Except for Highnar's first rune, which will go to the thief, all the runes were drawn exactly as I gave them to you.)

Subject: In a Flash
Elessarae mind and body working in precision, snatches out her sword before she gets any more entangled, it is the only thing that would reach the rope strangling her. She swings it over her head in an effort to cut the rope that is choking her. At the same time she stills the rest of her body. It could be that the ropes tighten if the victim struggles, and at the same time she begins to sing a calming lullaby.

Soon the table is groaning with platters of bread, butter cheeses, a pot of honey. The bread is warm, just out of the oven and the cheese is ripe. Another tray has 6 large bowls of steaming stew. A pitcher of beer and one of ale is set on the table and 2 more flagons if needed.

Subject: FOOD!
Flame sort of slides down Brianna's long arm by coiling down and round it until he is on the table itself. His head was elongated compared to a true red dragon and his tiny horns were fluted and coiled in a slight S shape. He wiggled his ear fans in interest at the mention of food. His neck was long and his body was slender. His scales were ruby red, and almost like rubies as it seemed you could see through them. Underlying the clear red was the glitter of gold. (Think of the 50 and a hot rod done in Candy Apple Red over gold metalflake.) His tail was also long and slender.
"See, Bri," Flame turns his head and looks up at her, "he feeds me."

The bar is busy as locals come in for a nightly tankard after a long days work. Tales are told by retired adventurers and active adventures. The serving girls and lads are keep busy and about dinner time a girl comes to the table to announce the bill of fare for the day.
"There be lamb stew with vegetables, potatoes, and onions; roasted cadpon with cornbread stuffing; fresh trout, pan fried in butter with pan fires potatoes and onions. With dinner come a 1/4 loaf of bread, a hand of cheese and a pint of whatever you are drinking."
She looks about the table, "what is your pleasure?"

Topic: The Chakran Portal - an Adventure in Audalis
Subject: the corridor
Elessarae noted it was not the mimicking but the creation of a unique counterpoint to the melody that opened the magical doorway. That in itself was a noted lesson. She slipped her pipes away and readied her sword. The elegant leaf-bladed long sword was the best weapon she could buy, having saved every coin she ever recieved or earned, after deciding that she would become a Bladesinger. She had even gone out into the forest to gather herbs and mushrooms to sell, as well as play music for money.
Ignoring the doors, except that they might present a danger if someone were trying to test her, Elessarae moved to where she heard the music originate. As she neared the first set of doors she move closer one wall, so that if two attackers sprang out at the same time, one could not get in behind her. She noted the direction the doors would open and placed herself accordingly, so that she was not at a disadvantage if they did open.
She continued on down the hall in the same cautious way, to the end where the music originated.

Subject: Another Locked Door
Elessarae had taken the bit in her teeth, so to speak, though no Elf would ride a horse with a bit, preferring bitess bridles or in some cases no bridle at all. Moonsteeds rarely allowed a rider to use a bridle, though saddles, if comfortable, were allowed.
She moved to the door and half knelt before it. Even as she examined the lock she remained alert, pausing from her examination to check out the area. Having some knowledge of locks, because of her insatable curiosity, she quickly checked her own belt pouches for something to help her open the lock, knowing she did not have the ability to open it magically.(18:05, Today: Elessarae rolled 14 using 1d20+5. Lock Lore.)
When the search turned up nothing to use she stood and began to search the room for the key or something small enough to use to try and pick the lock, not that she had any training in that area, but locks did hide secrets and she always wanted to find new things or even old things that had been forgotten. She searches carefully throughout the room, yet remained alert and wary. (18:05, Today: Elessarae rolled 25 using 1d20+5. Search.)
If all else fails, she will get out her own pan pipes and being to play a counterpoint to the music being played in the other room. If she could not get to the mountain, perhaps she could draw the mountain to her. (18:06, Today: Elessarae rolled 22 using 1d20+4. Perform (Wind).)

Subject: Beer
Newcomers to the inn also stare at the young woman who announced herself as "bold and brass". Eyes follow Brianna as she strides over toward the shadowed corner, as others had avoided it she approached with no qualms. Here was a warrioress entirely sure of herself.
A serving girl hurries over with a pitcher of beer and 3 full tankards. "Your friend has already gone up to the room and has ordered a bath."
She hefts the tankards onto the table and then sets the pitcher down, "you want a bowl for him," she points to the dragonette, "like last night?"

Subject: A Leap of _____
The sound of the music drew her to the window and gone was her decision to wait patiently. An open window was a open portal of another sort and she had the invitation,
Elessarae moved back from the window gauging its height and the length of run she would need to attain the window sill with a running jump. She put the scroll in her left hand as her keen eyes swept the ground looking for the best footing and angle.
Like a deer suddenly startled, she took off, coming at the keep from an angle, reaching the correct speed and distance she leaped right arm, hand, and fingers upstretched. (Jump: 16+8 )
Getting a grip on the sill she let the momentum of her run carry her body up and thru the window to land lightly on her feet(Tumble: 17+10) poised and at ready with her left hand in front of her, the scroll stretched out, and seal showing.

Like a hudred other inns it nestled on a main road of the small town of Shadowdale, just north of the great Elven forest of Cormanthor. The afternoon sun was lowering and the inn was filling up, locals and travels alike. Retired adventures who lived in the town and adventures, merchants and others who traveled the roads stood at the bar or sat at the tables. Few stayed in camps this close the the forest, where Drow activity was becoming a problem.
Servers, male and female hurried to take and bring the orders of the patrons. Humans, made the majority of patrans and a couple of Dwarves, Half Elves, and some Halflings.

Subject: Still Waiting
Elessarae looks up at the sun and measures the time. She wonders why she still waits. Until the guards open the doors she can not go in.
Maybe she got here quicker than they expected, or that other business was taking longer than expected. Other that her brows lifting and her eyes moving, there was nothing in Elessarae's bearing or demeanor to show nervousness or impatience. Her body remained relaxed, to an observer she was just standing there unaware and yet, she was ready for action. Such was the training of a Bladesinger

Still holding the scroll with reverence, still waiting outside the great doors of the keep, Elessarae took the time to pick off bits of leaves and twigs the had caught in her cloak during her run in. She straightened her tunic and felt that her boots were still snug and in the correct position. She remembered back when part of her initial training to properly tie on her boots, with the warning that ill fitted and unsecure footware could be dangerous. She remembers the day when she had been in the training barracks and as she was putting on her boots she was attacked by one of the instructors. She had been forced to fight with her boots untied, which was a lesson, put on one boot and secure it beforer pulling on the other. Of course she lost, much to her embarrassment and it spurred her create a faster way to don her boots and tie them. On top of the she had soft topped boots made with some alterations.
Even though her boots felt right she did look down to check them. That brought on a smile. After the boot incident Elessarae had not just learned the proper way of booting up, but she had used her considerable mind and imagination to create an alteration to her boots. Like the overlaping leaves that went down the back of her boot, which hid a stiffening that keep her boots standing upright like hard legged riding boots when off her legs. Also the hard leather leaves that adorned the front flaps of the boots where they were tied, were sculpted and well waxed to allow the laces the slide through faster. This allow her to step into her prelaced boots, with the first part of the tie knot completed, tighten the laces with one pull, and finish the knot.
Elessarrae straighten and waited.
