Ehrick is told by the constable that the overdue travelers are Eslel Shives, the librarian; Morokim Leter, the miller's second son who is an apprentice ranger in the Grand Duchess' service; and a farmer named Joop Wortman, who takes a wagon load of barley to Ravenwood regularly for the brewery there.
Kaspar can visit the library; it is small by his standards as he has seen the Grand Duchess' library at Pachten. In a building the size of a large home what would be the main floor room (living/dining) has all four walls covered in book shelves with three study tables in the center. The Librarian's older of two daughters, Lorlye, greets him and let's him look around and read, keeping a careful eye on him. (She is about 20 years old).
In the afternoon the party travels onward to Ravenwood town, arriving long after nightfall as the autumn days are getting shorter. The watchman at the gate is at first surprised by the arrival of such a group, but lets them in and directs them to the Inn, the Raven's Roost. The Inn is a large complex of buildings with ample stables, a yard between them and the buildings proper, both of which front on the market square. The two buildings are connected in the center where an arched corridor runs through the rear yard. On one side is the common room on the ground floor and the less expensive shared rooms above; on the other side are several private rooms on both floor that are set up as sitting rooms with nice fire places and turned into bedrooms in the evening. The innkeeper, Mr. Arlo Avery, greets the party himself and offers a private dining room on the ground floor for Lightbringer and his guests, inviting them to join the commons after a meal.
OOC: The town is modeled somewhat after Bree and the Roost after the Prancing Pony. Description of the towns is now in the Grand Duchy of Sauscony thread, though Ravenwood is in fact surrounded by the Barony of Essermark.
