Terrific story, doncair99! :clap:

Very realistic with the Innkeeper counting the minutes going by on the clock at work. Been there, done that, myself a few times. :yes:

Looking forward to reading more writings from you in the future. :)

Excellent story, quite funny actually. I could only imagine how frustrating it must be to struggle through a boring day of work only to get landed with several crazy troublemakers before the shift is over. I look forward to reading more of your work.

Nice story, very interesting. I like this style of mixing characters thoughts with narration.

The group seems to be an interesting bunch. I expect to read more about them in the future. Keep on writing!

This is an excellent narrative! I can really relate to the poor innkeeper constantly checking the clock. I kind of wish she had a name for ease of reference here, but I can see the poetry in calling her only "innkeeper." I've never considered how difficult a time some RPG innkeepers must have. Dealing with a rowdy bunch of adventurers like this must be really trying to some of them. :lol:

On the technical side of your writing, there's a couple of things that stood out to me while reading. These aren't big deals - I've seen stories with far more technical problems than this. I was slightly distracted from the story by these issues though, so I wanted to mention them to help you improve in future writings. Just consider it a little proof reading. ;) First is inconsistent spacing following your punctuation. Sometimes use you a space after a comma and sometimes you omit that space. Second is one typo in your description of the Motabian: "...fluffy blue fur(of feathers;..." That would work better as "or feathers."

Thanks, Thoul!
Constructive criticism is definitely what I need! :)
And thanks for pointing out my inconsistencies-- I didn't notice them.
