Tuesday, 27th. March.

Ahh the joy! The last few days at the Swaggers have been great - Apart from late yesterday evening...
But the business is going well and I have hired a few more hands - Two Barmaids and a Bus boy.

The two new Barmaids are Cala and Tix.
Cala had no experience. But as she said, she is a fast learner and she is right. She's doing great!
Tix approched me the day after Cala and then asked, if we needed another Barmaid. I know, she have experience with the job and instead of 'wasteing' time on haveing two Barmaids without any experience, I decided to hire her.

The Bus boy is named Darien.
He claimed to be 18, but I doubt he is a day over 14.
And I found out, what he is.. Oooh yes, the eyes on my necklace..
The way he picked up the mug infront of him. I know his type so well.
He asked for a job and I explained him the rules for beeing part of the Veeties. He will get such a wack with the broom, if he steals from me or any of the others.

I told him, that Kiran wouldn't be fond of him - He just can't stand Elfs, Drows.. Hmm actually every creature, that ain't human.
But Darien didn't seem to be bothered. So, lets see how it works out.

Rumours about a new tavern, located in Yew reached me some nights ago and I decided to check it out.
That evening, had been a bit slow - So Cala and I closed the doors early and I asked her, if she wanted to come with me to Yew.

To be honest, I preferred to have someone with me, and I am happy that she came along.
I don't like going to Yew. The experince with the lashes are still very fresh in my mind - Even though, it happend so long ago.

We got changed and went through the moongate in Minoc. When we stepped through to Yew, I explained to her - That we would just ask the Guardsmen for directions to the Tavern, pay the tax and get out of Stonekeep.
That place - Just gives me the creeps!

When we arrived Stonekeep there was just one single Guard there. I asked for directions and she gave them to us.
Haha! She apparently forgot to ask about the tax! Take that Mr. Lord Protector!!

The Tavern is located between Stonekeep and the eastern guardpost.
It lays in the meadow in the forrest - No wonder, why theire village are named "Deepwood".
The Ranger is cosy - Not so large, but a cosy little place.

A older man came, while we was sitting there and I asked him for the Taverns speciality.
It turned out, that one of the girls there, brew some wine, named "Mandrake Wine".
The Man offered us a bottle and I must say, I am impressed.
The wine were grand.

I asked, if it were possible to get a word with this girl, as I would be interrested in buying a few bottles of it and then try sell them at the Swaggers.
Who knows - Mebbe they could be interrested in selling some good from Vesper?
Afterall, it is worth a try.

Oh my Gawd for an dissaster yesterday!
Gia, Kalam and me were alone at the Swaggers and ofcause I were in the mood for... Trouble.
Ack! Can't believe, I'm not over that stage yet! - Surely it must be some sort of fase.

I talked them both into go muggling a few. For some odd reason, we went to Stonekeep. Yaaar! Steal from the Annoying and Gia would be happy for the coins - Thats for sure.
To our large dissapointment, there were no-one around and then we headed to Trinsie.

The Plan were quiet simple.
Gia should ask for directions to the Trinsie Rose and lure the Victim with her.
Kalam and I would be standing in the shadows and wait for them to arrive.

We waited and Gia managed to find a red-kilt.
We jumped out.. and well, then it just went wrong!
I shouted "Pass the coins, or we will take yer loife!". The Elf just looked as us, as if we had fallen from the sky and said "No".
This is were it goes really bad! - We hesitated and as if she casted a spell, a friend of hers arrived! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
Have I mentioned, how much I -hate- Mages?!

I managed to make her bleed once, but the Cow managed to hit the warfork out of my hands. So annoying!
I got away with a few wounds and bruises and Gia got out of the City unharmed.
Unfortunally, they arrested Kalam!

I found Kiran at his usual place, by the shelfs and asked him for a favor.
I wanted him to go to Trinsie, claim that he had heard some some woman, that his son had been arrested in Trinsie - Before Kiran could reply, the door to the Swaggers went open - and voila! Kalam was back!

That were such a relief.
I hate, when the Veeties are beeing held in the jails and since, it was my idea to begin with...
Thank Gawd, that they didn't decide to keep him there overnight and then he were to face some flogging or whatever they can come up with.



Mmm, I need a snack..
