Inside, Zelsh chuckled and waved at the innkeeper, "You've already got our reservation, right?"
"Of course! King Zelsh, everything's been prepared and the inn has been cleared. Consider your silent stay here completely ready," the man bowed.
"Great! Then have lunch set out as soon as possible!"
While Zelsh was acting like he ran into an old friend, the candidates were all startled to realize something. The cold hadn't lessened at all since they walked in!
"I'll show them to the rooms," Zelsh remarked, moving on with a wave.
"Of course! We appreciate your patronage," the innkeeper replied with a bow.
As they walked deeper into the inn, everyone continued to shiver. When they reached the great room past the reception area, Zelsh threw up his hands with pride, "Here we are! We've rented the whole place, so make sure to use every amenity to the fullest!"
"Every amenity? What amenities?" Oli laughed.
