After a heartfelt farewell with his teammates, Caleb made his way back to the inn where he had been staying. The adventure had been taxing but rewarding, and he was looking forward to a good night's rest in his familiar room. However, as he stepped through the door of the inn, he was met with unexpected news.
The innkeeper, a man with a knack for business rather than hospitality, approached Caleb with a tight smile. "Ah, Mr. George, I was hoping to catch you. There's been a bit of a situation with your room," he started, his tone overly casual.
Caleb raised an eyebrow, sensing where this might be going. "Oh? What sort of situation?"
"Well, you see, someone has offered to pay quite a bit more for the room you're currently in. It's just business, you understand," the innkeeper explained, his smile fixed.
