Published: May 26, 2018, 9:10 p.m.

It\u2019s been a long day\u2019s travel, and the sun is just beginning to go down as you see an inn in the distance. As you draw closer, you see the sign of three feathers hanging outside, and notice that the place is unusually busy.\n\nInside, the inn is bustling. servants are hurrying to and fro, and the innkeeper is engrossed in conversation with a scribe who carries a visibly bulging purse. \u201cWelcome,\u201d he says at last, \u201cI\u2019m sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, but as you can see, we have a distinguished guest tonight\u2014the Gravin Maria-Ulrike von Liebewitz of Ambosstein, no less...I hardly know whether I\u2019m coming or going with it all. Now, then\u2014you want a room? What am I saying, of course you do. Ah, excuse me again, I\u2019ll only be a moment.\u201d You wait for another few minutes as he directs a train of servants to the Gravin\u2019s rooms. \u201cSo sorry,\u201d he says as he returns to you, \u201cIt really is mad this evening.\u201d\n\nThis scenario was run by Noah of the Maple Syrup, Blood Money podcast.
