The Crimson Glory Inn stood in the middle of the street. It was slowly becoming well known for its good meals and steady drink, and had become a good resting place for seaman wanting to enjoy themselves for a while. No real trouble was ever caused in there, but we'll come to why later.
The actual Inn itself was two old stone buildings knocked into one, with a single huge door running into it and many port hole type windows. On the roof, taking up some of second floor, and stretching out into the street was the remains of a ship that a few years ago crashed into those very buildings. The Crimson Glory. Now used as part of the Inn.
Lots of rumours have been told of how exactly it all happened but none have been confirmed in any way shape or form. What is known is the lady who runs the Inn was once the cook on the ship.
Right about now, inside the Inn, was the reason why many people consider the Crimson Glory Inn as the safest place in Bude.
A frying pan smashed into the wall with great force as Rand had ducked just in time so his head wasn't taken off. The woman who threw it was being held back by a rather large and curly haired woman who you would think would have no trouble holding her. You think wrong if ya did.
"RandIronflyHowDareYouSetFootIntoMyInnAgainAfter
WhatYouDidLastTime!!
IShouldKickYouOffTheEndOfThisIsland!!"
Rand dove out of the way as a cooking pot was hurled in his direction This one dug itself into the stone wall and didn't seem like it was going to move for some time.
"I's only borrowed a fews coins." Rand said as he made sure all his body parts were there. The last time Rand had been here he had wanted to raise a little money for a voyage, and it seemed he... borrowed... a few coins from the Inn.
Kysta's face showed she didn't really care for how much the slummer had borrowed, the fact she was aiming to kill should really have given Rand the hint.
"IHopeYouDidn'tComeHereLookingForanyFavours
CauseRandIronflyYou'reOutOfThem!!" Now taking a break from the violence and shouting, it is of note that each time Kysta said his name she said it in full. And it was said in a very strange telling off tone.
One might even make note the slummer Rand and the cook Kysta were wearing very similar rings. But then again, maybe you wouldn't.
Evan came to the Inn to find a cutting knife fly past his nose nad nearly take off the tip. Well either some drunk had come to the Inn or he had guessed right, and Rand had come here. He wondered if the guy had even got the chance to mention to her what Rand had decided to do yet.
And where was the crazy loon going to get the ship?
Or the rest of the crew?
Or the money to hire people?
Inside the Rand was dodging and weaving attacks as Kysta seemly threw an infinit supply of kitchen goods at him. He seemed to be going slowly over something.
"Looks, if ya just listen to me." The sentance was stopped repeatidly with him finding hiding spots under chairs or tables. "I gots the money back and more besides! And some guy is coming overs in a few days bringing an extra load of cash. Evan is here with some of the stuff toos! just calm and lets me talk ta ya."
here was a sudden stop in objects being thrown in his direction so the slummer thought he had managed to get through to Kysta. Standing up from under a table with a few knives imbedded into it, he saw he was wrong. Kysta had just taken a little longer to pick up the big bronze cooknig pot.
Too late to do anything the slummer caught the pot smack on the forehead and was sent crashing to the floor knocked out.
Evan stepped in when the action had finally settled down. "Yar, yous got a temper like a hurrican lass" he said to his old crew mate with a smile.
Ksyta didn't seem to find the humour in it as she stormed over to the man and was waving a wooden sppon at him in such a way Evan would had felt more conftable facing ten sailors with loaded pistols. "Don'tYouYarMeEvan!ItsHalfyourFaultthisLugeepsGoingOffOnThisDamnedTripsSoIfYou
'veComeHereForAFreeMealYou'llfindyourselfOnTheDtreet

Evan nodded and gulped. My how little things chang over a few years.
