Dungeon Master:
The rest of the evening was spent enjoying good food and company. Angel's feats of sleight of hand entertained the children while the heroes ate and drank to their hearts content... the rest of the heroes (and the new guests Angel and Morren) were given rooms at the Mayor's inn. "Free of charge, in honor of the festivities" he said while heavily intoxicated, much to the chagrin of his much more sober wife.
When Angel was done entertaining -- making coins disappear and reappear out of ears and noses to the delight of children; causing the older folks to cringe and gasp by seeming to drive sticks through her arm, and even a couple of real-magic illusions once she borrowed a piece of wool yarn she had one of the little ones tie around her finger -- she graciously accepted the offer of a free room for the night. After all it was the least the villagers could do after not even tipping a single coin after her impromptu show. After a bit of angst and emotional soul-searching when she was by herself, Angel slept soundly through the night...
Dungeon Master:
The next morning the whole town seemed to emit a groan from their collective hangover... the heroes (and guests) were flush with gold but there was very little to spend it on in Ashford... everyone just shrugged and suggested going to Spire Keep which had become the central hub of trade in the region. It was only about two days ride there were plenty of rest stops on the way.
Due to her suspicions that the whole set up was an elaborate trap, Angel was one of the very few that woke without a hangover, having not over-indulged in the free-flowing drink to avoid having her wits compromised if she needed them. Plus it was really hard to do magic tricks while inebriated and she'd been kinda enjoying being the center of the attention, especially for the young ones. She felt she liked children in general, though she couldn't remember anything specific that lead her to believe that about herself. She did feel a several pounds heavier from stuffing herself with all the great food though and when she woke in the room the mayor lent her she groaned that her belly still felt full and not even a good night's sleep had been enough to relieve the pressure of her gluttony.
After dressing she made her way downstairs to look for some tea, or some other notably strong
'wake-me-up' drink that the villagers had. After finding what she looking for and mixing it with a generous supply of cream and honey -- which was all she could stand for breakfast on this grand morning-after -- she spotting Talia coming into Inn and looking like she assumed most of the folk in the little hamlet would. Talia had already made her desires about avoiding Angel's company quite clear and so the elf probably should've just held her tongue... but that was about as likely as the sun rising in the west.
"Morning Sunshine!" She greeted the human woman brightly.
"Tea?" She offered, gesturing with her own cup...
