The Inn

Every small town, village and fort has some kind of place for travelers to stay the night. In some places that we have been through the inns haven't been much more than a barn where we slept in the straw along side our horses. Really it was just as well because such accommodations are cheap and not having much in the way of monies we have been forced to supplement our fare with work. This has been hard on Sir Frederikson. He is not selfish or arrogant but he has always had all the gold to buy anything he has needed or wanted. He is starting to adjust. Last night for the first time he bartered for our lodgings and did a good job. For a two night stay we will muck out the barn and re-straw the stalls. In addition to the two nights we will receive 10 pounds of dried venison and 50 pounds of oats. The oats are a little old but the horses will eat them well and I think if I soak and rinse them before boiling they will be edible for us as well.
