The Bathhouse and the Inn

Today we went to most amazing place! It smelled lovely. We went to Mother Tathlorn's House of Pleasure. I want to live there! It was so free and liberating. I got to be naked the whole time. I don't understand the folks that hate being naked. I guess they just see sex in nakedness. I'm glad our party isn't like that. We can just hang out and be buddies.
.... Wait.... Raener and Flune are getting awfully cozy. I need to find out more. Aw... They'll be a cute couple soon enough, if they aren't already. What else is going on. Marlaia is sinking in a pool while looking at Scorch. That's interesting. She has been acting strange towards him. I mean he is giant fireman, and she is some kind of tiefling. I guess that makes sense that a tiefling would be intrigued by an otherworld being. ...What else..... Oh no Igris is going to try to steal that towel. I need to talk to the owner of the establishment to buy that towel or get something else for him to carry food. I want to come back here. ... Okay I thought I failed that persuasion but maybe I'm getting better at this whole talking to people thing. It must be my bug balm. This stuff has magical powers I swear. ..... Erik looks uncomfortable. I need to help him feel better so that he will not retreat and return to perseived safety and comfort of crime. ... Good that worked to get him out of his shell. Oh Scorch is apologizing for trying to kill me. I don't know how to speak his language and I want to convey it personally. I grab his shoulder and touch his forehead. That should work. It's okay.
Marlaia pulls me aside. She is shaken up. Strange. She starts talking about the inn. I thought it was great. Maybe tieflings are strange with nudity. Oh it's not that. Oh it's her knocking that guy in the head. No need in being shaken up over it now. He is dead after all and she obviously had a good reason. What's that reason? A bit fuzzy on the reason. He might do something? That's not that great of a reason. Oh she's protecting this guy's family from the flying snake people. I get that. She was taking care of their kids. That's fine. Let me calm her. I will calm her how I calm the sheep. Touch forehead. There there. Yeah that will do it. *Runs off* Awesome I am a great counselor. Maybe I can do that later.
Volo isn't paying us with the money he promised us, but he gave us an Inn? I'm excited. I don't want to run a brothel, but I do like the general feel of it. I would assume though that erroring on the side of clothing required would get us more business. I am so excited. I never had a place of my own before that I didn't have to share with sheep. So let's get to mending! ... Wait it is haunted? Well That's interesting
