Tina followed along, thankful for the assistance. As soon as they entered the inn she made a beeline for the nearest seat.<br/><br/>Buddy entered the inn after everyone else. His eyes quickly searched the room. Then he shouted out abruptly, and was quite loud which seemed almost uncharacteristic of the short fat man. “Mary, we got guests.”  He glanced at the girls. “And bring some towels.”<br/><br/>“Okay,” a harsh voice shouted back. It was deeper and more gruff than one might expect from someone named Mary.<br/><br/>Buddy’s smile returned. “You would have to ask my sister about the ginger or mint, but I should have some toffee at the store, dear.” He said addressing Lucienne before turning back to address the whole group. “I didn’t get to introduce myself. Ma name’s Buddy Walsh. I’m the mayor, constable, judge, mailman, harbormaster, and owner of the general store. Anything you need just ask. My sister Mary runs the inn here. She’ll be happy to make you girls supper. With all the boys out on the boats, she ain’t got much to do.” He paused and leaned in conspiratorially. “If you’re lookin’ to get a drink or do some gamblin’, Tiny’s is down the way.” He motioned over his shoulder as if you knew where he was talking about. “I can show you all after supper if you want.” He whispered. He returned to his normal posture before speaking again. “Of course, fer legal reasons I must inform you that prohibition is in full effect on this island.” He winked.<br/><br/>“Now don’t go spountin’ no horse pucky round here Buddy.” A tall fat woman carrying some towels walked out of the kitchen. She was wearing a floral moomoo that had a patch or two on it. There was a white stained apron around her waist. She walked over and handed each one of you a towel or two.<br/><br/>“Now I’m just doing my job.” He responded to the large woman. “This is my much older sister Mary.” He emphasized the word older just to annoy her.<br/><br/>“Shut it you fat fool and get outta ma inn.” She motioned to shoo Buddy out the door. “You better no have my boy runnin’ round this weather.” She yelled at Buddy as he left the inn. “Oh look at you poor dears.” Mary’s whole demeanor changed. She took on a very motherly tone. “You poor things are lucky ta have gotten outta that rain.” She walked over to where Lucienne, Mattie, and Tina were. “Someone asked for some mint?” She pulled a sprig from her apron and handed it to anyone that would take it.<br/><br/>There was a deer and moose head on the wall. It was also home to a beaver, a duck, a couple of rabbits, and four squirrels playing cards. All the animals were local to the northeast United States.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Skill Checks</div><div class="spoiler_body">Lucienne and Mattie:  Make a regular dodge check. 42 or under for Lucienne and 60 or under for Mattie.<br/>Celeste:  Make a regular spot hidden check. 30 or under.</div></div>
