As Ada attempted to free the front door of it's barring wooden plank, Nalin would proceed to march around the perimeter of the tavern in order to see if everything was secure. Upon finding the backdoor, he would reach up with a gauntleted fist to grab the handle and proceed to give it a few sturdy tugs before attempting a few good pushes. The backdoor seemed to refuse to budge, he would not force it as it was a good idea to keep it secure.<br/><br/>He continued his round-about sweep of the tavern, heading around the stables to poke his helmed head in briefly<strong>"Everything seems secure 'round the taven's backside"</strong>With that he would return to the tavern's front door. Heavy armored footsteps carrying him inside as once again he'd display a certain grace with his warhammer when maneuvering it through the door with a simply flowing motion.<strong>"Are we sure this place be truly abandoned?"</strong>He asked as his gaze washed over the rather well-kept tavern's interior.<br/><br/>Nalin would move immediately to the kitchen, navigated it's threshold, he was glad to see the state of the backdoor. He investigated it more closely, noting that the wooden was in fine shape and the nails did not seem to be compromised by rust. He took a few moments to glance about the kitchen, noting the pots and pans as well as the barrels. He considered moving one infront of the door, but though better of it since it did seem this tavern might still be in use. His return to the common room was marked with a<strong>"Tha backdoor be boarded up. It looks secure"</strong>He would approach the bar where Ada was searching, he was just about to ask if those casks contained any ale when his new comrade vaulted over the bar and immediately move ta the window.<br/><br/><strong>"What do yeh see lad?"</strong>Was asked as he moved to the front door, readying himself for a possible confrontation. Dropping into a defensive posture about 10 feet back from the front door. He would hold this position as he awaited further information from Ada and Tavah. He did not move even as Ada set the bow on the side of the front door and stepped outside to greet the approaching riders. Better to hold a defensive position in the bar in-case the new-comers proved hostile. Should diplomacy fail, any threat coming in after Ada would face his hammer, but he was also ready to rush from the tavern to support an ally if needed.
