I'll be back with those things for you." She exited the room through a swinging door. When she returned, she set a cup of water before Sam along with a slab of cheese on a wooden platter with a knife. A full loaf of bread, browned on the outside was next to it. "Hopefully this will suffice, Champion Sarryn."<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"I'm afraid I'm not privy to that information," he chuckled.  "I was heading down the stairs when one of the doors closed behind me, though I didn't get a chance to see which.  It's of no great concern though; being down here suits me fine.  Not to mention, I prefer women a bit more seasoned, so it is of no loss."</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Jocelyn laughed at Sarryn. "You are a gentleman, a flirt, and a bad liar. Likely she is with one of the Champions that has their own room. No need to try and hide the information from me. I am not ignorant."<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"Nevertheless, I'm happy to know that your inn is being compensated for our presence, as I'd hate to think your inn had been unduly commandeered for our use.  That said, whilst I can only speak for myself, I suspect the champions might be more at ease if the place had a bit more communal cheer, even though quiet is always welcome.  I understand there was a group of champions before us; were there others before them?"</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC: Wisdom (Insight)</div><div class="spoiler_body">Roll <span class="bbc_u">result 18 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=99297)</span>Jocelyn seems genuine and helpful.</div></div>"They may not wish for such cheer in the coming days but if you all wish it, I will invite others. Extra coin never hurts. She laughed. And, of course there were Champions before you and before then. There have been Champions nearly since the formation of Newgate. Was that not explained to you at the Feast?"<br/>
