My friends, let us proceed

("My friends, let us proceed with the matter that brought us together this night." Said Beathan. This brought Bronwyn back to the matters at hand.

She turned and looked at the younger dragon for a moment, a bit irked at his abrupt change of subject. For a moment a rebuke began to form in her mind but Beathan was correct. There was no need to dwell on the problem of the "Life Vow." What was done, was done. Essa would either succeed or fail that was all there was to it. Besides, somewhere deep in Bronwyns subconscious there was a niggling feeling that the lass just might succeed.

She turned her thoughts to Beathan. (" I would assume that the main reason that we have gathered here is that fact that the deed for the inn has indeed been found. My senses tell me that it has.

There is something else that needs to be done my friends. It has been nearly one thousand years since the first stones for this inn were laid. By the current calendar, it would have been on May, 23rd, 1110. It started as a simple way station between Selkirk and Edinburg and by 1300 it had become pretty much the building it is today.

At that time I placed enchantments on the building that would stop anyone from harming another while on the premises. Also, there is one that maintains the building itself. Over the years these enchantments have weakened. As the threads of fabric will deteriorate over time, the threads of the weave can also come unraveled. Strain and time have taken their toll. When you add in the effects of pollution to the equation it is amazing that the spells have not failed before this.

Tonight, my friends, we need to restore these spells. I could do it myself and they would last for another thousand years, but with the combined powers of the three no, make that the four of us, they can last much, much longer.

I would like to add another protection spell as well; one that will prevent the destruction of the inn for as long as the Elliots' hold claim to the property.

Do any of you have any other suggestions? If so, please feel free to speak. ")
