*As the introductions continue, Callimpsest decides to press on, so he has a little extra time to fetch his net.* I'll meet you just inside. *Callimpsest walks off and has soon entered the inn.* [OOC: Continued in 'Strangers Enter the Wolf's Howl', since it has the location Callimpsest needs.]

*Smiles* Pleased to meet you all. I admire your enthusiasm; though as I said, my room cannot hold all of you, so please do not be offended if you end up waiting in the corridor. At least you'll be somewhere a little warmer.
*To the man with the crossbow* And who are you, Sir?

*Robin gives a little start, clears his throat and puts on his dashing grin.*
Robin of Sher... errrrr.... just Robin, just Robin. I'll start that again.
Robin, travelling hero... although some would call me a costumed vigilante, but I try to move past that, when I can.
*He thinks.*
I'm not even sure why I'm here... a completely random set of circumstances... but it's allowed me to use my fighting skills, and my new toy!
*He brandishes the crossbow, then realises this is a little foolish, so stows it back over his shoulder.*
Luckily, of course, things haven't gotten too bad yet. That's when I'd go for my sword.
*He gives a short, harsh laugh.*
And... your name is...?
[OOC: Robin did hear Dreslin's name, but he wasn't properly listening.]

Good to meet you, Robin. My name is Dreslin - *smiles* much the same as it was earlier. That is quite a toy, but let's hope you don't meet too many aggressive playmates. Such as that pair of lizard men I was just with...

*Phoenixflame and Morwena looked sharply at Dreslin*
"Did you say lizardmen?!" Phoenixflame said "Can you describe them?" Morwena added softly

*Smiles* Let us not get sidetracked: your Mr. Callimpsest seems an impatient man! Maybe there will be a chance for us to discuss the lizardmen after you have solved the mystery of the brick. Speaking of which... *Dreslin walks off towards the inn entrance.* [OOC: Continued in Strangers Enter the Wolf's Howl.]

*Meliss looks down at the sleeping dragon in her arms and smiles at him* "Well, one thinks its about time I went and booked a room for myself and this sleepyhead here" *She heads after the others* [OOC: Continues in "Strangers Enter The Wolf's Howl"]

[OOC: Crossing over from 'From Barom to Bedroom'.] *Through the array of noises made outside his window, Young Grimwold's sleep has become shallower and shallower, until finally he is awake, without knowing quite what woke him. He looks around the room: his roommate has gone. He probably couldn't bear to share with an ogre, and who could blame him? YG turns his gaze to the window. It's still light, just about. However much sleep YG has had, it doesn't feel like enough, and this irritates him. Still, if Owen Vartern wants to employ a sleep-deprived ogre in his tavern, on his head be it. With the mood that YG's in, Owen had better hope that the piper knows how to blow out a tune with the accompaniment of breaking bones. Getting up, YG swigs some water from his flask and calms down slightly. Across the room, he sees a bowl with traces of vegetable stew. He considers licking round it, but knows he'd feel ashamed afterwards. Instead, he moves over to the window, looking for any sources of disturbance. The floating brick is still there, but now has a pair of moons. One is a small stone, the other looks to YG like a once-straight arrow. For pity's sake. I was in a riot this morning. I got tomato on me. Then a convicted murderer was polite to me. And on the way home, my mother introduced herself to my boss. Now I'm watching a stone, a contorted arrow and a brick doing a dance in mid-air. How much raging farce is Fate trying to stuff into my day? After a few moments, YG looks away from the brick, annoyed at how its satellites mesmerised him. What in the Underworld has been happening, and who's been making it happen? YG casts his eyes down to the ground, and to his surprise... Robin. Robin? Robin!*

*Robin feels like a bit of a failure. For all his heroics, all his muscle, and all the inventiveness he's credited himself with, he can't think of a way to handle this... this whatever-it-is.*
They'd better hurry up. I'm intrigued... and a little bored.
*Robin doesn't like standing still. Heroes, after all, crave action.*
Let's think... the bedroom next to the... floating... brick...
*He has looked up at said brick, and there's something - or someone - very familiar staring back at him from the nearest window. Someone he's mentioned very recently...
Young Grimwold.*
Grim?...
*Robin yells.*
GRIMWOLD!

*YG stares, waves (more vigorously than he usually does), points toward the brick, draws a circle with his finger, then looks questioningly at Robin.*

*YG decides to open the window, so he and Robin can speak to each other. But the handle is stuck. He tries again, but it does not move. YG begins to get vexed. He tries several more times, hoping to loosen the handle without applying excessive force. The handle won't budge. YG is feeling increasingly desperate, and annoyed at this stubborn barrier between him and his friend. He promises to give the handle money if it will please just do what it exists to do. Please. Rasping, YG gives the handle another careful try.
The handle squeaks, but stays stuck.
And that is it.*
FOR SCUMBORE'S SAKE!!
*YG yanks the handle, it comes off, and his fist flies back against the window. A cascade of glass makes its way toward the ground.
The window swings open.*

*Robin steps back, instinctively, to avoid the glass which sprinkles itself onto the floor in front of him.*
Where'd that come from... unbalanced glass?...
*He looks up at YG.*
Hey, Grimwold! Why don't I just get up there, rather than you taking out your frustration on the window!
*He pauses.*
Oh, nice to see you again, by the way.
