Show Notes
We join our party just as they sit down to dinner at The Overlook Inn. Most of the individuals Arthas saw earlier in the day are still there, but the individual he had questioned is gone. There is now a chipper young woman, named Noura, acting as the server. The “menu” is as questionable as the establishment and consists of a single option. The group is hesitant until smiling Noura shares that all the food is freshly made by her, including a dessert she calls “creme brully”.
Inspector Francis orders the oldest bottle of wine and Noura returns with a pleasant surprise - a nicely aged Baukoran wine. He is quick to share with Rou, who gets a little lesson in wine tasting as well. The surprises continue as the group enjoys a delicious vegetable stew, fresh-baked bread, and that homemade dessert.
During dinner, a finely dressed individual, with a small tattoo behind his right ear, comes into the inn. Rou overhears him tell Noura that he plans to leave town tomorrow, which piques the group’s interest. When Rou approaches he learns, through an uncomfortable conversation, that his name is Aerin Vess. Upon hearing this, Francis shares some startling details about Vess that suggest he could be the murderer.
