Music playing in the background, a hopeful, lighthearted theme song.
TESSA THE INNKEEPER
You get all sorts of folks at the Goblin’s Head. It’s adventurers, usually, off seeking fame or money or honor, what have you; finding a party, joining a quest—you know the story, I’m sure.
VELUNE
(soothing)
Miss, please, put away your axe, and sir, your sword. There’s no reason to fight.
STERLING
Sir—or madame—
VELUNE
Oh, neither. Call me Friar, my son. What’s your name, young mage?
MELTYRE
Meltyre, member of the Circle of the Greenish Fire.
STERLING
Greenish?
MELTYRE
More sort of aquamarine?
FINA
Well I am Fina Butterbuns of the Hiltshire Butterbuns, halfling bard extraordinaire. (plays a few cheerful notes on a guitar) And this is my friend and associate, Betty.
BETTY
‘Sup.
FINA
And you, Paladon’t? What’s your moniker?
STERLING
(grudgingly)
Sterling. Whitetower.
MELTYRE
Not Lord Sterling Whitetower?
FINA
Oh, this is delicious.
TESSA
Thrown together by circumstance, united by friendship, they’re off on their quest… And yet they keep coming back to my inn. For some reason.
FINA
Hey, Top Gun, you don’t want to push your luck with Betty. She’ll kill you.
Music cuts out abruptly.
MELTYRE
(muttering)
What’s a gun?
Music resumes.
STERLING
(panicked)
Gods–gods, do something, someone!
MELTYRE
Stake him! Stake him!
FINA
(voice trembling)
This is why we don’t split the party and leave the bard to protect the old person!
VELUNE
Sweet Pelor, have you been lying about who you are your entire life?
MELTYRE
We’re all going to die, Sterling, don’t you see that?
FINA
I don’t know how you roll so high.
VELUNE
Roll?
TESSA
Inn Between: a fantasy-adventure audio drama, coming June 6th to a podcatcher near you. (beat) Now is a podcatcher some sort of venomous plant?
DIRECTOR
Um…yes.
TESSA
Oh, how lovely. We’ll see you there!
