Clearly Quan Yin directed me to protect Tay and stay with her here to see the Purple Pony.

I send a correspondence directly to Yoshi which is basically the Psionic Sending.  " Purple Horse at Halfling Inn.  See Magic Inns are never the right place to go"

Yoshi is inside, having just paid the coin chest when he gets this message.

Can I respond back to Taye? “What a surprise! I wasn’t expecting an actual purple horse. Don’t engage yet as I’m not sure if the prophecy represented a blessing or warning.”

Yes you can and I get the message just like a sending

I take a look at the closest halfling which appears to be dressed like they might work there " Excuse me but is that a purple horse? "

There is one you see milling about the stable, looks like he is tending to the animals.  Once he realizes you are talking to him, he responds, "Yeah."

Taye sends a mental link to Akra and tells her that Yoshi asked us not to engage about the horse yet because he is not sure if he is being warned of a curse or if it is a blessing.

Shakes her large head.. " weird.. " she looks around for Taye, not seeing him, wondering where the words came from, but she comments " Yoshi is Cautious, and His deity doesn't get involved. Clearly something dangerous wouldn't be in a stall in a Inn around all these normal beings"

She asks the halfling. " Could you please tell me who the owner is, I would love to compliment them, or it is its own owner, a talking horse?" but she does sense if the horse is evil, just in case.  And then waves hi to the horse.

Taye send another correspondence to Yoshi.  "Better come over quick Akrah is deciding to initiate communication with the owner of the purple horse and is not interested in waiting."  Also, the correspond is better then the sending.  We can communicate back and forth for 5 rounds exchanging 25 word messages.

There is plenty of noise coming from inside the Great Forest Comforts.  Laughter, song, and instrument.  It appears crowded, but not overpacked.

Nods.. seeming to accept that answer as fair " well, Thank you kind halfling " she bows with her face up.. Haarl trained her never to loose site of someone so close.  She stands up, pivots on her oversized paw, and heads into the establishment.  If the ceiling is too low for her 6'8" frame .. she'll hobble around bent over, with her hands on her knees.  She takes in the scene

She keeps an eye out for purple. No one would go to that extreme, without matching she pictures the purple horse with a matching rider on its back.  Heard rumors that bards or so garish, or at least the bards Haarl ordered to sing were

*mentally shrugs*

I’ll finish checking in, find my room, grab a bite to eat, then shuffle over to take a contemplative look at the horse.

Nothing immediate and obvious as you move into the room.  You get a lot of stares and everything quiets for a minute.

As the room quiets she smiles a and spread her Joel Embiid like wingspan.  " Hello friends, I'm Grandmother Akrah the Burgundy, Paladin of Quan Yin, Nice to meet all of you.  I've been told i give amazing  life changing hugs,  if anyone needs one,  let me know"     she then tries to find and open table, unless anyone stops her for a hug

No one is yet that drunk, so no one steps forward.  You find a table and sit on the floor as the seats won't accommodate you.  A halfling does run over after a minute with a floor mat so you don't have to sit on the ground.

She sits on her knees, feet tucked under her rear, in proper Horarian etiquette.  She looks around, and tries to flag down someone to order some pies..  and drinks..

Staying at arms length (yours not his), a halfings with a mop of brown hair on his head and feet with a leather aprons stained with beer and pies walks over.

"Do you have coin to pay for drinks and food?" he asks in common.

She smiles down at the halfling - " I do, but i am not rich, how much for a whole pie?  a large beer, and maybe some meat?  Like a farmers sausage? " her stomach grumbles " maybe 3 "

Before our waiter runs off, I ask him if they're serving any pies with nuts. If so, I'll order one for the table.

The waiter is completely occupied by Akrah, neither notices nor hears you.

When he returns, there is another halfing with him.  The crowd has started to talk at this point but many still looking over at you from time to time.

The other halfling, older, taller, wearing a fancy ring and dressed in nicer but not fancy clothes.

"You want to 'ole pig special?  On short notice?  We can do 'at, but it will be a cost 'cause magic needed for short notice.  How much do ye want ta pay?"

Is there a menu posted or a "specials board" where the ole pig is listed?  If so, I whisper into Akrah's ear the listed cost so that she can make a fair offer to the chef.  I'm literate in Halfling.

I smile at the older Halfling and ask: "Hello good sir; what does the ole pig special normally go for at your fine establishment? We most certainly wouldn't want to insult you with our offer. As you can see, we're not from around these parts. We are but a humble menagerie on a religious pilgrimage."

Akrah smiles " I could probably eat the whole pig.. but I asked for a whole pie!  What is the whole big special? is there a challenge?  Do you have a wall where travelers take on the peril of eating that much are perhaps immortalized?  " she seems engaged in the interaction. perhaps in the absurdity of eating challenges with halflings.

"We'd be happy to pay for the special." He asked for 2 copper, so I slide him a silver (5 copper, right?). "I hope this will do. If you have any pecan, candied walnut, or peanut butter mud pies, we'd like one of those too please." On second thought, I take the silver back and slide him a gold piece. "As a matter of fact, I'd like to buy a round for the house." Hopefully some of the strange looks on the patrons faces will turn to a smile after a drink.
