You are tired from a long day's travel. It was extremely hot all morning, and both you and your seemingly only companion, your old beaten horse, and both worn out and need a place to rest for the night. Fortunately, as you continue down the path, you see a large building on a hill all the way to your right, and you make it out to be an inn.
"Ah, finally, my luck is beginning to brighten", you say to no one in particular.
As you make the climb towards the building, it becomes indeed an inn in view. You make your way to the front of the building. An unusual name hung from the door. "The Inn of
You don't pay much mind to this however. After all, what have you got to love, besides your horse and the road? After leaving your horse in the stables, you go in the inn, and is greeted by a fat jolly man. However, you notice and unusual feature. A white mask, leaving nothing but his eye exposed, covers the right side of his face.
"Hello, hello, traveler! I am Ser Arthur Dayne, the innkeeper here, And you're just in time! I was just about to lock the doors for the night, indeed I was."
"Please, have a seat and enjoy tonight's supper. Tonight's special is steak with potatoes and corn! But, if I may make a request, please do sit on an empty table. I don't want any love sparking between my guests” He almost hissed that last sentence.
You look around and find five others sitting in the diner room, each at their own table. You also pick out a table, one near the fireplace, and eat supper.
"A room for the night innkeeper", you toss two gold coins towards him.
"Ah, but of course. Seems we'll be having six guests tonight. Barbara, get the rooms read, won't you", he yelled to one of the barmaids.
You slowly go to the room the two shadows made their way to, and after putting your ear to the door for a few minutes, you burst open the door.
"Shit! Out of the window!" You hear someone in the dark yell, and see two shadows jump out of the window. As you go to the window to see who they were, you hear a commotion from downstairs.
"Fire!" "Fire!" Someone was yelling.
As you make your way downstairs and start helping put out the fire in the kitchen, you notice two shadows slipping in from the front windows. No one else seemed to notice them, and suddenly, as you turn around, you notice the two shadow are lost within the hustle and bustle of the maids and guests trying to put out the fire.
After the fire is put out, you see the innkeeper, you see the innkeeper turn around to the people. "Sara, Barbara, go and lock the doors and windows. You others", he pointed to the other maids, "you watch the exists and make sure no one escapes!"
"What is going on?" one of the five other visitors askes.
"I'll tell you what’s going on!" The innkeeper growled. As he began to talk, you notice an eerie red glow come out of the mask on his right side of his face.
"This was the work of lovers!" he hissed. "They thought they can get away that easily by starting a fire in the kitchens and then trying to mingle themselves back with the rest? Ha! We’ll, not on my watch!"
"Two of you six are in love! It is up to the four others to bring justice! You see, love is poison. A sweet poison, yes, but it will kill you all the same! And I will not face death again. No one is allowed to leave 'till you figure this mess out!" he says.
And so it begins...
