Getting Snirf out of the Inn was no small feat considering the volume of rum he had imbibed. Setanta grabbed him and escoted him back to the cart, all under the watchful eye of Bloodstalker.

"Hey, Snirf- focus!" Setanta exclaimed. "We need to drive to the Hanging Door." Snirf, not inclined to 'focus' or do anything else constructive, headed directly for the cart, mumbling something about the volume of air in a chest of human holding, and about how slowly suffocation would commence.

Setanta was tired and the gnome was obviously too drunk to walk, let alone drive his own duo-cyclic-lizard-buggy. "Get away from those controls, Snirf- it's a faster walk." Setanta tried to keep the gnome away from the handles, because now Snirf's helmet had slid down to cover his face completely.

"Nonsense!" Snirf exclaimed, loudly, "Take your hands off my eyes or I will burn them off."

At this point Setanta was running out of options and patience, so he did what seemed to be the most direct and simple solution. Lifting the helmet off of Snirf quickly, he hit the gnome squarely underneath the jaw. Snirf went down with a gnome-sized thump, promptly starting to snore like a bandsaw.

"Well, he's at least sleeping now, if not quietly." Tomorrow his hangover will be so bad that he hopefully won't remember any this. If he does, I'll just tell him he fell and I tried to catch him.

Setanta chuckled to himself. We all have our strong suits- Wizards use magic, Bloodstalker kills wizards, and me, well, I hit things. Setanta knew he was more complicated than that, but right now simplicity seemed like the right approach to take.

Picking up Snirf, Setanta tossed the diminuitive pyro, with helmet, into the cart and walked over to Nhutcluck. "Well, I guess it's just you and me for now." Nhutcluck just stared back at him with those big, pseudo-intelligent black eyes and followed as Setanta led the "party" to the Hanging Door. At the Inn Setanta gave the Innkeeper enough gold to secure three days accomidation, and made sure that Nhutcluk would not be bothered in the stable, breakfast and baths would both be hot in the morning, and that no one would come near the rooms until Setana was awake. With that, they all finally got some sleep.
