   Penthesilea spent the rest of the day resting with periodic invasions of her rooms by Bladeraven who did not set off any practical jokes but instead acted as a messenger bringing Penthesilea news of the Castle and its surroundings. The Castle’s knights were out in force combing the area contained by the Mile Wall. If there were any more nasty surprises out there, the knights intended to find them!

     ThirdMeal for the Keyholder was a thick soup that did not need chewing. Ordinarily she would have wanted bread with it but chewing was still uncomfortable and she knew that she was lucky that she’d healed enough that she didn’t need her jaw wired shut before the Healers had gotten their hands on her.

     The Castle dining hall was abuzz with the tale of the day’s events and several members of the Nightkin tribe took the tales back to the Old Mansion where Kodiak listened quietly, a small smile on his face.

     Penthesilea made a relatively early night of it. She knew that she would heal faster asleep and there really wasn’t anything that she could do until she was healed. So she yielded to the enviable and slept.

      Kodiak went for a walk when it was well dark and found himself on a path that gave him an excellent view of the Keyholder’s Tower. He wondered which window was hers and then realized that he did not know which side of the Tower her bedchamber faced. He grinned in the dark and made a note to himself to find out.

The next morning

     Jasmine had heard the story of the rock troll attack and anxious to be in the Keyholder’s good graces, she slipped into the Keyholder’s tower with a FirstMeal tray for the Lady.  She found Penthesilea in her sitting room and Jasmine placed the tray before her.
     “I hope you like it, my Lady.  I made it myself. How are you feeling this morning?”

     “Better. The jaw isn't quite so unhappy. I just have to remember to eat on one side of my mouth until it heals.  *Digs into the food.* How did you convince Cook to let you use the kitchen? He's usually very fussy.”

     “He didn’t. I made it at my camp.  I parked my wagon in the Courtyard last night. It seemed the safest thing to do until the knights have finished searching the area.”

Keyholder: *Pushes back very empty plate.* Well, it was delicious. Maybe we should see about having you help with the food for the Spring planting festival. The way things are shaping up, we're going to be neck deep in guests. *Sir Michael enters and smiles at Jasmine who blushes.* Sir Michael. Jasmine seems to think that you would think less of her because she is a budding warrior maid and goes to the Demon’s Den on occassion. I could reassure her, tell her about your own visits there but I think you would be more effective at that than I. *Sir Michael looks at Jasmine and grins.*

Sir Michael: I'll take care of it, my Lady.

Keyholder: *smiles* I thought you would. I'll leave you two alone...

     Sir Michael proceeds to convince Jasmine that he approves hardily of her and her activities, leaving Jasmine happy and blushing.

Old Mansion at Penthesilea's Castle

*The Keyholder stands in front of a door with the number 1313 on it, addressing the group of Nightkin gathered around.*

Keyholder: This door leads to a new nightclub in East Madridoor that caters to Nightkin and other night-loving souls. It isn't a trap and you are perfectly welcome, just check the house rules on nibbling.

     The Keyholder smiles as the Nightkin scatter to change clothes.

     The head of the Nightkin tribe smiles at Penthesilea. “Thank you for the reassurance and the scouting report. My people were going a bit stir crazy. Crowhaven isn’t as hospitable to our kind as we could wish.”
     “My pleasure,” Penth replied. “This doorway is stable so it’s safe to use.”
     “Have you found out where all the doorways go, my lady?”

     “Nope. It is especially difficult when new doors keep materializing! Fortunately the really dangerous ones are in the catacombs under my Tower where I can keep an eye on them.”
Penthesilea then returns to the Castle and heads for the Pub which is just opening for the day.

Joins Bladey. “It is a possibility. Damage doesn't look too bad though. Good thing most of the furniture is flame resistant.”

*Several soot covered elves sit up and look around.*

     Penth left Bladeraven to contemplate the virtues of smoke flavored ale. She passed Han on the way into the Pub and from the grin he gave her, Penth knew that Bladey wouldn’t be contemplating alone for long! With a grin on her own lips, the Keyholder went about her day’s work.

Castle Pub

*The Keyholder enters the Pub. It has been cleaned up and patrons are starting to arrive. The serving maids bustle about with trays of food and drink. The dancing girl, Jade, is beginning her first set of the night. The Keyholder walks up to the bartender, Tariq McGee.*

McGee: The usual, my Lady? *The Keyholder nods and McGee produces an icy cold mug of root beer.*

Keyholder: Where's Bladeraven? The warriors are coming in. I'm surprised she's not here.

McGee: Said she had an appointment with the most important man in her life....

Keyholder: Reading Grasshopper a bedtime story. *Lifts her mug in salute.* To the children! *Drinks deep and settles in to watch Jade dance.....*

Castle Pub

*Her drink finished, the Keyholder rises from her barstool.* I'd best see what my offspring are up to. Later, McGee. *The bartender waves as the Keyholder exits the Pub.*

Keyholder's Study, late that night..

*The Keyholder is catching up on her reading...*

Ashera: Keyholder. There is a problem.

Keyholder: Report.

Ashera: There has been a disturbance in the catacombs. Level 10, Section 20. I believe that the intruder is from Reality 817.

Keyholder: That could be a problem. *Puts the book away.* So much for catching up on my reading.

*The Keyholder arms herself and heads for the catacombs...*

Great Hall

     The Keyholder enters, descending the stairs from the Entry Hall to the floor of the Great Hall. Her clothes are in shreds, her face is cut and she bleeds from a dozen vicious wounds!

Ashera: Keyholder!

Keyholder: I caught it. It was heading for the Smallkin village but I caught it. Good thing I'm hard to kill! (pause) I'm not doing too well, Ashera. Some help in getting to the Infirmary would be appreciated. *The Keyholder sinks to her knees....and falls.*

Ashera: Medical Emergency in the Great Hall! Medical Emergency in the Great Hall! Medical Personnel: Report to the Great Hall!
