    Alora will go through the door marked 'Employees Only' and listen and check for traps on the next door (just in case the minitaurs have spent the last two days preparing against intruders!). She will then drop back behind the big guys when the open the door.

    "We should go and see what the cows are doing then we should go and see the little giants and tell them they don't have to be frightened anymore because we killed the sharks. Everyone is going to be so happy!"

    The doors are neither locked nor trapped. Inside, the Minitaurs have toppled the crate, but as the meat is packed in salt, they have rejected it as unfit to eat. They are in the process of trying to topple a barrel. To your eyes, they definitely look thinner than the last time you saw them.

    To reiterate: This is a crowded room that smells of salted meats. It is lit by a glowing crystal ball attached to the ceiling high above… somehow. A small wooden table sits in the middle of the room, surrounded by several chairs, in the corner of the room is a wooden desk with a plaque on top of it reading, "Zando- Office Manager". Stacked against the far wall are several dozen crates and barrels, labeled "Meat". Two creatures are struggling to tip over one of the barrels. They are three feet tall, with bodies like men and heads like bulls.

    The Minitaurs are whining in distress, and are about 3' tall. When you just look into the room, you can see two more doors- one leading south, the other east.

    Stay back...

    *Anomen slowly walks into the door with his shield up and holding his mace in a non threatening posture.*

    Do you want me to get the barrel for you little guys? *he asks pointing to the barrel with his mace while attempting to make eye contact*

    "They're hungry!" Alora can't think of anything worse than being hungry.

    "I've got chocolate cake. Anomen ask them if they want some chocolate cake?"

    You can see why they rejected the meat- each piece is covered in a thick layer of salt. If you wash the meat in the water from the stream, it would probably be a lot more palatable to them. Or, if you have meat in your rations, you could offer it to them and wash the rest…

    The Minitaurs snort and paw the ground. It's like they want to defend the meat, but with the number of you they see, they are uncomfortable with doing so...

    They do not appear interested in the cake or cordial very much. They sniff it, but don't appear to think it's edible food.

    Alora will eat cake and drink cordial to show good faith (and because she hates to see food go to waste).

    OOC: Having previously thought it OOC of Alora to think of shark meat now I have changed my mind. Maybe it is the kind of thing she would do?

    Alora goes back to the other room, cuts a couple of shark steaks and brings them back to offer the the minitaurs.

    OOC: Would she offer them a hamburger?

    OOC: While Aerie is washing the meat, I cast detect evil on them.

    OOC: I'm not sure. I think she expected them to eat grass.

    OOC: Unfortunately I had no time today to post something in-character, hopefully tomorrow I can be around more often and actually participate. Also, what a good move to befriend the minitaurs! I hope they can find a sustainable food-resource after we are gone.

    Don't be rummaging through other people's things girl. They are not yours.

    "That is not your decision to make," Jaheira injected, locking a relatively hostile glare on Anomen. He was hardly her favorite person (neither was Alora, for that matter), so her tolerance for him was lower than it might otherwise have been. Sliding nearer to the Half-wit and the Rashemenite idiot, she asked, "What have you found?" She wanted to find the father of the brat, and then discover a means to restore the balance to this afflicted place.

    The Minitaurs seem to be downcast by Anomen's refusal to play, but they gladly eat shark steaks until their little tummies bulge. Afterwards, they curl up together in the corner and fall asleep, nestled together like puppies.

    The Crystal ball is indeed affixed to the ceiling, but even when standing on Minsc, Alora cannot tell how. The desk is filled with the most boring paperwork Alora has ever seen- Employee records, tax release forms and requisition forms. Behind the desk, on the wall, features a bunch of humans pointing and laughing and falling on the floor laughing. A caption reads, "You want it WHEN?!?!"

    The barrels and crates are all full of salted meats and are pretty much the same as the broken-open cask- mainly pork with some beef thrown in. Mostly the fatty, gristly parts of such animals.

    "Zando," The boy responds, a bit truculently. "But I call him Da."

    Alora discovers that the corridor is not trapped, and the door at the end is not trapped. Inside this room, when she peeks through the door, she sees a dry moat with a cage in the center. The cage is empty but for a few bones. A sign on the side of the cage says, "Danger! Do Not Feed Meat!"

    She can't recognize the type of bones, but they are very clean and white.
