Chatterbox: Inkwell

The Riddles of Gollum Inn

 You

You pull up the hood of your navy blue travling cloak as you walk down the winding path. It would ruin your pristine reputation if anyone saw you here. A few feet before you reach the forest you turn into a large ramshackle building with a sign hanging down: Gollum's Inn

You pull the door open as quietly as you can, but it still makes a wail like a banshee, however all though you feel like your earlobes have been layed to rest, no one but the barkeeper Goolum even looks your way. You limp to the bar where he stands, counting and polishing his gold coins. Who polishes coins???

"Vampire get yer' leg?" He asks, wheazing with laughter, as crule as the people you are trying to escape from by going here. Here everyone has somesort of defect, an inperfection. Seeing the look on your face Gollum responds, "Aww, I'm pullin' yer' leg . . . yer' good one!" He colapses under the bar in a fit of giggles, but quckly resurfaces when he hears you put your coin pouch on the counter with a clink. 

"One room agin'?" Gollum asks with a hopeful look.

"Yes, but this time I'm sharing with them." You motion to your two freinds sitting at a table plaing a game of cribbage. "We'll split the cost 3 ways."

Gollum motions for your frends to come over and reluctently they do, abandoning their game. 

"If yer' splitin' the cost, you each pay 10 gold. Pay up!" 

Reluctently you all do, though one of your freinds mutters that last time the were here it was 25 gold for a room, not 30. After your all payed up you go back sit at the table and begin a game of pinochle. You often put your hand in your pocket to make sure your remaining 9 coins are in there. Picpockets are common here and your partner would throw you out of the house if you spent too much money here. An hour passes . . .

Gollum

You spend the hour after they leave polishing glasses and checking your coins. At one point a scragly goblin comes up and asks for the price of a pastry. You say, (not too kindly) that you don't sell pastrys here and if they had only bothered to look at the menu they would have seen that. The menu is very nice if you do say so yourself. You stop your work to gaze at it lovingly.

Menu:

1.) Confrence room for 1 day: 40 gold

2.) Large private table: 7 gold

3.) Reserve a table: 5 gold

4.) One night stay: 25 gold

5.) Newlywed Sui-

You see that you have made a mistake. The one night stay is only 25 gold. You do not want to give back your shinys, or admit you were wrong, but you don't want them to sue you - thats happened before and you couldn't stand the clean courtrooms and having to give away a good amount of shinys. You open your coin chest and take out 5 gold coins, have a quick cry, and then walk over a plan formulating in your head.

"Helo' lads. I see I have-" you sniff  "Made a mistake in the payment," You hold back having a temper tantrum and decide to get on your knees and have a quick moment of rest for the shinys . . . there is one way you may not need to give all of them away . . . end mabey even make a small shiny gain . . .

You stand "Thank you for hounoring our fallen shinys with me, but now lets get back to buisness. I was wrong, the room cost is 25 gold not 30. However you cannot split 5 gold 3 ways. So what we will do is I will give you each 1 gold back, and keep 2 for me . . . as a tip."

"Wait a-" one of the people inturupts.

"UhUhUh, I deserve those two shinys. So now you have all payed 9 shinys each and I have 2 so our total is-"

"29!" one of them breaks in "(9x3=27) +2=29! Not 30! What happened to the last coin."

I grined "You all have swindled me! You must pay me an extra coin! We are one short!" 

What happened to the last coin?

That is where my story ends and yours begins. You will move around the inn and your actions will cause me to post new storys with riddles for you to solve. When I post a new story, I will also put the last riddle answer. This is my first kind of RP, so please tell me how I can improve. I will also post a image of the inn's floorplan later.
