Chapter 79: Hogilope

~

After fifteen minutes of wandering the rancid streets, Willow finally saw a decent-looking inn. On the way, she passed a number of brothels and similarly sketchy-looking establishments. She passed by them without hesitation, only pausing when she saw a slightly familiar-looking sign. 

"The Hogilope… wasn't there a tavern in Edain with a similar name?"

Adorning the sign was the image of a pig with deer antlers. 

Contrary to many of the establishments she'd passed by as she walked, there were no people idling around outside the inn.

'This looks like a decent enough place.'

Willow peeked her head around the side of the building, trying to find the stables. After walking to the far side, she saw a larger side door. A large lock hung from the door's handle, signaling to any would-be thieves that this wasn't a good target.

Ghost's evaluation of the inn was good as well, and he happily nodded his head when he saw the stable door.
