Our eyes should be black. Also, wtf at the fact we "always end up in situations" involving dead bodies.

Ask the following questions: 5. Pony - this seems like an important question to ask and also a pretty obvious thing to ask an inn owner 1. How long open - this is the kind of chit-chat and also might give us an opportunity to butter her up by saying how awesome it is that she started her own inn only three years ago / has kept this place running for decades / whatever 4. Other guests - she might tell us about said other guests and help us make friends or find someone else heading our way or whatever I am intentionally not voting for the other two. Asking about bag help seems pointless (it's a small inn in the middle of nowhere, asking is going to make us seem like a dumbass city dweller) and calling her rooms cheap seems like it might be offensive. For order, I think it makes sense to go by percentage of votes. The question that everybody wants to ask goes first, then the next highest percentage next, etc, all the way down to "just cleared the 50% bar". Explaining the mechanically optimal strategy afterwards would be interesting, but sometimes making mistakes is part of the deal with CYOA.

Who are the other guests? - Gotta get that background intel. Ask all the follow-ups we can about the Inn's history; she seems to love talking about it. If we're only allowed to ask one, then ask about the name. I'm sorry to hear that times are rough. Pretty obvious answer here.

We were just curious about other guests. We have basically zero sneaky/thieving abilities, so we'd probably fail at trying to sneak a peek of the ledger. As for the bribe, it's not clear if she'd accept it and in any case we've already spent a lot of our money so it's probably not a wise use of funds. We'll presumably meet the other guests soon enough anyways, then we can ask about her opinions of them after that if needed. I'm sorry about your husband's death. Makes us sound sympathetic while still keeping that conversation thread active (unlike Option 4). I do think prying further into his death would be good, but asking about it straight isn't likely to get us anywhere. Use some magic to read her mind. The thread built this character to pump magic, be pretty dumb to pass up the opportunity to use our skills.

Let's check out rooms, starting from 6 and going in reverse numerical order to 2. Either to chat with others or to search unoccupied rooms for more information. This intentionally leaves #2 for last, because I suspect that'll be pointless anyways, so better to put that off for last rather than wasting our entire free hour on a fruitless argument.

1. All the money We already broke into his room, broke into his closet, and are taking money from his purse. At this point, he's going to be loving pissed at us if he realizes it was us, regardless of whether we take 1/3/5 GP; might as well make the most money off it.

Knock on the door. This room is very clearly occupied and (unlike the dwarf) we don't know anything about the occupant, so let's be polite.

Let's do number 3 because we've successfully gotten into rooms 1 and 2 (ours, dwarf's), therefore, the sum of those rooms must also be a room we can successfully enter.

Magic this. Normally, I wouldn’t want to blow out one-shot spell this early, but it’s hard to imagine we’ll find a more suitable scenario than this.

Keep the cufflink - no real reason to get rid of it, plus it could potentially have value in future interrogations. Room 5 - I'd still kind of like to meet one of our fellow residents before dinner; just randomly picked #5.

I'm guessing the correct move was to say we met Daisy and used that as our in...but I think at this point, we've kind of missed that boat, so let's cut our losses and 2, leave her alone rather than trying to push and irritating her further.

Let's check outside. The dining hall we'll see soon enough anyways, but presumably it'll get dark at some point so it'd be good to hit up that now in case there's something important out there.

4, I think we're done here. The inn's history is probably pointless given that he's just a young hired hand, we already asked about guests, and he already likes us so bribery doesn't seem like it'll do much. We're probably still on a timelimit before dinner, so we can probably find something more productive to do with our last few minutes.

2. Respect half-orcs for being straightforward. Also, anybody want to take odds on whether we get our rear end kicked in this interaction? That 25/100 Combat stat isn't exactly giving me a lot of confidence that Glangwen can handle a pissed off 6'6" half-orc.

2. He ignored our knocks the first time, now slams the door in our face. We also don’t have any specific reason to want to talk to him, just a vague “hey, sup”. Might as well take the drat hint.

1. Check for keys. All because we *can* magically bust in anywhere via magic doesn't mean we should burn all our mana on doing so. Besides, maybe we find keys to other parts of the Inn.
