Summary of the fire / lightning strike and aftermath on Day 20
Day 20 started with a bang at 2:15am. The spell anchor inside the tented cart, sitting near a tree at the edge of the inn's stable courtyard, was struck by lightning. There was a loud explosive sound and the anchor sent bolts back up into the clouds, three of them which blew holes in the thick grey clouds and dispersed the cloud cover. The blue and white striped tent caught on fire with the first strike. Bolts of retaliation from the anchor set the tree ablaze while blowing the main iron support ring of the tent up into the air. Gravity caused it to crash down to ground. Fortunately, no one was struck by it.
A lot of travellers were awakened by this drama. Wizarding folk extinguished the fire and some went to the tavern hall, where Gemma had set up to welcome folks for drinks of alcohol or Enchantia's equivalent coffee-like brew.
Later in the morning, breakfast is served (eggs, bacon, breakfast foods). For those who didn't witness the previous night's drama, they find the tree mostly burned and the cart/wagon of the spell anchor collapsed. Its wheels shattered away, leaving the cart bed flat on the ground. The tent is gone, taken by flames. There is no other damage.
There will be one more day at Roaring Fords Inn to find another wagon and just to make sure everything else seems alright with the horses, etc.
Remember that Dany has dragons and they're definitely present. They won't hurt anyone but they are only approachable by Dany, in case some aren't familiar with Game of Thrones fandom.

appealing_emma and John Steed weir_needed joined the meeting (Day 19) called by Jaime Lannister and no doubt made some comments, at least introducing themselves so they will be known on sight by anyone at the meeting.
Sandor Clegane aka The Houndbirdsong_for_me also showed up for the meeting but he didn't introduce himself, choosing to sit away from others and drink himself into a drunken sleep.
Please add details or summaries about what your characters did at the early morning fire. Use the journals to record about the event or make comments if that's something your characters would do. Threads are always welcome too for the 20th day before the journey resumes the following morning.
