Fork provides a wide variety of lodging opportunities. The best lodging will be on the Southside, especially as it moves towards the Eastside. The Westside provides the cheapest lodging. The rates given here are per person. Bond fees are usually per group, as long as the arms and armor can be carried on one cart. It’s a nice gesture to tip the bondsman twenty percent, but not usually necessary.

Rich lodgings are usually a suite, and can accommodate one or two nobles and two to eight of their servants.
I’ve given Lisport House as an example of rich lodging, since there’s a good chance they’ll be staying there. Lisport House is a prestigious place. As long as Meril’s friend is a noble, Meril will expect them to stay at Lisport House and the character should want to. If, however, none of the characters is a noble, they’ll need to stay elsewhere. If the characters are acting as Meril’s bodyguard, he’ll put them up in good lodging as part of their payment.
Lisport House
The lodger’s first contact with Lisport House is often one of their two bondsmen, sixteen-year-old Daniel Holt or seventeen-year-old George Davis. George is the son of one of Meril’s servants. Daniel is himself nobility, the fifth son of the Earl of Melridge, a small town halfway between New Horse and Firetree. George hopes to support himself and one of the other maidservants at Lisport House. Daniel wishes to gain martial renown, and will be very impressed by any adventuring stories the group relates.
Daniel Holt: (Warrior: 1; Survival: 8; Move: 12; Attack: long sword; Damage: 1d8+1; Defense: 4)
George Davis: (Warrior: 1; Survival: 9; Move: 10; Attack: long sword; Damage: 1d8; Defense: 3)
Lisport House is at the corner of Prospect Street and Godsend Lane, one block from Meadow Road. Its official address is 900 Godsend Lane.
