The banquet hall is like something you've never seen before.  It has gold encrusted tables and chairs, complete with embroidered tapestries and covers all over the floors.  The silverware is even made of diamonds as are all of the plates.  The ceilings are high wooden beams that glisten.
Banquet Hall, Inside Castle
a pelican
witch
I only mastered one spell in witch school. I can speak with inanimate objects. I use this spell in espionage. I work for the government.
What is it you could possibly need, bird? Sarah, the witch that lives in the cave deep in the forest, turned me into a pelican. Can you turn me back? We don't often undue the spells of our associates. What did you do to her? All I did was speak ill of her nose. But you know Sarah- her honker is enormous! It sounds like you asked for it. I'm sorry, I can't help you. Oh, please! Look... the thing is bulbous. I was only pointing out the obvious.  You should know better! But she called me smelly first! Well, sir pelican, that was the first thing I noticed to be fair. Really? I'm malodorous? *sniff sniff* That.... that foul odor is me? I'm afraid so. It's quite vile. Well, can you at least help me with my stink then?
