Asledin listens to the conversation, curious about the answer to Imra's question, but casually gazes about the room to assess some of the goings on.

Looking around you notice the table where 4 Orcs are sitting, arguing. While most of the people there seem to know everyone else, these four don't interact with anyone, keeping to themselves, hardly drinking. They seem to be coming to some sort of decision and they seem be checking over their weapons
"Of course, Theran." Ula bows their head slightly, trying to look apologetic and respectful. "I apologize for disturbing you both. Thanks again, Ziza for the help. It was nice to meet you, and Trina."
At this point in the evening Ula is feeling a little out of their depth. They're good at sailing and fighting, but trying to outwit someone or talk their way out of a situation is a little beyond them, and what was supposed to be a simple guarding job has rapidly escalated into something else entirely. They also really don't want to get kicked out of the tavern. So they'll step further out of the way of the stairs, maybe heading slowly in the direction of the bar, but try to keep an eye out for that rat and/or the same aura. Once they get within line of sight, they'll try to catch Asledin's attention and gesture for him to step away from the table. Ula is hoping to touch base with at least one other member of the party so they can compare notes about the last 20-ish minutes.

Oh, and another perception roll 15 to try to keep an eye on the rat/aura. If it seems to be making a break for it, Ula will use mage hand to try and pick the rat up. But just reaching into the baby basket seemed like a bad idea.

From your new vantage point you can clearly see the aura is coming from the basket. As you watch, the white rat raises it's head above the rim of the basket. It looks right at you, slowly and very deliberately shakes its head 'no' then slowly sinks back down.

Asledin will look away at the mention of the title of master, so as not to accidentally roll his eyes. Once he notices the suspicious Orcs, Asledin will give Imra a nudge with his elbow to get his attention. Once eye contact is made, he will nod his head in the direction of the table full of Orcs and whisper, "I think those Orc fellas are up to no good...that looks like a weapons check goin' on over there.". Asledin will continue to watch the Orcs closely and try to ascertain who or what they are getting ready to hit.

"There is no doubt in my mind that they are after the same prize we are" Lilli whispers "If they are checking weapons then they are likely getting ready to attack the Suite" then in a more normal volume "I think it wise we not involve ourselves"

Asledin looks at Lilli and says, "If we don't get involved, and they succeed, then we could lose out on gettin' it ourselves, otherwise, we might just be able to grab it during the confusion.".

Asledin shifts his gaze to Irma, "Whadya think?", he asks.

Flint pulls up short when the half-orc turns around. “I am sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt. I just wanted to thank you again for helping with my pack.” Flint pauses and looks around. “Wait, this room is rented for me and my party. I was one of those that met Raskin here. He said we had use of this room for the day. What are you doing back here? Are you working with Raskin too, do you know what is going on here? I wish someone would tell me.” Flint tries to get a peek at the paper.
Douglas waits by the door, still trying to hear what's going on out on the main floor. Once again considering Barricading the door, his hand rests on the lock.

"I am not here to give orders or tell you what you may or may not do" Lilli says, somewhat impatiently "From the information gleaned by Gashrak, an assault on the Suite is unlikely to succeed, so they may be simply tipping their hand. We do not need to do likewise, but what you do is up to you"

"Oh, I'm very sorry. Nobody had been using it. I'll get my stuff and go" he says, hastily, sweeping up the stack of papers "I don't know who Raskin is. Look, please don't tell my dad. I didn't even want to do this" he adds, somewhat defensively "He said Theran was shorthanded and I had to help"
You get a look at one of the pages. It's about a walk by the river south of Haven. It rhymes. You realize it's poetry. He shows you the one he's working on, describing the Dragon, the noises, smells, even the feel of the broom in his hands and he sweeps.

Ula was already trying to catch Asledin's attention, so I'll say she notices him gesture towards the Orcs. She's still by the stairs, so she'll stretch and yawn (after shooting another very quizzical look at the rat) and quickly head upstairs to the suite.
She's not sure who, if anyone, is still up there, so she'll knock on the door once and quietly say "It's Ula - I'm coming in," before trying to open it.
Douglas almost locks the door, then asks as the door starts to open, "Why couldn't fake Sariah take the package from you?" Waiting for a reply to finish opening the door.

Flint looks over the poetry “This is good work, very good.”He pats Dash on the back “You have a way with words. Don’t worry about using the room, my friends and I probably will not be back here. Truth is, I don’t really know Raskin myself, just took this job on.” Flint rubs his head “You know, there is some crazy things going on around here, I would appreciate it if you would help keep an eye out for us. I would make it worth your while.”Flint flips a gold coin over to Dash “It doesn’t hurt having an extra set of eyes around the place. Did you notice anyone new here tonight, anything out of the ordinary? Other than us” he chuckles
"Because I'd switched which pocket it was in? I don't have it anymore, though. A rat took it." Ula responds to Douglas, voice surprisingly controlled, if not exactly calm, despite the situation. "I really don't know what just happened downstairs, but some orcs are headed this way right now. So you should probably let me in quickly so we can regroup and make a new plan."
"Probably a good idea. It didn't seem like they were coming up here for a friendly chat." Ula starts looking around for the best furniture with which to create a barricade. I think there was a table and chairs in this first room? "Not that we even have the envelope up here for them to take. Like I said, a rat has it. Downstairs, with the baby. Can any of our party members turn into rats?"

The Orcs seem to come to some sort of consensus and get up and head for the stairs and the bell tower chimes once for midnight.
