Sorry, I'm beginning to enter a vacation period and while I will try to check-in at least daily, I cannot promise that I will always be able to do so. From September 1, I should be back to normal.
Upon arriving at the tavern, Savine greeted you warmly with a friendly smile. "Hello, good evening! Welcome back. I hope you had a great day," she says, informing shortly after that there are three double suites ready for you. The halfling efficiently moved some items in some place out of sight behind the counter, and appears with six cards, two blue, two orange, and two green, which she arranges in front of you. "The suites are located at the end of the east corridor and could be identified by the color of the lock which has the same color as these key-cards. To gain access to the room or activate any equipment, simply bring the card close to the designated area. In the room, you could find a menu of snacks and quick bites available 24 hours. The kitchen will be opened for dinner in an hour.
If you would like, I can assist you with the check-in process by accompanying you to your room", she says, and then continues:
"At 9 pm, a renowned group of artists from House Phiarlan would have a presentation, and the tavern would certainly have a full house. So, If you wish to have dinner here, I ask you please to reserve the table and time you would like.
Savine so, turn to Rylia. "Lady Elaydren had commented on your violin-playing skills and I would like to invite you to play before the 9 pm show. We would be honored if you can accept our invitation"
"Oh, by the way, I have a message for you from Lady Elaydren too." Savine hands a sealed envelope to whoever is closest to her.
Rylia ponders the colored cards a moment, but is immediately distracted at the offer of performing. "Of course I'll play! Lady Elaydren is very kind."
Savine already having her attention, Rylia teaches out to take the envelope. "Should I open it here?" she asks, looking to the rest of the group. "Or perhaps in private?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Brother Coltinar comments, "Most kind Savine thank you and send our appreciation to Lady Elaydren. Perhaps the opening act can set our dinner reservations so they can enjoy a dinner and get ready to entertain the guests? If they prefer to entertain on empty stomachs, I'd say an hour before their act for dinner reservations would be suitable. Savine does that sound appropriate for dinner given the meal prep time by the chef and wait staff for service?"
"I'd like to take some time to freshen up a bit then in a room." As he reaches out for the card. 3 Blue = 1,2; Orange = 3,4; Green = 5,6 for Brother Coltinar's card seleciton randomly.

Feeling something heavy inside only makes Rylia more curious. "What do you suppose could be in there?"she asks to nobody in particular. She holds up the envelope so that all can see as she studies it closely.
Then she rapidly draws it back, holding it against her chest. "It could be important," she says dramatically. "Do you think I should open it?" She hardly waits for a response before answering herself. "I should just take a peek."
Very cautiously she starts to unseal the envelope. Once done, she carefully opens it and peers inside.
Arr take a random key, completely missing the fact that they go in pairs. "We think we should open it," Arr reinsures Rylia, "But, yeah, have a quick peek first if we should keep it private or if it is ok to open it right here."

"Hmm? Dinner?" Rylia asks. With the proposal to perform and then the envelope she'd forgotten about the rest. "Yea. That sounds good Brother Coltinar. If I started at 8 then we could meet just before 7 for dinner?" She suddenly looks at the room cards, very intent to see which are left. She notes that Paladin and Arr both took green ones, leaving one blue and two orange.
Quickly she snatches up both of the orange ones. She holds out one of the cards to Bryn. "Here, you should take this one." She pauses a moment, looking at him with a smile, "Figured we ought to take the same room." She suddenly blushes slightly, her smile replaced by a slightly worried look. She speaks a little more awkwardly. "I mean, it would make sense... umm... because we've known each other longer. Right? If it's ok with you of course."
Just as swiftly she turns back to the envelope she'd been looking at, again trying to peer into it. "Let's see if I can tell what's in here."
Brother Coltinar replies, "Ah...It could be anything that could fit inside the envelope my dear. I would hope it would be something of interest to you and beneficial in some way. Our employer seems interested in helping us and ensuring we can complete our tasks. There may be other interests involved as well. I hope everyone enjoys your quick rest before mealtime."
Brother Coltinar will escort others to their rooms if near his own and he will acquaint himself with the operation of the card and room along with any amenities that do not tax his funds to much. If a security process is available in the room, he'll secure his gear while bathing and keeping access to the secure area with or near him. He would enjoy the balcony if one is present. Brother Coltinar is hyper alert after all that's happened to the group.

Rylia peers into the envelope and sees a small, flat rock and a folded sheet of paper.
Arr leaves everything in his room as he believes they won’t go anywhere until the morning. He only takes his new tinkers’ tools with him to dinner, hoping it wouldn’t be too awkward for a warforged to bring mechanical tools.

"Hrm, a flat stone," Rylia tells the others. "And a note. Perhaps we should open it in our rooms just in case?" She finally heads off to find the room that goes with the orange card as the others go. Once at the room she would fully open the envelope, taking out the stone, giving it a brief look, then reading the note inside. She welcomes any of the party that wants to come along.
Rylia takes the stone out of the envelope and immediately feels arcane energy coming from it. She reads the note.
Dear explorers, Your appointment is confirmed tomorrow. It won't be in our enclave, but right at our forgehold in Upper Cogs. This will be more discreet and will also be an opportunity for the Sir Paladin and Sir Rage to make a brief revision, as we still maintain a specific section for warforgeds there. A trusted friend of mine, Master Arber D'Cannith, will also be there. Look for him and he will give you the attention you need.
At Broken Anvil, Savine is at your disposal for whatever you need. The accommodation for today has already been paid for and includes full service. I hope you enjoy.
In the envelope, you will find a stone. It's a sending stone that you can use to let us know when you're back or in an emergency situation. It will put you in direct contact with Skyrin.
Sending Stone
Sending Stone Wondrous item, uncommon
Sending stones come in pairs, with each smooth stone carved to match the other so the pairing is easily recognized. While you touch one stone, you can use an action to cast the sending spell from it. The target is the bearer of the other stone. If no creature bears the other stone, you know that fact as soon as you use the stone and don't cast the spell.
Once sending is cast through the stones, they can't be used again until the next dawn. If one of the stones in a pair is destroyed, the other one becomes nonmagical.
I leave you my best wishes for our mission. Best regards, Elaydren D'Vown Cannith
P.S. Dear Rylia, I recommend you to Savine for a showcase. I hope you enjoys it and have fun.
Arr read the note when offered. A revision? They never had one before as far as they can tell. What will they find? A little bit nervous about the coming day, Arr returns to his room and informs the meditating Paladin about the note and that they will do a revision to them, “Have you ever had a revision before? What do they do? And how will that feel? They will not shut us down, right? And we will remember afterwards?” Arr ask with a raising worry in their voice.“

Bryn grins at Rylia. "Well, since we slept together here last night, I'm up for a repeat."rim shot!"But seriously, we make a good pair. We should stick together.."
When they are in the room, Bryn reads the note over Rylia's shoulder and examines the sending stone. "Well, this should come in handy. And a private audience in the forgehold itself? We've hit the jackpot! I wonder what kind of improvements they can make for our new warforged friends? I've never seen anything like that before!!"
Once the rest of the party heads to their respective rooms, Bryn will offer Rylia the first turn in the bath. "You have a big chance tonight, playing here in front of these muckity-mucks. It's your show, and you're the only star they should see. You let me know how I can help your performance - and I won't feel bad just sitting at our table and clapping loudly for you!"

(I have a little bit of a timing issue, due to paladin going to meditate. I will assume this is prior to said meditations)
"I am unsure. I've had work done, the sigil of the Sacred Flame on my faceplate. Never 'revisions,' that seems... Invasive. Perhaps it could be that they might provide you with new plating. Would you want that?"
“We… we don’t know if… if we want that.” He replies concerned. “Maybe, we have a look and see what they have planned and decide there?”
