Razz giddily whispers to Chipper, "I like the way you think. We should be able to do that easily with how drunk they are now."

Kessintra is surprised, but clearly grateful. "Alright. We'll do our best to keep it alive tonight and take good care of it. Does it have a name and anything in particular it likes to eat other than Vistani?" She hands Rictavio his books to pack away. If it can track Vistani, maybe it can help them find Ezmerelda later.

"No name. I've been feeding him wolf steak from here. Hopefully he'll like cultist. Now, if there's nothing else you need, I'm going to go tie up loose ends." He puts the books, journal, ink, and quill into the backpack. "I hope to see you around." If no one stops him, he's going to exit the inn.

Kessintra gives a small wave as Rictavio leaves before exiting the room as well. She decides to look around the upper floor for good places to hide that also have a good view of the lower floor so that she can use her bow when Fiona shows up.

Perception: 17

She also casts message on Chipper and Razz to let them know of the plan to lure Fiona here, as well as the news that they've acquired a tiger for tonight.

Once the rest of the party is ready, she will put out any lights on the upper floor and then message Urwin, asking him to advise the other patrons to clear out and send Fiona a note saying that her sons are causing trouble at his establishment again and she needs to come collect them.

Razz whispers to Chipper everything he's heard from the boys and the hopes that he can relay the info back to Kess.  If only he had thought to cast Speak with Animals on her before they started, he could have hooty give her a reply. He then murmured to Chipper, "I think we should try to knock them out before she gets here so we don't have to try to deal with them and her at the same time.  If they're tied up and nearby, it might keep her from being about to go all out.  Though, I wouldn't want them to get caught in any crossfire if they aren't anything more than some ignorant fools trying to use their family power for selfish reasons.  That hardly demands the harsh treatment they'll obtain from the receiving end of one of our spells..."

[[ Think [Tooltip Not Found]'s self-AoE would preclude it from being cast on others. ]]

Chipper grins, "Tying them up sounds like a delightful idea, Razzy." 

[[ did the short rest on his sheet; seems like overall others were doing it too by now ]]

He eyes Kess and gestures to his own rope to get her in on the plan. [[ Assuming bar is empty now. ]] He then casts minor illusion to create a fine bottle of wine accompanied by a loud pop, as if a cork was popped, and the distant voice of Urwin saying, "Take this on the house and then bugger off, won't you."
He places the illusion in a location of the bar conducive to the party being able to get a drop on the brothers.

The upper floor is just one railed "hallway" directly above the bar and exposed to the floor below. You can shoot from any spot, but none of them are necessarily better for hiding.

The brothers immediately start to run toward the illusory bottle, pushing each other along the way. Their attempts at slowing the other down are ineffective due to their drunkenness.

Kessintra nods to Chipper, giving a chuckle as she watches the brothers drunkenly race towards the fake wine. She heads down to the lower floor to help capture the two, if it can even be called that.

Razz sees the path they are running toward the fake bottle of wine and decides to cast Prestidigitation to soil the floor between them and the bottle making it as slick as he can with sloppy mud hoping that they lose their footing while running and drunk

(He'll be ready to remove the mud if any of the other party members get close to it so they don't slip on it as well)

Dex saves at disadvantage: 11, 2 (One of them lost a nat 20 to the disadvantage and the other got a nat 1...)

They both slip and fall. They're prone.

Kessintra emerges from the kitchen area just in time to witness the brothers slip and fall. A rare laugh escapes her as she shakes her head.

"Tying them up might be a waste of rope. I was hoping to use them as shields to make Fiona hold back, but she might be glad for an excuse to be rid of them."

Ada shakes her head as Rictavio leaves. She supposes not everyone can be persuaded to stay and do the right thing. At least they got a tiger out of the conversation though. She's still not entirely sure what the Vistani are though and what they've done to deserve being eaten by a tiger. 

She follows Kessintra and Garrick back down to the main floor, just in time to see the two brothers slip and fall on their faces. This elicits a rare chuckle from the paladin. 

"Looks like you boys can't handle your alcohol," she tells them.

"Who cares if we can handle it?!" They each try to get up but fall again. "We just want more!"

Laughing as well at the ridiculous sight, Garrick orders Striker to slither on top of them, pinning them to the ground (Grapple) while Kess restrains them.

Grapple - Nat 20 +2

Razz will clean up his mess to help make sure the party isn't caught up in their antics.

"Alright, alright. You can have as much as you want if you behave for us for a bit." Kess moves over to tie them up, appreciative of Razz removing the mud. She will check them for valuables while she's at it.

Sleight of hand: 24

They only have a pouch with 24 gold and 4 silver.

Kess will just take 4 gold and divide the rest evenly amongst everyone else.

"I was going to try the upper floor, but there are more places to hide down here. Is everyone alright with surprise attacking Fiona as soon as she comes a little ways inside? I doubt talking with her will accomplish anything. It'd be good if we could block the exit behind her somehow too, so she and her bodyguards can't run out and alert anyone else."

(5gp 1sp to everyone -Kess)

Garrick will stand by the door with Striker and attempt to prevent anyone from escaping once they’ve entered.
