Nijal has been a bit of a recluse during this last downtime period. Nijal spent a large portion of it in the tavern's cellar, larger than normal considering it doubles as his room. Whenever the party did see him, he was bandaged from his fingertips up and with each day he was bandaged slightly further up until...
Nijal, now bandaged from his fingertips to just shy of his elbows and sitting at the bar slightly before sunrise one morning, was waiting for Chen to head out for his daily visit to the temple of Ilmater. As Chen comes down, Nijal gives him a slight nod and calls out just as Chen is pulling the door open to leave,
"Chen hold on just a moment," Nijal hops off his bar stool and pulls something out of his pocket as he walks over to Chen.
"I uh...I already did what I needed to with this and I figured...I figured you might want it for...whatever it is...," Nijal holds out his hand and gives Chen a small pouch he recognizes as Kherek's ashes.
Nijal finishes up with "Well I won't hold you up any longer." and heads back over to the bar and pours himself another cup of coffee as Chen leaves. Ace and Lucian eventually make their way down to the tavern for the day and Nijal, with a fresh cup of coffee in hand, says good morning to them both and steps outside onto the stoop of the tavern to sit down. As he sets his coffee down and pulls his pipe out his gaze meets with a cloaked deep gnome's, who seems to be headed straight for the tavern. Nijal looks on for another split second to realize three other cloaked figures seem to be pursuing the gnome. In the same instant of realization, a small orange bead falls between Nijal and the gnome from seemingly no where. That moment lasts ages as his gaze focuses on the bead and his mind considers the individuals headed his way but in reality it was no more than a split second. A wave of arcane heat suddenly erupts hitting Nijal as flames of immense heat wash over him, knocking him onto his back. The explosion hits with such force it shatters the tavern windows and chars the side of the building. As Nijal shakes off the explosion and stands up, he sees one of the cloaked figures grab something from the gnome and take off running down an alley. Nijal pauses just long enough to take stock of all the dead bodies in the street and realize his clothes are blackened and charred when Lucian and Ace burst out the door of the tavern. Nijal pulls off what little remains of his bandages, revealing fresh, heavily tattooed hands and forearms, and starts running towards the same alley as the cloaked suspect.
Nijal yells "Follow me!" over his shoulder as he reaches the corner of the building and darts into the alley.
At the fingertips it looks solid black and moving up from there it becomes apparent that it is really just runes stacked on top of each other. They are just so densely packed it looks solid on the hands and they are more sparsely stacked, more scattered as they get closer to the elbow. They are dwarven runes but it’s not in dwarven ( if I recall primordial uses dwarven runes and if not then whatever primordial uses). Sorry no Zhent winged snakes.
In response to Lady Silverhand's declaration that she intends to annex the Field Ward into the city, Chen says "We know it's Esvele Rosznar who has been stealing from all the nobles, who they've been calling "The Black Viper." We can't really prove it, yet, but we know it's her. I thought you should know, too. If you don't already know."
You enter a small shop in the Trades Ward named McGuffin's MacGuffins and behind the counter you see a middle aged gnome with multi-lens spectacles on. When he looks up, his eyes bulge out towards you. He greets you with a scruffy high pitched voice, "Hello and welcome to my shop."

Chen points at the Bag of Holding, and asks the gnome what it does, and assuming that he tells me what I, OOC, expect him to, then Chen will say, "Do you think you could make something like this, but instead of a satchel, you could make a utility kilt with pockets that could work like that?
He tells you that he can make a kilt with a pocket dimension with the same ability as the Bag of Holding but the pockets will be smaller and hold half the amount. It will take a 2 tenday to make and it will cost 200gd +100gd per pocket.
Chen says, "That is definitely something I will want, eventually. But, (he looks over at the rest of the group) my gold has other claims upon it--other priorities--for the time being. As soon as those get squared away, I will return. I'm very much looking forward to doing business with you, Mr. McGuffin.
"Hey, Mr. McGuffin, remember when I was here several tendays ago, and we talked about that Kilt of Holding? Well, I've managed to get the gold for you to make it for me. I'd like 5 pockets, please. Here's 700 gold pieces."

what do the tattoos look like?

After we are released, Lucian will say that he will meet up with everyone later and head off.
After few hours Lucian will show back up at Lif Your Spirits and start getting ready to chase down that Nimblewright. To anyone at the bar he'd say...
"Well, I say we go visit the Yawning Portal for a brief moment and go to the Cassalanter crypt from there. Sound good to everyone?"
Either way, I'm holding onto it. We don't have time to identify it anyway.
Ooc, why did Kevin ask about beardless dwarves in the city watch?
Sorry I meant to post that too.
3 keys for entering the vault: Beardless Dwarf, Invisible Person, Unicorn
Ace eyes the battle axe left behind by Meloon and speaks to Lucian who is now holding it
"Mind if I try that out? It looks like a fine weapon"
Unicorn Primara that we saved for Mirt
Me Invisible
Beardless Dwarf from the watch (combat capable and slightly (only slightly) more trustworthy)
Josh, would I know anything about the Axe being a bard born and raised in waterdeep?
You probably have heard of Azuredge and this battleaxe looks like its description but it hasnt done any magical effects in Meloon"s ownership
