Cellica had been peacefully slumbering...well not really. She'd been plagued by memories and was tossing and turning. She heard sounds in the distance but she wasn't sure if it was in her dream or in the Inn... after another loud bang Cellica shot up from the bed she'd been sleeping on, dagger clutched in her hand. But the only person there was Horus who had woken her. "What's going on?" she said when she heard ruckus outside of the room, she jumped out of the bed and quickly grabbed her staff, ready for a fight.

“We’re not sure,” Horus says to Cell in a low voice.
“Something was trapped in a closet in room 9 at the end of the hall. Andolin, Wren, and Terrance are looking downstairs, Darwin is checking out the beast and could probably use some help. If you’d like to head over to him, I’m just going to check why no one else woke up to the racket... we were at the complete other end of the hall. You’d think someone else would’ve heard it and woken up.”
Horus leaves and goes room to room, cracking open the doors that will open and peering inside

Andolin & Wren
The halls remain silent and unlit as you make your way quietly downstairs into the darkness. As you descent each stair creaks with old age under your feet, something which you note did not occur when you ascended. In the main bar, the windows are shuttered, and only faint moonlight and a few dying embers from the fireplace give any light.
Andolin, as you go down the stairs, you note that the head which had been mounted above the fireplace is missing.
Horus & Cellica
Let me know your actions, next steps
Darwin
The closet is against the outside wall, and there is no sign of any entrances above or below.
Examining the Bugbear's body, you see that the dagger has been driven into the spine between the shoulder blades with such force that the guard of the hilt is halfway buried in the wound, and the spine itself appears to be the only thing that stopped it being driven in further. The hairy bugbear's midsection is clothed in bear fur and it wears corroded metal bracers on its arms.
Looking at the side of its face, it is uncannily similar to the mounted head.
Terrance
The only answer to your clanging is the creaking of the floorboards as if they were very old.

Cellica quietly -or at least she thought it was quietly- walked to the door and opened it, peeking outside to see if she noticed anything strange in the hallway. She glanced back at Horus before stepping out into the hallway and making her way to the stairs to find the others. When Horus went to check the other rooms Cellica followed him "I think you could use more help covering these rooms.." she said.
<<Is there any light in the hallway? Cuz Cell doesn't have darkvision and I kinda don't want her to bang her head against a wall if I can help it xD>>

“Sure, come with me.”
Horus takes her hand after watching her grope around in the dark. “It’s this way,” he says laughing.

"Hey guys... I think something sinister is going on. We probably shouldn't split up. Let's meet back in my room and make a plan" Terrance calls out to everybody. While waiting for everyone to make their way back Terrance walls up to his window and tried to smash it with his mace.
There are 3 bunk-beds, a table with an unlit candle and chair, and a small chest. On the east side of the room there is a closed closet and beside that is a bench resting underneath a set of curtains that are currently closed, faint luminescence moonlight seeps around the edges of the curtains.

If that works he'd like to look outside. 16
Outside is a thick, almost solid fog the glows with diffused moonlight.

Darwin, after examining the body is honestly stumped. He scratches the top of his head as he pulls the dagger from the wound on the bugbear(STR check incoming just incase.)
"It got into the closet and was stabbed? Yet it looks like the same one mounted on the wall downstairs? I did not get enough sleep for this." Darwin says aloud as he walks out of the room, Not trying to be stealthy.

Terrance calls out to Darwin, "Come over here, and call Andolin and Wren up here. We can't risk them running into something dangerous without the rest of us."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If everyone assembles in the room ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Terrance claps his hands together. "Alright, so something either sinister or fantastic is going on and I believe we should approach it with caution." Terrance pauses as light spell on his shield dies out. He runs his hands over it again and recasts it. "My first idea is to go through all of these upstairs rooms, check under the beds look in the chests, and see if we can find out any information. Maybe we can discover some of the other patrons and they'll be able to tell us what they know." Gesturing out towards the broken window Terrance continues, "It doesn't look like the exits are trapped we could just leave. Or after clearing the upstairs maybe we can explore downstairs. What do you guys think?"
As the others search the body and attempt to rouse the other guests, Andolin freezes for a moment, his blood running cold at the sight of the missing bugbear head. Then cold, focused calm washes over him. "The head is gone," he whispers to Wren, nodding to the fireplace where the trophy hung previously. He steps out into the room, away from Wren a bit in the hopes that the young man can stay hidden, and he calls out into the low light, "Nezhyti? Olena? There was an intruder upstairs. Is everything ok?"
If he hears no answer before Darwin summons them back up, he will cautiously head up, not turning his back on the downstairs.
Cellica had almost fallen flat on her face in the dark Hallway if not for Horus grabbing her hand and leading her through the rooms. Before they could really investigate she heard Terrance call out to them asking if they could join and Cell stopped and turned her head towards where she heard Terrance call out. "Let's go back to the others. We might need more hands to search these rooms." She said without letting go of his hand -because she does not wanna bang her head against something- However she did glance through the room to see if there was anything of interest. But with her crappy vision she couldn't really make out the shapes except the faint silhouette of the table, a bunkbed maybe and a small chest. Making a mental note to go through that later when she could see more than 3 inches in front of her...
