"We believe you, Miss Laringfass. Let Messrs. Flumplestump and Dempson and I investigate. Perhaps you should go downstairs and see about those guards shouting. I fear the sight of Messrs. Tithenraug and Mozu may concern them," Herd offers.
"why does everyone fink i eat people?" Tith crosses his arms angrily but doesn't disarm "an how could you beat my friends if i 'aven't got any? Closest fing i got is boss Mozu and the others up stairs. HA didn't fink of dat didja?" Tith has the arrogant expression of one who believes they just handily won an intellectual argument
// Herd is upstairs. He asked Cham Laringfass to go downstairs and see about the guards while he investigates the "suicide" scene. He assumes that Dempson and Flumplestump are staying to investigate, but they haven't spoken either way. //
Cham goes downstairs and she sees what has happened. "They look rough but they saved the inn and my life."
The guards obviously know Cham very well they put away their weapons. "What happened here, we get..."
Cham interrupts him impatiently, "Forget that for now, go and get Kurst... NOW." She adds the last word sharply when they don't move fast enough for her.
She looks to the motley crew left in the main room. "Thank you for your help." She starts to clean up a little, setting chairs upright, but she stays away from the bodies, not looking at them. She address Tith directly, "If you are hungry I can make you something after this place gets cleaned up, you don't have to eat... that." She indicates the assassin.
Mozu sighs, “He’s mentioned that he does not intend to eat the human. It’s purely intimidation. However, food of any kind would be good for him. Thank you.”

Tith will help by dragging the bodies outside and up to the orcs, then he sits and waits with Mozu "Oinky meat and moo meat are best, clucky meat is alright as well but not as loverly as ham!"
Cham goes into the backroom and comes out with a smoked ham still on the bone. She puts it on a platter and sets plates next to it. "Take what you want."
She then goes back to cleaning nervously, she keeps glancing up the stairs.

Mozu, seeing the goblin calmed, will walk upstairs to the scene of the crime, “Gnome. What are you doing?” Assuming that Curi tells Mozu, the hobgoblin will kneel on one knee to observe the corpse. Medicine: 20. “It would seem that the coward took his own life. Pathetic.”
“As Cham said, ‘he wouldn’t just kill himself.’ In leiu of a personal note, and with the proximal and contemporaneous presence of assassins, one should not rule out foul play.”
Curascious continues to examine the corpse and the scene nearby. // Passive Investigation is 15, would this be of use? What check should I be rolling here? //
The room seems relatively normal, Rodrik is laying on the floor where it appears he fell. His hopeknife is near his hand. There is nothing particularily out of the ordinary in the room.
From the hallway you hear, "My brother would not have killed himself." In the hallway is the man who was behind Rodrik in the tug of war. The family resemblance is obvious.
"Grath, he couldn't have... could he? We were under attack and he used his hope knife. We were outnumbered..." she looks down.
"I know my brother, and I know he wouldn’t kill himself. By his own account, he was in love with Brinya and was planning to marry her, even if our father disapproved. There’s something fishy about all of this, and I won’t dishonor Rodrik’s memory by accepting his ‘suicide’ without ruling out that something else happened."
He sighs, "Someone let them in. Someone opened the gates and let in the killers. It was someone from the town." He seems to be almost talking to himself. His head snaps up, he looks at the group in front of him. "Most of you aren't from here, you can find out who killed him. Curascious, you know how close knit this town is. Can you help?"
Tith would've followed them up gnawing on the ham bone. "He didn't kill 'imself, he yelled 'To arms, the village is under attack' s'what woke me in da first place. if'n he was choppin hisself why would he be hollerin? G'night." he then goes into his room an tries going back to sleep
Mozu stands to his full height. He looms down up the brother, “If you are sure that your brother was no coward, then it is clear that an assassin murdered him. Frankly, it’s the more likely option considering the circumstances. Your suspicions are justified. I will help...”
Mozu displays a very forced “smile.” However, it could be said to be bared teeth more than anything.
