Edeleth returns to his usual form, disappointed that he had failed to apprehend the assassin. He had a feeling they would meet again.
His attention drawn by Roscoe's words, Edeleth casts Mending on the broken window (if possible), then shuts and latches it.
"Thank you for your generous offer, Jarl Hammerstone," he says with a bow. "It will be a great honor to attend your celebration feast. Meanwhile, it has been an extremely long day, and we ought to inform our patron, Gavin McKullick, of our return and news. I hope you will understand if we retire now. Er...is there any chance of borrowing cable car fare?"

Roscoe nods as Edeleth mentions a bit of rest and then waves the arm again. Roscoe looks over the arm to see if there's any identifying marks that could help them find the assailant.
The Jarl scribbles a few words on a piece of parchment, melts a bit of red wax on it, and stamps it with his massive signet ring. He hands the parchment to Edeleth. "Here you go! Free 1st class cable car rides for life! For all of you. That's the very least I can do."
Meanwhile, Roscoe examines the Assassin's severed arm. It bares many scars, and a large tattoo of a Purple Snake....
Rosri is glad to get help up from the fey. He accepts the drink and take a long swallow from it and instantly he feel like himself again. “Thank you. That helped alot. I wish i had the recipe for this! ”
A little embarrassed over his melt down he stands off a bit from the others.
“The thieves guild master is dead. Murdered by The gingerbread man. I overheard a Dragon born and one of those thing we fought earlier talking over his body. That is how I knew you were in danger.”He looks at the Jarl. “I think the Gingerbread man might be one of them as well. I just wonder where they came from?” “They said something about one of them had the memories of the guild leader. I think something big is about to go down..” he looks at all of them.“And.. I’m sorry about my melt down. I get like that sometimes when it gets too much for me. Like I’m having a hard time breathing and my body just shuts down..anyway, I’m sorry.”
"I don't think you have anything to apologize for,"says Edeleth. "You arrived in the nick of time to foil the assassin. Your swiftness, Roscoe's strength and sacrifice, and Zyman's magical power saved the day. And my owls got us here. Good on all of us."

Edeleth examines the tattoo, wondering if the symbol might indicate an organization of some sort, instead of merely the assassin's taste in body art..

The Purple Snake rings a bell to Edelth...some sort of long forgotten order of Assasins from Centuries past. The name and symbol remains closely associated with the murders of many Rulers all over Talaveroth back then. They are not associated with any Nation or Race in particular
"Should we's keep this or feed it to the dogs?,"Roscoe says looking at the arm. He was realizing just how brutal his weaponry had become. He wasn't sure if he should feel proud of his progression or scared but it seemed to be helping the group and that made the halfling happy. He wipes his weapons clean attempting to keep the blades battle ready. As he twists, he can feel the slices in his back trying to clot and stop the bleeding. The armor hadn't saved him this time but it didn't make him want to leave it behind. The assassin was skilled with their blade and found a weak spot in the armor. Roscoe was determined to attempt to make sure that didn't happen again.
"Are yous all okay? That cloud of night made it hard to tell what all happened. So yous a snake?,"he asks Edeleth.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Yes, it seemed like the right shape to be in at the time,"says Edeleth, still looking at the arm. "I think we probably ought to leave the arm with the Jarl, as evidence. Unless you are determined to keep it as a souvenir of your heroic deeds here, in which case you will need to pack it in salt or something."
"That Assassin's tattoo is troubling. It's probable that we are merely dealing with an educated, historically-minded criminal who wants to associate himself with the long-go deeds of legendary assassins, or even a revived organization. But with planar portals opening all over the map, it's also possible that the assassin was brought here from some plane where the order of assassins still exists. or even from some point in Talaveroth's past history."Edeleth shudders at the thought of the Gingerbread Man possibly being able to bring back all the old villains of song and legend. It would not only be an aberration of the natural order, tying time itself into knots, but without the legendary heroes who had destroyed them, who could stand against such an army?
But oddly, the fight with the assassin has left Edeleth feeling oddly stronger. He reaches out toward Roscoe, laying a hand on his shoulder, and though he had thought healing beyond his abilities at the moment, finds the energy to cure some of Roscoe's injuries. (Yay, new spell slot!) Cure Wounds at Level 4: 26
Feeling completely tapped out now, he leans against the wall and closes his eyes.

Roscoe shifts slightly as the magic takes hold and the wounds completely seal closed, the poison being expelled at the same time. "Wow. We's will never get used to that. Yous magic is getting much stronger," Roscoe says with a smile.
He turns toward the Jarl and offers the severed arm. "We's think you should keep this."
When the team leave the Jarl Rosri ask: “When are we going back to the hide out? I could really need some of those vials we left there. It could really boost my damage output on these vile creatures.” He cringes on the thought off them. “ Oh that reminds me.. i took this with me when I packed. It a Hefty amount of gold. (1500) I think we should devide it in 5 parts, with one going to Gaston. Without him we would never have found the that hideout.”Rosri looks at each of them in the eyes as he speak.
"That is very generous of you,"says Edeleth. "I can't fly us back to the hideout until I get some rest, but as far as I am concerned, we can leave as soon as we have recovered. I gave Gaston my word that we would be back as soon as possible, and I am doing a poor job of keeping my promise to the mules to keep them safe."

After the very "cartoony" interaction between Roscoe and Snake Edeleth, the Jarl excuses himself, and invites the Party to stay at the Palace from now on if they wish. "You are Knights, after all. Therefore, I shall always have a room for you in my Halls. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have many messages to send. It is going to be a long night. I trust you will all do what's right for the City and its People."
He writes up another edict before he leaves, seals it, and hands it to Edeleth. "From now on, you have the authority to act on my behalf....Knight Inquisitors of the Three Peaks."
Roscoe's eyes go wide as he realizes what has been offered to him. He grins with excitement to the others. "We's done good again. We's are getting pretty good at this."
Edeleth returns to his usual form, disappointed that he had failed to apprehend the assassin. He had a feeling they would meet again.

"We'd are a great family," Roscor says as he cheers with the severed arm. "Yous all see this snake tattoo?"
Roscoe attempts to inspect the tattoo as they are an integral part of his own tribe's traditions. He compares the art to his own.

Yes, that is exactly the voice I was hearing the whole time 😂
Roscoe seems to be in agreement at the split of funds.

Rosri chuckles nervously at the reward.
”Yes. This time we did really good Roscoe!”
