@Pardot -- The interior of the tower matches that of the Temple in architechture and style. The walls are decorated with elaborate scones and drapery. No paintings. This foyer has a central spiral staircase leading up. The staircase is flanked by two closed doors, each one set in the middle of a stone wall. A thin, weak-looking dragonborn is feebly trying to sweep the floor here with a well-worn broom. The room is triangular taking up a quarter of the tower. The dragonborne lets out a surprised squel as the owl suddenly appears in the room.
@Daventry-- roll perception
@Ludolf -- "Ah, the 'miracles' but for another... that is a nobel cause. I don't know the details but the results are astounding. Many a pilgrim has walked through the doors of the tower, had thier painting made and come out a new and improved soul. I don't now much more than that. Your friend must be a dear one and her illness unusual to travel all this way. Where the Clerics not of help to them? Where did you say you were from?" As he asks his question he finishes with the haircut. Unlocking your chair he drops the back dramatically and places a fresh towel on your face. You hear him sharpening his razor as he awaits your reply.
Roll perception at disadvantage as your face is covered in the comfort of warm, wet towel.

Surprised and quite suspicious over having a towel placed over his face Ludolf simply takes it off again, looking up at the elven barber with a frown. "That won't be necessary thank you." He mutters.
Seeing the scared, and clearly malnourished Dragonborn, Pardot sends the message to his owl to also ‘coo’ in surprise at appearing like this and to fly to the nearest piece of furniture and stop to look around, hoping to see how the man inside reacts. As he does this he says to Dav, “I think I’ve found the Dragonborn Ludolf was talking about. He doesn’t seem very healthy or much of a threat…”and continues holding on to his friend as he peers through his familiar’s eyes, trying to have his owl appear friendly and non-threatening.
Your owl flies and lands on a small side table. The dragonborn sighs. "Well can't have owls in the Tower let's go get you out of here."He move toward the front door. It appears he is going to open it shoo the intruder out.
Daventry all appears to be well outside the tower. No one has noticed your shenanigans at this point.
Ludolf -- The man smiles, "Ah, so no shave then? Fair I didn't really think you needed it anyways. Feel free to come back if you change you mind. Otherwise, I hope you find what you are looking for here. Sometimes, the answers are closer to your heart that you ever would have guessed. You just need to look."
Triäsa You open the door quickly and see a rather small kobold fiddling with a locked door two rooms down. They have not noticed you as they are intent in whatever it is they are doing.

The Kobold jumps in surprise as he throws his hands in the air a small screwdriver goes flying, "ACK! Where you come from! I try and fix the lock! Broken! Masters' sent me and tell me to fix. Please don't hurt me!" The kobold has faded white scales and purple eyes. He wears a patchwork dress.

Pardot directs his owl to get get shooed away after the Dragonborn opens the window, but instead of out to fly towards and up the spiral staircase. Once the window opens he blinks his eyes open and turns to Daventry saying, "The house isn't empty, but if you want to go in now is the time."After they walk towards the window, but before doing anything he'll check back in with his owl to see what's happening, and what's upstairs.
"The lock is broken? Which 'Masters' sent you?" Triäsa asks, trying to size up this kobold. (Insight: 14) While waiting for an answer, she will quickly move to retrieve the screwdriver, picking it up and handing it back to him.
@Pardot Your owl quickly takes flight up the spiral stairs to the second floor and finds... a kitchen... Your owl conveys a dank scent that fills the air in this well-used kitchen. Three tables stand in the room, one of which is covered in various vegetables and strange-looking cuts of meat. A wood stove burns brightly against the far wall, and a statue of a winged elf stands in the corner, its face carved into an open-mouthed smile. The spiral stairs continue up to another floor.
An elderly dwarf stands before the stove, his hands trembling as he tries to lift a heavy iron pot. Too preoccupied with his task he does not notice your owl.
For his part the dragonborn curses his luck and turns to follow the owl. He moves slowly as if in pain.
@Daventry -- You see a slender figure making it's way toward the tower with grace. It appears to be a women's figure wearing green leathers and what appears to be a veil over her face. There is a large dog at her side. She is about 50feet away.
The kobold snatches the screwdriver, "Morgan asked me to fix. I do as they say. Don't want them to hurt me!"He quickly goes back to work on the lock frantic in his task.

"Surely the caretakers here, servants of Sune, would not hurt you," Triäsa says. She tries to get a closer look at the lock as the kobolt works to see if it really needs repair. (Investigation: 18) "What happened to the door anyway?"
"Shit. Someone's coming."Knowing Pardot can't see or hear her, Daventry instead squeezes his shoulder hard enough to get his attention.
Once Pardot seems to come back into his own self, Daventry will pretend to be admiring the grounds with her halfling friend, as opposed to creeping on the tower itself, attempting to be a pure tourist. Just a background figure, unimportant in the approaching woman's life.
Ludolf gives the elven barber a quizzical look, but then he nods and gets out of the barbers chair, looking himself in the mirror and then paying him for his services. "Thank you for that rather philosophical advice."He says a bit skeptically, but somehow the advice sticks in his mind. He would then give the elven barber a nod and go to the changing area to get a white robe for some relaxing time in the pool, trying to keep his mind off whether Triäsa would join him there later.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Feeling the squeeze on his shoulder, Pardot comes back to his vision and hears of the person coming quickly follows her lead trying to blend into the surroundings ((stealth 27))
Your barber looks you directly in the eye, places his hand on your chest just over your heart and says in a very serious tone, "'Tis more than philosophical advice my new friend." He smiles widely and starts cleaning his station. "The name is Ilam by the way. See you around."
Triäsa -- the lock definitely looks broken you even think you see how you could fix (Dex check to try) The Kobold gets really close to you and whispers, "The sisters! Drow! I used to be! I want to be a drow again. Help?"
Pardot and Daventry -- A bright green flash of light goes off followed by a sense of searing burning green liquid as your owl is melted just before it reaches the next floor.
Despite your best efforts the women heads directly to you. She approaches with her arms out to the side and palms up. "Welcome to the Temple of the Restful Lily. I see you found our home here at the tower. Funnily enough I don't think we have any appointments scheduled for this morning." The elf addressing you is a beutiful, cheerful wood elf with rosy cheeks. Her voice is melodious and carefree. The dog at her side is a massive bull mastiff. His tongue hangs lazily from his mouth and drowl covers the grass. "Please why don't you come inside, sice you are here there should be some tea still warm." She looks mostly toward Daventry as she speaks.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
With Ilam's words still on his mind Ludolf returns to the baths, quickly folding up his white robe and slipping down into the pleasant water to relax a while, oblivious to the adventures of his teammates, after a while putting his hand over his heart, closing his eyes for a brief moment of introspection. (Insight: 9 ;-)
