Sinak says to them as they are walking, “I have one other skill, that may come to good use. With my Lady’s favor, I can cast a spell that makes a magical item appear normal, or a normal item appear magical. It might help us to take away or hide the magical aura of this statue, to avoid detection.”
Elovar agrees, "Fantastic! That sounds very useful, Sinak. Whether or not the statue is magical, your bucket certainly must be. If we plan to secret the statue away in the bucket, then we'll probably want to conceal the its magical nature.
Maybe we'll even be able to do some misdirection! Make it seem like some of us are there to steal the statue. If we use darkness to conceal the moment when the statue is taken, security won't know who has it. While they're busy catching and searching the suspicious individuals, our 'janitor' leaves, carrying a few buckets that he is taking to town for a cooper to fix their leaks."
Sinak walks toward the Inn, curious to learn more and interested more in a boat ride than necessarily stealing a boat. He walks toward the Inn and opens the door, looking around.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
As you enter the Inn you see a large bar with about 8 patrons sitting or standing at it, you would guess that these would be largely working people (possibly from the boats). They are drinking, eating and being friendly with the staff and each other.
You see three large tables. One table is occupied by 6 people in moderately expensive clothes, they are eating a meal and talking in an excited and friendly way.
The second table is populated by two people in expensive clothes, they are eating and talking quietly to each other. There are 3 attendants in matching livery standing behind or to the side of them, you would guess that these are servants or guards or both.
The last table is empty.
You see two members of staff working the bar, mainly chatting to the patrons at the bar.

Falkas follows Sinak in only to move passed him and grab a seat at the empty table with his back facing the nearest wall. He leans the mop against the table as well, keeping an eye on the people nearest him and trying to listen in to conversations for any juicy information.

From what you can hear, the two captains of the boats are at the bar with their crews. The 6 people at table 1 are talking about going to the casino, at least one sounds like they have been before and are explaining it to the others. The couple at table two are talking in a reserved manner about someone called Iris and what their daughter is doing this year.

Sinak nods to Falkas, but then quickly makes his way to the bathroom, avoiding the gaze of others and trying to stay unobtrusive. Once in the bathroom, he begins to rearrange things. He puts his rapier and shield into the bottom of the bucket of holding, hiding his dagger deep inside his clothing. He puts his backpack into the bottom of the bucket of holding. He tousles his hair, puts some dirt on his face, and he changes his cloak into the most basic traveling cloak, weather and grime stained, like that of a lowly servant drow. He walks out of the bathroom and looks around the room, “finding” the table where Falkas is, and walks over slowly, with a limp, saying “There’s my mop! I knew I left it somewhere.” He takes the “mop” and puts it into his bucket. He sits down and settles himself into the seat, and starts to complain about his feet aching.

Falkas nods and jerks his chin towards the bar. "You still need to get to work, at the casino yeah? " He then whispers, "Two boat captains at the bar, shall we get passage with one of them?"

Sorith heads into the inn, pausing at the table where Falkas had taken a seat. She grabs a chair and turns it backwards before seating herself down, arms crossed and resting on the chair back as she leans forward slightly. "He could add to it by offering to swab the decks," she suggests, jerking a thumb towards Sinak when he returns.
Falkas glances at Sorith and raises an eyebrow, before standing up to walk a little closer to the bar, "Hey, we're lookin' to get over to that casino, any of you gonna help us get there?"
One crew member starts saying “Who be you and how…” before he is cuffed by a larger sailor who says “Customers, now shut it.” He turns to Falkas and says “Well I’m Capt Thread and taking people along the river is what I do, for enough gold that is.” He indicates the table with six people and says “Now those good folks paid a nice premium to get to Hell's Casino. It would be imprudent of me to take someone on for any less. ”. You see the other sailors looking on and seeing how this turns out.

Sinak walks over hunched over with his bucket and mop, saying to Captain Thread, “I’m headed there about a job. Somebody has to clean the Casino and I heard that it was a good place to earn tips. I could swab the deck of your boat, clean on the passage there. Would that work for passage, good sir?” Sinak gives a crumpled half bow and looks up at him with a weak smile.

"Ah, I'm sure that all my friends would be willing to pitch in, and this guy." Falkas pats his shoulder, "why you've never seen a cleaner ship when he is on board, I guarantee you that." He glances behind him to make sure no one is surrounding him and he sees Sorith so her jerks his head to indicate she could join him.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The fairy archer will descend, hovering low over one of the riverboats (OOC from the crew description, I assume these are larger than simple rowboats. Is there more than one deck? Covered rooms?). If she still detects no one on board, she will land on the deck and have a look around.

Do you head into the Inn, try to steal a boat or something else?

While the others are in the Inn, Chrys will fly over the boats and do surveillance. (What time of day is it? Does she see anyone guarding the boats?)

Stealth 18
Chrys doesn’t see any guards on the boats, docks or outside the Inn. The boats look like they have been attached to the docks using ropes.
