(If it wasn't clear before, you cannot attack Twig, but you can attack the plant dogs. If Kit moves to attack Twig, you have to protect her. If you take damage, you can re-roll your wisdom save. DC 12 to snap out of it.)
Cassian laughs, "The hunt for the culprit who's been causing the disappearances of course... that is why you are here...right?"
Kalgren took a measured drink from his beverage before setting it down with meticulous intent. 'Funny thing that.' He said, slowly swirling around the remainder of the liquid in his mug. 'The brass is treating this as a missing persons case. No mention so far about a culprit, kidnappings, or worse.' He stared at the two armoured persons from under his eyebrows. 'So where do you get this culprit idea from?'
Since I still can't see the first initiative roll, I'm going to roll again with the correct (+3) bonus. If the other one comes through I assume we'll use that one (minus 1 for the incorrect bonus) instead.
Cassian laughs, "The hunt for the culprit who's been causing the disappearances of course... that is why you are here...right?"
"Oh but of course! Thing is... so many people missing... for that much time... I do think there is more involved that meets the eye. You should watch yourselves, and do no take for granted this is just mere culprit..." replies Thar with a honest tone.
Omen would curse under his breath before grabbing his hat off the bed and racing downstairs. He would slip the raven statuette back into the pocket of his coat before reaching the last step. "Hey! We got to go!" Omen would shout at Thar and Kalrgen. "I just saw something running on the rooftops towards where Kit and Amery were standing guard at the edge of the forest. Make sure you have your weapons!" He would shout as he quickly made his way out the door and began running in the direction of his companions.

Kalgren downed his drink and picked up his belongings. 'Sir, miss,' He nodded at the two table companions, 'I'm afraid we have to cut this short. Perhaps next time drinks shall be on me.'
He threw his coat on and ran out the door after the others. Whatever Omen said: it did not bode well.

Kit and Amery:

"To be honest, I just asked you that to see your reaction. The townsfolk seem completely sure that there in a person behind these disappearances. At least the vast majority of them do. However, they all have different ideas of who is responsible. I've discredited the majority of accusations." He laughs, "The other running theory is that this town is cursed." He smiles at Thar, "I appreciate the warning, but I am very aware of the risks. Heheh, Elenor over there is always reminding me of my fey heritage." He gestures to the woman, who stares harder into her plate of food.
At this moment, Omen rushes down the stairs shouting his warning. Cassian looks at him surprised, but doesn't have time to respond as the others jump to their feet. Even Elenor looks up when the group says their hurried goodbyes and rush towards the door. Just before you reach the door, you hear a scream coming from just outside...
Omen, Thar, and Kalgren:
As you exit the inn, you immediately spot the body of Zale hanging by her neck from the roof of the town hall. (Which is directly across from the Stonedog) Her limp form is illuminated by the pale moonlight as it sways gently in the midnight breeze. At first glance it looks as if someone hung her with a rope, however as the viewer focuses it becomes obvious that it is not rope, but dark thorny vines. The most unsettling part are the vines which have sprouted from her chest and mouth with bright red roses blooming from them. Red petals falling from them like blood from an open wound.
The woman who screamed stands there shaking. Lights start to glow through house windows, and villagers start filing out onto the street to see what has happened. Some of them are still in their night cloths. After a moment of stunned silence. Someone yells an accusation, and soon the entire crowed is arguing amongst themselves. Strangely. it seems like none of the villagers mention the vines or the roses. At this point, there is a relatively large crowd gathered directly outside of the Stonedog. More accusations are thrown around, soon shouting turns to brawling between the louder of the folks.

Kit curses under her breath in Elvish as regrets race through her mind...regret that she didn't listen to Omen, that she followed Avery when he chased after Twig, that she allowed Twig to run out into the night in the first place, and...underlining it all...the regret that she might not see Eila again.
She doesn't reach for her longsword, or even her bow. Instead, she grips her thelarr and begins to mutter an incantation...
(Kit casts Thunderwave at Level 2 on the dogs attacking her and, if possible, the one that has yet to attack. 11 damage and pushed back 10'. Con save DC 14 for half damage and not pushed back. Audible boom out to 300')
"Ilmater, please let Omen and Thar have heard that"
Omin would stop for a moment... his mouth open as he takes in the grisly scene... he would then quickly shout out "GET INSIDE! EVERYONE! IT ISN'T SAFE!" to the angry crowd before continuing to race off in the direction of the figure that was scaling the roof tops!
'What in the Nine Hells...' Kalgren muttered half surprised and half shocked at the sight of the hanging person. Almost immediately he switched gears from laidback professional to stern professional.
'EVERYONE INSIDE NOW!'His voice carried over the crowd amplified by divine magic.* 'FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY GO INSIDE AND LOCK THE DOORS!'
He positioned himself underneath the swaying body. Cut her loose, Lulu. Kalgren steadied himself to catch the dead weight.
*A casting of Thaumaturgy Sprites have a longsword listed in their stat block, I assume that can also be used to cut through the rope?
Woops...forgot to mention this...
Kit and Amery:
Roll Initiative!
Amery:
(If it wasn't clear before, you cannot attack Twig, but you can attack the plant dogs. If Kit moves to attack Twig, you have to protect her. If you take damage, you can re-roll your wisdom save. DC 12 to snap out of it.)
Amery quickly takes out his pistol and moves to stand guard over Twig "Stay behind me Twig. I will protect you from this plant creatures."
Initiative
12
Initiative 19
(I need to check something out. DnDB is showing Kit's Initiative bonus as +4 but her Dex bonus is only +3 and she doesn't have any feats🤨)
I can't spot any reason why she would have an extra +1 to initiative, so subtract one from the roll above.
(Assuming dice rolls are ever "available for this section")

Without just an apologetic glance Thar picks up his weapon that he let resting on the table and runs after Omen.
"What it was?" he asks as they run.
PbP Character: A few ;)
"Looked like a figure in a trenchcoat and a hat... but it moved like those plant dogs do.." He replied looking back over his shoulder.
"This thing is getting weirder by the minute! Let's hurry and warn them!" replies Thar

Thar waves his weapon over his head and yells
"INSIDE!! NOW!" to emphasize Omin words.
He follow his companion hoping that the others are well.
