(I'm assuming "dim light" means "disadvantage" so Per 19 (23 w/o Disad))

"Uh, three rooms?"

 Ember says, looking at the other's for confirmation.

"Three rooms? Are you sure you don't want five, one for each of you?" The bartender presses. Keep in mind, you also have to room Demetrius, of course, your expenses will be reimbursed by the Council. So money isn't an issue.

Ember, you notice something strange about the bartender's eyes. They seem to almost glow. But then again, it could just be the fire glowing in the hearth.

"Well, I figured at least Emilia and I could double up.  Girl talk and all.  The guys can figure it out.  Say, where are your bathrooms?  It's been a while since I've gone.  Anyone else?"

(does the glow resemble the beast eyes?)

the bartender looks disappointed "Four rooms then? That will be...20 gold." Demetrius looks at the man funny, but nevertheless takes out a coin purse and gives the man his money. The bartender smiles "Thank you for your patronage. Your rooms will be the first four on the left upstairs. And each room has a chamber pot." The man turns away, muttering something with a grin on his face, counting the coins hungrily. 

The man's eyes, in fact, do look kind of like the beasts eyes, with a purple tint and being slightly dilated. Of course, if you tried to cause something, there is a room full of drunk patrons behind you, who, if you had to guess, don't take kindly to magic, especially when it is used to harm the person supplying their drinks.

The man goes back to serving more of the foul-smelling alcohol to patrons, though Ember does catch him watching you out of the side of his eye a few times. 

You still have a few hours left in the day, What do you want to do?

Beshlog lays down, more than happy to get some rest.

"Hey, don't you nature folks know how to make water out of nothing?" he asks Artan. "That might be a really useful trick, considering the circumstances at hand."

"Lets put our stuff away, & come back for dinner"  Ember says to the group, not shouting, but loudly enough for anyone paying close attention to make it out.

When they're upstairs, hopefully given some semblance of privacy by the distance and the noise of the crowd, she Whispers to the group, hopefully unheard by anyone else.

"Act naturally, look forward, not like you're listening.  Barkeep has red eyes like the beasts.  I'm casting "detect invisible" in the room.  Somebody with "detect evil", cast it.  They should last long enough to give us a clue what's happening without being obvious.  Leave nothing you want to lose."

In the room she answers any questions Emilia might have  ( "I don't want to let on that we suspect.") & changes to clean clothes unless Emelia objects over privacy.  Takes anything valuable from her backpack (makeup, spell focus, money, spell components) and puts them in pockets, underwear, boots, wherever they fit comfortably & securely.  Looks in her makeup mirror to see if her eyes are red, maybe it's a side effect of the plant slime, or beast drool, or green rain.  Takes rations & anything moderately valuable out & puts them under the mattress or covers (whichever is less gross), leaving minimal stuff in the backpack to steal.  They take turns with the chamberpot if needed.  Then waits for Emilia to do what she wants (clothes, etc), Casts "Detect Invisible" & leaves the room.  

If, of course, we're given that much time before something happens. 

Ember completes all these things. What is the parties reaction to her behavior?

To Beshlog: "We can yes. Though I am unable to today. It wasn't something I asked the stars to guide me with last night, but I will make sure I can help with that in the morning" 

To Ember/anyone else around our of earshot "That could explain why they were pushing for a room each. Split us up for easy pickings overnight" Artan will go and check on the man they brought through, preferably not alone.

Artan goes into the drunk mans room, but the man is gone. There is no sign of a struggle, though the bed sheets are slightly rumpled

Apologies, everyone! Been busy this past week!

Emilia, of course, doesn't object to much of anything Ember does. She has no place to, after all. She's remained quiet for the good bit of searching they've been doing, but clears her throat after a little bit. She does a quick inspection of the room to see if anything is out of the ordinary. Nothing odd. After doing such, she closes the door, changes into a fresh robe, and opens the door again. All fresh, thank goodness. She does a small bow to Ember. "Thank you for giving me privacy." She regroups with the others, fixing up her hair whilst doing so.

"Ahem. One room each, if I'm correct?" Emilia has plans to pray once the group is all relaxed and nighttime is at hand, but for the moment she clasps her hands together. "As Ember said, that would work. Makes enough sense to me."

(OOC: Does Emilia request her own room when Ember tells the innkeeper the girls will share a room?)

Ember looks over the balcony from the upstairs to the dining room but doesn't expect to see invisible things so she doesn't spend much time on that.  She then searches her room for secret doors, hoping detect invisible helps detect concealed things as well.  

24 perception, 19 investigation, whichever is appropriate

(( She can go down and request one, if need be. ))

Beshlog is kind of planning to just sleep right now.

"Rascal, if you don't mind, go ahead and take first watch... wake me up if anything wants to murder us," he tells the cute little rabbi-squirrel thing. "I'm in desperate need of a nap right now..."

Ember, you notice that the bed in your room looks strange. It is simply a straw mattress on the floor, but there seems to be a crack around the edge of the mattress on the floor. As if the exact space under the door is a trapdoor

Emilia can request a seperate room, and the bartender looks delighted. Using Demetrius's money, you pay for it. As you start to walk back upstairs, a cloaked figure whispers to you from a table in the corner "psst...you, priest, come here"

Rascal nods at Beshlog's request, then keeps watch. Beshlog starts to drift off to sleep, man, that alchohol made him pretty tired. Beshlog yawns, and is about to fall asleep, when he sees Rascal hop down from the bed. Make a Con Save 

Artan will take a closer look around the injured mans room, hoping for a sign that the man left by himself, though partly expecting a sign of the opposite. Investigation: 13 (he also casts detect magic while looking in case it played a part)

Con save: 23 (rolled in game log)

Beshlog manages to stay awake for a few more seconds, though it feels as if he can't move. He watches Rascall climb up the wall, into a hidden nook in the ceiling. With a maniacal giggle, Rascall pulls a lever in the nook, and the floor opens beneath Beshlog, and he falls down into the darkness. The floor above him goes back to its original form, as a cleaning maid goes up to his room, trying to remain inconspicous (anyone in the hallway can make a DC 10 Perception check to notice her.) as she lays out a new straw mattress in Beshlog's room, which looks exactly the same as before he went in there.

Artan notices no magic with his spell, but, the man was only here a few minutes, so he couldn't have walked away. And why is there mud on the floor in the shape of little paws? Artan turns, and is accosted by something small, which latches onto his face

Attack: 23 to hit, 7 damage and you must make a DC 15 Dex Save or be blinded for 1 round as the furry thing latches onto his face.

Is Artan able to track the paw prints (or even identify them as Rascal/same type of creature?) Survival check: 15  Nevermind, refreshed and got the edit. Artan is blind for one round (Dex save 10)

"You little traitor..." Beshlog growls. He makes a mental note to strangle the little bastard at the first opportunity.

Um... what can I currently do/where am I?

Emilia stops once she hears the voice, turning and raising her brow. Keeping her hands folded as gently as possible, her face... somewhat matches this. Calm and neutral but with a tinge of suspicion. Who in the world is this... "And who are you?"
