The clinking of tankards and boisterous laughter filled the air. Ember sits hunched on the worn table, using an overturned cup as his perch, as he comes to a decision concerning Jackblack. He signals Reeda for another round of drinks as he straightens his posture and starts a discussion he had been internally mulling over for a time.
"See here, Mister Jackblack," Ember trying to sound serious and sober as he spoke in a low voice that nonetheless carried over the din. "You mentioned a job looking for a 'hot rock' that smashed through the roof of a building. Are you still interested in it whether it is etherium or not?"
The fairy starts digging into the bag hanging from his belt; his arm going much deeper than the bag's outer dimensions would account for. "I ask because we DID stop and investigate." Ember brings forth the finger sized slivers they first found around the crater and places them before Jackblack.
He waits for any reaction. Passive Insight: 14
"Let me tell the tale of how we came upon those and what followed..." Ember will then tell the story of their investigation; meeting the rats underground and all that followed up to their eventual 'escape' to travel here. As the story progresses, he will dive back into his bag of holding and bring out the two 'rat statue eyes' when the story got to that point. And again, what they all had assumed was 'the hot rock' the rat statue had been holding as it almost came to life.
"So, you can undestand, we are hoping these are what you were looking for. And further, also hoping it might be worth some coin for our time and efforts to bring it to you."
During the dancing and people moving about with food or drinks or just making conversation, Alexia, notices a young looking human man/boy trying to move around the sides in a stealthy manner. He has a blade in hand and keep looking at a grouping sitting at a far table.

Alexia looks closer at the group at the table. Who are they, and why might someone want to assassinate them?

Ember gives Jackblack a hard stare. "We 'think' the rock the rat statue was holding is the one from the crater. I have it if you want it... but I doubt you want it out here on the table. I mean, those slivers are fine but even those polished eyes are grabbing attention, if you know what I mean."
The fairy stretches his entire body like a cat; looking as if to fall off his cup 'chair' perch but keeping his balance as he recovers and stands with his fists on his hips. "If you don't mind, we can swap a few coins for those pieces and the big rock out at the wagon as we leave. I don't think my fellow travellers want to try to go back to Smoulderhome once the sun is down."
The small glowing rocks already attract attention but more like recognizing someone making a deal with Jackblack.
"I can pay you for those right now. If you have the large stone I mentioned earlier, I might have to gather some resources at Smoulderhome." He shrugs in a friendly manner, "I'm sorry you had to go through so much trouble to get it."
You get the feeling he is honest for the most part, he knew the job was dangerous.
He lays out 10 gold for each small rock.
Then he puts on a heavy gloves to pick up the rocks and put them in another pouch.
"Thanks for the business, " He smiles. "Be careful who you let hear about that big rock, I'll see you in Smoulderhome. Unless you want to unload it here - discreet like - and I can pay back there."
The Wiz completes his dance and, seeing some people had joined him, passes the torch and takes a seat. He is, after all, a willowy slip of a man, and his stamina runs out quick. He spots Ember talking with... some dude and he plops down in a heavily worn chair at the table. The chair groans in protest and shifts worryingly under its new burden. He lazily drops one arm onto the table to support his weight as he leans crookedly in his chair and smiles at Ember and the stranger. He nods to both respectfully.
Alexia's eye is still on the guy with the knife, and as such, she is paying no attention to Jackblack.

The table of ruffians are busy having a good time and don't notice the figure with the blade. The group is involved in a raucous drinking game and as one of them leans back to drink, the sneak strikes. His target appears to lean back too far and falls out of his chair, his friends laughing at his fate until they notice he doesn't get up.
The young human can be seen making his way towards the door.

The Wiz glances over and sees the exchange and does what he does best: make a mess. He sneezes loudly and an explosion of illuminated glitter covers the area, centered on the man who was stopped by Alexia.
OOC: Casting Faerie Fire, Dexterity Saving Throw of 15. That likely means most of us too, depending on where we all are. The Wiz will naturally intentionally fail the Saving Throw, because glowing is awesome.
Fakey Fire erupts and settles on half of the tavern Initially eliciting cries of alarm, but when no harm is done and the flames pulse with the music, the crowd lets out a loud cheer!
The party needs to make saves

He jerks to a halt near the door a look of surprise as to why he stopped. Then he glares at Alexia.
"Come on lady, what's your problem? I didn't do anything!"
He seems nervous and glances in the direction of his victim.
