When Smithy came down for breakfast, Adrian just nods at him and heads back upstairs to the common room. He dons the uniform and then casts disguise self to become a Tiefling.
He starts humming a song loud enough to wake the others.
Exa grunts upon being woken, mumbling something mostly unintelligible save for something about "few more minutes". But begrudgingly she eventually hauls herself from her bed, very briefly fixes her whiskers that have been bent askew by her heavy sleep, and then hides them anyway with the days' tiefling disguise.
"I'm up. I'm ready," she says, trying to convince herself as much as anyone else.
Just enough time to eat breakfast, then we'll go together back to the Casino. What time does Mavilius need to be there? Adrian smiles as Exa rubs her eyes.
The bard's eyes creak open reluctantly as Adrian's humming manages to wake him. He's never been a morning person, but tries to focus on his excitement for the heist ahead.
"10 bells," he answers as he takes his seat at the table, nibbling at a sweet roll.
The young dark-haired lady soon joins the others at the breakfast table, enjoing a sweet roll as she looks around at the others with a small smile, excitement in her dark eyes over the heist soon being executed, nodding and getting uo as she is finished, ready to go back up to change into her tiefling form.
I'll take Exa with me, we'll time the doping of the security guards to Mavilius performance, and put them in the small gaol in the office, before we tackle Quentin. He picked up the two bags of holding. He opened the partys bag and inserted Veritys into it. So we are set on asking the Dao for gems?
The young dark-haired lady simply nods in agreement with her companions. She wasn't particularly ineterested in gems, or any material wealth for that matter as long as she could live a good life, but she had no better suggestions that she believed could be procured from these Dao.
Come on then Exa let's go. He slings the bag of holding to his back, makes sure that Exa has finished her quick breakfast, and then makes his way back to the Casino.
Until they are ready for it he slides the bag of holding next to his feet as he watches the mirrors in the security room. Smithy seems to be in a good mood.
Adrian watches the candlemark and as it reaches 9 and a half bells, he stands up and offers to get the drinks. Smithy smiles and pats him on the back, find us something worth drinking. He says.
Aye Adrian replies.
He turns right as he leaves the room and in passing sees Quentin busy at his desk.
He leaves the employees only area and motions towards Exa to join him as he snags a tray of ale from one of the waitresses, much better than the small beer in the rest room. He gestures back to the employees area using the entrance at the top by the bar so they won't come under the eye of Quentin.
Exa follows Adrian's directions promptly. She may be a late sleeper and a playful joker at the inn, but when it comes time to work, Exa is as professional as they come. She subtly pats her pockets beneath her magical disguise to ensure she has everything she needs.
When she meets Adrian out of the watchful eye of the security mirrors, she gives him a nod.
They duck back into the employees area. Adrian gives Exa the tray and fishes a potion out of his pocket. He carefully pours a cap full into each tankard, leaving his tankard clear.
They make their way to the security room and Adrian opens the door, snagging his own drink away from the others. Rubi was on break so I got her help. It's real ale not the watered down stuff. He takes a large swig and burps yeast.
The others call out to Rubi to bring the drinks to them.
(The security guards fail their con save.) Smithy falls to the floor as if poleaxed, his tankard bounces nearly empty. The others finish their ale and slide down the seats to the floor.
Adrian snatches the gaol keys and opens up all four, he gestures to Exa to help him drag the bodies into a cell of their own. Then he quickly shuts the jail door before anyone recovers. He put the keys in a draw out of sight.
Here Exa take this, its Veritys bag of holding, I'll take ours until we get Lilith.
He pulls a dagger from its sheath with a heavy pommel. Keep your fingers crossed, I've never released an elemental before. He moves to the largest mirror and takes his pommel to it.
The mirror shatters and fine golden dust falls to the floor. He does the same for the other mirrors.
The dust swirls around in a whirlwind and creatures emerge, encircling the two of them.
Adrian calls to them, I'm here to free you
The largest of the creatures who'd been in the mirrors of Cania. Name you price we will not be indebted to you.
Adrian held out the bag of holding and says Add a pouch of gems to the bag for each of you then we are equal.
The creatures lift the necklaces from around their neck and drop them into the bag. Now we are done.This place was our prison. We will be avenged. The elementals phase through the walls leaving the two of you alone.

Adrian to Exa
Just enough time to eat breakfast, then we'll go together back to the Casino. What time does Mavilius need to be there? Adrian smiles as Exa rubs her eyes.
Mavilius

Exa
Exa shrugs. "Seems as good an idea as any. I've never met a dao before so I don't know what else they might have."
Mavilius
"Hm, I would love to ask him to bury those pesky Zhents," Mavilius says with a thoughtful frown, "But gems are...well, gems." His eyes sparkle.

The tiefling leaves for the casino as well after finishing his drink.
Exa
'Rubi' happily obliges, sliding between each of the security staff to ensure they each take a drink.
"Just poured so it's chilled to perfection," she says with a grin. She tries not to watch them all too closely as they start to drink.
