Navek lets out a hearty, eye-watering laughter. "She -- not he. Though by how much she tends to cover and can be a bit aggressive about things, I wouldn't blame you if you saw her and didn't know." He gives a melancholy smile. "Assuming she doesn't immediately try to melt me on sight? I'd probably wrap her in a big hug and give her kiss on the cheek, you know, for old times sakes. After, well... That would be up to how deeply involved with things. She is-" Navek trails off at that point noticing the state of the approaching Inn.

"My, oh, my! He was not kidding when he said this place would be like fortress. Wouldn't surprise me at this point if this Mr. Leadbelly even installed a few traps or two. Be a shame to try and smash anything down. But this where you come in, eh Thimbol?" He yawns and smacks his lips. "Think I'll sit down for a bit while the rest of you fiddle with things. Let me know when you find way inside, eh?" As he moves to pop a squat a few feet from the front door with his back against the house. 

(hoping once the rest of the team shows up at the inn you guys can start trying to get in there....)

"My apologies." Thimbol offers, "She..." Correcting himself as he listens to the rest of what Navek says while they continue forward to the Inn. It was big indeed, impressive the halfling thought and more space than he needed as he approached the front door to examine what one would think was the easiest approach. "It would surprise me! Damn Innkeepers and their lack of trust." Shuffling through his bag until retrieving a set of tools. "But now you got me all worried, Mr Leadbelly was too clever for his own good." Pulling out a mirror on a piece of metal and putting it through the mail slot. "Unless Mo finds a way."

Thieves Tools: 9 (Proficient.)

The mail slot is to the right of the main door, under the window. Using his mirror, Thimbol is able to see what appears to be a stack of letters on top of a small ornate office desk.

As Thimbol approaches the front door, he spots the heavy lock built into the door itself, allowing it to be locked from both the inside and outside. The key hole is quite large and easy for Thimbol to access at first. As he spends a little time working on the lock, he nearly breaks his lock-pick trying to rotate the large iron bolt needed to get the door open. After a little straining, he finally hears the satisfying heavy "thunk" as the door unlocks. 

(it was DC 15 so it was close lol, also good you guys don't have to break your own window to get in :D)

(I would say it would be best to wait to go in until everyone is ready.)

“Not much to see inside. Abandoned and all. I’ll try the front door.” Putting the mirror away and grabbing the set of lock picks to start working on the front door. It’s not often he does this with an audience, but surprisingly the pressure doesn’t get to him. *thunk* “Alright, we’re in! Well, we can go in. Where’s the others? Who’s going in first...”

(On phone.)

Lorarila grumbled and goes red at the hair ruffle and kicks at Navek shin but immediately regrets kicking the Goliath. She grumbles and bites her lip to keep from saying anything, especially ouch. Before leaving, she gives the Mayor two gold coins. "Please have a pot of warm food, two chairs and a table at the jail. I will go to the Lizardfolk after seeing our new home, I will seek to persuade him. It may help us immensely if we can make him a turncoat. Thank you, I know this is a annoyance but it will be appreciated. I also loved your hat, it was very dashing." Following the others to the inn to inspect, she listens to the others making notes of their history. As they reach the inn, she focuses inspecting it. "This place could be a fortress with only a little work, that door is amazing if a bit heavy for me. Good thing I have two big men to help me when I need it." Looking at the Goliaths and grinning at them. Waiting as the small Thimbol to inspect the door, Lorarila looks at the place happy to see her new home. "It was a inn wasn't it? It shouldn't be trapped in most rooms, probably only Leadbelly's personal room or office. Now, I want to see if he left any good aged booze. We can celebrate our meeting if there is a keg or some bottles around."

"Yes! We have done it! Another great victory for our new team! The BSers will tremble at our mighty unlocking ability!" and Mo walks right in to look around.

"Did anyone else think to get the keys from the Mayor," Sayre asks the party looking around then back towards the Mayor's office as the halfling struggles with the lock.

Once he's unlocked the door Sayre will enter!

OOC: Sorry I was busy today guys. Lecturing to 100+ people with the Dean of the college and your other boss is no me gusta!

"From the sounds of it, the Mayor didn't have a key." He says to Sayre. Then to Lorila he says, "Good point. But, if Leadbelly was a Kobold however." Navek trails off into another chuckle as he rose to join the others inside the house. Wishing to wreck the place should something pop out however, the maul stayed firmly strapped to his back. 

"Hey now. No splitting the credit on that one. That was our Mr. Thimbol here." He gives the halfling a thumbs-up. "Good work! Now let me and Mo here lead the way." Navek adds as he strode forward to catch-up with the other goliath. 

Lorarila - As you offer the mayor some gold he turns it down, telling you that he will take care of the prisoner and instruct Payne to take the neccessary measures you requested. When you offer condolences for his hat... he will wipe away a single tear and turn away... telling you it was OK... and that he didn't like it that much anyway.. trying to keep a brave face.

HQ - FIRST FLOOR

Alright, above is the layout for the first floor of the LeadBelly's beer and beds

As the doors swing open and you each step inside, it appears to be a silk winter wonderland. Tornadoes of white shimmering web seem to open up wide and disappear in different directions. One large funnel heads up the staircase directly to the left of the entrence up the stairs, one disappears up the empty fireplace at the end of the common area, and the third disappears down into the basement behind the bar. Each of the large carpets of webs are dotted with rat corpses. Tremors from your feet send shivers through the web ad you step inside, causing 3 giant spider to emerge, one from each web funnels.

Roll initiative please

Spider 1 (Coming from upstairs to the left) 22
Spider 2 (Coming out of the chimney in back) 18
Spider 3 (Coming out of basement door behind the bar) 10

(I love it!)

(thanks, it is my first time making a map. I will go on to describe the room better once you can really see it AKA: not covered in webs. I plan to do combat like normal but if you want to describe your characters moving around on the grid you can. you will only get these on rare occasions when it js a big deal or a place you will see a lot. lol, don't get used to it :p)
