Kail will go off to find the others and relay the info about the farms.

He's thinking perhaps they can set up an ambush at the Jefferson's farm to the south and see what they're dealing with.

Before joining the others, Sky will go look at the fancy inn, The Regal Rest. She’s looking for anyone who doesn’t seem to be paying much attention to themselves, and is well off. She’ll also case the inn for ways in and the patrols of any guards around.

Perception 7

Sky walks into a three story, white brick establishment.  Two guards stand outside at the entry.  On the inside it’s filled with fine dark oak wooden furniture accentuated by deep purple and gold tapestries, rug, and furnishings.  It’s sctually pretty empty inside.  There is a half orc behind the bar.  Well manicured beard and slicked back hair.  His two tusks protruding with gold.  There is a small corner booth seated with two gnomes.  Another human sitting at the bar with a goblet of red wine... three empty goblets sitting on the bar in front of him.  He is bald, clean shaven, wearing quite the expensive robes.  The bartender speaks up “how may I help you miss?”  Just pass the bar is a staircase going upstairs.

Sky looks uncomfortable when the bartender notices her, and she’ll sit down at the bar next to the bald man. “Just got into town, heard there were good drinks here. How about getting me and this gentleman a drink?” She’ll pat him on the shoulder trying to judge how drunk he is.

Investigation 20

Adoy is waiting for the others in the center of town by the big oak, where they had originally split up. While he waits he will search the area for any good rocks for his sling, as well as gathering a few acorns if there are any to be found at this time of year.

Nature: 15

Traxx is startled by the mans reaction, but then he composes himself "Kind Sir. You ask on who's authority I waltz in here with? Well that would be the Lady Mardune's authority as I am one of her emissaries sent here to investigate the loss of Noble property." Traxx puts his hanss up in a shrugging motion as he backs towards the door. " Now I will admit, I took it to far and for that I apologize. I'm a little guy so I get carried away." Traxx puts his hand on his chin "Hmmm just realized people do just pick me up and run sometimes..." Traxx shakes the thought away "Anyway yes, blow out your hands. I got carried away. No harm no foul." As Traxx gets to the door "But they will cut off your head if you have the ring or know of it. Just saying." Traxx hurriedly exits the establishment and runs up the street. He sits on a barrel and wipes the sweat off of his brow. "Damn it. I thought that would work. It does when Nizaren does it." Traxx hops off the barrel after catching his breath and kicks dust with his head down as he makes his way back to the big Oak tree.

Nizaren is headed towards the oak and hears Traxx he speaks in a quieter voice to Traxx "Traxx Its usually better not to threaten any shopkeepers in general unless they try cheating you then u go all out break a toe or two .... He starts to ramble but stops himself .....uh nevermind just between u and me Im not to good myself but it's not a great idea here to try here with the guard patrols and such"

Sky -  “why hello!  Listen to the smart lady, Jasper.”  The man seems to be pretty lit, but the half orc who you can assume now is Jasper.  “Listen Torrence, just because this is a fancy place doesn’t mean we won’t toss you out on yer ass... again.”  He looks to you.  “Anything in particular or just the House special?”you it’s hard to say how drunk he is.  He appears very drunk but also the closeness with the bartender makes it seem that this might be his normal self.

Traxx - you hear a “Why you little!” Before the door closes behind you.  You get the feeling that it might be best not to go back in.  Especially alone.

Adoy - the shade is nice under the tree, all normal looking rocks.  Acorns?  Sooooo much.

everyone but Sky is meeting up under the tree at this moment.

Traxx looks up at Nizaren "I was just trying to help the Lady. I don't like him. He was mean. He's lucky I didn't melt him like the last town. But Sky would be mad at me again. Sky is scary when she is mad." Traxx stops walking and grabs Nizarens arm. "You wont tell her will you? She told me to be good. I only used one spell and I didnt even hurt him."

Nizaren gives a soft smile "I understand it'll be our secret. So did u find anything on the way here while I fixed up my rapiers? "

Adoy finds 8, nice round stone for his sling and puts it in a small pouch he keeps hidden amongst his furs, along with 10 acorns. Then looks up to see Traxx and Nizaren approaching. "Find out anything useful? I dont think the herbalist knows anything."

Sol will go to the tree and say  "No dice with the smithy. Got a job with him though. Nice little courier gig."

Kail will  relay the info about the farms.

He's thinking perhaps they can set up an ambush at the Jefferson's farm to the south and see what they're dealing with.

Nizaren "nothing much but got some rope and torches if we plan on going splunking or kobold hunting"

"The tinkerer's shop was a bust." Traxx says "Nothing there useful." Traxx says looking at Nizaren. "Ambush sounds as good of a plan as any.. I'm in." He replies to Kail

“Whatever you recommend, Jasper was it? I was wondering if you knew of this ring Lady Mardune lost. No offense to the Lady of this town, but one ring doesn’t seem like that big of a deal to her. Why was this one so important?” Sky looks curiously at him, waiting for his response.

“Yeah, I’ve seen a couple of posters falling for a reward. Don’t know much about the ring.  They say she was always wearing in.  Sliver and Sapphire.  Fun thing rich people being careless enough to lose something like that.”  He takes out a bottle and pours into a cup and into one of the other mans goblet.  

While hes pouring the drinks Sky will look over the man to see what he has of value. Any rings or pockets that look full?

24 perception 

(In the interest of not stalling the whole campaign while giving time For Sky to do her thing.  I will begin pming her storyline and treat it as a flashback.)

for now:  the group hangs around a bit waiting for everyone to come back.  The group assembled under the oak tree.  You begin to head East towards the farmland.  You come across a weathered sign that has a pumpkin and the Jefferson’s name across it.  Walking through the fields you eventually come across a wooden hut connected by an awning to a large barn.  There are some goats in a pen, a chicken coop out back, and one ox tethered to a tree.  There is Dragonborn tending to the goats and an elderly female woman sitting on a rocker in front of the hut.  It’s about 4 pm and you have some time to talk or set up your possible ambush.  

"So, are we ambushing, or going the peaceful route? Because I'm not the most stealthy dwarf."
