Aseid nodded silently and continued his movement in the hope to localize a window.

As they walk, Maldorn asks Aseid: "Just in case we need it... are you skilled in breaking and entering?"

Aseid gave the question serious thought. "Depends on how do you define "breaking and entering". If it is something among the lines of "where do we want to have a door on this wall" - I think I can do it. But if you mean opening a lock without a key, I'm afraid this would be beyond my capabilities. Let's hope we would not need it."

"Hmm..." Maldorn thinks for a second. "With some luck, this window won't be locked, but it good to know you can place door on walls. That can be plan B."

"Well, that's lovely. Good to have a home. And a verrry goooood dooog!" Erric says, offering Munchy some scritches. "We are famished, and have had a long day already! Could we come in for some kip?"

I'll assume Jambiya is contemplating Munchy's response.

The humans march through the rubble that is the floor of the ruined temple toward the back of the Cadaver's Arms. There are two windows. Both are on the western half of the north wall of the building.

Geth smiles at Erric. "Of course! Head on in!"

Can Maldorn and Aseid peek into the windows, even from a distance, or are they tinted, or have curtains drawn over them?

Jambiya whispers to Munchy, "I'm going to try to help your person." Then she gives him a scritch and follows Erric in to the tavern.

Erric, do you go in?

From the ruin, you can't see through the glass because the windows are so dirty. Do you want to get closer?

Erric does, with aplomb!

Jambiya is on his heels.

Maldorn does indeed get closer. HE tries to do so in a covert way.

-> Stealth check: 18

Aseid follows pretending to just take a stroll and trying not to attract attention to Maldorn.

Erric and Jambiya, you move to the closest entrance and push through. The Cadaver's Arms is noisier with conversation now than it was the previous evening. At the three mismatched tables are 10 individuals — mostly humans, but a few other races sprinkled in — none of them do you recognize from the night before. At your height, its hard to see what exactly is in front of them, but the spoons rising and falling indicate it is a bowl of something. The same two female human workers are in the room: Mara and Tassel. The two are pretty busy, moving from table to table and over to the small bar where some kind of pot is steaming. They don't appear to notice you. (There are two empty chairs, but they aren't at the same table.)

Maldorn and Aseid, you move to the first window quietly. The glass itself is hard to see through, and you can see that there is some kind of curtain hung on the inside making it impossible to see into the room from the outside. You move to the second window. That curtain is open, and you look into what appears to be an empty guestroom. A small bed hugs one wall. A typical chest rests against another wall. The far door is closed.

Erric looks at Jambiya and whispers, "these people seem like they'd love some music, if I can start their toes tapping before those two try to stop me..."

He begins to walk around the tables, staying out of the way, tapping his feet, knocking at chairs, scuffing a heel, sweeping his hands along a table edge seemingly randomly, but there's a rhythm to it, which builds. Humming to himself softly at first, and then with more resonance. It takes minutes to get going, if the situation allows for it, but he attempts to be a one-person flash mob, ending up in a corner out of the way of the servers, and only at the end resorting to his lute to finish off a very catchy drinking song most would know the words to.

Performance: 8

He gives Mara and Tassel periodical looks in a silent plea for permission.

Persuasion: 14

Maldorn applies some force to the windows just to check if they are locked or can be opened. He makes sure to not apply enough force to open them, just to check if they can be opened.

Assuming they are locked, Maldorn walks back to Aseid and pulls him over to an unsuspecting spot away from the windows. He describes his findings and adds: "I bet the one with the curtain drawn is the gaming-room where the Fiddlesticks gnomes meet. The other window seems to belong to a guest room. Do you think we could rent it without raising suspicious after last night's events? We could try to eavesdrop from that guest room." He taps his foot on the ground a couple of times and offer another plan: "Or perhaps we just break the window. You said you were good at that, right?"

"As much as you are," nodded Aseid. "Maybe a bit faster in breaking. But it will be noisy, of course, and I suspect the innkeeper would object to our destruction of his property." 

"Do you happen to have a gemstone like a diamond or ruby, maybe? They can cut through the glass. Quietly. Or so I heard."

Jambiya watches as Erric settles himself and begins to play. She’s at a loss for what she should do. She stands to the side under the pretense of holding out for a table of four to open up, and surreptitiously watches the door to the back room. Does it seem like one could get close to it to get a better look without being noticed?

"No, I do not have such a gem." Maldorn pauses for a moment, considers lighting up his pipe, and then says: "Perhaps we call this our plan B. Let's go around and meet the others. Jambiya and Erric will know what to do."

Aseid nodded and followed Maldorn.
