You don't have to do anything . I need to head to the market now. Thank you Lady Savra , I'll see you next time . * with that Arthur heads to sell 1 of his weapons *
After the transaction Arthur will head back to the manor , wash the troll off of him as well as his own blood from the fight by taking a bath , then put on his fine clothes as he is ready to go to the troll skull tavern to partake in handing out sweets to the kids & get ready for the big day of diner style business
Outdoor dining above and below are packed as well as inside. Peerson(existing hire)and Rumbold(dwarf cook) are back in the new kitchen cooking up a storm.Fern(half-orc) and Gertrude(dwarf) are arguing over who is bartending correctly and who isn't, before they both head out with a tray full of drinks to deliver to various tables. Ella(Human) is busy taking orders and delivering food. Tahnee is running circles around a pair of halflings named Dasher and Danika as all three bus tables and clean.
*Arthur is watching how busy everything is , and is grinning ear from ear * every now and then Arthur will go up to a customer and ask if they are enjoying themselves or the such .
Mr Russell comes into the Tavern looking around frantically. He notices Arthur and hurries to his side.
"Lord Darkeyes, we just had a special request come down the Head Office." He pulls out a piece of paper and read off it.
""Uza Solizeph is an old woman who sells books out of a narrow three-story building on Sorn Street in the Trades Ward. She claims to have trapped a monster in her shop and fears for the welfare of her books and cat. The Watch isn't likely to lend a hand as Uza has a nasty habit of exagerrating... but an unnamed source at Head Office owes her. She's sobbing at Felzoun's Folly, a tavern on Sorn and Salabar. Please tend to her as quick as you can."
Mr. Russell I'll armour up and be there at once. * Leans in to whisper in Mr Russell's ear * watch the 2 working at the bar every now and then, make sure they don't get too loud with their bartender debates* ooc: arthur is not looking their way .
Once Arthur is armoured up and grabs his maul he heads to Felzoun's Follyto find Uza
Felzoun's Folly is a 3 story tavern with elaborate stained glass windows all the way across it's face. Inside the crowded tavern, Arthur notices only one table with a single occupant. A middle aged human Mulan female sits sobbing by herself, refilling her glass from a bottle of Neverwinter Nectar.
"A monstrous orb of many eyes has chased my cat, Fillipa, into the shop! I... I locked them both in and ran away, but I just can't bear the guilt if she gets hurt... will you save my kitty, please? "
* Arthur takes the keys, walks to the curiosity & satisfaction, unlocks the door , uses his lay on hands to heal up full as possible, and steps into the building
It's rather cramped as all three stories are really just one tall room arranged like a tower. There is a small desk by the front entrance that Uza uses to check out customers, and a door in the back for emergencies. It is Dim Light in here as dusk has approached and a little light pours in from the street. Arthur hears a soft "meow" from the back of the store.
Arthur moves towards the meow with caution , hammer at the ready , but hoping it's the kitty . If it gets dark Arhtur may have to use his smite for light
On your turn, the hairs on the back of your neck bristle. You may now take Reactions.
On the enemy turn, a hovering grapefruit sized mass full of teeth and eyes peeks around the corner of a bookcase at you and "meows" sounding exactly like a cat.
It points 2 of it's "eye stalks" and releases a magic ray from each of them.
A Wisdom Saving throw for the first one, and a Strength Saving throw for the second one.

*Arthur walks up to her* " Excuse me, by chance would you be Uza Solizeph?"
"Yes, I am! Did they send you to help me?"
Yes they did. I must ask, what have you got?
"A monstrous orb of many eyes has chased my cat, Fillipa, into the shop! I... I locked them both in and ran away, but I just can't bear the guilt if she gets hurt... will you save my kitty, please? "
Yes I will. Take me to the location please Uza . Uza, what is a orb of many eyes ? OOC: I'm certain Arthur wouldn't know
"Please, it's the Curiosity and Satisfaction across the street. Here are the keys to the doors. I'm too scared to go over there."
"Whatever it was had a bunch of eyes, size of a grapefruit, huge mouth full of teeth, hovering in the air. Oh, poor Fillipa!"
* Arthur takes the keys, walks to the curiosity & satisfaction, unlocks the door , uses his lay on hands to heal up full as possible, and steps into the building

When you get to this point, you can see the back door. But you are also ambushed by the enemy...
