Toc ensures his horse is well away in the stables and managed, along with the others, and then head up to his room to drop his traveling bags off before heading back downstairs to the others, seeing them well into their drinks. He gets an ale at the bar and heads over to sit down, "I'm glad to see everyone socializing. Leosin, what news? We've seen a few odd things on the way here and in town, so we're curious if you've seen or heard news from the locals."

Germain, Toc, and Naroth...
Leosin shrugs. "Nothing out of the ordinary as far as I am aware." He glances to the big man next to him. "This is Ontharr Frume, A friend and member of the Order of the Gauntlet." The monk introduces the man. "Ontharr, have you heard of anything strange or new around the city?"
"Nothing much." The big man says with a shrug, wiping ale from his beard. "A wyvern has been bothering travelers on the roads nearby, and some wine merchant has hired up a bunch of mercs to help guard against robbery attempts." He nods to the monk. "Your news is far more concerning, those Dragon Cult raids out in the Greenfield, is much more worrisome than anything here in the city."
Laughing with an ale in his hand, Naroth mentions, "Wyvern dead, killed it - not good eating." Then Naroth looks around a to see who is paying attention. "Cult army gone, left dragon eggs in cave, we took."
Germain reaches into his pack and pulls out a wyvern tooth to prove it before slipping it quietly back into the bag. The comment about the mercs reminds him of the look of surprise Taviel had at the guards around her home, "Toc, did Taviel ever happen to mention what her family does?"
Toc shakes his head in response to Germain, "Not that I recall. But, I wouldn't be surprised to learn they're wine merchants. I suppose we'll find out in the morning."
He sits at the table with them, chatting about inconsequential things for a while and enjoying a table, a beer, and allies.
Eventually though, he lets out a bit of a sigh and says, "Well, glad to meet you Ontharr, and to see you well Leosin. But it's been a long journey, and a bath and a bed seem well deserved. Hopefully we will see you again and have a chance to socialize some more."
Getting up, gulping back his beer, he nods to everyone and heads off to seek a bath and then his bed.

Germain, Toc, and Naroth... (Before Toc would leave.)
After you have been at the table for a little bit you would spot Nodwick, Taviel's servant, walking in through the tavern's door. He glances around, then spots you at the table. Moving over he hands a note to Germain...
"There is something they wanted and this is in the house. Watch out! T."
Germain nods and leans in for a moment, "Tell her we got the message, if she figures out what it is, or wants us back, to let us know." He then turns and shows the note to the other two, "Perhaps we should help keep an eye out for her?"
Toc scratches strokes his chin thoughtfully. "Well, how tired are you both? If we want to we could stay up and keep an eye on the place tonight. Maybe camp on a roof nearby or something? Take turns watching? Let's at least go take one more look at the area before we decide."
Toc plans to head out of the bar, grabbing a few things from his bags upstairs, and scout out around Taviel's property, looking for potential places he could sit and watch the property from during the evening. The light above makes sneaking about a bit more challenging, but he'll use his Hawk, and his vision through his Hawk to check out some potential spots.

Nodwick nods to Germain, then his face goes blank, as you would be use to by this point, meaning he is speaking mind-to-mind with Taviel. Taviel gets a message.... 'They wish to know if you have any more information yet...'
They got the letter! First good news this evening. Taviel slowly dictated, first warning Nodwick to talk quietly and only with the group: "Green Dragon Mask. There were several attempts to steal it - first two months ago, last - ten days ago. The last party of robbers had a wizard with them in purple robes, a black dragonborn breathing acid. Mask is under the magical protection now. There are wizards among the guards too."
Toc nods to Nodwick. "I say we watch anyway. The likelihood of an attempt tonight is low, but with Taviel coming home it may have set off the enemies actions."

Germain nods, "Alternating watches might help. But I hadn't realized Nodwick's ability to commune with Taviel. Would you be willing to stay with us for the night, that way, if Taviel needs us, she can contact you instantly and then we can all race over to join her? That way we can get some rest, and as long as you sleep armed like I do, we can respond quickly to a threat. Though perhaps we should camp closer instead of staying at the inn?"
The idea for Nodwick to stay with the group was sound, Taviel agreed, "Be careful not to get mistaken for the robbers, though. Justice is swift in Elturel. I will signal if anything happens inside." Last thing Taviel did today is to set Nissa near father's cabinet - they could not contact telepathically, but Nissa would wake her up if someone tries to attack the place.
OK, tell me what you plan to do for your steaking out the place, and where you plan on staying if not at the tavern. Do you just rely on Nodwick, and skip the steakout, or are you still doing that?
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Toc will use his hawk to scout out potential locations where they might be able to stake out Taviel's property. If he sees anything promising, he'll look into it, otherwise they just stay at the Inn that evening with Nodwick to wake them in case there's an alarm at the property.
Hawk Perception : 14.
Though Toc will wander the streets under him, and look himself through the Hawk's eyes, since it's tough for a bird to know what a good location would look like :
Naroth? Skill challenge... Toc uses his hawk to find good places to steakout the mansion. It is rather difficult to find places close by, as the other mansions are large and finding places nearby is hard to do. Toc thinks he finds some good options though, in the neighbor across the street and a property one further down the road, also across the street. Germain, please give me a skill check, other than perception, that you use to guide Toc as he uses his hawk's senses. You may also pick a different action and skill combo, if you wish. Naroth, please give me an action and skill check related to that action. Please use something other than what Germain and Toc used. If you post before Germain, then Germain will have to do something other than what you and Toc used... We have one success already, 2 more and you pass, 3 failures and there will still be success, but potential issues involved...

(If the Inn is within 1 mile from Taviel's house, Nodwick has his telepathic connection with Taviel)
