This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Jorah is to busy to speak with Volo anymore, as he occupies his time in the background as he runs around, grabbing broken furniture and bringing it down to the basement before popping back up to look for more broken wood, decaying sheets, or other things he can use to make a makeshift nest. After a few minutes of this while the party talks with Volo, the main floor will be relatively cleaned out of rubble and Jorah will begin looking for other places to take trash from.
‘I keep seeing *something* disturbing the weave, but I can’t get a good fix. I think the inn might be haunted, or something similar. Did you hear any rumours of that, Volo?’
Marla, at this point, will very much have Shade keeping an eye out for anything untoward...
"Actually yes Marla. There were rumors that the place was haunted. It was why I had bought it actually... you see I'm working on a new book.. Spector's and spirits... and hoped to study a ghost for my book." Volo would reply with a smile. "No one has ever really SEEN an ghosts in here however. It was always just rumors. finding an actual ghost can he quite hard when you are trying to do so."
She raises an eyebrow 'You might have mentioned that unprompted, Volo.' she gives him a stern look. 'Is there anything else we need to know? A history of murders? Disputed ownership? Stories of unfound treasure that might have every sneak thief in the city visiting us...?' she's only half-joking when she asks...
"The building is quite old. I know it has been a tavern for a long time and even changed hands on more than a few occasions. It heard it was even an orphanage at one point but I don't know anything about that." Volo says as he taps his chin
Jorah is happy, and anyone who comes to find him down in the basement would see that he has turned the barrel and mattress into a throne/bed atop much of the trash/rubble he collected.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Marla sighs. ‘We’ll have to see what crops up I guess. I’ll ask the locals to see what I can learn about the history of the house.’
Following the discussion with Volo, she’ll go up to her room, and will use Prestidigitation to clean it thoroughly, checking as she does for anything hidden by previous occupants. (Including the tower room).
Misha pulled Alexa and Jen aside, close. Her hair smelled faintly of strawberry.
"I em very heppy for you all that you now hef a.."she looked around at the state of the manor, "..place to leef."she said confidentially. "I might be able to, depending on what you want to do, ya, ask my parents to see eef they would want to eenvest in the repair of the manor."
"I hef zeh feeling that they would become eenvestors, eef you weel, ya? Money upfront, a leetle profeet later. They are beeznuss minded peeple, efter all, eh?"
She throws her head back in a loud boisterous laugh.
"Well I think I'll try to schedule a meeting to get the property signed over to you then" Volo would say as you all begin to investigate the old tavern. "I'll let you know if your presence is required. Feel free to let me know if you need any help with securing any contracts with the various guilds here in the city as well. I know quite a bit about waterdeep after all so don't be afraid to ask for my assistance." The old man would say wit a nod as he prepares to leave.
As Marla investigates the tower she finds an old dusty crate full of torn children's clothes along with an old childs doll that is missing an eye.
Marla will leave the crate alone for now, until she can study it properly, and knows more of the house’s history..
’Well, I still have lodgings, so I’ll be better off sleeping there tonight, and then bringing my belongings over tomorrow. Shall we reconvene here tomorrow morning? My floor is still available if you need somewhere, Jen, or will you stay here? I think your room should be clean enough at least.’
(Is Misha going to tell the rest of us about the possibility of her parents investing?)
Jorah will wait till the group got back together to hop onto the counter and state, "Willz call Tribe. Jorah'z tribe, good workerz, can helpz clean and will live in basement. Tribe likz dark, makez escape tunnelz for new territory. Yez." Once he gets a few people's okay, he will nod towards Alexa, before scampering out the door with his hood pulled back up.
‘I’ll send Shade back to keep you company when I get to my lodgings, Jen. She’ll come and get me if anything weird happens in the night. Otherwise I’ll see you back here in the morning and we can make some plans.’ suddenly she smacks herself on the forehead ‘We also need to see the watch, and let them know what we saw in the sewers...’
Flowers come back down the stairs and inside the common room covered in spiderwebs, in his fur, between his ears, wrapped around the head of his maul but he has a big smile on his face.
"I cleared out the attic for myself, if anyone needs help with their rooms let me know."

Flowers will leave the smart people to deal with Volo, and wander upstairs to investigate more.

Jorah finds a large broken keg of ale and a torn up old mattress that ge thinks he could use to make a cozy nest maybe

She’ll then help the others with any cleaning...

Alexa glances at Jen. "That doesn't sound like the worst idea. We could check with the others, see what they think about it."

Yes, but she wanted to make sure that the idea wasn't completely stupid before she announced it.
