Misha nodded sagely, liking the idea.

When the raven swoops over and picks up the cloak... nothing happens. The raven pecks the clothing and tosses it around but still, nothing happens.

Marla pokes her head in the door to check if the magic is still active..?

Misha raises her shield up an inch more.

the very faint glow is still there.

(ooc: sorry jorah, I missed your post before which is why I didnt respond. it was a good post, not sure how I missed it)

When the kobold asks the three of then about a job the thin man just shakes his head no while his assistant just continues to record the words spoken with her quill. The halfling lets out a hardy laugh."I don't know that I need anything done that you can help with exactly. what I really need is a vacation. I got nine kids at home and work some pretty long hours to keep em feed." He says with a tired smile. "Do ya know how hard it is to find somone willing to watch nine kids for an evening. I know the misses would like a night out as well but I don't see that happening anytime soon." The hairy halfling says with a sigh before looking to the ground and then back to the kobold. "You wouldnt have to pay it all down up front. We could get started with a down payment and the rest would be due when the work is done."

Marla asks Shade to move the clothes away from the rest of her stuff, then she carefully checks to make sure there’s nothing else untoward in her belongings. Assuming not, she’ll pack up the rest of her belongings, and leave those particular clothes behind, along with a simple note.

‘Debts are becoming due. I advise you not to incur further...’

She then lets the landlord know she won’t need the room beyond the currently paid for time. Before she leaves, she’ll re-cast Disguise Self.

Shade will keep a watch on her room from outside the window...

Jen finishes reading and signs her name down. "Hypothetically speaking, how much would you and the missus be willing to pay for us to babysit your children?"

Marla and Misha leave and head back towards Trollskull Manor. The streets are busy at many of the citizens of waterdeep go about their work day while others are just out enjoying the sunny spring day.

Broxley looks up to Jen with a look of surprise. "Well... uhh... seeing as I have so many kids... and our 15th anniversary is coming up....  soon so and if I WAS able to take the misses out for the evening, She would probably enjoy that more than any gift.." The halfling says to himself as he rubs his bushy sideburns. "Which means I wouldn't have to spend quite as much on a gift..." The halfing chews on his bottom lip as he mauls over a coin amount in his head. "I Think I'd be willing to pay one hundred gold pieces for the evening. That means feeding my kids and keeping them entertained before giving them their baths and putting them in bed. That also means keeping them from destroying the place while we're away. I would expect myself and the Misses to leave around five in the afternoon and return around midnight." The halfling says excitedly before he lets out a small sigh and deflates a bit. "but I doubt you're interested in a job like that."

Misha gets back into her business casual clothes and heads with Marla back to Trollskull.

"Actually, we'll take the job."

Flowers has dozed off in a patch of sunlight on the floor coming through one of the windows.

‘Thanks for coming with me, Misha. It meant a lot not to have to deal with that on my own.’ Marla says, during the walk back, all the while trying to determine some possible countermeasures for someone having some of her hair. (Arcana: 11)

When they’re back, she’ll bring everyone up to speed.

’Soo. If you’re all going to be sharing this manor with me, you need to know something, since you could be in danger. A few weeks back I did a reading for a traveling nobleman, Lord Guldaur, at one of the fancy inns in the Castle Ward. He was really intense, in that creepy way men sometimes are. Anyway, I ferreted out there was something about his wife, which is when he dialed up the creepy to 11, so I got out of there in a hurry.. He’s had people trying to track me down ever since - I had a nasty scene in an alleyway a couple weeks back, and now they managed to track me down to my lodgings. They put some form of spell on my clothes - I had to leave my favourite dress back there...’ her eyes harden at that ‘and I think they have some of my hair, so they may try to use it to track me down...’

She takes a deep breath after sharing all that, and waits for any responses.

"Well, if he comes here, we'll kill him and let the tribe eat his body or something. Also, we agreed to take on a babysitting job. Nine kids, seven hours for 100 gold."

"I would much rather keep an eye on Jorah's tribe than a pack of younglings..." Flowers grumbles "but seeing we need the money for repairs to our new home....I will practice restraint with them."

Flowers cringes at the thought of younglings pulling his tail.

"You're welcome." Misha said to Marla as they headed back. She listened to her story and nodded, agreeing with What Jen had said. "Do not worry. You are sef weeth us. And, i'm sorry. Deed we agree to bebyseet children?" 

"Really?! Splendid! I'll head home and let the misses know before she starts fixing dinner." Broxley would say as he stands up to excuse himself. "I'll leave you all with the paperwork, Let us know your decision. The sooner we know the sooner we can get started on your repairs after all." The halfling says as he quickly scribbles down his address and leaves it on the table. "See you at 5pm sharp" He exclaims before racing out the door. Hammond shakes his head and slowly stands as well. "Yes, please make your decision quickly, As guild representatives our time is very important. The sooner you get some fresh stocks of ale.. the sooner you can make some coin and don't have to stoop to... child care." He says with a smug grin as he excuses himself and heads out the door as well. The young tiefling nods to you all and follows him out the door. 

OOC: By now it is around lunch time, you can all decide to explore the north ward a bit and visit the other shops, check out your competition, or hang around 

OOC2: Marla would know that since someone was going through her stuff.. they could use something as simple as a locate object to help them find you if they are close enough and thinking specifically about some of your gear or clothing. They may also be able to use your hair to aid them a locate creature or scrying. You think that MAYBE some sort of nondetection effect might help protect yourself from being tracked.

OOC: Jen would've agreed to join the guilds while she was agreeing to babysit the kids.

Marla looks much relieved ‘Thank you all. You have no idea what that means to me.’ she takes a deep breath ‘We’ve been on our own since my gran died. Just Shade and me...’

She looks at Jen quizzically ‘Babysitting?’

"Yes. 100 gold is 100 gold."
