"Wh-who is it? The store is closed now." Jestin is heard from behind the store entrance door. a23 and Lumen see the Zhentarim agent remove a dagger from his pack.
...
A bead of sweat rolls down Garton's forehead. "What in the...?" He recoils as the crowd around starts to roar. "Make some extra sales on the farm recently?" he says, before laying down 100 gold pieces with some hesitation.
Round 1: 44
R2: 43
R3: 41
Garton's expression of fear turns to glee as he wins 3/3 rounds. "100 gold pieces was it?" he asks, putting his hand out. "Get the kitchen fire burning, Ma!!!" The crowd inside the tavern goes crazy.
Errona awkwardly sits with the shady figures and says "So... You gonna buy the lady something more to drink? Maybe something to eat? What is wrong with the people of this town? I am sure you gents have some good stories to could impress an easy gal like me." She says with a wink showing an empty mug.
" We may want to make a move now before this turns more bloody. I don't want to think what he will do with that dagger." Lumen readies his shield and casts bless on the two of them. Revealing his glowing symbol. " Be ready to come in after me.
He then moves away from a23 and approaches. " Gentlemen I hope we are all having a good night. Would really be a shame if anyone got hurt."
One of the Zhentarim at the table smirks at Errona's suggestion, sliding a piece of paper in her direction.
...
Realizing that he has been followed, the agent seems to disappear from sight.
Jestin opens the shop door. "What is it?" he asks confused. "There's no one here?" He steps out a bit, before looking in Lumen's direction. "Oh. Were you knocking on my door?"
Errona unfolds the piece of paper. Her eyes drift downwards across the table, slowly tracing a crack in the wooden table towards her hands. Upon glancing to the paper she thinks she sees...
”It appears an elven women in the tavern has spread word of your acquisition of the red yeti pelt. zhentarim associates now aim to relieve you of it. you are fortunate lumen here intervened when he did, otherwise youd be full of holes.”
a23 turns to walk away.
”if you would like. we can take the pelt off your hands. as a deterrent.”
"Well you now have my fortune. I hope you will spend it well. I believe I have had enough of your luck today and will be moving on. Thank you for the game."
Roc extends his hand for a handshake and if taken will heartily shake it.
Roc will then stand up and scan the room to see if he can spot his party.
Garton, one hand inserting a large piece of meat in his mouth, extends his other awkwardly to shake Roc's hand. *munch munch* "Where you going? At least enjoy your dinner like everyone else." he suggests, mouth half full.
Roc stands up in the crowded tavern, now lively with people enjoying a feast. He notices that a23 and Lumen have left.
After seeing Errona's expression, one of the Zhentarim agents whispers to the other. They then both get up to leave.
...
Jestin responds to a23 who has just appeared behind Lumen. "The Zhentarim...? But I just bought...what are you suggesti-" he starts to say, just before a loud alarm goes off from inside the shop.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
" I'm glad you have such anti-theft measures installed. Do be careful, the man had a dagger out when I saw him before. " Lumen tries to tiptoe by the man inside as well.
a23 and Lumen move past Jestin into the establishment, initially seeing nothing. However, with their combined keen perception they are able to see and hear footsteps heading towards the door in attempt to exit past them.
A creature you touch becomes invisible until the spell ends. Anything the target is wearing or carrying is invisible as long as it is on the target's person. The spell ends for a target that attacks or casts a spell.
a23 is miraculously able to grab onto the invisible agent, stopping him in his tracks. The red yeti pelt drops to the ground, revealing itself.
...
Ethen "Ma" Yarbroul greets Errona in the midst of the celebrating crowd. "Back from another trip, are ya hun? Tonight's on Garton and Roc. Just pick something." she says hurriedly before rushing back and forth from the kitchen to other customers.
Errona soon finds the night's special in front of her, a generous portion of pan-seared steak.
Errona excitedly cuts into the steak and takes a bite. She thinks to herself "Sure beats those trail rations we were eating..." A smile slowly grows across her face. She then says to Ethen "So what has been going on since I've been gone? Heard any good rumors about anything interesting?"
"The town has still been going on about who will kill the Red Yeti. Mylbor is sure to be around here eventually. He's a bit late tonight." Ethen says, cleaning a few plates off of the bar. She continues: "Other than that? A couple of our recent inhabitants have been active entering and exiting Targos. Don't ask me what they do out in the Dale, but they've been bringing back some interesting loot."
Errona recalls that Mylbor Tafferac is a local hunter who has been claiming for weeks that he will slay the Red Yeti, a monster that has terrorized travelers in the Dale for months. Bets have been placed around town since even before Errona and Roc left Targos for Bryn Shander.

Roc is able to track a23 and Lumen's tracks a short distance to Triglio, where a loud alarm can be heard.
The Zhentarim agent is highlighted in a vibrant light by Lumen, who is able to choose what color it is. Vibrating in a bright pink color, the captive is unable to return to invisibility.
a23 crouches low, careful to avoid detection as he waits for the opportune moment before intervening.
Roc fiddles with his chin.
”Now if we’re doing this we’re doing it right.
Roc counts out 100 gold pieces.
”You in or out? 100 to play.”
