Meep looks at Twitch, a little unsure. "I thought the killer was using a blade in the night and lopping off heads. You can't lop off a head with pistols, unless you're very, very determined. And have a lot of ammunition. And time. And... I digress." 

Turning to the tiefling girl, Meep says "Hello, my name is Meep the Mysterious. You said his name was Saloon, yes? Do you know if he's the one killing elves on the docks by moonlight?"

High up on the rooftops, a hooded figure is watching over the commotion happening on the ground. The various shades of grey, dancing around his retina with the brief flash from an arcane spell giving colour to an otherwise monochrome view. He waits for the pieces to fit, for Mr Nackles' details to make sense. The kobold gives it away, he smirks as he pockets his night's work and begins to return back to the Fence with a new goal in mind.

The little girl nods. "Aye, he's been taking out elves and half-elves working for those Zhents. He's good with a blade but he's better with a gun. Me guess is that he likely paniced when he saw you guys. Nice to meet you Meep the Mysterious, I'm Eze of the Crate though hopefully that'll change."

Meep and Twitch you remember that you were asked to look into the incident and report back to Starsong. You didn't have to kill him or anything.

Meep grins, as he keeps meeting more and more friendly people. "Well, Eze of the Crate, we have a tavern that we're rebuilding, and we have a ghost as a bartender, and a good supply of rats if you need something to eat. Thank you for the information, and I hope you enjoy your hanky - come by Trollskull Manor sometime and say hi!"

Turning to the rest of the group, and seeing how much trouble Sybil is having, Meep says "Should we head home? Twitch and I can meet you there, we can stop by the Yawning Portal and relay what we've learned." 

Lussa comes back to the group.  "I don't think he was the one.  Unless the one he was following was really the one we are after."

Delmalis shakes his head, "Apparently he was the one, but not necessarily a bad one. Is that everything for the night?" 

(How old does the tiefling girl look?)

Delmalis words have Twitchs brain deeply confused, but it seems its not bad to murder people.  Twitch begins making a list.

Sybil looks lift and right and around, "I like to think i'm rather intelligent but I have no idea what's happening? Are we on the clock or done for the night? If we're done, I'm getting a damn drink,"

OOC: The tiefling girl looks about 9-10 years old, but Demalis you get the feeling she is the one you need to give the hankerchief too.

"You can come with us, Sybil, Twitch and I are going to see Davil at the Yawning Portal, you can probably get a damn drink there. Is it different from a regular drink?" Meep starts heading out. 

"Lead the way. A damn drink is any drink you get after a headache," Sybil states as she follow the pair. 

If Phaulconmere is on the way back to Trollskull, Lussa will stop off there to see if anyone is awake to report about the scarecrows, otherwise, she will head back to the manor and report in the morning.  She will announce her actions to the group and welcome any company for the walk.

Delmalis passes over the handkerchief then turns to the others, "I'm just going to go straight back to the bar."

Eze nods and hands Demalis a sack containing 500 gold pieces.

Given how late it is, Lussa's contact is likely asleep, but he should he up tomorrow morning.

Meep, Twitch and Sybil go to the Yawning Portal and Davil listens to the report, giving everyone 50 gold pieces. Is there anything else you'd like to ask him or anything you'd like to do before we proceed to the next day?

Just give Sybil a drink and she'll head back to sleep complaining about how late it is. 

Meep is too distracted by the gold pieces to worry about more questions at the moment. He's happy to go back to the Manor to rest, then in the morning he'll get what he needs and spend time copying another spell into his book. 

Twitch yawns and heads back to their pile of straw.

 (Is this 50 gold total or 50 gold for each person there, or 50 gold for each party member?)

Delmalis passes out the gold, 50 gold each and 200 put towards the manor.

(I'm going to start keeping track of a party fund unless someone else already has one going?)

OOC: The money Meep, Twitch and Sybil received from Davil is 50 gold for every person there. For him, he thought 'oh the three of you were there, here's 50 gold for each of you.'

Lussa will greet Lim when she gets back to the manor and wish anyone else there a good night and turn in for her 4 hour trance.  Upon awaking she'll head upstairs for coffee and to check on the food stores to make sure they have all been delivered and properly stored, then visit with Lim until about an hour after dawn (or something else happens) before heading to Phaulkonmere to report on the scarecrows.
