"Let's check one last time to see if Sybil has gotten back yet before we go.  The more the merrier for this, I think," Lussa suggests.  "And then we'll get the show on the road."

Upon seeing the group return from her room, she makes her down from the floor, meeting with them at the first floor. Listening to the talk about killers in the city and monster outside the city, "Two weeks, let's help we can get the money and get the builder to work fast. I dont want to have a noble pissed at us for breaking a promise. Why did you just try to lift the handkerchief? Anyways, I think the killer might be quicker to deal with since we need to drop off handkerchief,"

Upon seeing the group return from her room, she makes her down from the floor, meeting with them at the first floor. Listening to the talk about killers in the city and monster outside the city, "Two weeks, let's help we can get the money and get the builder to work fast. I dont want to have a noble pissed at us for breaking a promise. Why did you just try to lift the handkerchief? Anyways, I think the killer might be quicker to deal with since we need to drop off handkerchief," 

 Delmalis shrugs, "Depends on how quickly we find the killer. Seems like the scarecrow is pretty regular and easy to find, a random killer amongst an entire district might be tricky to find."

"What about you tell us more details on the scarecrow and this killer. So far, I've just got we need to stop scarecrows on farms and something about a blade in the night. Nothing on details for both events," Sybil replies as she looks around for glasses and a bottle, practicing some bartendering.

Lussa nods, "sure thing.  There is a scarecrow plaguing the farmers just east of the city around dusk, when they are turning in for the night, and they want it gone.  The nightblade is decapitating dock workers at night and needs to be stopped.  So the scarecrow will likely be active first, so we can deal with it, then try to find the nightblade while we turn in the bounty for the handkerchief."

Sybil sighs as her head hurts trying to determine the timeline and reality of traveling the distance in time, "So we hit the farms first then hit the docks for a stakeout. i think we should grab some supplies since we'll be out all night," She heads for her room and packs a quick bag of food and drinks before heading out with the rest.  

Twitch looked  little confused.

" Scarecrow.....supposed to scare birds, just stand there. This one moving?"

" Farm is where people who can't hunt catch their food."

" Yes, head chopper cutting off elf and part-elf heads. We need cut off its head."

Sounds good. Is there anything anyone wants to do before you head out to the farms?

Sybil's ready to go after grabbing night provisions. 

If there's nothing else the party wants to do before going to the fields -

The group walks through Waterdeep's streets and makes it to the outside gates. You continue east until you come upon farm areas. As the sun goes down, you see a few farmers pass you and wave, almost as if they're wishing you luck. Go ahead and make Perception or Investigation checks, whichever is higher.

Lussa Perception check:  11

Sybil Investigation : 13

Alberich Investigation: 19 

Delmalis would grab his pack after seeing Sybil going back for rations and realizing it was a good idea. He'd also bring along his deck of cards to keep themselves occupied while they wait if necessary.

Perception: 24

Investigation: 5

Meep happily walks along, snatching the odd bug from the air and munching happily as he looks around. Investigation: 20

Meep and Demalis can hear shuffling from the distance. They see three scarecrows, one wears a sackcloth hood, another has a rotting pumpkin head, and the third is covered with a threadbare blanket. The scarecrows are 30 feet away. Let's have everyone roll initiative. 

If you get above the scarecrow roll of 7 go ahead and take your first round turn. 

Sybil Initiative: 21

"Well that was quicker than expect," Sybil states as she casts Hex, choosing strength, on the nearest Scarecrow and blasting it with Eldritch blast as she backs way to create some distance.

Attack: 24 Damage: 5 Hex damage: 3 necrotic 

Lussa initiative:  16

Lussa moves back and left from the group as she unshoulders her bow and looses an arrow at the nearest creature:  
     Attack: 10 Damage: 4

Alberich initiative: 20 

Alberich quickly looks for something to hide behind, a haybale, a big rock, maybe a cart, and moves there. He loads his new heavy crossbow, and leaning carefully out from his hiding place, shoots at the nearest scarecrow.

Bonus Action: Cunning Action Hide

Stealth: 15 

Action: Shoot with Heavy Crossbow

Attack: 14 Damage: 13 

That is, 10 damage if I managed to hide, 4 if I didn't
