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.

Lussa, you get yourself a cup of coffee and see that the food stores have been delivered. You even see some flyers next to the food as if the merchants are encouraging you to continue spending your money with them. You visit with Lim for an hour. Roll me a Persuasion/Charisma Check or an Intelligence/History check, whichever is higher.

(Both are +0 ... lol)

Lussa Persuasion check:  13
   and History check:  12

Rotthran's eyes casually check over each person entering and leaving the manor from within the shadows of the alley. It had appeared that Mr Nackles' acquaintances had moved in, he thought as he bit into the apple. The morning sun beating down, lighting the front of the building, highlighting each and every detail.

Rotthran bit into his apple as he continues to watch from the outside.

Lussa are you're talking to Lim, you get brief flashbacks in your mind of a young blond-haired half-elf you assume is Lim. It's mostly waiting tables and slinging drinks. You also see a beautiful woman talking to him and they hit it off. You can't tell what they're saying but it sounds like they hit it off. And the flashback ends and you're back in the manor, drinking coffee.

It's about morning so everyone can wake up.

You are now level 3!

Twitch yawned and scratched themselves then headed out the window with their double-blade, it had served them well but it was not good for city fighting.

Heading back later with a heavy pouch of coin they left it next to the sleeping kobold and headed down to eat.

Delmalis didn't get much sleep that night, though he felt remarkably refreshed, after he found a strange scroll while trying to clean/repair more of his room. Though he couldn't initially read the writing, the more he examined the illustrations and attempted to practice the techniques shown, the more the writing seemed to somehow make sense. By the time the sun rose, he understood it was written by someone who had learned to mimic the power of dragons using his inner energy. And now, Delmalis had taken the first few steps along the long path to doing the same.

Sybil has a familiar dream as she sees what she believes is the one who gave her powers. She watches as it picks a part of itself becoming a ball of darkness before placing it into her waiting hands where it becomes a book. Sybil wakes up to the sound of the household moving, she goes to holds her head from her minor hangover only to whack herself with the book in reality. She spend some time investigating and trying some of the spells within. casting Alarm around her room as a example before heading down to eat.

As the vision clears, Lussa takes a sip of coffee and reaches a comforting hand across the bar, "Oh, Lim, what a handsome man.  And the girl, what was her name?"

Lim pauses for a moment and writes one name on the chalkboard - Naneatha Suaril

As Twitch comes down, Lim prepares a plate of insects and a cup of coffee. Two more cups of coffee are poured as Sybil and Demalis come downstairs.

Once the four arrive, you hear a knock coming from the door.

Meep wakes, stretches, and seeing the coin pouch, immediately starts studying. He gets his notebook out and starts sketching out arcane ideas, and will do so for about 2 hours. Then he'll head downstairs, confident that he's been successful at transferring the burning hands spell into his book

Lussa smiles at Lim, saying "she's very beautiful as well, I will want to learn all about the two of you, if that's okay with you." Then gets up and heads for the door, "I'll see who it is."

Lim draws a happy face on the chalkboard.

As Lussa opens the door, she sees four small children, one being Eze of the Crate. Behind her is a human boy and a half-orc boy, a gnome girl, and a tabaxi girl. The four are trying to peek into the manor all wide-eyed and Eze nods at Lussa. "Hello. Is Meep the Mysterious here?"

Lussa smiles and calls over to the bar, "Meep the Mysterious!  Your entourage has arrived!"  She then steps aside to allow the children inside.

The children walk through all wide-eyed as they explore and examine the bar and lobby as children do. A couple of them clean off the cobwebs in the corner and look at the furniture and dusty walls. As they do this, Lim props up five glasses of water as the children walk over and drink them.

Twitch looks over towards Meep as they shove more cockroachs into their mouth.

" Meep? Explain."

(I think she had three or four drinks through the day), "Why in the nine hells are there kids running around here?" Sybil says half groan half shouting while trying to drink the coffee. 

Lussa returns to the bar, and whispers to Lim, "got any hangover cures handy?," and motions to Sybil.

Once everything is stabilized, she will ask if anyone wants to accompany her to the South Ward and head out to turn in the scarecrow mission for the reward.

Meep appears, and grins as he sees Eze of the Crate. "Welcome! Welcome, Eze, and all of your friends. Welcome to... (in a spooky voice) Trollskull Manor! Duhn dun DUHN! There are frights around every corner and ghosts tending bar, and someday the troll whose skull forms the foundation of this establishment will return seeking his lost head! Come in, enjoy!"

As the children ooh and ah, and look around, Meep will find time to whisper to Eze. "Once we get everything fixed up, I'll happily give you and your crew here a gold per week to spread the word about our place, but also to keep your ears to the ground and tell us interesting news or rumors that may be floating around the streets. What do you say?"

Eze's eyes light up. "That would be wonderful Mr. Meep." The other children are excited about the offer. She sheepishly looks at Meep. "We really don't have any where else to go. Could we stay here? We just need a closet space is all to put our backpack."

With that she looks to the tabaxi girl who brings down a backpack and opens it as each of the children climb inside.

Meep, you can go ahead and make an Arcana check to determine the nature of this?

Lussa, as you ask Lim the question, he writes on the board," a halfling once told me about a hangover cure. When he drink too much, he cooked himself a large flank steak with salted butter, put on a pair of wet socks and went to sleep. Works every time."

Lussa chuckles at the remedy, and whispers to Sybil, "wanna give it a try?," motioning to the chalkboard.  Keeping her voice low in deference to Sybil's pain, "anyone want to go for a walk to the South Ward?"
