Polly steps forward and roots through the table, picking up a wand. She holds it between two fingers by one end and turns to the shopkeep. "This appears to be an interesting item, though afflicted with a minor curse. I happen to possess such skills that might cleanse the item, and would be happy to do so. I would be happy to take it off your hands for a pittance. Out of your hair. Do we have a deal?"
Polly agrees and hands over 55 gold, and picks up the wand with her fingertips, depositing it in her pack. She nods slightly in thanks, and then looks to the rest of the party in the store and heads off to the cellar where the princess is to regroup.
EDIT: missed the above. Let me know who paid for the wand! It might actually be better for a ranged caster to have it -- Polly's got eldritch blast for range, and she prefers to be up close with a sword.
Mason follows Polly back to the cellar for the regroup. Once there he tells the Princess "We have completed our purchases and are ready." He looks at Polly "How did things go with the nobleman?"

Polly, now looking like herself again, leans back against a stone wall as she arrives back at the cellar in front of the princess. In the middle of talking, she disguises herself as the cloaked Dragonborn man she saw at the house, and then back to herself. “Well, it could have gone better. I knocked on the door looking like an attractive suitor calling on him. This person opened the door, does he look like the leader of the city? He didn’t say. He called the guards when we tried to snoop in the rest of the house, and it was a close call getting away. Then we scooped up these folks at the market and came back here. If I saw the lord of the city and can impersonate him, then great, the plan proceeds apace. If I saw someone else, then maybe I can just pretend to be carrying the letter for him. Otherwise I’m open to ideas.”
She then plops down on the ground, getting in a short rest while the forgery process finishes up and the party decides what to do. She commits the princess’ appearance to memory as a risky backup plan if things go haywire and they really just need to get in front of the king.
Brightmoon completes the forgery and shows the party the invitation.
He then starts to use disguise kit to make himself to look older and stooped from years of work as a servant. Once completed he casts minor illusion on his swords, bow and quiver so they appear as a backpack of material he is carrying for his lord.
Tunes arrives after about an hour. "I thought we would meet in the tavern, got caught by the guards? Well that went amazing, at least we got away safely. When will we leave to meet the king?" Then he takes a look at the forgery. "Good work, I think this should help."

(What time is it now?)
(It's sometime past noon? Around 1:00PM)
"Wonderful! The gate to the Castle Town Ruins is in the top tower, use that to reach the castle."
"I think we decided Halfast and I will act as servants, Caya will be a guard. Did we decide who was going to be invited and the other roles?" Brightmoon ask as he finishes his disguise.
"Its 90 gold, place it on the counter"
If you decide to buy it:
When the gold is placed on the counter, you see it suddenly fade away in a trickle of dust.
Mason says "Thank you very much, here is the money" He watches it disappear and is amazed. He turns to Polly "Were you able to find anything?"
Lot's of stuff ...
Polly
In the pile you found an interesting wand that caught your eye.

"You may take it, but you must pay for it first. I don't do charities, even if the items are cursed. Place it on the table with 60 gold."
Mason looks at Polly and says "I have 25 gold you can borrow if you want to pay me back. Up to you. Does that make enough?"
Lot's of stuff ...
Polly grimaces. "50 gold and we have a deal."
Persuasion/intimidation: 14

"Too low, 55 gold maybe?"
"I'll pay for it. 50 is a very good price, after all. I might consider buying something for myself with such a low cost."

"52 Gold, final offer!"
"Okay, that sounds good." The halfling pays 53 slightly damp gold pieces.

On the table, 52 of the gold pieces disappear while the last one lay there alone.
