Freeport, the Warehouse district, nine bells (night)

Villard takes out a knife and slowly tries to open the 'window' without making any noise...
Move Silent 18 +11=29
...and it slides up with almost no noise. Light from inside spills out into the ally. Peaking inside, Villard can make out a small room, with a door on the opposite wall about 20 feet away. In the center of the room is a table with two rough looking men sitting at it playing cards. They have a lot of gang and pirate tattoos, with a musket and loaded heavy crossbow near at hand. They are laughing and cursing each other over the game they are playing and not really paying attention to the door BUT it is fairly obvious they would notice the door opening and that they must be 'doormen'.
 


Villard looks at Zoraster and says "let's go back to the Inn there are ... Villard hesitates he feels like telling him 10 persons to completly discouraging him from charging, Villards hate to lie but sometimes to save someone life... On the other hand Villard is a poor liar and might risk to lose the halfling trust with a stupid lie "... 2 of them, but I prefer we go get the help from the other, they seems to be acting as some kind of doorman and who knows who is inside"

Villard looks at the halfling hoping to convince him with the thruth.
 

Zoraster Surefoot

"Just 2? But you're right, it wouldn't be fair to the others to leave them out, and the building isn't going anywhere. Let's go get them and hurry back." He flourishes his rapier before sheathing it, then hurries back towards the inn.
 

the Last Resort Inn, ten bells (night)

The two return to the inn, and the commotion caused by assassination has not calmed. Torrin and Kitsch are on the second floor, while Black Jack is upstairs calming the girl (who is not so little as the elf first thought... for a elf she might be a child, but for a human a woman indeed!)

The guards have summoned the City Watch who have covered the doors and are looking at the food "Poison I reckon..." and seem to be wrapping up their 'extensive' investigation... while others are helping themselves to a memento or two

Torren and Kitsch head out of the room and hear the patrons talking about "...a murder! ...assassins... and ...someone killed them nobles upstairs"

At Roderigo's room, they find him readying for bed and somewhat shocked by Torren;s tale "Who now would want to kidnap me? I'm just a merchant?"

"Yes, and I'm the dowager lady LaTrelle." Torren smiles conspiratorially. "Come along Roderigo. Who have you annoyed lately? These fellows are clearly up to something grand, but there must be a reason they picked you for their plan rather than someone easier to get."

"But I swear ta ya Torrin, on the only thing that really matters, gold-itself, that I an't done anything special all year. No one have a traded with so unfarily that they would want some revenge. No fathers who would wish to do me harm, I'm a gettin' to old fer that anyway..." Roderigo almost pleads...

Sense Motives for Torrin 11-1 =10, Kitsch 8 -1 =7. Both of you think he seems to be truthful...

Torren puts a hand on the merchant's shoulder. "All right, Roderigo. We'll figure it out. For now you'd better get under wraps. You can hide out at my place for tonight until you can make your own arrangements." Gesturing at the Filcher he continues, "Kitsch and I will see what we can find out. We've got an idea to try to find out who sent these idiots." Turning to Kitsch he signs ~Why don't you link up with our friends and bring them up to date. I'll run Roderigo over to my place and get him set, then meet you back here. OK~
