Pwent looks up and says, "I've got a job that I can probably still go to today" and then he quickly returns to eating

“That plan works for me,” Keryth replies quietly, between slowly chewed mouthfuls of stew, taking a sip of ale he continues, “Well Gav was standing right next to Destiny when the woman pointed him out...did he manage to hand it to you Destiny?”

Destiny smiles. "I was wondering when the subject of money would come up! As a matter of fact, he did. And I haven't gotten a chance to look at it yet. I wasn't too keen on opening it up out of fear that someone in here might recognize it as the merchant's ... belongings. But I certainly can take it out if you all think it's safe ..."
She begins to pull out the merchant's money purse.

“No, no, just so long as we know we have it we can check it when we’re safely in our accommodations, hopefully it will be enough to outfit our little expedition tomorrow at least,” Keryth says softly, waving his free hand nonchalantly for Destiny to put it away.

Byntrou
Satisfied that they have some level of plan and ability to pull it off, at least until sometime mid-morning tomorrow, Byntrou enjoys both meal and drink to his fill, sneaking a few tiny bits of meat into his robe for Delcoi (though chances are she'll merely go mouse hunting again in the night).
When he's done, and the others as well, he stands.
"Back to the Inn, then? I need a full night's rest to regain my full spellcasting ability, and I'm sure the rest of you could use much the same. It's been a long day, I think."

All:
[Sblock]OOC: I am sensing that people are done here, so I'll push the game forward. Unleashed, I'll have Keryth stay back at the Rusty Anchor for a bit to accomplish your purposes. Everyone else can assume that their characters got safely back to the Inn without anything gone missing.[/Sblock]
Byntrou, Bahruul, Pwent:
Arriving back at the inn, it is now relatively late in the evening and the sun has been down for some time now. Each of the party is greeted by Karen, who smiles upon their entrance. "Thank mighty Pelor that you all survived the day and are back in one piece! I get so worried on the days after a robbery occurs. Some people get so wrapped up in getting even they do something astupid and bite off more than they can chew. But you all seem to have made it just fine. I'm quite relieved, my prayers to Pelor have been answered indeed!" She pauses for a bit and replies, "I figured that you would be abck, I've changed the sheets and turned them down for you if you'd like the same room. You can rest easy tonight - a robbery never happens twice in the same night. Nothin' left to steal, at least ..."
After speaking, her face wears an expression as though her last thought didn't come out nearly as encouraging as she had hoped it might. Only then does her eyes count bodies.
"Wait a minute ... wasn't there five of you this morn? Oh, please tell me I 'ain't gone and put me ole foot in me mouth now ..."
Keryth:
As Keryth waits for Dahlia to finish her shift, mop the floors, etc ... etc ... the final patrons of the night begin to shuffle off. Before too long, Keryth is alone in the building with Dahlia, the cook and his assistant (who are in the kitchen), the barkeep who managed to catch Gav for a second or two, and one other waiter. While Dahlia seems to be in charge of cleaning the dining room, the other waiter seems to be responsible for making sure the staples (sugar, honey, oils, peppers, and salts) are prepared for the next day's business. As a result, the other waiter is spending most of his time in the kitchen and only infrequently does this waiter bring items out to the tables that Dahlia has already swept and mopped underneath.
Dahlia rubs her eyes and wipes her forehead with the back of her forearm. Her tired eyes turn to Keryth and she smiles. "You are a very sweet and noble man to be hangin' around waiting for my 'food and ale' smelly self. Are you this nice to everyone - or just waitresses who keep a small dagger tucked away in a very dangerous place?" She smiles once more and hefts the handle of the mop up into the air and then brings it down, turning the mophead over for a new pass along the floor.

Byn smiles a bit ruefully.
"Indeed, we've survived, and have managed to get quite a bit of business done despite the theft. At the moment, a nice bed is greatly appreciated, Karen. Thank you."
With that, Byn heads off to bed. He releases Delcoi once he's there, so that she might hunt in the night as she sees fit.

[SBLOCK]“Well Dahlia, I think you’ve found me out, I’m attracted to waitresses who keep a small dagger about their person,” Keryth chuckles, smiling he continues, “All joking aside though I find you a beautiful, sweet natured, and capable young woman whom I would wish to know better. Before anything of that nature can happen, assuming I haven’t misinterpreted your interest of course, I must tell you a little secret about myself, though you may already have guessed it I won’t leave it unsaid...I’m a Drakontos, and am much older than I appear.”[/SBLOCK]

Byntrou, Bahruul, Pwent:
Karen nods to Byntrou as he heads off. "Pleasant eve's rest ..."
Keryth:
[Sblock]Dahlia replies as she chuckles at Keryth's joke, "Well, nothing like being honest up front. Forward, I think my momma used to call it. She always said to watch out for people who are forward. Me, I like 'em. I like to be around people who know what they want and are honest about it." She smiles a broad smile and looks to the floor, suddenly embarassed. She laughs a little bit, unsure of how to continue. Finally she adds, "I suppose I could say the same to you, you know. You're noble, came to the aid of a mere tavern wench who most people would just as soon used and discard. And I like you too. But as far as I know, I'm just a human who's not very old at all. If you think your age will have been important to me - I suppose its only fair to make sure my youth won't be obnoxious to you as well."
She lifts her eyes to meet Keryth's for the first time since she became embarassed. "But you gotta understand. I work around people who are always coming on to me and then they skip town and go on their way and not even give me a second thought. I'm not interested in being someone else's forgotten memory. I hope that isn't too forward myself, but you gotta understand where I am coming from, too."[/Sblock]
