But the party only gets information about the party. So they visit the tavern and tick off the owners who are not invited to the party and are put out that Quill has not entertained at the tavern for two weeks. While ordering outfits for the party, they discover a beholder called Renekor has been visiting Quill for the last two weeks and is the person who suggested the party.

Looking around they are in a 30 by 30 foot room with forest wallpaper on the walls.

Finally, Ben catches up with the rest of the party in Quill’s room.

After three rounds of good rolls, Master Mind fails a roll and is turned to dust. Swot fails a roll and will dance for the rest of the combat. OUCH. Kait is nearly zeroed out and ticks off the beholder. Renekor chases Kait out of the party room and chows down on the Tabaxi. Just as Kait is going to become kitten chow, Ben casts a healing spell. Being prone, restrained, and chewed on Kait pokes the Beholder in the eye. This really ticks off Renekor.
