When Tomanta rushes upstairs, he comes upon Marta Du'Orien in the hallway, carrying her bags what looks to be back downstairs. She gives an appraising eye over the House member, and then nods to him as he continues to his room.
'Good luck, Tomanta. I hope you and the others can find the rod.'
With that, she turns and walks downstairs to check out of the inn.
Tomanta grabs the manacles and hurries back downstairs, handing them off to the paladin. Sir Kolarred steps over the still-unconscious prone form of Erreaminin and clasps the manacles around his wrists, binding them tightly behind the waiter's back. Kolarred motions for Luthal's help, and the two of them pull Erreaminin to his feet, and begin walking him out through the kitchen. Lyran grabs the poisoned jug of wine and follows them both. Zook rushes off to find a town guardsman, and Kolarred, Luthal and Lyran wait in the kitchen, preparing the evidence of the dead cook, the bloody knife, and the poison.
Tyler, Margan, Lynx, Tomanta and Kort go back into the front room of the inn, where they put their heads together to decide whether they are going to stay the night here and leave in the morning... find another inn to stay the night inn... or forsake the night's rest and hit the road now. They have not yet made a decision on that.
Eventually the guardsman comes to the door of the kitchen, the Knightmares within tell him everything that happened, and after about an hour Erreaminin is carted off along with all the evidence. Indications are that the waiter will be hung at first light. The four in the kitchen then go and meet up with the rest of the group, whatever they decide to do.
