OOC: Ausk is able to bash things. Get outside of that, he really doesn't have much to work with. So fast forwarding is fine by me.

[sblock=OOC]I think I've milked Pari's angst and anger for about as much as I can right now. Forwarding is fine by me as well. Though I do have to say that Maia's conversation with the surly bartender could be an entertaining read if we go that way

[sblock=ooc]Just to let people know, my job officially ends next Monday, so aside from battle, Ausk is going to be pretty much background support/bodyguard. He's not talkative to begin with, and my focus on real life is going to mean he is even less so.[/sblock]

You manage to find and purchase a 25ft ladder. The damn thing is heavy and bulky, weighing 50 pounds and requires two people to carry it. You find yourself back at the alley entrance about 30 minutes before the scheduled meeting time. It took a bit more time than planned to acquire a long enough ladder.

BTW, there is no train on the railroad tracks for this segment of the adventure. You all need to decide your actions and then do them.Garnet looks at the roof. "Maia," she suggests. "The bartender seemed to like you. Why don't you go in and ask him if we can rent his roof for the night? Explain that we are not looking for trouble, but our friend is in some danger from this misunderstanding and we would like to be prepared. Promise him we will pay for any damage to the roof. Offer him this for the night," she adds, handing over a bag of coins.
Her Dwarven nature kicks in for a moment as she is handing over the gold, and her fingers are slow to release the bag into Maia's hand.
OOC: Unless anyone objects, I'm in favor of putting 50 gp of party treasure into roof rental. Between the gold and Maia's astronomical wiles, we might sell him. My logic is that the strategic advantage of the roof is probably worth as much or more to us than a potion, so this is a reasonable expense.

Pari looks around the alley once the group arrives back with the ladder. His fine features appear thoughtful. "How do we want to play this? As we're trying to convince this woman - and her thugs as well - of our honesty in claiming that I am not, in fact, Maderius I think we should be straight up. Station ourselves around the meet, but in sight so that they can't accuse us of ambushing them. Protest my innocence, but be prepared for a fight.
"However, it's you - my good friends - who are putting your lives on the line to help me clean this mess up. If you'd rather play it a little closer to the vest there's something to be said for the dramatic effect of the little Gnome and his tiger friend waiting (apparently) alone in the alley for his attackers. Unless you're seen, of course."

"I favor honesty," replies Garnet. "With strength." The words are virtually a Dwarven proverb. "Let them see where we are, and tell them the truth. Master Pari, you should think of ways to prove your identity, things most other gnomes could not do. You've no shortage of those," she adds wryly.

Maia accepts the gold and heads into the inn, for once absolutely clear in her mission. The customs and ways of people were often puzzling or confounding, but this time...yes, this time she 'got it.' So she marched confidently past the rough-looking men that she'd so recently placated and up to the counter where she plopped the bag of gold with a decisive jink.
"You are the owner of the roof of this building? I and my friends would like to exchange this metal for it," she explained proudly.
