Captain Basmar appears late for breakfast. He looks about warily, carrying a backpack in his arms, and his usual sword at his side. He pauses at the bar to collect a cup of tea and a thick piece of black bread. He then lugs his backpack out the side door.
Soon thereafter, as Nurlan and Mordik finish their breakfast, Mordik feels the call of nature. Excusing himself from Nurlan, he heads out the side door to go back to the outhouse. He walks out the back door, and is surprised to see the Captain on his hands and knees shoveling hundreds of gold pieces into his backpack. He evidently tripped and spilled them out. He glowers at the Mordik as he passes.
We haven't heard from Orsal in a spell. I hate to have any of my players twiddling their thumbs. Feel free to do your own thing, NakuruSai (in which case Nurlan feels a bit ill and stays at the inn), or NPCing Nurlan and returning together to the theater, or whatever.
