Ah ha!
Whizbang, when you had Arak ask to 'borrow' Patch, I didn't realize that you actually wanted him to accompany the group! That works fine, and will be reflected in the next turn.
I'm going to follow stonegod's suggestion, and split the group for the next scene.
Arak, Remen, and Dowlee (with Patch in tow) will be headed to the mayor's office to ask about a certain pair of half-elves.
Jon, Flannad, and Liracor will be off to the locksmith's shop to talk with Ghelve.
Sound good? Good! New turn will be up a bit later this morning.
