"Good night guys. What time we leaving tomorrow? Sunrise? I'll be ready." Ithiken goes upstairs into his lodge room and cleans himself up before climbing into bed.

The next moring he gets up bright and early and packs everything up ready for travel. He then heads downstairs to wait for the rest of the party, taking the time to read the scroll a bit to hopefully give himself a better idea of what he'll need to do when he casts the spell. The language is much trickier than he's used to, and he spends a bit of time trying to puzzle out all the sounds and inflections he'll need to make when it comes time to speak the magical words.
 

Night attack in the Welcome wench

Taking a good night sleep, you all crawl to your beds to let the dream fairies grasp your minds and induce a peaceful feeling on your mortal souls. The cheering and singing dies an hour later when the last of the customers leave and the other guests fall asleep.
*************************************
Sometime, in the middle of the night.
[sblock=Miltiades's Private room]
Listen check: Success
You wake up to the sound of the door's knob, someone is trying to open your door.
Looking outside the window tells you it's the middle of the night.
It gives you a second to act before you hear a click, someone opened the lock and the door opens slowly …
[/sblock]

[sblock=Lenuran's Private room]
Knock, Knock.
You wake up and hear.
Mr. Lenuran, its Maridosen, the barkeep. Vesta told me to deliver you an important letter that arrived today, I'm sorry that I forgot to bring it earlier, please open the door.
[/sblock]

[sblock=Common room Thandis/Ithiken]
Listen Checks: All failed.
Despite the loud snores of the disfigured Halfling that sleeps in the far corner of the common room, Thandis sleep well. Sitting on his bed in the other end, Ithiken focus on his meditation and hears nothing as well. Then …
Ohh.. Ouch …
Ithiken open an eye and sees an armored figure with long dark hair standing above one of the sleeping figures, the man just plunged his bastard sword deep into the sleeping man, you identify the dead man as one of the body guards which arrived afternoon with the Velunian merchants …
Damn… it's not him. The Long haired man says to a red haired woman that stands outside the room.
In that moment the others denizens in the room awake, including the Kid.

While lying on his bed mat, Ithiken's eyes spring open in surprise at this murderous intrusion in the inn. "What the--?!?" Without missing a beat, he makes several hand motions and mumbles to himself... and suddenly the elf disappears completely from view. He knows better than to keep himself in view of an enemy while his defenses are not up.

(Partial action: Cast Invisibility on self)

(Initiative: 24)

Knowing now that he is free from prying eyes for the moment, the elf immediately gets to his feet in preparation for the upcoming fight, and quickly casts a defensive spell. The all-too-familiar invisible disc of energy springs in front of him, and Ithiken breathes a bit easier, knowing that his Shield will protect him just a little bit.

(Move action: stand up / Standard action: Cast Shield on self)

The Kid draws his daggers immediately, a mere fraction after the elf disappears, preparing for the worse. He cries, "Foes in the Inn! Foes in the Inn!"

[Surprise Round: Draw two daggers as a move action. Two-weapon Defense increases AC +2. Init: 24]

Seeing the blood, he knows this is not an accident. The Kid springs to his feet, and slices or throws at the nearest foe.

"Just a minute!" calls Lenuran, rolling out of bed and rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He starts to move for the door, and then second guesses himself. With all the strange happenings, it paid to be careful. Quickly drawing his longsword from its scabbard, the gnome then moves to open the door, ready to spring away at the first sign of danger.

Miltiades immediately grabs his holy symbol, quickly chanting out the words to a spell summoning a celestial ally. He then gets up and casts another spell he had prepared for cultists.

Surprise Round + Round 1.

Miltiades and Lenuran hears shouting from outside the private rooms section.
"Foes in the Inn! Foes in the Inn!", it sounds like The kid.

[sblock=Miltiades's Private room]
Miltiades immediately grabs his holy symbol, quickly chanting out the words to a spell summoning a celestial ally. Entering into the room you see tall and imposing fellow with a dark beard tapered to a point and thick bushy eyebrows. Once he is inside he caught in surprise to see you are awake, so he throws his dagger quickly, but the dagger falls short. Miltiades gets to his feet and cast a spell on the human but the human shakes off the feeling. Suddenly a weird and yellow beetle springs into existence beside the human and bite him viciously in the leg.

"Just a minute!" calls Lenuran, rolling out of bed and rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He starts to move for the door, and then second guesses himself. With all the strange happenings, it paid to be careful. Quickly drawing his long sword from its scabbard, the gnome then moves to open the door, ready to spring away at the first sign of danger. But the barkeep is too fast, throwing a wooden tray on Lenuran she quickly swings her rapier and slice Lenuran in his arm.
Backing and swinging his short sword, sleepy Lenuran hits the door with a mighty blow.
You fool, you and your friends should mind your own business and not ours, now you die!!
The barkeep stabs you again, this time in the chest, causing Lenuran to bleed severely. [/sblock]

The Kid draws his daggers immediately, a mere fraction before the elf disappears, preparing for the worse. He cries, "Foes in the Inn! Foes in the Inn!"
Ithiken's eyes spring open in surprise at this murderous intrusion in the inn. "What the--?!?" Without missing a beat, he makes several hand motions and mumbles to himself... and suddenly the elf disappears completely from view.
The ugly Halfling in the far corner wakes up but immediately screams in pain as the short red haired woman simply touch him in the head.
Taking advantage of the only sleeping figure, the armored man advance to him and land his sword on him, the poor soul never had a chance to scream, he was the other body guard of the merchant's.
Seeing the blood, The kid knows this is not an accident. The Kid springs to his feet but takes a blow from from the human's sword, in return he slices the foe in his left waist.
Knowing now that he is free from prying eyes for the moment, the elf immediately gets to his feet in preparation for the upcoming fight, and quickly casts a defensive spell. The all-too-familiar invisible disc of energy springs in front of him, and Ithiken breathes a bit easier, in the far end of the room, the two guests wake up, the Halfling begins to go wild when the woman lands her Morningstar on him, she then moves back and casts a spell. The armored human raise his bastard sword and luckily for Thandis the sword lands on his pillow.

"By the Old One's Mangy Beard!" The Kid curses as the broadsword swipes his arm. The scout lithely tumbles over the beds and off the wall, tossing a dagger as he does so at the swine that cut him.
