Makas and Fror returns downstairs, the place is empty, except for the body of the men who attacked Calondor upstairs. Seeing the body Fror quickly runs towards the unattended body. "Better get rid of the evidence as quickly as possible" Not explaining more he approaches it and starts searching in the men's pocket. After a quick search Makas sees his face lit "TADAM" He says pulling out a bunch of colored piece of papers. He then heads back towards Makas and shows him the paper. "Look at this my friend, take a good look and tell me what you see" Adds the gnome with pride. Makas recognises extremely well done images of each members of the group. Calondor had a 1 drawn under his picture, Fror a 2, Rell a 3, Morrison a 4 and Makas a 5. "Looks like I was the second on the hit list"
Makas carefully observes the images, he is astonished by the quality of the drawing. He almost beleive that he his looking at himself in a mirror. (OOC There actually magical picture but Makas doesn't know that). On each of the images Makas (search roll 19+2 ; Fror search 9 DC 10) He notices from the background of the images and they way each of the character is dress that these images depict moments of yesterday.
Fror concentrates a few seconds on the picture saying strange words and doing slight movement of the hand "They are magical, I feel conjuration magic emanating from these images"

A few seconds later 4 guards enter the Inn. They all wear the colors of the village. One of them kneel near the body of the dead assassin. The other three heads upstair. About a minute later a women dressed in a beautifully crafted chain shirt and wearing a nicely carved bastard sword on her back enters the Inn. She is beautifull and extremely imposing, all her flesh seems to be covered with tatooes. She seems pretty strong physically and both Makas and Fror are sligthly intimidated by her presence. As she enters the room she quickly scans the area stoping on Makas and Fror. She then looks at them with eyes that could chill their blood.
She slowly approaches them keeping her eyes on them. Her large leather boots knocking hard on the wooden floor with each steps.
"Gentlemen, my name is Gabriella, I am responsible of the security around here" She says in an extremely cold fashion.

The three other guards arrive upstair. They quickly interrogate the dwarf who accuratly describes what he knows. Utrolac does the same, and Calondor (roll diplomacy 15+7;search 10+2) who gives an extremely convincing argument but not a lot of proof. It doesn't really matters as the guards really got impressed by the half-elf presentation more than it's actual content. Morrison and Rell only corroborates the facts. After about 5 minutes without asking more question the guard who seems to be in charge asks Morrison to give her the barmaid, they will bring her back and will interrogates her, to get more information on who called for the attack on the bard. They seems confused on why a group from the village would attack two strangers without any good motives.
The rest of the mercenaries also corroborate the story and the group is released. The three guards heads back down with the lady on their shoulders.
