The Assassin that was in Ulfgard's room, that came too with Haskyll's healing, looks at Anga and speaks, "I am Mordea. Until today, we were the Freedom Town Assassins. You pay us to take care of a problem and we do it. But we were not told that we would be up against Warriors. We were told that the marks were four Dwarves and a Human with no special training."
Returning dressed in a kilt and a shirt and wearing boots the dwarfen ranger looks at Mordea."Did you hit me wee head, am I hard of hearing, or do I still dream. You little piece of s~%$ call yourself Freedom town assassins? What in Rovaugs fat arse is freedom town? What does he stands for. And who lives and governs it?"

Kurst, when women are in our rooms univited with bared blades, I think it falls under self defence what happened here.
However, survivors you are free to take away, as they are right here.Shaking his head at the oversized human. Aye Torag and I can be doing something about that.
[dice=CLW]d8+1
Kaos will go back to his room and dress him self.
Mordea will look at Ulfgard, "You have not heard of Freedom Town? Hmm. It is a town on the border between Belkzen and Lastwall. There are 400 or so of us that live in Freedom Town. Governed?" She will pause a moment to think about that question, "The Sharpes gang leaders typically govern the town, if you can call it that."
Haskyll looks over at Mordea.
Where you paid to kill someone else in this inn, last night?
Mordea will look at Haskyll, "No. You were our target."
I believe you, but you must tell us now who hired you now, if you don't well
He leaves the last part of the statement blank to let them think over it.
The Woman thinks it over for a moment, "I don't know his name. He has hired us before though. He is an odd-looking Half-Orc with tattoos all over his face. He has long blonde hair too. He pays using well cut Beryls, so we don't ask many questions."
Kurst do you know anyone that fits that description?
I also think that there is more to this than your brothers murder.
First Wolves in the street, and now assassins in the night.
All to attempt to stop us from looking into your brothers murder.
Kurst will turn to Haskyll, "That was a very specific description. I have not seen a Half-Orc in Trunau that fits that description. But I agree someone has gotten wind of your investigation and is trying to stop it.
Kurst will then look at Mordea, "I don't take kindly to your type in our town. I know that the Freedom Town folk think differently. They see your caste as just one of many. But we frown on paid Assassins here. I will take the survivors of your group before the council. I will let them know that you have cooperated with questioning. But for now, remove your weapons, armor and possessions. You can keep your undergarments for now. You will be searched more thoroughly at the Longhouse. "
Kurst will look at the party, "To the Victor, goes the spoils." He gives the party their possessions. "Can you all help me with taking these Assassins to the lock up at the Longhouse?"
He will then look at Cham, "These five just took out a like number of Assassins that had managed to enter the Ramblehouse. Are you sure you want to lose the protection they can provide your establishment? "
Cham will look at Kurst then look down, "No. They can stay. But it will cost me 10 golds to replace these runners."
Anga casts detect magic on the assassin's gear. You never know.
Looking at the liquid blade Ulfgard wonders what those are."I have a feeling there is a rat in the half-orc house. But alas what do we know how to find it. Those stick together. Well I say first we check the troll, and then maybe we have to pay freedom-town a visit! Hrumpf... I am worth a fortune in beryls. Actually why beryls, where is a beryl mine here?"
Anga does not find anything Magic amongst the Assassins gear.
Let's take these...ladies for the start of their fun holiday...my mistake, their time in prison and then visit the troll. But Ah must say, I have use many of my spells, I only have one left. And me cantrips.
Day Four
First the body of the dead Assassin is given to other Town Guardsmen when you near the Longhouse. The body will be thrown over the wall to be devoured by the wild. Honored dead are cremated at the 'Flame of the Fallen' funeral pyre. This Assassin is truly not honored dead.
After you deliver the remaining half-naked Assassins over to the Longhouse jailer, Kurst invites everyone to breakfast. The cook was just starting breakfast when you first arrive. Mounds of scrambled eggs, sizzling bacon, a gruel made from dried ground corn with loads of whipped butter melted on top (grits), and various fresh sliced fruits and vegetables are served. You have a choice of the brewed Black Wine (coffee), the Local Stout, or fresh water from the Hopespring.
During breakfast Kurst suggest resting during the day, and tackle the Plaguehouse tonight.
Kurst, that seems to be the best approach that I can think of.
Anyone mind if I take one of these crossbow's, and some ammo?
Haskyll, looks at the others,
I will need a few minutes before we can take these ladies to cells.
After praying and preparing his spells for the day, Haskyll takes the time to sort the cash out evenly for everyone, along with gathering everything into one location.
A share of the spoils everyone
He then passes each a small bag of 2 Gold, 9 Silver, 12 Copper and 1 Gem.
Anga opens her spell book and memorised her daily spells.
"If'n we're goin' ta the Plaguehouse later, an' people want te visit markets n'such, we should be keepin' in pairs at the least. Someone's gunnin' fer us. No sense makin' it easier on em."
Ulfgard tries to find out what those potions are.
After breakfast, Haskyll attempts to identify any potions that haven't been identified yet.

How do these swords work? Also if it's alright I will take one of the crossbows and some bolts as well . Kaos will eat his fill ,taking time to wonder how even though he is so much bigger then the dwarfs but they can still eat almost as much as him. Then take up one of the liquid swords and try to figure out how to work it.
Ragnir, you are right, no making it easier, however, I think stopping by the market prior to going might be an idea.
There might be a thing or two that might come in handy.
Kaos, you unstopper, and flick your wrist and the blade comes out. However, the blade is breakable.
Kurst will ask the party if you have met Omast?
When the party figures out that one of the potions is Cure Light Wounds, you determine that all five are the same.
Thinking that each one should have a potion, even the cleric, Ulfgard looks at Kurst."Omast... nay laddy, we have been chasing around town all day."
Kurst will look at Ulfgard, "Omast may not further your investigation, but he was Rodrik's best friend."
"Well sounds like a plan for right after breakfast!"
Omast Frum is found this morning working on the South Tower of Trunau's inner wall. He is futilely trying to wash off the strange White Sword markings painted on the Tower. He has drawn a crowd. He is swinging wildly on ropes supported from above. He is also babbling loudly. What he is saying is incoherent. He appears drunk.
Well, I can see this ending badly
Indicating Omast.
The man will look down at Kaos, "Aarrrgh...I am busy. No time to answer your questions.....hiccup!
Looking around for a horse bucket or any other barrel the dwarf grabs the drunken and gives him a short dose of ice-cold water.
"Do you have time now? Or shall I explain the higher art of dwarven diplomacy to you again?"
Omast will look down at Uflgard confused, "I don't know any artful Dwarven Diplomats....hiccup."
Haskyll looks around for any hay wagons, or things that look soft.
Haskyll doesn't see anything suitable for Omast to fall in to.
You can tell that Omast can actually control the rope. How well he can control it may be another matter.
Cursing slightly to himself Haskyll looks over at the tall human.
Can you climb up there, and prevent him from killing himself ? While we three get ready to catch him.
Ulfgard just shrugs and prepares to catch the hanging man.
Omast continues to swab a mop futilely at the markings on the Tower. Then he suddenly stops, "I need a drink!" He releases the rope and comes down a little faster than he intended. Fortunately, Kaos and Ulfgard are there to help break his fall.
The Sergeant of the Town Guard falls to the ground. He gets up and falls again. "Where is that bottle of wine?" As he works to stand again.
"In the next tavern, on me, if you answer some questions first."
The Human Sergeant will look at Ulfgard, "Questions? Why will that dag-blame-it white cross not clean off the Tower?" He stumbles, but manages to catch himself.
How about we answer that at the tavern over an ale, you coming ?
