Wow! Fantastic news! Congratulations, and have a great trip!

P.S.: We’ll try not to get you killed in the interim.

Congratulations! No promises on the keeping you alive bit.

thank you all and dont worry, if you kill me i shall return in a new form. but try not, because next character wont be a thief.

Speaking of which, the party can tell me what Kaul is doing. I’ll only intervene if I think it’s something unreasonable.

Paging barkman!

Suggest Kaul grabs that leafy chest whole, shoves it in his backpack if it fits or carries it if it doesnt, and we can deal with it later. And maybe just lurk upstairs, either to backstab or escape out a window?

Okay, Kaul will do that. He has failed to open the other chest.

Looking at Kaul's inventory to determine what he can dump out of his backpack in order to steal the carved box has made me decide he has left some of his gear back at the inn, and didn't attempt to clamber up to the second story with all of it. Like his 10' pole. And his wardog.

Sorry, busy couple of days! I’ll be posting tonight.

Hoping to get a response from Dave R before the constable, Aramis, does anything more.

The last reference to his location I saw, Masov was standing in the doorway.

This list is to help me fix things in my brain; let me know if it’s wrong.

There exists a door to the carpenter’s workshop. There’s a bunch of people inside.

Masov is standing in that doorway or just outside.

The two deputies are standing to either side of the doorway, basically in melee range of Masov.

Kerrick is some distance away (perhaps 30 feet) but close enough to have been identified and see what’s going on.

Basically, yes. The "door" to the workshop is actually two larger, swinging doors, as on a barn. Almost the entire front of the workshop swings open. One of Aramis' companions stands in front of each door, facing out. Masov was standing in the "doorway" near the centre, with the right-hand door ajar, and motioned to someone inside, then moved out and closed the door. That was my understanding, anyway. We'll see if Koewn takes issue with that. And yes, both of Aramis' companions are withing melee range of Masov. The area where Masov and the other two are standing is directly in front of the doors, and under an overhang.

I also wanted to mention that I literally laugh out loud reading Hengist.

I am actually really enjoying playing Hengist, now that I've figured out a direction for him.  I'm not sure sometimes if he's on track for a long ride, but it should be a fun one.

I will be travelling the next few days. Look for me Wednesday or Thursday.

Acknowledging things could still go south with Aramis and his merry men, or we could still get more info here, should we start thinking about our next course of action as well?  Some options I see:

Follow up on Leland the Smith and Stephon the provisioner, given Neddy the carpenter seems to have been a hot tip.

Dungeon crawl under the Temple of Solis, with or without stealthy entrance.

Take rooms at the Silver Scale and try to ambush whoever comes for us in the night.  (I'd rather not bring trouble down on the Flock of Sheep.)

Call Hengist and Kaul's double homicide a job well done and get the heck out of town.

What else?

I particularly like the double homicide remark. Just wanted to say I'm going to try and post later today. I've been really under the weather the last two days with a stomach bug (or possibly the 40oz flu - we had our face-to-face session on Friday, and much mead was spilled).

Anyone know a good image hosting site? I can't seem to recover my Imagshack account that I've been using with them, and I'm annoyed enough to avoid them in future...

I usually use Imgur

So, regarding next steps, I'd generally promote hounding Aramis to the baron's so as to have our story told our way.

Unless, of course, Aramis' story includes the discovery and death of our elf in the shelf, in which case we should either swim for it or try and frame the elf for the whole thing.
