Constable Thorsdun headed in the direction of Lord Mallory's manor, but you lost sight of him after he passed 'round the corner of the ruined building across from the Silver Scale Inn, and the party stood discussing things for several minutes more before following. It's certainly possible he could have doubled-back without the party seeing him.
Anyone else going to respond to Hengist's suggestion to go back to the inn? I'm going to move things ahead in that direction tonight without another response.
No worries. I've had a bunch of stuff go haywire in the last two days, but there's post updating the status of the party up, as well as some PMs sent. Let me know what the next plan is once you've had a chance to regroup.
Yes, in the workshop thread I believe he secreted himself away behind a secret compartment; that all being OOC knowledge, obvs. Not sure if Kaul would have witnessed more, he was with him.
Kaul saw Gwydion find the compartment, but then left, if I recall correctly. Hardrada is actually away until Monday, I believe, which is why I haven't been pushing too hard. That's going to change when he gets back, as I'd like to get rolling a bit faster.

Yup. Assuming people follow, Kerrick will lead everyone to go engage in potential murder and revolt against the lawful authority of this town.

Strategy question for the group: I'm increasingly unsure what we get out of going back to the inn. If we've already been made and are being watched, I suspect we either get ambushed moving there or ambushed once we're there. At the very least we lose time before we open our Christmas presents and try to figure out our next positive step.
The carpenter's shop has the very obvious drawback of being our known location, but on the other hand it's reasonably defensible - room to ride a horse into, and a top story with shuttered windows to shoot out of. Even an exit over the palisade if necessary.
My suggestion is to move inside here, shut the doors, open packages, and hear from Gwydion. It's got that big obvious drawback re location and there's a real chance it turns into combat anyway, so I'm not planting my flag on it and I definitely don't want to spend a turn debating it in the street in character. So if even one person says "onward to the inn!" Hengist will follow, but that's my thought.
Great points. I think the company needs to investigate whatever is happening with Lord Mallory, so passing information at Ned’s probably makes that happen faster.
