Subject Turn
I am going to be working on getting a turn out today. My computer at work had a glitch yesterday that kept me from accessing some files I needed. That glitch is fixed today so I am getting caught up with some stuff then I will write a turn.

Between Ragnar and Harp, Harp and Kal were able to be healed all the way up before they slept.
Except for Harp's curse.

We will deal with that after we rest. Ragnar has Remove Curse on his spell list.

As the party gets ready to return to bed for the night they decide to take care of the body before they turn in. Mund climbs back up into the room and hands the body down, trying not to make too much noise. Not that that is a real problem. The Screeching Eel seems to be a bit more boisterous tonight than usual. The hallways are filled with yells of drunken revelry and the screams of ladies' of the night being chased down the halls and into rooms. Several times the sound of drunken people trying to get into the party's room wakes up whoever is sleeping closest to the door. When the body is down Mund hauls him up like he is drunk and coves him with a blanket. He then takes him down the back stairs and out the back door of the inn. Four blocks over he dumps him in the sewer and gives the body a good kick in the face before he leaves.
Everyone is almost asleep when Mund gets back to the room and he notices that he has been left the bed by the door. Damn. He settles in again, trying to get some sleep. The next couple of days are likely to be busy.
As Ran heads back to the inn after his night shift, he is surprised to run into Surin, who is also heading back. They chat briefly as they enter the Screeching Eel. They are a little surprised to see only Harp sitting in the common room. He signals them over and fills them in on the night's occurrences. "Ran" he says. "I do not know exactly what Salix wants to do, but I would think you would need to get some sleep. From what I can tell, this is the quietest part of the day. If Surin is willing, I'd like his help running a small errand." Ran nods and heads up to the room. He quietly takes off his gear and slips into one of the empty beds. He is quickly asleep.
Surin finds that Harp is unusually quite this morning. The 1/2 orc leads him through a rougher part of town that is quiet at this time of the morning. It takes Harp a few tries to find the alley way but when he does he moves right to the pile of garbage and starts pulling out sets of armor. He hands some large studded leather suites back to Surin and soon the halfling is a stack of bloody leather. "Come on Harp, give me a break. You're the strong one of the group" Surin complains. Harp turns and realizes what he has done. He takes most of the pile, grunting with effort. Surin is shocked. He had seen Harp lift much more than this without effort. "What happened last night?" Harp sighs and tells his story.
An hour latter, thanks to Surin's quick thinking, Harp is pushing a wheelbarrow down a street. It has a tarp over it and looks like it might be some type of vegetable. Surin leads Harp to the spot where he knows he will meet Jimmy. When the young boy pops out of the shadows Harp jumps with a start and Jimmy laughs at his discomposure. Surin works a quick deal with Jimmy takes control of the wheelbarrow. As the boy leaves Surin tells him "We will be back later this afternoon to pick up the stuff and maybe some more things we need. Let the Upright Man know that tonight is the night. My whole group will be here." Jimmy nods and heads off into the warren of streets.
Surin and Harp head back to the Eel. It is now mid morning and the others are starting to get out of bed. Ran had gotten about 3 hours of sleep.
OODM: You can discuss your plan.

At some point during the discussions, Ran intejects the only information he gained while on his shift the previous night.
"Given what occurred here last night, I'm not sure this is relevant but I'll share it anyway. It seems that there is access from the family side of the basement into the building that Harp was in loading weapons the other day. I'm sure that this is how they got the Stormfather out of the basement without anyone noticing. Not that anyone in this godsforsaken town would say or do anything anyway."
