Norzak walks into the Inn. Slowing at the door he spies the interior, and liking the looks of the fireplace, he walked over and sat at a chair, with his back to the wall, giving him a good view of the interior of the Inn.
Soon as a host approached he says "I'll have a pint an keep em coming. Better be better n tha last place I had an ale" and slides a few coins across the table to the waitress. He looks around the Inn for a blue cloaked man.

The serving girl seems repelled by Norzak- although whether due to his race or simply his poor hygiene, it's hard to tell. She hangs back a bit, not coming too close to him as he orders his drinks. Taking the coins , she quickly fetches Norzak a pint of ale. The stuff's a tad weak by Dwarvish standards, naturally, but it's pretty good for these parts.
As Norzak looks about, he spots a blue cloak hanging on an empty chair near the bar.

Léon waits a few minutes outside..Still wondering what he is really doing there.
Now let's hope I do not make a bad impression.
As he enters the Inn, the caliban tries his best not to attract too much attention. He chooses a seat near the fireplace where he can watch the fiddler and look at who's inside the Goats.
Sitting on his undersized chair, Léon raises his hat to the serving girl.

The serving girl looks at Leon, blinks, then nods and speaks:
''Allo, m'siuer. What will it be for you tonight''. She has a pronounced Richemuloise accent, quite different from the way folks in Dementlieu speak the language.
She seems like she's just a little bit frightened of Leon, but is taking it rather well. She's not shaking, just a little pale.
You'll notice that Norzak is sitting near to the fire. Seeing him in better lighting , he looks like he needs a bath [smells like it, too].
An old fiddler is seated near the fire, as well. He has now stopped playing and set down his fiddle. A serving boy brings him a glass of wine and some food [cold ham, sliced thin and glazed with honey- also some kind of whitish cheese and black bread].
The other patrons [the place is about half full, you'd say] are studiously ignoring the two non-humans in their midst [Leon and Norzak] and amusing themselves by drinking, playing cards or dice, and telling jokes and stories. Most are dressed in the garb of common laborers and tradesmen, with a few well dressed [but not too flashy] fellows mixed in. Several women are present. Many of these women are busy flirting with the better dressed patrons or else trying to wheedle free drinks from the obese man tending bar.
Leon will also notice an empty chair at the bar with a blue cloak hanging from it.

Bennedict is still turning the dark stone over in his hands, thoughtfully, as he passes through the door of the tavern. Looking around, he spies the dwarf and caliban, sees the blue cloak, and sees that the dwarf and the calliban see the blue cloak.
Deciding that disgression is often the better part of valor, he finds a table and sits down, trying to avoid calling any attention to himself until he knows what's going down at the bar.

A few minutes after Bennedict enters the tavern, a man comes in from outside and walks over to the bar. Big fellow, and well dressed, too. He's a bit unsteady- tipsy, perhaps? He orders a cup of wine and downs it in one long gulp, the wine dripping into his bushy black beard and onto his tunic. He then sits down in the chair with the blue cloak hanging from the back. He removes his belt and hangs it over his knees. Hanging from it is a long poignard in a leather sheath.
He's talking with the bartender, but the noise of the tavern makes it hard to catch what he's saying from where you all are seated. Perhaps if you strain your ears......

The door swings open, and Cirdan enters the scene again...
He walks straight to where Bennedict and the others sit.
"Sirs and ogre, I come from escorting lady Evangeline to her home.
Tomorrow, Monsieur Sancerre will receive me for an audience where we
will discuss the circumstances of this kidnapping matter. It is my perception,
Sirs, that you share my interest in this affair, and thus I hereby ask you to assist me tomorrow."

Norzak eyes Cirdan in complete astonishment. He looks first to Bennedict then to Léon then back to Bennedict and scowls. Shaking his head, he looks Cirdan straight in the eye. "Ok, thanks for sharing that with everyone else in here as well, elf." "I can't believe he said that, in here, in front of alla these people. Like the blue cloak won't know who we are now? Bah!" Norzak mumbles to himself. He looks to the others, ignoring Cirdan "Well it looks like we won't be able ta do much tanight asides drink a few pints a course." Looking to Cirdan he says "Make sure those people in the far back heard ya too, ya dolt!" He downs his tankard and gets the attention of the waitress, pointing to the tankard. "I hope she ain't so daft she won't get me meaning."

Bennedict watches the man at the bar carefully, watching for a reaction to the noise. For a moment he wonders if the dwarf had bothered considering that a deep, roaring, angry dwarven voice carries through a crowd much better than the voice of an elf who is merely making conversation.
"Did you learn anything else of note?" he asks Cirdan. "It strikes me as odd that this man would wish to carry on with this, unless of course he was concerned that the threat against his daughter had not truly passed. Unless of course he's trying to get some measure of revenge, which doesn't sound like an entirely pleasant option either."
Bennedict's voice trails off and he stares down at the table, wishing he had a drink and enough sense to go home instead of continuing to dig into whatever was going on here.

The serving wench comes out from behind the bar, a tall mug in either hand. She lifts them up and looks at Leon, then at Norzak.
''I'm coming m'siuers. Here are your drinks.''
She hurries up and sets the drinks down at their respective tables, first Norzak, then Leon is served.
The blue cloaked man seems to have heard neither Cirdan nor Norzak, but the bartender may have- because he's staring at Norzak. He whispers something to your suspect, who quickly gets to his feet, grabs his things, and hops over the bar! He's making for the door to the kitchen!

The blue cloaked man is opening the dooor to the kitchen with at least two of the party in hot pursuit!
