That night, he lays out a few choice targets – the Scroll of Web spell, and the potion of Levitation. Maybe someone will want to grab these? One is on a table by the window and fireplace. The other on a bedstool by the locked door. That covers all three entrances to the room.
He heads to bed for the night, but will stay secretly awake all night long. Meanwhile, Gilded Ears is outside of the inn, watching the window and that side of the inn. Perhaps we’ll see something there…
Shortly before midnight Alzar hears a gentle scratching from the chimney. Alzar waits, and then just opens an eye, under the covers . There in the chimney is a tiny female humanoid, about 1 foot tall, attired in a jellaba, and holding a picket basket. She takes a quick glance around the room and makes a few gestures up and moves a foot into the room. Another set of scampering can be heard, and then a man in a flowing black cape, one foot talk emerges as well. He pushes into the room, and then motions up and pushes out into Alzar’s room. Finally, a third figure falls, and this one is three feet tall, and is a king’s fool, or jester, and holding a nasty looking dagger.
Alzar mentally alerts Gilded Ears to move to get a line of sight on the chimney. Hopefully, they can follow these people back home. They move and take the Scroll and Potion and then retreat back out of the chimney. Alzar is not completely sure, but they remind him of the animated dolls they fought as they exited the forest.
