Hobbled Doph was arrested recently for streaking through the village & sentenced to 4 weeks in the constable’s jail.
Lyra was seeking guidance at the shrine and spoke to a gnomish follower of Pelor who told her about the Sunless Citadel, the ancient cult within, and the rumour that they have been killing cattle of local farmers.
Just a few meters away, in a tree, Kronk was having a lively conversation with a squirrel about where to get something to eat. The squirrel informed him of a tree with great acorns, a nearby road that was formed by a dragon, and some goblins that would be visiting during the autumn equinox to sell a single apple. Then Kronk went to the tavern and had a BLT & some sweet tea before Lyra arrived and joined him.
The unnamed ranger watched all of this happen, stealthily keeping their distance, and entered the same tavern for a ham & cheese with some hot water to drink. At one point during the meal, they noticed the constable come inside, talk to the mayor at a table in the back of the tavern for a moment, and then leave.
During this time, Hobbled Doph was in his jail cell, always thinking, and managed to discover a past inmate’s cache of lockpicks. Although unskilled in thievery, the brilliant elf was able to pick the lock and escape out the back door, seen only by a group of 3 halflings who didn’t much care.
As soon as the constable notices, they will run back to inform the mayor at the tavern.
