I ready my rapier and light my hooded lantern.

The lantern flares to life, revealing a simple, two-man room. A pair of beds stand against each wall, and a single wardrobe sits against the wall between them. There is a small table with a pair of partially burned candles and two chairs. There is also a small wash basin on the table as well. Other than that, the room is empty.

I lock the door and open the wardrobe.

I take a closer look at the beds, looking for anything hidden.

Hraefn saw that three of his companions had left for the Ministrel. Merriweather had disappeared, off about his own business, no doubt. Neither could he speak for ranger Etna’s intentions. More comfortable in less civilised company, Hraefn headed back to where they had left their horses and wagons and entourage, fully intent on spending the night on his wagon instead, nestled within in the form of an owl.
As was his usual practice, he set aside a small store of his healing berries, before meditating to rest, recover and recharge for the next day.

A careful search under one of the beds reveals that along the right wall are a pair of loose boards. Inside, you find a small carry pack.

I take the contents of the bag but leave the bag itself. I then leave.

You carefully replace the satchel and boards, then quickly exit the room. You peer out, watching some passers-by, then dart back across the open space between the tavern and rooms. As you return to the taproom, you see the fellow who you took the key from, head down and passed out at a table. His friends are still around him, singing loudly in an (unsuccessful) effort to match the tune of the bard.

Bram, wearing a puzzled look but not making any reference to what he seemed to have overheard, steps up to the counter and smiles at the young woman. "Do you have any single rooms available? There may be one or two others of our party coming fairly soon but I prefer a room alone." Bram fishes around in his belt pouch and pulls out a gold coin and sets it deliberately on the counter. "For the room and breakfast. And if it's enough, let it cover the next gentleman who comes in. He looks rather natural if you catch my meaning."

"Of course, sir. That will be 2 gold for the rooms, and two silver for your breakfast." the girl replies. "Or four silver, if you wish to pay for your friend's meal as well, sir." she adds.

Taking your coin, she turns around and fishes out a room key. It has a leather strip with the number 18 etched into it.

"You can access the upstairs by going outside and to your left. There are stairs at the corner of the building. Or, through these doors, through the taproom and dining area to the back hallway, where you will find stairs leading up as well." she says, gesturing to the double doors leading to the interior of the inn.

After a few more drinks and an hour or two more of watching the revelries, Etna suddenly realises she is alone. Her companions nowhere to be found. She wanders outside. Watching as her breath unfurls in wispy clouds in front of her in the sobering night air, the ranger makes her way down the street to the Minstrel, nearly stumbling over a few loose cobbles on the way there. Rosy cheeked and bleary eyed she makes her way to the counter and composes herself. "Room for one, please, if you would." Handing over her gold coin, she scoffs silently to herself about the price of the room, then decides that she might need a night in luxury if they will be heading into the thick of it in the coming days.

The girl behind the desk smiles and nods, turning to retrieve a key. It is a standard skeleton type, with a thin piece of leather attached to it. Etched into the leather is the number 15.

"You can access the upstairs by going outside and to your left. There are stairs at the corner of the building. Or, through these doors, through the taproom and dining area to the back hallway, where you will find stairs leading up as well." she says, gesturing to the double doors leading to the interior of the inn.

"Breakfast begins an hour before sunup, should you desire to partake. Normal meals are for an additional 2 silver pieces."

Anything else anyone want to do before retiring for the night? Once we cover our things you wish to do, we will progress the thread.
