"Not much. The red-haired feller looks after the 'orses. Used ter be squire ter the wench's 'usband. Seems like Lord Roote promised land ter the knight but o' course, 'e died an' t'widow were left wi' nothin'. Red seemed like 'e were bitter about it. I found three door. Main entrance what we come in, o' course. Then there's another by kitchens, near a big ol' pile o' firewood. An' after that, there's one by stables. Windows don't look safe. There's three bedrooms on top floor, four below that. Couldn't get in any of 'em."
He paused and rubbed his hand over his hair,. "Think that's the lot."

Later, at the hour of the ghost, the merry gang of bandits arrives to block doors and kill people.

Taero is asleep in his room, after having doing his usual preparations to make sure no one wanting an easy gold coin could sneak into his room and scalp him.

Harlan posted up in the foliage opposite the tavern, where he would have a good view of both the road and Warren’s Respite.

Tim gripped his spear firmly and prepared to follow Vex's orders. He was looking forward to taking control of the tavern, even though it was only for a short while. And this time it would be his turn with the whore.

Sigfry closed his eyes as he took in a few breaths, working to get his heartbeat a bit slower and not pounding loudly in his ears. He rolled his shoulders, and tilted his neck to the left and right, loosening up as he prepared, the dagger in his belt as he opened his eyes.
"Alright...you guys ready?" He asked, knowing that once this started, he needed to be fast and decisive. No hesitation, no second guesses, just straight action and pure instinct.

Boros unleashed Richard's hammer from his back, and made two consecutive clicks with his tongue in order tell his pups to follow him.
"Let's get this over with." He whispered to himself. Following with a quick prayer for the seven in his head.

At this time of evening the tavern was dead quiet, its patrons and employees likely asleep in their rooms. No lights could be seen on through the windows, though a single lantern hung burning above the front entrance, castling long shadows along the ground.
In one of the tavern's rooms on the second floor, Lucas found himself enjoying the winnings of his well placed wager, snug in one of the tavern's beds. He had, of course, been shackled by his captor to the headboard, but for a man with a death sentence on his head things could be worse. His aforementioned captor had pulled two chairs together in the corner of the room, propping his feet up in one to act as a makeshift bed in which he slept lightly.

Lucas had feigned falling asleep, but once it seemed his captor had succumbed to weariness he had quietly begun testing the strength of his bonds.

Vex motioned to Tim and Sigfry. "Go block the other two exits and meet at the stables," she whispered, and looked to Boros. "You're with me. Your hounds won't yap, will they?" she asked. From what she'd seen thus far, they were well-behaved enough, but she had to ask. She began looking around for a pole, a wooden plank or anything else that might be used for blocking the front entrance.
(44 Observation if needed)

Following orders, Tim went to find something with which to block the exit. He kept his wits about him in case of trouble.

Lucas had feigned falling asleep, but once it seemed his captor had succumbed to weariness he had quietly begun testing the strength of his bonds. A tug of the chains revealed that the headboard wasn't made of the strongest wood and wobbled. If Lucas put enough force into it, it would likely break. However, considering the jangle the chains made with that experimental tug, it was unlikely his captor would sleep through the racket.

(44 Observation if needed) Vex notices a barrel of rainwater by the door, positioned so that passing travelers could splash off the dust from the road before entering. As the door opened outward, she judged that if her and Boros moved it in front of the door it would effectively prevent escape. Following orders, Tim went to find something with which to block the exit. He kept his wits about him in case of trouble. Observation 35 Tim doesn't find anything he thinks could block the side entrance. There may be a cart in the stables that could do the job, but it was unlikely it could be moved in the dead of night without making a fair amount of noise.

Vex moved to the barrel to move it, and motined at Boros for help.
