He then starts looking around for Rirrinishk, who, last night, had shouted Ecmund’s name from across the room.
The dining room of The Canopy's Rest is sparsely populated this morning. A quick look at the morning's patrons does not turn up Rirrinishk.
“I wonder where Plumed Dwarf hides...” He mumbles as he starts scanning the area. If he is unable to visually locate the Dwarf, Pixel starts asking around for him (serving wench, innkeeper...)
Tover tries to recall did Ecmund have any type of butler or entourage with him or did he meet us solo then left to talk with the other person? [Tover] asks the server “did Ecmund perhaps order room service?”
Inva will walk up to the innkeeper and ask about our new Dwarf friend and if he has been down this morning or if there was a wake-up call. If they do not know he will talk to a barmaid since they tend to talk between the shifts.
Ecmund is definitely not present downstairs. Tover's memory of the previous night's events is that Ecmund met with you by himself; you think he had no other companions, but you are not certain.
As the server takes away some of the empty dishes he responds,
“I'm not aware of anybody ordering room service, but maybe someone else took an order up. I'm not involved with wake-up calls”
When Pixel and Inva talk to the innkeeper, he is a little more helpful,
“Oh, Ecmund! No, no room service or wakeup call, but that one parties hard and sleeps harder. He is rarely down before noon.”
