Well, this took a while to put together. Conversation overshoot: Wall of text incoming!
Turn 10I search the tavern for informative billboard postings and loose change.
| There is no billboard here and your search for change also comes up empty. You try the next best thing: Catch a glimpse at the barkeepers newspaper. However, you are not a good upside-down reader and only catch the name of it and the main headline: It is "The Hammerite Herald" and the top story is titled: "new reliquary consecrated"
I search for entrances into alcemy store, in shadows and sneaking
| You examine the alchemy store. Only the front door is accessible from the street, but probably locked and illuminated by a streetlight. You don't find an open window either, but an ornate steel gate in a high wall right next to the store catches your eye. You can see a herbal garden behind it and reason that the best chance to get inside would be through there.
Sit down with the drunk man and start asking him questions about the Hammerites, the curfew, and why all this exists. Ask him if there's a Cathedral in town, and what is known about it. After all this chitchat, relay what I find out to the others who are still around here, then go find a spot where I can sneak out of the tavern, maybe an open window or something, and sneak out.
| You walk over to the drunkard and ask politely if you may join him. He grunts and you take that as a yes. Only after you asked about the Hammerits, he looks up and suddenly becomes more active. As good as he can in his state, he tells you his story: He was a Hammerite acolyte and all went well until the priests brought in a mysterious artefact. A small gemstone called "The Eye". They stored it away in their vault that he happened to guard that night, but the next morning, it was gone! It was quickly found though, hovering over the high altar of the cathedral. Nobody believed him as he testified that he was guarding the vault all night and accused him of either falling asleep during watch or putting it over the high altar himself as some sort of bad joke. They brought it back into the vault that day, but next morning it was again hovering over the altar. Then they cast him out for incompetence. He states that this "Eye" is cursed. The priesthood has since then constructed a reliquary around that thing and cast powerful magic to secure the reliquary and to prevent the Eye from ever being moved again. Despite his effort to reaffirm that he was neither sleeping on the watch nor that he was the one responsible for these events, they have not allowed him to rejoin their ranks. After he is finished with his story, you thank him, offer him another beer, which he refuses as he is feeling a little bit better now, seeing that at least one man in this city believes him. You stand up and leave the tavern.
sneak into tavern and pickpocket, as a free action i dispel the void blades.
| You easily dismiss the illusory void blades and sneak to the tavern. You could try to pickpocket a hammerite patrol on the way, but think better of it. You successfully arrive at the tavern unseen and join the others inside.
Try to pick the lock again!
| You try again and again you fail. This time you realize, that the room could either be empty, which also means probably no loot, or it could be occupied, in which case the owner better be asleep or he might be upset at you for trying to steal his stuff.
{AI: 5} I gather shirts for the team.
| You try to pick up another seven shirts for the team. The effort is noble, but difficult. The stack of shirts is not easily transportable and you need to devise a better method than to stack them on top of each other forming a rather unstable tower.
Grow beard of manly awesomeness.
| You sit down at the table with Paranatural and the drunk man. While listening to their conversation, you try to grow a beard. You grow a beard anyway, because you are a dude, but you cannot let it grow faster than anyone else.
Find a jewelry store
| Despite the hammerite paladin being only an arms length in front of you, you decide to just walk away.
| He still cannot see you but he can hear you! He follows the sound of your footsteps. You go around the weapon shop again but stop before entering the lightcone of another streetlight. You do not find a jewelry store yet,
| but instead spot another paladin on the main street slowly heading your way.
Try to find another exit to the sewer
| It is completely dark in the sewers, so you expand your arms to feel both walls of the tunnel at the same time. You walk along the slowly bending tunnel until you feel a ladder. You climb up and open the hatch.
| It is located directly under a streetlight, but no patrol is near. You quickly exit, close the hatch and dive back into the shadows.
