A First Terrible Date
Sowron took Jenny to the Arboretum to find that it is an overgrown from a decade of neglect. Gumplin did not have time to tend to this section of the Manor in the last tenday. Sowron discerned that many of the plants were in fact for arcane uses as well as fresh herbs for the tavern's kitchen. As Jenny & Sowron went walking through the garden Sowron spotted a Giant Flytrap, enough to digest medium humanoids easily. Sowron told Jenny and instead invited her back to his room. As they entered Jenny screamed as she saw Shumptha-wen, a dwarf aligned with the Xanathar Guild & whom Sowron asked to kill Vincent Trench earlier that night) dead laying on his bed. Sowron called Jenny down explaining that someone wants him dead, she left promising to still tutor him.

Sowron then went downstairs to ask Gumplin if he saw anyone go upstairs. Gumplin who is helping Choo-Cha get Gooz off the table has seen no one go up or down, but tells Sowron to ask Lif. Lif says he hasn't but asks if this is because there is a dead dwarf in his room. Sowron says yes & asks if he can help him look at the body.

As Lif looks at it he says he sees that the wounds are in fact claw marks from a Rakshasa & not from any conventional weapon. It was also done so subtly in order to make it look like Sowron might have done it. Sowron strips down Shumptha-wen, burnt his clothing & carried him to the Giant Flytrap in the Arboretum to feed his body to it to get rid of an evidence. Sowron spoke a brief memorial of what he calls his 'best friend' & Lif attended. Lif ended up thinking that Vincent Trench may actually be Rakshasa.

He then went to sleep, but not before blocking the door with a chair with a bell on it.
