A Breather
The party runs the bar without too much incident for a week, it has been noticeably slow.

The Waterdeep Wazoo is delivered to the Bar & it's cover story is a scandal about Waterdeep nobility be in a devil worshiping cult.

Surprise Inspection
Soon a health inspector comes to the bar from the Taverns & Barkeep Guild. The human male says that he is inspecting several health complaints that came from the bar and needs to do a full investigation of the bar. Choo-Cha knows that this is not the same health inspector that was in the bar during the Grand Opening. When asked the human health inspector says that they have not inspected the bar before this, an error that is being rectified immediately due to the reported illnesses.

He determines it is the beer bought (the players actually stole it) from  Frewn's Brews  that is tainted and wonders how they obtained it and will launch an investigation into that.

The Arrest of Sowron
Nearing the end of the inspection Sowron is arrested by the city watch under the following charges: Waterdeep Arrest Rights are read: Sowron is hauled away to the holding cells beneath the Dock Wards Courthouse.

A Quick Trip to the Yawning Portal
Julian decides to go back to the Yawning Portal to make amends with Durnan for flaking on so many promised shows. Especially, since the last time Julian had cried about his experiences and convinced Durnan to let him headline one per tenday during a prime day going forward and he has already missed 2 shows. Julian forged a doctor's note from  Duke Dukerson , a supposed physician in the Sword Coast who wrote a note explaining why Julian was away for so long. Durnan skeptically accepts the note but expects Julian to play his next set or he will re-instate the steep entry price and bar him from play in the Yawning Portal ever again.
