Grigori glares at the king and the merchants before following Arlette towards the exit. He doesn't say a word as he turns to join the head of the group, just lets out a small chuff of disdain.

Grigori, rather irate at the mention of secret dealings, speaks with animosity in his voice. "Oh no, not this again. Those deranged merchants fooled me once." He gestures to the merchants present. "They had me thinking I was simply collecting what's due or going where the law couldn't, but after som...

"Kai! Quit eating that bread!" Grigori barks, "First off your supposed to be standing watch. Second, I think there's something going on outside near where Kull was supposed to be. Hey King, what's your order?"

Hearing the mention of the merchants guild, Grigori pipes up and, almost shouting, says,"HAH! I knew those slimey bastards were no good!" Realizing what his outburst may suggest, he composes himself and continues, "Perhaps we could attend with you as added security, your majesty." DM do you need any...

DM I'll provide a roll just in case, but does Grigori hear the commotion in the hallway from the party's room?

Listen:
1d20-3

Grigori, now rather tired, announces his intent to return to the party's room and begins setting up his "bed" once again.

Grigori moves back to the party's room to retrieve and equip his shield.

With Kull's axe in his left hand and his own dwarven axe in his right, Grigori steps out into the hall (J10) and holds Kull's axe back towards Kai as though to do a baton pass. "Kai! You better hope the big guy doesn't mind sharing and treat this axe well!"

"Kull! Our weapons!" Grigori says before heading into the party's room for his axe located at M9.
