Acid will take roughly 15 minutes or so to eat through, based on your guess.
There is nothing other than clothing on the headless body.
I will start the acid process since it will take 15 minutes or so and move on with the party.
Malcolm save the Acid for the Floor, there is no point taking damage right now. rememeber what happen when you tried to steal Tork Keys. When we confront him with the dead owner and Sacrem this will turn ugly. i know you want to find your sister but we need to get ready for Tork.
I will start the acid process since it will take 15 minutes or so and move on with the party.
That sounds good, let's move up to the room right above here, let Malcolm pour the acid and then start our search while it works. I'd bet we finish up in 15 minutes, regardless.
Once everything is settled, before we start sneaking around, I'll let the party know that I can feel this other presence, or whatever it is that was causing me to be so uneasy back in the tavern. Not to confuse things further, but that uneasy feeling is back... It's almost like someone is turning it on or off. I think I can figure out where it's coming from while we search...

No, if we're going to proceed with the acid, he'll wait.
I am just going to pour the acid since I figure it will take 15 minutes. While that is working, we will go find Tork and ask him some important questions.
Having made the collective decision, Malcolm checks his tools, gathers up his caltrops and the party heads upstairs to go place the acid in the aformentioned locale. In the meantime, Nemoris continues to close his eyes in consternation, unconsciously turning and facing up and north, but he follows the group.
The party pops out of the stairs through the shattered door to a different scene than before. Malcolm's line shines out illuminating the lounging form of the half-orc innkeeper, but the moonlight through the windows and the door makes it easy for all to see. Dressed in ranger's leathers that are cut and slit in odd places, he's draped across one of the metal tables. One arm holds a piece of meat to his mouth that he's idly chewing on and one leg hangs off the side of the counter. His other hand is resting on the top of Pad's head, drumming it slowly. The child is petrified, standing there quivering, as Tork in a casual, flippant manner (completely different than earlier) speaks. "Damn ... was hoping you'd bust down that door and save me a week or two of starving her out. Ah well, I've kept the charade up long enough, I suppose it can go a bit longer. Drunks are easy to fool, although the way you humans live in this civilized, structured life is horribly ... dull. Need to get out of here and get back to ..." he trails off, thinking, and then refocuses,"You five, though ... you probably need to go ... too many questions leading to too many half-answers. Anything to say before we add you to the compost heap?"
When you get upstairs, you realize the strong aura is Tork and the flickering aura is Pad. At the end of Tork's statement, you feel an urge to come to him that you easily suppress, but it surprises you with it's ferocity and it's suddenness, almost like he commanded you and your body answered.
If she is dead and you have caused me another dead end in my hunt for my sister, I swear to you now, the gods will weep when they see what I have done to you.

The half-orc smiles a your actions, but doesn't move. "I'm not ready yet, let's not get too hasty. We can still talk some things through, yes?". As he says this, Pad raises a knife to his own throat and holds it there drawing blood.

If no one other than Dalamus intends to pull up, ill need initiative from everyone. If you intend to stay your action, let me know
And magma is correct. Nemoris, need crit.confirmation roll from ya regardless if you stay or fire.
I'm also ok with waiting, but will attack if I sense any other auras moving, if Tork makes a hostile movement, or if Pad does anything else to harm himself.
Speak your piece but know if the boy dies, nothing will stop us from killing you, he's the only reason you're still breathing.

"It fills me with glee that you have no idea what I'm doing here ... this little trinket has worked so well," The half-orc sits up and reaches toward his face, pulling off the top half seemingly. His have shimmers and changes, the piece he pulled off turning into a small half-mask, which he tosses to the side. The half-orc looks frighteningly different now with multi-colored, tatoos and swirls, all flowing into each other and forming one predominant one on his forehead. His ears, nose, eyebrows, cheeks, lips, chin, shoulders and neck are all pierced with various bits of jewelry, most made of bone.
"A lovely young priestess asked me for her help one night as we lay awake in bed after a particularly engaging evening. She had a plan ... a very successful one I might add ... to relieve a certain do-gooder of his valuables. It worked along with my desire to take my domination of the jungles to the disgusting meat that tromped through this inn night after night. We both won." He finishes chewing on his food and reaches over to grab a flask of something to wash it down.
After Epik's statement, the barbaric half-orc shrugs and Pad lowers his knife. "Watch and learn, boy, if you live through this ... it will be your life some day."
I take that as we are done talking. ready my weapon
you are pretty ugly for half-orc. did they drop you on your head as a baby?
"Tork....What is your real name? If you are interested in ruling the jungle, surely you want to be known. Whom was this Do-Gooder...Did happen to be Annah Taskerhill?" (I know it's not, just trying to stir interest for him to talk more)
"Tork ... what is your real name?"
"You Cauldronites use my name and that of my father, and my father's father to scare children to sleep for 100 years. I'm a legend in these jungles thought to be nothing more than a story. I assure you, I'm very real and very much a horror." He smiles and takes another drink.

Dalamus will draw and fire his shortbow as previously stated. I had the into and attack rolls already posted.
In an explosion of motion, the world comes alive. Malcolm screams and fires at Tork winging him in the shoulder as he drinks down, Nemoris lets fly a pair of arrows missing twice as the door at the top of the stairs bursts open and a pair of hill baboons enter, howling and hissing led on collars by the two barmaids from earlier.
Tork leaps up on the counter in a rage his body blurred in its movement by some magical protection, "Fools, you could have worked yourselves a life of immortality, instead you're destined to become just another victim of Tongueater!" and with that, his body and that of the 2 barmaids changes shape, twisting and growing. His nose elongates and grows vicious fangs, hair sprouts from all over his body and claws extend from his lengthened arms. His face grows blue and red tissue under his nose and along his cheeks. Half-baboon, half-orc ... he roars and a massive falchion appears in his hands.

Scratch that attack Tike....Now that I have seen where I am on the map, I will drink the potion of invisibility and try to get behind Tork for a backstab attempt.
I still think I would have attacked before Tork did anything, if the auras were moving at all, but that's alright. You can move through an allied occupied space if they are willing, correct?
In case there isn't a quick reply or I can't get back online and update:
My goal is to move myself out of melee range and attack Tork again, just a single arrow, unless I can move out of melee range with a 5 foot step (if Dalamus moves I think I can take his spot). If I can't do that without provoking an attack of opportunity then I'll have to re-evaluate.
