As Grim races out the door of the inn to chase down the cleric, Tomoe walks out the door and cast another spell. Moments later, the Cleric drops like a rock laughing maniacally.
Inside the Inn Eadie, Ruprecht, and Lore are able subdue and defeat the men inside, they lay their weapons to the ground in surrender. Meanwhile Grim quickly and easily ties up the Cleric who eventually comes around and starts shouting and cursing at him.

Eadie examines the thug that Ruprecht slew. Woah … *Ru *
The warrior woman walks over to the alchemist.
“Ruprecht, you can be my wingman anytime!”
As Grimdoc re-enters the inn with the captive Razmiran priest …
“Ah, Grim, I see you’ve brought a guest for dinner. Remember, if you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding!”
As she begins to come down from the rush of combat, Eadie begins to feel some pain in her side, where one of the enemy morning stars got through her defenses.
She waves off any offers of healing, good-naturedly. “I'm pretty sure it’s just bruising. Broken ribs feel WAY more painful than this. With time, I’ll be just fine.”
“Lore, do you want a hand looking for lewt ?.. I mean our rightful rewards for a job well done?”
When Ruprecht takes the prisoners away, Eadie calls out to them.
“Be good Dumplings, we know where you live.”

Eadie thinks about any loose ends she might have forgotten in relation to the mission briefing.
She says to her fellow factioneer, “Ruprecht, is it fair to say we don’t seem to have done much to forward the agenda of Osirion this mission? Maybe the dwarven captives hold the key?”
To the dwarves, “Your Excellencies, we bring you greetings and salutations from Sapphire Sage, Amenopheus of Absalom, loyal servant of the Ruby Prince, Khemet III himself!”
She gestures at Ruprecht and looks over the dwarves. “I trust my colleague’s attempts to heal you and make you more comfortable meet with your satisfaction, given the circumstances. It will soon be time to sail off to Mendev so you can continue your mission.”
“But before we do … is there any information pertaining to the interests of the Ruby Prince that you have been able to gather, before your mission was … temporarily placed on hiatus?”

Grim works with Tomoe to tie up the priestess and drag her in. Once out of ear shot, he will confer with his team.
"We can lock em in a cell for a bit, but who can we take em to after? We can't just leave them here...not that they don't deserve it mind you."
He speaks to the dwarves.
"Once you are feelin up to the task, we want to hear a report about what happened and all. "

The Pathfinders find nothing of particular note on the Cleric or the thugs (other than the expected equipment of course). They spit on you and utter curses, but otherwise remain tied up.
Searching the Inn you find only the sisters, who act very surprised to see such destruction happening under their care.
The jail cells are mostly empty.
Greetings Eadie says one of the dwarves. We are thankful for your rescue. The Ruby Prince himself will be proud of you and your colleges actions.

Eadie is uncharacteristically philosophical. “If being evil was a crime, I suspect all the prisons on Golarion would be overflowing.”
“When I was younger I often wondered how reasonable, intelligent people and communities could succumb to organized, systemic evil like that found in Cheliax or Razmir. With more experience as a Pathfinder, I’ve stopped wondering … but am still shocked to find how widespread it is.”
She snaps out of it. Woah. Way too D&M.
She looks at the others and smiles mischievously. “So we paid for our rooms, but never actually slept in our beds, did we? Do you think the cost of our rooms could be put towards liberating a few bottles of wine or a keg of ale? We’ve still got a long boat cruise ahead of us to Mendev.”
