So what is supposed to happen if they warn Ramyla without visiting the Dripping Wall?
Circumstances:
-The safe contains a Feather Token, Bird. They got the code in round 4 with a Heal check.
-They track Ilchok to Brandur's cottage, and find the target list.
-My players decided that Timinic was the most important target on the list, so they're going for the safe house... but they know that Timinic's notes say that there was a request for increased security at the Dripping Wall, and that Ramyla is also a target. So they send a message via Feather Token, Bird saying "Brandur and Bosk have been poisoned, you're on the target list, too. Trust no one." And then head to the safe house at like 11:10.
What I ruled was that the bird took 5 mins to get there, she read the note, diced a 19 on her Will save against Ilchok's Read Surface Thoughts, made the Knowledge (Local) check the PCs would have needed to get an idea where the safe house was from the letter, went to the back room for something, and slipped out the back. I gave her a 10 min head start on Ilchok, since everything is in 10 min intervals, and figured that he'd catch her at about 12:15 when she slows down and tries to figure out exactly which house is the safe house.
The party at that point had gotten Timinic, decided that the safe house wasn't, and were taking him to get Ramyla from the Dripping Wall, so ran into them in the street and fought Ilchok there.
Is there another way that I should have run this?
