"I don't know. It was here when I walked in."

They run up stairs, you hear thudding and then something heavy being dragged across the floor. Then a few elven vulgarities, something heavy being pushed back, this process continues for about five minutes before they come back looking nice and composed. They ask for the 3 silver pieces for the night.

I give them the silver pieces, looking at them with a concerned expression. "Are you okay?"

Flustered they say "Fine, fine."

They then pass you a small iron key.

I nod, taking the key. I'm not convinced, but won't push it. "Thanks."

They dart away the moment you take the key, they head up the stairs and some shouting ensues they come back down with something wrapped in fine leather.

I watch this, internally questioning what is happening. The confusion on my face is very visible.

She does seem to calm down and doesn't seem to look as maniacal, they even tell you to enjoy your stay.

I nod, and briskly walk off to my room.

So you are here it is roughly three or four and it recently rained

I would like to point this out, it isn't too late, nor was it heavy rain.

The room does seem to be nice and small and descently kept, a window in with the slant of the roof, there is a small bed in the corner near the door. An unlit lantern hangs from the ceiling.

I nod, sliding my backpack under the bed. I keep my dagger and money on me as I leave the Inn.

...The what?

I walk around the town, getting an idea of where everything is.

I probably misspelled it or misused it (If I am correct it means the area underneath a bed)

The town is pretty small with about 40 people in it. There isn't much new to note.

Thank you for the clarification. I didn't know if it was a 3.5 term I didn't know, or if I was being dumb, or what.

I sigh, as the town seems almost boring. But I head into one of the nearby shops. (You can choose which one. )

As you walk for the herbalist's shop (Poisons?) you notice a tattered piece of blue paper with silver writing, well not writing just the image of an eye.

I pause for a moment before walking in.

There is a sweet old lady perched behind the counter, the walls are filled with jars and jars and jars of herbs. There are a few jars containing various berries. There are few pots growing suspicious plants.

Anytime anyone says suspicious, this plays in my brain.

Yes, I do have problems. 

Also, my 5e druid would love this place.

I look at some of the suspicious plants with interest.

One of them gives you the intense feeling it is looking back.

You hear a cackle from the desk, "Oh, that's just Jerry, poke him if he is a nuisance."

I turn. "The plant's name is Jerry? What kind of plant is it?" I ask, legitimately curious.
