The trio didn't get to relax in the inn for long, unfortunately.  A few hours after sunset, there was a sudden rush of activity outside, followed shortly by the town's alarms going off, calling all of the militia to action.  There seemed to be a large commotion from downstairs as well; not the sound of an attack, but definitely a rush of people with important things to say, and none of them willing to let the others have time to talk.  From upstairs however, it was impossible to tell what they were saying.
