"oh I love this song!" Elara exclaims, and joins in the dancing with the crowd, being sure to appear just drunk enough to get away with stumbling and falling onto one of the "drowÔÇØ.

She makes a show of being unable to find her feet and gropes the man's pockets while she tries to get back up, hopefully subtley...

Sleight of hand: 1D20 + 4 = [7]+4 = 11

Balls. Well, I guess she doesn't find his pockets...

Actually, can she make a perception check on them while she's all up-close and personal too please?

If so:
Perception: 1D20+2 = [9]+2 = 11

Hmmm... Those aren't good rolls, these must be quite important folk...

Imarial, not having seen the two figures excuses himself as the noise becomes too much, and he goes for his room, to read in a more quiet environment.
*Sorry, just wanted him to leave "in comment"

ÔÇ£I will try my best sir...ÔÇØ Thedor says and starts playing.
As the crowd takes to the more open space of the room, both Bob and Elara gets up.
Bob starts helping at the bar, hurling drink after drink over the counter.

Elara goes with the appearance of wanting to join the dancing and festivities.
"Oh I love this song!"
she says and starts to move, in a less than coordinated dance pattern.
Coming closer to the two ÔÇ£drowÔÇØ she notes that they are obviously already drunk, she takes her chance, make a dive for it, pretending to fall over.
ÔÇØ Excuse me!ÔÇØ the man exclaims as she lands on him, she does not manage to snatch anything from him, but she does note that he tries to do the same to her! Not a bad move, and had he not been drunk she is sure he had gotten away with it.
This one is obviously adept at picking pockets, so some kind of thief maybe?

The man seems to have noted Elaras attempt too, and he looks at her with a mixture of surprise and annoyance, luckily Bob was keeping an eye out. [passive perception = success]
Just as the man gets up, raisin a finger about to yell bob sweeps in with a mug of ale for both the drow  On the house no fighting today, lets have a party instead he says gesturing to the music and dancing people, allowing Elara to make her silent exit.

Thedor makes sure not to end the music to early, but after a some extra minutes he finish up, gives a small head nod and says ÔÇ£My apologies to you all, but I need to adjust my reed lest I start squawking like a stuck goose...thank you all for listening"
Thedor sits down again. Applauded from the audience, he even receives a few extra copper, and of course the promised vine bottle.

Cursing herself quietly for taking such a risk, Elara excuses herself with a faked slur.

"Too much drink for me tonight, Bob! I think I'll get some fresh air."

Elara slips through the crowd and heads outside.

Thedor sighs inwardly.
Bad tactics there...He thinks inwardly,
but waits and watches the room, drinking some of his wine and making friendly small talk with those around him.
Thedor waits to see if either of the two "Drow Boys" follows Elara out...

If so, then he follows one or more of them out without trying to be noticed by the other...
Stealth: 1D20+5 = [11]+5 = 16

If not, then he'll work his way out the back somehow to circle around to intercept Elara outside

Both of the "drow" does get up after a few minutes, but they go each their way, one out the front door (the one Elara "fell" into. the other out the side door. Elara took the back door. All three leads outside.

I'll use your stealth roll, but need to know your action before I can respond...

She can.
In fact both her and Thedor can see the one who went out the side door, looking out the backdoor you can see he moves north trough the city. at
At first he is dodging from shadow to shadow, then a few hundred feet down he looks over his shoulder. Apparently satisfied he walks out on the main road and continues north. (still visible from your position)
The other "drow", who left via the front door does not cross your sight.

Elara watches him move to the main road then follows, nodding to thedor that she's going that way and hoping he will find the other one.

Stealth: 1D20 + 4 = [15]+4 = 19

Thedor just sort of stares after her for a moment,

He just slips into the shadows to see if she picks up a tail...

@Thedor:
Seeing Elara going north, decides to try and spot the other runaway "drow" but doing so in the shadows.

De does manage to capture a glimpse of the man, he's going east, out of the city, but there he mountes a horse and quickly rides off.
Please make a perception roll.

@Elara.
Elara does a little game of cat and mouse, following the other "drow"
She manage to follow him unseen to a small building near the north end of town. Here he knocks on the door and holds something up, before being let in.
(if you wish to try and see what it is he presents to the door man, first make a new stealth roll to move closed, the a perception roll for details)

Nah, she's already been too bold tonight. She'll wait for him to go inside then watch the building, trying to see if anyone else goes in or out, and what they look like (and if there are sentries).

Perception: 1D20 + 2 = [14]+2 = 16

Let's go with that.

Thedor throws a look after the horse, but he can't really see anything interesting at this distance.
Seeing as it was not even his goal, he'll not put anymore effort into it, in fact he would rather find some... Entertainment...
Such is available of course, but not the free kind, only at the price of one electum and five silver...

Elora decides enough risk is enough, and stays behind her cover and look.
A short hour goes by before anything happens, and at that point it's only someone bringing out garbage from the nabouring building.
Nothing seems to happen...

The hour grows late, and if you are to be ready for the mornings long escort, you better get some shut-eye...

Okay... Unless you guys will be talking in the bat, this is where we pause.
Next up: tonight's session!

Thedor thinks that the local...ladies of virtue...are a bit expensive for a one cow town, and really just heads back to go to bed...

Elara gives up her watch, making note of the building and heads back for some rest.

Okay..
To recap..

You guys awaited the lord, but to no prevail.

Traveling the road to his keep you were assaulted by two men, disguised as drow. (same men as in the inn)

After a quick battle you found out that they were to stop you guys, and then bring a spell component pouch to "a little cave" meeting place...

Thedor in hte mean time was off exploring and has now returned to you.

This between game game will count as a "short rest" anc covers roughly 1 hour in game time. you may use a hit dice to heal if you need so.
and you may talk, eat, and exchange items/spells or what you need.. next session you'll start back at the road, it will be noon in game.

the items you found were:
2 necklaces with gold/copper coins, a motive of a man with slit throat and wrists.
8 gold.
2 daggers
2 spears
a luxury spell component pouch, filled with rare and potent magical components for spells or rituals.

Did i miss anything?

Edit: oh, yes.. you each get 125xp
