I think it was either Horatio's pointy polearm or Akrah's musky embrace that knocked that guy out

Note that in the days you have been in the city, you get stares because many of you are out of the ordinary.  However, pilgrims are common and the law forbids harassment based on appearance (note this does not include the appearance of a banned flag or deity symbol).

One comment you hear from several merchants, guides, and such is about the constant winds from the north which batter the giant section of the city.  Jaswap is a city of stories (Tyrogatore prefers verbal history to writing).  The current popular one is that the dessert is angry about the encroachment of the buildings.

I love this.

Assuming the winds are why there are shutters on the north facing side of the hotel?

Esra does his best to keep a low profile and avoid engaging with the constables. He will be truthful if cornered.

How many Horarians are there? Kado + 3 unconscious + 1 deceased?

Esra pull a rope from his haversack, cuts it into appropriate length sections, and binds the 3 (I think) nameless, unconscious Horarians. I take 10 on each. Enhanced Use Rope check total is 33 (note that you get a default +10 to the check to bind someone per the PHB, which is news to me).

Someone else can load them on the floating disk. Once there, Esra connects all 5 of them together with another length of rope, including the manacled Kado and the corpse.

While binding, Esra searches and removes any items, pouches, or weapons.

Can any of our martial companions identify the tattoos on the unconscious/dead Horarians?

There were 7.  Kado, four that stood by him, and 2 that ran.  One is dead.

I thought the caltrop victim was teleported. So we have both of them?

Figment tell the story in great detail and says how he approached them and hoped he would become their friends but they they got scared and started running.  Which meant they probably weren't friends because why would they run so they must be the enemy.  So we hunted them down and brought them to justice and now we should share a meal of our enemies' dead and rejoice in our victory.

One fell into the caltrops initially, the other was teleported back into them.

Clarification on something I said about temples/ Shrines.  The temple of Treetop and the shrine to Habastly are both at the same place, called the Oasis.

I think when I was describing, I made it sound like there were two places in the city called the Oasis.

I mentioned the population is over 300,000; which is accurate.  There is a lot of disagreement among those who talk about it how much over that number is.
