That Night

Assassination

Shara disguises herself as N'lath, trying to get the PCs' trust either in her shop or after hours at the tavern. She will sell them a sleeping draught that will help them gain extra health if they use it before their next long rest- unfortunately it also gives them disadvantage on saving throws and ability checks for 8 hours.
N'lath also will be at the pub after hours. If the PCs haven't seen her yet she will still try to sell them the potions. She will also ask where they're staying, what she can do to help them, buy them all drinks, etc. If they don't buy the sleeping drafts she will attempt to spike their drinks.

Make sure to check if the PCs are staying in one room or separate.

When the PCs go to bed, they have a perception check DC 12 to notice something click when they lay down on their pillows. It is a gas release with a radius of only a couple feet, but the gas is a con save DC 13 or be paralyzed for 10 rounds, with a reroll at the end of each turn. Removing someone from the gas removes the effect at the start of their next turn outside the gas.
Shara is hiding outside the window(s). Once the gas traps go off, she slips into the room and attempts to assassinate the PCs one at a time while they are paralyzed.
