After the meeting, Hobnob and his crew went to their work station at the stables and worked on traps and finishing The Obstacle Flattener for a while. They then went to bed at 10 in the evening, woke up at 8 in the morning, and had breakfast in their work area. They didn't leave before Kayden got up. In fact, they didn't leave at all.

"Alright you lot, fall in. If you've all finished your breakfast, it's time for the roll call!" Hobnob called out to the rest of his crew, who were scattered about the area they had set up shop in after their arrival at the guild hall. Once the crew had fallen in, Hobnob began the roll call. "Tiny" Hobnob called out.
"Here" Tiny called back.
"Dr Diminutive" Hobnob called out.
"Present" Dr Diminutive called back.
"Titch" Hobnob called out.
"Here" Titch called back.
"Shortstack" Hobnob called out.
"Here" Shortstack called back.
"Pint-Sized Pat" Hobnob called out.
"Here" Pint-Sized Pat called back.
"Small Benjamin" Hobnob called out.
"Here" Small Benjamin called back.
"Smaller Benjamin" Hobnob called out.
"Here" Smaller Benjamin called back.
"Smallest Benjamin" Hobnob called out.
"Here" Smallest Benjamin called back.
"Big-As-A-Dwarf Barry" Hobnob called out.
Big-As-A-Dwarf Barry grunted affirmatively in response.
"Alrighty then!" Hobnob said "I gave you all your jobs when we started work yesterday, so let's get back to it!".

Hobnob's crew split up into 3 groups of 3. Small, Smaller, and Smallest Benjamin all set to work on preparing traps for the coming job. Dr Diminutive, Pint-Sized Pat, and Shortstack set about making the necessary defenses against any and all dark magic/vampiric trickery Strater could bring to the table. Tiny, Titch, and Big-As-A-Dwarf Barry worked on The Obstacle Flattener to get it up and running for the job. Hobnob himself sat at a makeshift desk to pour over a large stack of blueprints and occasionally got up to supervise the work done by the rest of his crew.
