Wanderer will follow Zelsh to the tavern.
((Uh… I think Leafia said she’d be fine to have the party reconvene at the tavern; not that Zelsh would get there.))
Zelsh heads to the tavern.
well there’s your answer
(He was heading there anyway.)
((On one hand, Amelia appears to be not present. On the other hand… I really want us to look like a mafia gang, and in order to do so, I want Lionel to talk first.))
well I’m present for a bit rn but I do have work soon (late shift ew)
he is godawful at bluffing and intimidation so
you may want to reconsider
((
))
((I guess Drakor and Arius will do the talking then?))
((You have a buff human and a half-orc next to you. You don’t even need to roll for intimidation; the scenery/imagery alone is cool enough.))
“You mentioned that you were looking for someone…any luck?”
(cool but what even is the plan anyway)
“Not yet sadly.” Zelsh replied.
(Oh wait i missed that)
“If it wouldn’t be a problem, could you tell me about this person and the circumstances they went missing under?”
((Well, there is the odd happenstance where a baron spent a lot of money here, so there’s that.))
((Aside from that, Arius was simply interested in what sort of books were present, but that’s a personal interest.))
((Question: What does the “Other” section have then?))
(I was thinking we look through the sections to identify what the baron bought)
(Drakor thinks asking around overtly might raise red flags)
“…like the only language he knows is coin. Doesn’t he understand…”
“…paid a personal visit to Amélie’s Auberge, asking her about her business.”
“Amélie the Galtan ? Does he want to lose his head?”
“No, no, she left because she wanted to keep her head, I think. It’s so hard to keep track of, you know…”
“…heard he has a man in New Stetven reporting to him over Scry.”
“Well, that makes sense. If I could Scry, I’d want to keep an eye on the politics—”
“Supposedly he’s not even asking about politics! He’s trying to find out what’ll sell best if he ships it down the river!”
“…back in Taldor, people understood that it was disrespectable for a man of his station—”
“Does this look like Taldor to you, lady?…”
“Why do Desnans like shrines so much, anyway? Shouldn’t they want their temples to have… roofs?”
“I heard Desna thinks everyone should sleep under the stars!”
“Wow, why would anyone…”
“…heard some Voyager cleaned up the shrine by the river a bit, added a cute little statue.”
“Aren’t they worried it’ll get stolen?”
“The thief would have to be a total idiot to…”
“Did you hear? That kid who was selling Cayden’s brew on the cheap finally got busted for it.”
“Serves him right, snubbing the law like that.”
“That’s the thing! The lord-mayor found out, and rather than making an example of him, he just made him pay a back fine like he was licensing a proper tavern and now he’s collecting taxes!”
(as a member of a closely related faith you know that this is Not True)
(drakor wpuld be very offended if he heard that)
