Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.

[Arete]

“Well, I can’t complain, I run my business out of my house!” He laughs in a friendly way. “But we’re definitely emptier than usual. I’d say my ale’s pretty good, but maybe not good enough to walk through a downpour.”

@Arete

Apart from a few of the most popular books, which there are multiple copies of, most of the bookshop’s books are presented as single copies, with an estimated time listed (usually a few hours) for how long it would take to produce another copy. The shelves are labelled “HISTORY,” “RELIGION,” “MEDICINE,” “COOKBOOKS,” and “OTHER”; it’s strange to see a bookstore with the Medicine section separate from Religion, and even stranger that the “Other” section doesn’t seem to have any fiction or poetry whatsoever.

(I was thinking we look through the sections to identify what the baron bought)

((Arete, would we have to roll to check the sections for missing books?))
((–same question as above, but then stealthily.))

[Geyde]

“Right, right. Ended up here regardless, so…” It clicks.

“What would you recommend?”

[Squirrel2412]

(The half orc menacingly baring his fangs at hin (smiling) probably doesn’t help)

[Arete]

Knowing some things about Hazel Ford, your impression is that Canary is… not exactly the most competent at navigating the town. At least, it seems pretty unlikely that she’s repeatedly backtracking on purpose. The good news is, that makes it relatively easy to keep up with her, and eventually you see her enter the shop of a quite expensive jeweler, who’s been a master within the jeweler’s guild for as long as you can remember.

[Arete]

Sure, make me a … perception check?

“Well, I can make ale, or I can make wine. You want anything stronger, you’ll need to go to someone who’s getting alcohol brewed the normal way.”

[Geyde]

“Let’s go with some ale.”

[Squirrel2412]

“What’s popular these days?” Drakor asked. “I’ve been told it’s coming back into style.”

He ignored the language question, oddly enough.

[Arete]

Looking through the stacks, it doesn’t seem like any of the books are outright missing — given the mention of “copying” on their associated price sheets, this makes sense, as presumably if he sells a copy he retains the original. Looking more closely at the shelves, you can spot signs of books being removed and re-shelved for copying. It seems that few of the history books have been removed and re-shelved recently; in the Religion section, book removals (beyond the books that there are already multiple copies of) seem concentrated around a couple specific books of Gorumite theology; in the Other section, by far the most popular books are the travelogues. The medicine section seems largely unpopular, with the exception of one specific book of remedies, though it seems like most of the books were disturbed months ago, not years or anything extreme like that.

[Arete]

He takes out a mug and murmurs a few words, waving his right hand over it. Ale appears in the mug, and he hands it over to you. “That’ll be one bit.”

(you know that this is an unusually cheap price for ale)
