"Thank you, good sirs, for the information," Darion replied, bowing slightly. He turned around and walked away from the thugs, bowing again before Bel. "They're all yours, my lady. Anything else you wish to know is yours to ask. I will await you nearby." Darion faded into the shadows, barely visible.
"Yeah, I think we have all we need. It's probably best we get the guards now."
She looks down at the goons. "I'm sure that when they ask you about what went down here you'll take responsiblity for what happened ,and forget about the conversation we had here, right?" [Persuasion 11(discord)]
"uhh... right." The other gangster pops in - "We'll just s..say that another gang - the Blu popped in and beat up our men. We won't say a thing about a girly, a shorty, a priest or a pompous fool. Just promise not to rat on us as well."
"Now look here, who are you calling-" Darion flared up with rage, storming out of the shadows with his rapier in hand. He drew back for a quick thrust, before remembering that the party had agreed to let them live. He sighed, and merely cut their bonds. "Go. Now." The intensity in his voice was unlike anything else. "Before I change my mind." With that, he spun on his heel, sheathing his rapier, before going back to lean against the wall of the alleyway.
As the goons leave, Gary pipes up again, "Well, that was unpleasant. Let's get out of these slums and figure out what we need to do next. I'm not overly keen on approaching their employer if it is some sort of diabolic freak. At the very least, we have a name now that we can look up more information about. What do you think we should do next?"
Gary replies "That sounds like a wonderful idea, Socarin. We may be able to overhear additional rumors or information of this Skyhill while there as well, although we should tread carefully when asking about it. I believe I remember where the driver stated it was." Gary begins heading towards the place. As he steps inside, he surveys the surroundings to get a feel for what it looks like and who is there.

The inn seems like a safe place, and most of the people there appear amiable and approachable. Nothing in particular catches your eye, with the exception of an odd placard hanging on the southern wall.
The whole way to Inn Bel is fairly quite and seems to be a bit shaken. She continuously looks back the way they came as if she's expecting someone to be following the group.
Once you arrive at the Inn she pulls everyone aside. "So...." She starts nervously. "I know I kinda talked you all into this but, I think my eyes were bigger than my stomach on this one. I don't think I'm cut out for this kind of work." She begins to thumb her necklace. "I think I'm going to stay here for the night and leave in the morning, I think I should stick to the whole traveling musician stick rather than adventuring. Besides, I still think I can do good work using my music to spread good will and that sort of thing." She goes up to all three of her companions and hugs them. "I travel around a lot so we may run into each other again! Don't be afraid to say hi!" That night at the Inn she performs one last time for everyone, then first thing in the morning she heads off to another town as she's done many times before.

Socarin gives Bel a long hug. Once it is over, not wanting Bel to see the tears in his eyes, runs over to the placard on the southern wall. After wiping his face he inspects the placard.
"Milady, while it wasn't long, I did enjoy your company. If ever you wish to return, we will welcome you with open arms," Darion bowed deeply as Bel released him from the hug. "I will never forget Bel Vardicas, Bard Extraordiare." The rogue gave a sad smile as he watched Bel rush up to the stage. Going to the bar, he ordered a cup of wine, ignoring the placard for the time being.

Socarin heads back to the team as there didn't seem to be anyone heading in their direction.
"So have we got all the information we required? Do we have the next destination?"
Socarin looks around the alley "Where is Darion?"
"Yeah, I think we have all we need. It's probably best we get the guards now."

Nothing strikes you as off about the placard, but the words are oddly written and it seems like part of it has been written in several strokes.

Bless you Bel, it has been a pleasure. I wish you the best of luck for your future.
Mjoll notices Socarin checking out the odd looking placard and joins him.

Socarin is very interested in the writing on the placard and attempts to read the scribble.
Investigation 21
Socarin concludes that it appears that the placard was written in black ink, but in many irregular strokes. It just seems off somehow.

Spotting the rest of the group gathering over at the placard, Darion joins them, squinting at the strange object, attempting to read the marks.
