“He likes to gamble right? Well, maybe one of these fellas may remember winning or losing to him.”
Drux will look for a table of gamblers. He will sit in if given the chance and attempt to draw some answers from them. If no ones gambling, he’ll just grab a table and a pint and hope to eavesdrop.
You find a table of gamblers indeed. They are laughing, and extremely drunk, it seems, but they grow silent as you approach. "What do you want?" A fellow speaks, crossing his arms.
“Well, I was just wondering if I could join your game. It’s been quite a day, and now I’m just lookin to play for some gold and have some ale. Does your game have room for one more?”
"Do you have gold?"
“Sure do. What’s the buy-in?” Drux asks as he looks for an empty seat to sit in. He also flags downs server for a pint.
Sabine orders one mug of ale. However the drink isn't for herself. She takes a bottle from her belt and adds a drop of liquid from it. The dull colored ale gives a glimmer of pink then returns normal. The artificer puts the mug in front of Drux and smiles. " Having a game? Are you feeling lucky today?"
Drux looks from Sabine to the mug, taking the offered drink. “I am thanks,” he says after taking a few deep swallows from the mug. Setting it down he says, “I think we have time for a game, and we’re out lookin for this Floon character because he probably couldn’t handle his drink or his coin. These gentlemen have already accepted me into the round. It would be rude to opt out when my shards are already on the table.”
As he lifts his mug for another drink, 5 shards lay on the table in its place.
Why should Drux be the only one to make money? Laughter looks at the others with a sigh. "Very well. But every minute wasted is a minute that our missing person may not have."
"Can I interest you boys and girls in a Miraculous Luck Elixir? I have enough for all of you." Laughter announces to the table. Pulling out his supply of potions. Not to mention, all of his Guild papers and proof of validation. "For the low, low price of 25 gold each!"
“Candle Lane ya say?” Drux asks when the other gamblers respond to the questioning. “Sounds like an ominous place. Worth a look see I think. Now unless there’s more to share, let’s get this game on with shall we gentlemen? There’s gold that needs winning and losing before I go see about a Floon.”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
" So we have several clues and suspects now. Renaer Neverember and those men who followed him.Humm…" Sabine takes a sip of her special potion and tries to remember if she knows this noble man.
Gruk goes up to the bartender.
"Have you seen Floon?" he asks, in a slightly mean way.
"Gruk, calm down. We already asked him and got our answer."
“Sure do. What’s the buy-in?” Drux asks as he looks for an empty seat to sit in. He also flags downs server for a pint.
"Gentlemen. Ladies. I'm afraid we don't have the time to gamble." Says Laughter as he approached the group. "We are looking for a man named Floon."
@Gruk
" Never mind big guy. Let's go to the table."

Action: Sabine gives Drux Guidance.

"Ah."
Gruk now knows there is no more information.
Gruk follows the others.
"Do you know Floon Geddarm?", he asks in a more modest tone than previously, leaning forward and putting both hands on the table.

EDIT: Gruk has a +1 to Charisma. If you play with nat 1s and 20s on ability checks, this is a nat 1.

"After the game, of course. No cheating!" Laughter puts the vials away.
