"Like I said, my workshop; if you ever need anything made from metal, jewels or leather come buy and I should be able to make you something, for a good price of course." Smithy answers, thinking that it was pretty clear from all the equipment. "Now, why were you looking for me?"

"Look, here's the thing, earlier today I was approached by a green dragonborn, only it wasn't a green dragonborn. He introduced himself as Fyn and told me he was a changeling. I found that odd as changelings usually go out of their way to hide their nature. Anyway he gave me this," Vonaire pulls a small black object out of his pocket, "it's just a wooden replica but he said it would give you all an idea of what the 'Beak of the Raven' looks like." It's a wooden replica of a bird's beak, painted black.
"He also asked me to give you this." Vonaire hands you a scroll.

"Well thank you for doing what Fynn asked of you. Not sure why he went this way, but glad we got these from him" Smithy says.

Vonaire doesn't act as paranoid once he gets inside, it was just out in the streets he was looking over his shoulder. He now appears a lot calmer in your workshop.

Etienne double checks, then will let the man out. Then, he will carefully tail him without his notice for several minutes to make sure he is both ok, and that he himself is not meeting up with someone (in other words, trying to verify he is not a spy).
Once the coast is clear this wiley fellow disappears down an alley. You can roll Perception or Investigation, or something else you might have if you deem it worthy. His paranoia of being followed or hunted may cause him to inadvertently give you the slip.

Lace quietly follows and listens, saying "Please" and "Thank You" as appropriate.When the beak and scroll are presented, she quietly extends a hand to take them (before passing them on if requested)
She uses Perception and/or investigation on the items to find out what she can.Rolling twice per item in case she has advantage (since others are looking) or if different things can be told from Perception & Investigation.The bonus for Investigation is +4 and Perception is +5. If there's no advantage to multiple rools, just take the first one

This guy and shadows must be best friends as they soon become one and Etienne feels a sense of loneliness, it is then she realizes that the 'Quarter Master's' paranoia makes him hard to follow.
He is probably half way to the docks by now. It's the one place he feels the safest.

The 'Raven's Beak' replica is just to show what the real one would look like, under close inspection anyone can tell it is just painted wood.
The Scroll appears to be another part of Biscotti's last will and testament.
