Blix grabs the bat on his shoulder and tries to bite it's head off (just for flavour ((heheh)), make it a regular scimitar attack if you want Ru). Attack: 25 DMG: 5 If the bat dies he will try and swing his other scimitar at a nearby bat (bonus action) Attack: 17 DMG: 8. "NO! Blix's blood! Blix take back!"

Crit dmg: 5 Blix spits out the head and puts it in his pocket. "Snack for later." He whispers to himself. (If the main attack fails to kill the bat Blix will of course redirect his bonus attack towards the bat that is on him)
Grishkar and Blix take care of their own bats, with Blix killing an extra one for good measure. Before the last bat is able to do much of anything, Yeva suddenly snatches it out of the air and bites its head off! She chews and spits the head into the well, throwing the body in after. The well lights up briefly with the entry of the body, but not quite the same firework show as before.
"You did good," You all turn and see Durnan nod his head in approval at you. He doesn't say much else, but he returns to his post behind the counter. Some of you who need more praise in your life feel happy that someone as stoic as Durnan acknowledged your accomplishment.
The crowd cheers and raises their hands or clap at the banishment of the troll and death of the bats. You lavish in the praise for a while, but soon it returns to the regular celebration it was always supposed to be. The crowds thicken as friends join friends, some even standing around as they chat. A lone figure pushes through to your table. You hope perhaps it might be Durnan with payment or just booze, but instead, you see before you an imp. Imps, as you know, can vary in size and allegiances. Some of you might believe they are hardly intelligent, needing a master to pull the strings, but some imps are capable of independent thought.
The imp that flutters before you is on the smaller side, roughly 2 feet in height. It lands on an unoccupied space at your table, flapping its devilish wings to ensure it doesn't accidentally land into anyone's cup. The odd thing you note is that this imp is wearing clothing. You most likely haven't seen any imps wear clothing before, but anything is possible these days. His appearance is lavish - especially in comparison to his species. You might wonder for a moment if he stole these things from a fancy doll. His horns sort of comedically pop out from holes in his hat.
"Greetings, greetings! You all seem very strong, yes? I could use the help of strong people like yourselves..."The imp seems to pay special attention to Grishkar. His eyes glitter as he adds, "Of course, services in exchange for money... What do you think? Will you listen to my request?"
(He is an imp that is wearing these clothes. Yes, I went there.)

Blix hits one of his fingers on a non-glass tooth. "Blix needs new tooth. This one is not shiny enough. Will pay be enough money for.. shinies? IF IS ENOUGH!... Blix is in :)."

The imp who approached you strokes his wiry goatee with a small grin, "Yes, yes, it is quite lucrative this deal. I'm hoping you will help me out. First, I should introduce myself," he adjusts his floppy hat and tightens his scarf. “Name's Pivlic, member of the Orzhov Syndicate, owner and proprietor of Pivlichino's at your service. I trust you’ve noted the open violence in the tenth during the last few weeks. I haven’t seen so much blood since that one time a planeswalker summoned me! But now I fear I have misplaced a friend amid this odious malevolence.
“My friend’s name is Anksa Kos. She’s got more beauty than brains, and I worry she took a bad way home a couple nights ago and was kidnapped — or worse. If you agree to track her down with all due haste, I can offer you ten zinos apiece now, and I can give you each ten times that when you find Anksa. What do you think? Willing to help a friend in need?”

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
((Is the name Anksa Kos related in any way to the famed Boros Wojek Agrus Kos, whose arrest of the former Dimir Guild leader Szadek caused the original Guild Pact to shatter some years prior? And as such, does the mention of the Kos name bubble up for Klox an image of this lady we are looking for?))
Klox doesn't know much history, but he thinks maybe the Kos name is important though it would seem there are a lot of humans named Kos.

"I'm with the Doc," Rukorm grumbles "I would think you would want professionals dealing with this if she's so bloody important." The minotaur deliberately hadn't said much at the approach. Admittedly the chance of a job in this otherwise empty downtime did seem nice, but he knew not to trust fiends, especially Imps, so he was willing to let the others grill him first.
Grishkar settles back into his chair and passes a hand over where the bat had latched on. Pale green light radiated from his palm and his skin patched itself over the wound. "Who sent you?" He demands of the imp, "For one such as yourself, I doubt you're doing this out of pure goodness." With the wound temporarily mended, Grishkar reclines and waves the others back to the table, "As it happens, you've found one of the clergy happy to assist you. You must understand, though, that all favors come with some cost." The blue face split wide in an expectant grin.

"We's people!" Klox asserts, maybe a little louder than necessary so that neighboring tables can hear how awesome he is as he yanks Giggles' chain a little too excitedly. "We's people that beat back smelly troll and smashed bitey bats!"
Leaning in a little more conspiratorially, "We's also peoples that likes zinos, yes? And helping find poor lost girls with rich imp friends?"
The imp shrugs, "I saw that you had some cohesion - promise. If you're worried about my intentions, I suppose I can take my thousands of zinos elsewhere..."

"Who said anything about worrying over intentions? For all I care, you're using me as much as I'm using you. People say these things like it's a bad thing, but don't we all just use each other in the end? For instance, if finding your person makes us acquaintances, perhaps we can see future enterprises together?" Grishkar leans back comfortably in his chair, raising a glass of wine to a fictitious toast between the two.

"I see, you don't quite understand... I'm looking for anyone who seems capable," the imp shrugs. He offers a pleasant smile, "If the exchange of money for services doesn't sit with you all, I am share I will find another team willing to take on this task. The night of the Guildpact Celebration has more than its sure of fights going on in the 4th, I'm sure."

Roya examines this curious creature. More coin could definitely be put to good use, she thinks.
"I am not adverse to hearing your proposition," she replies. During the conversation, she will try to get a read on him.
