"Crush Look For Anna kelver" The ork would say as he locks eyes with the dwarf. "You tell me where she is... I leave" He would grunt before pulling his bone pipe from his armor and lighting it. Taking a deep drag before exhaling a couple large plumes of cheap tobacco smoke through his nostrils.
Both of the Stonetooth brothers begin to protest that they have no clue who this girl is or where she is but the human raises his hands and motions them both to be silent. One of the drow leans over and whispers something to him.
The human says "She's not here presently, unfortunately, but we can tell you where she is... Tell me, my son, what do you know about the Undermountain?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The ork would snarl a bit at the question. "Most die there.... some get rich" Crush would reply impatiently as the smoke billows more frequently from his nostrils. "Done nice talk. Where Anna!?" The ork would shout as he slams his fist down into the table where the card game was playing. "Your men kill crush... but not before I rip off your jaw and stab you in the eye with it!" The work would yell in frustration.
Sebastian Stonetooth draws his sword and points it directly at Crush; one of the drow produces a pair of nasty looking daggers. Besides them, surprisingly, no one else moves. The human sucks a breath in through his teeth and then sighs. "There's a place in the Undermountain called The Tooth. It's a new ... social club, for some of the elite in Waterdeep. It's a rough place, so I'm sure someone of your stature will fit right in. Quite dangerous. I suspect you'll find the girl there."
The others in the room are completely flabbergasted that the human is just telling Crush where to go. The human adds, "It's a difficult place to find, of course, and you'll have to find some way to convince their security to let you in. But seeing as you had no difficulty finding your way in here tonight -" he gives an almost imperceptible glare to one of the drow "- I assume that will be no challenge for you, either."
"Hey Skunk? Wait... Sunkx! Fancy seeing you down here. What's the good word?" Aria is just grasping as straws at this point. Crush is nowhere in sight and neither are the brothers and she's getting a bit worried. "You know your way around this place huh?"

Crush would exhale another very long plume of smoke through his nostrils before putting away his pipe. Ignoring the drawn weapons, the orc would give the human a small smile.. enough to show a few of his tusk like teeth. "Thanks" The orc would say with a small nod before glancing to the others in the room. Crush would take a few steps back away from the table, keeping an eye on them before turning and making his way to the door. His hands on his axes as he makes his way back out into the hallway.
Sunkx looks at Aria and says "The good word? The good word tonight is ffff--" Whatever he was about to say is interrupted by Crush opening the door and backing into the hallway. The half-orc guards shut the door behind Crush.
Usul see's Crush come out and says "Hey big guy! You're not bleeding out on the floor! That's great news! You don't even looked roughed up at all! So... are they all dead? Or did you talk your way out of it?" the last line said with a slight chuckle.
"I tell man I rip off his jaw and stab him in eye with it... if he not tell me where Anna is" Crush would say with a grunt as he continues to walk down the hallway away from the room he had just left. Then pausing for a moment, he would look down to Usul and grin "He tell me where she is". The orc would then motion for Usul to follow him upstairs. Crush's heavy boots and chainmail thumping and rattling with every step.
Aria watches the exchange with Usul and Crush and quickly looks back to Sunkx. "Uh I guess we're leaving but thanks for the work. I must admit I had a slight curiosity about what we were delivering."

Sunkx and his lady friends have their backs to the party as they reach the top of the stairs. Crush is between them and the rest of the party now. You can hear Sunkx laugh and then yell back in slurred, drunken infernal, "Long live the revolution!"
Aria yells back to Sunkx in infernal "And a good day to you too!" She turns her attention to Crush... "So um, you going to tell us exactly what they told you?"

Crush would nod to Aria as he continues to walk up the stairs untill he can see all of his companions, even of they are not all within earshot. Once they are all accounted for, he would turn and look to Aria and Usul. The orc would scratch the top of his head a moment with his other hand on the hilt of his axe while he tries to remember what he was told. After a few seconds that feel like an eternity, the orc would open his mouth. "The is at The Tooth" he would say pointing to one of his long sharp teeth. "It a club in da undermountain" He would grunt as he stomps his foot and points to the ground.
Undermountain,says Sen. The undermountain. As in, the famous deathtrap dungeon of a mad wizard? Great. That seems very risky, perhaps we should tell Shadr... His brain catches up with his mouth, and he turns to stare at Crush. Did you say 'club'???
A concerned look crosses Aria's face.. "The Undermountain isn't as bad as most people make it out to be... yet it definitely has its rough patches. This club has to be very new because I do not remember one being down there."

Aria would remember a few occasions in the Undermountain where she came across places that seemed unusual that at the time she chalked up to the presence of a large hunting party moving through the area -- animal carcasses left behind, lots of debris, just an unusual kind of setting. In hindsight, she thinks this might be somehow related to the Tooth.
On a 15, I'll also say that she's likely heard people talking about a tooth before and always chalked it up to some kind of creature people were tracking through the caverns but now, hearing about this place, it sounds suspicious.
The look on Aria's face now is more of concern... "I remember people talking about a tooth but that resembled a dumping ground... maybe even a kill site more than it resembles a club. I fear that's not good if that's the place we're looking for. And we should probably get there as quickly as possible."

Blinking in surprise Usul replies "Well... That's certainly one way to do it." and follows Crush upstairs
