He says, "It's a small shop called 'Myrtle's Wondrous Wears', run by an eccentric woman, it's an odd place, but I can see how a young woman might find it... charming. She also runs a small magic shop by the same name. Basically." At the mention of Myrtle's name, Mother makes a "harumph" sound.
Usul will add his voice to the conversation, saying "First, sir, what is your name? And from whom were you sent? I am Usul, and my friend and I will gladly help. We are good at getting into places others may not be able to. And..." looking around at all the voices adding in "perhaps everyone here will be able to provide other help. We're sure we all have our specialties." finally adding, directed at Mother and Father "Do not worry for your Anna. We will do our best to find her for you."
Veryes looks around taking in the faces of all who have heard. She takes special care to look at Mother, then turns back to the stranger. "Myrtles, you say" eyeing Mother cautiously. "I've not had any wondrous wears myself recently. Anyone know of what he speaks?"
Alexandra's developed relationships with many people and businesses in Waterdeep. She thinks hard to see if she knows or remembers anything about Myrtle or her shops.
Sendon sits on his bed, listening as the conversation goes on around him, and shivers. He looks at the armoured man, and thinks how easily he could cut Sendon in two. But then he thinks of his empty coin purse, and the possibility - no, the certainty - that he will be spending tonight sleeping on the streets and most likely getting his throat slit. He moves to stand, falters, and then stiffens his back and walks towards the others. I, errrr, I would like to help, if I can. I am a newcomer to this city, and my face is not known here. That might be of use in the investigation, perhaps? He stands behind Usul, keeping a wary eye on the armoured man, and tries not to tremble too much.
My name is Sen, he says by way of introduction, to Usul and the others. I arrived late last night, so I didn't have a chance to greet any of you. You can see that Sen is a very nervous-looking young half elf who looks like he might not have slept much recently. He wears a dark blue robe and has a tendency to avoid meeting people's eyes when he speaks.
hearing the story, a look of concern would have washed over the orcs hardened face for just a moment at the mention of a missing child before quickly returning to it's hard natural state. "I help, Crush not afraid of dark. you be ready with coin when Crush find her...I good at getting information from crying scared men" The orc would grunt with a smile, revealing a set of sharp teeth.
He says, "My name is Shadrach, my employer is of no concern... I accept your offer of assistance to find Anna. I need you to use all of your resources to explore the city's darker corners to find information about her. I pray she hasn't found her way into the undermountain - I'm sure she has just run away from home, maybe she is spending time with her friends or a boy or some other foolish thing. I have a room at The Yawning Portal, if you find anything -- or if you find her, come ask for me."
If no one has anything to ask him, he is going to exit The Saving Point.
Alexandra wouldn't have heard of Myrtle's shop, I don't think. There are so many small shops like this in Waterdeep that it's easy for them to blend together.
"Your employer certainly is a concern. Perhaps you are looking for her for nefarious purposes. How are we to know you, or your 'employer,' are trustworthy? Also, you mentioned pay. Though I'm more than happy to help Ma and Pa, I'm not one to turn down some coin..." Usul will respond after hearing from Shadrach
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Veryes would also like to know about this "employer" and agrees with Usuls assessment.
She says "That is truly troubling and I would like to help also. I had a friend named Anna when I was young. I would hate to think of anything awful happening to her. You did however mention coin and I have to agree with Usul here. Isn't there anything you could tell us about your employer that would put our minds at ease?"
I'd like to try and persuade him to give us more information; Persuasion check: 11
"Although I've spent very little time here, Ive noticed the way you care and tend to the people who come here seeking shelter. But Anna is special to you, no?"

He scoffs at the idea that he's doing this for any kind of nefarious purposes, but he's giving up nothing about his employers. It's possible that he's also working through an intermediary. It's also possible someone of some status might be involved in this, and he's trying to keep their identity secret. In any event, he's clearly annoyed at the idea he's looking to harm her, and says "As I said, you can find me at the Yawning Portal if you find any information about her whereabouts, or if you happen to find her. There better the information, the more you get paid. My coin and my honor are both impeccable. Good day." He turns on his heel and makes his exit.
Mother looks to Aria and reaches up to touch Father's hand resting on her shoulder. "Anna is a special girl. It would be a..." she searches for her words "It wouldn't hurt to at least look for her. Maybe that fellow just got lost looking for her. We see a lot of lost people here, you know."

"A strange'n that. Came in 'ere t' ask for our help, but he dinnae give anythin' t' go off'a."Alexandra sighs and takes Father lightly by the shoulder and leads him a little ways away from the crowd at the door. "Listen Father, I know y' dinnae like t' pry int' other people's business, bit is there anythin' aboot Anna or her folk that could point us in th' right direction?" Persuasion: 14
Veryes huffs "How rude" then moves a bit to the side and taking out her book writes "Man in shinning armor, pelted by a pebble, comes asking for help, but doesn't want us to meddle. He says a girl is missing, Anna is her name...' She stares off into space chewing on her pen
In response to Alexandra, Father says, "Anna is a very special girl, she would come here from time to time to stay with us and help play with the children staying with us... She always had the brightest smile and the most intelligent eyes, but I could tell she was hiding some pain, though you would never know it. She's...hard to explain, but certainly it wouldn't hurt to go out and look for her. If you think that Shadrach isn't all he claims to be, at least we can try to protect Anna from whatever she's gotten herself into. Go to this clothier, maybe ask around some of the taverns to see if anyone has heard of her, or anything unseemly that might be happening around the city... Certainly you all know about these places better than Mother and I."
Mother says, "I bet that Myrtle is behind it." You've never seen her this angry before. She harumphs again.
Father says to you, lowering his voice, "I'm sure Myrtle isn't behind it, just... you don't want to get her started."
In response the the armored man leaving Usul will say "Well that man is a right ****... And I don't trust him as far as I can throw his armored ass. But, for Ma and Pa I'm willing to start a search. I didn't have much else to do today anyway. If any of the rest of you will join that will be very helpful. And when we do go back to the gleaming bastard who just left, I will not give him any information until he can assure all of us that he means well." And looking up at Crush "And pay well of course."
Usul will then pack his things and get ready, looking around to see what else the others may learn, and who will join.
"Excuse me for eavesdroppin', m'lord," Alexandra says as she wipes food residue onto the skirt of her dress, "The clothier, what d' it be called?"
He says, "It's a small shop called 'Myrtle's Wondrous Wears', run by an eccentric woman, it's an odd place, but I can see how a young woman might find it... charming. She also runs a small magic shop by the same name. Basically." At the mention of Myrtle's name, Mother makes a "harumph" sound.
