Two gnomes step out from a ledge overlooking the path up. They look over Fyste with raised eyebrows. "You look like shifter..." The one who spoke common earlier says as he eyes Fyste's blue skin. "Why we should believe you no shifters?" Eyes run over the group, taking in the tabaxi, human, dragonborn, and other races of your group with consideration.
"They are even trying to trick us..." The second goblin speaks up in common. "Everyone knows true shifters do not use magic to shift..." They grip their weapons tighter, bu tlook a bit hesitant at taking on such a strong group as yourselves.
"Well...I guess I doez not know that," Last Tree Standing mutters. "What kind of proof do you need?"

Last Tree scratches her head. "I haz darkvision. Doez Shifterz see in the dark? If not, you could stick me in a dark room and show flashcardz or something."

"If you wish, I can sign a legal document for you attesting that we are in fact, not now, never have been, and never plan on being shifters." Qa reaches for his scroll case, quill and ink. "As the documentarian, I have the legal right to sign off on behalf of the company and will gladly do so if it will ease your fears. I will even add a clause that should we breach this document, we will willingly submit to you for any and all punishments you feel necessary.

”Here is our business card.” She offers it to them, and then brings out a piece of parchment. “And here is one of our fliers to let people know more about obtaining our services.”
Reginald walks over to the side of the cave, slides the wall face and sits down with an exasperated groan. "By chance are Shifters your enemies? And if so would they have attacked you already?" With a heavy sigh, "We have not attacked you and have no reason to attack you so are we good?"
Patrice sits down next to Reginald and gets out her lute. She takes her time tuning it and begins to fingerpick a warm tune.
“They made their way across the land.
Their only goal was to protect.
With bow and staff and sword in hand.
No harm to others would they let...”
Patrice continues humming the tune while she plays, looking deeply into her strings. The tune rings of a heroic ballad and yet is melancholy in nature.
"Ok, guess you can't really be shifters..." The male gnome says after looking over the business card. "What shifter would try to get in ehre looking like you guys after all..." he and the female gnome share a laugh at that.
"Best show them to the kings and let them sort this out..." The male gnome says.
"Sure that is wise?" The female asks with a frown.
"You want to deal with these?" The male asks.
Take them to Fibblestib and Dabbledob..." The female suggests.
"Come along." The male gnome says, giving his companion a nod of agreement. Without waiting for a response, they quickly turn and lead you thorugh several tunnels. Soon you are approaching a set of double doors. Even as you approach you can hear two gnomes inside arguing.
"I tell you the sanity ray will cur ehim straight off." A male voice says.
"No, my straight jacket will do the trick." A female shouts back.
"What?" Both shout together as the male gnome with the group opens the double doors.
"We have a group of adventurers here." Teh female gnome informs the two inside. Looking into the room you see...
The workshop is cluttered with half-completed gnomish inventions that serve no purpose, as well as worktables strewn with tinker’s tools. A 10-foot-high ledge overlooks the room, set with a wooden pedestal on which sits a leather-bound book.
“Greetings, we’re the Phandalin Franchise of the Company of the Dragon.”Patrice approaches the gnomes slowly with a business card. “We have been charged with the extermination of a dragon that has recently moved into the area. We were hoping you might have some inventions that would help us in this endeavor.”
"Even if you have no device capable of fighting a dragon, " Fyste look around at all the incomplete gadgets, "I believe business relationship would be beneficial to both of groups. Such innovative ones such as yourselves would be of great value to our company and of course we would have coin for comissions,"

"Not sure either." He replies. "What proof do you have?"
