Yensen: Suddenly noticing that the woman already had company, yensen took the greeting from the womans company as an invitation to join them so he sat himself down and looked about. In his slightly inebriated state he hadnt been all to perceptive of the other people in the bar.
"My apologies for failing to notice you all. The atmosphere seems to have gotten the better of me." Yensen said as he scootched his chair closer to the table and extended his hand to whoever would shake it.
"The names Yensen. Torm's Wandering Warrior." He continued with a grin. It had been a while since he had heard his hometown nickname or even had company. Hearing everyones introduction was nice.
"What are we all listening for? Anybparticular reason that is a person of interest?" Yensen asked as he tried to nonchalantly follow their gaze
" Nice to meet you Yensen the Torm warrior. As I was telling the beautiful Lia, I am here to do research and solve a mystery. Have either of you heard the name Abernath the Infernal? Originally Abernathy Thornknuckle born in Waterdeep and eventually had a residence here in Luskan?"
She might recall having heard the name mentioned in passing when talking to a member of the Arcane Brotherhood ( at least he claimed he was a member to impress you) you think his name was Lars Starcatcher or something.
"I do believe I have heard the name before." Lia says with a frown of concentration. "Are you doing your research on this fellow then?" She asks without revealing anything further of who she believes she heard the name from.
Mikhail wipes away the latest foam to cling to his beard and asks curiously, "So, as a fisherman, do you often find yourself so wrapped up in the conversations and to do's of wee people?"
Excited in the interest strangers are showing in what he says, Bellows continues. " Abernath was famous for his wandering Fair. He had amazing skills at magic and vast experience in many lands. He went missing about 60 years ago. Missing without a trace. Rumor has it he has a vast fortune stashed in a secret tower somewhere on the sword coast. Nobody has been able to find it and now it's almost totally forgotten. I am not as interested in the gold as I am in his spell book and his journals. But gold is useful as well" he chuckles.
" what about you? Are you from around here or are you just visiting?" He asks Lia
" What is a Torm warrior? " he asks Yensen
Suddenly, Bellows notices Snus, a fellow short guy, and waves at him from across the room. Realizing it may be him that did the mind message trick from the impression of him that came across in his communication.
"A treasure horde, hidden away?" Lia says with a silky tone to her voice. "That sounds so... Well... adventurous." She tries to deflect any questions of her reasons for being around the area. "If I could pull some strings to get more information on this person, would you be willing to let me accompany you? It sounds so... Fasenating..." She is thinking she could go and tal with that arcane brotherhood person and see what more could be learned there.
Yensen listened to the little Kobold explain his current quest and couldnt stop himself from smiling. Unknown mysteries and a hoard of treasure; of course such a tale would draw people.
"Torm is the loyal fury. God of courage and self sacrifice. He answers me in my times of need and i live to do the same for him." Yensen answered still maintaining his wistful smile. "He compells me to help those in need and right that wrongs of this world. Perhaps he sent me here now to help with this "Abernath the infernal". It certainly sounds like he may have done some wrongs in his life"
As he explains this he pulls his holy symbol out from undernrath his tunic. The small white gauntlet hand hanging from the end of a silver chain around his neck.
" Clues? The only clue I had was a fourth hand story a guy in a fishing port relayed that said Abernath had a home in Luskan and that he was once a member in standing of the Origianl Arcane Brotherhood. So i figures, I should start here. I first heard his name from an old poster I found when I was just a whelp. It advertised his fair and listed some of his feats of power he would demonstrate. Stuck with me ever since. It seems The arcane Brotherhood would be a good place to begin. Very exciting indeed. You want to come along? That would be wonderful. The more the merrier and the safer. Who knows what dangers might guard a wizards tower.."
"I'm really very curious as to why a person would be called "the infernal" as well, I'll accept your offer. This arcane brotherhood sounds as good a place as any to begin. But if it's truly a brotherhood they may not want to just share information about their members, current or past, with any passerby? Maybe there's someone here who may remember such a travelling fair?" Yensen responded to Bellows and began to look about the bar for anyone who looked like an old timer of the humans or just any of the longer lived races as he finished his drink.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"I can get in contact with someone from the Arcane Brotherhood." Lia says with a shake of her head and an amused smile. "Let me reach out and see if I can set up a meeting with him."
(Does Lia know anything else about the Arcane Brotherhood?)
His eyes widen as he watches the fisherman cast an arcane spell. "Well, I don't know what you cast or who you whispered to but it appears you are much more than a fisher of whales."
The only thing you know is what everyone knows and that is the Arcane Brotherhood is one of the power players in Luskan, just a little less important the "Ships"
@ yensen
There is a withered old gnome sitting at the bar, staring into space with his one eye. An eye patch covers the other and he has a peg leg. He looks to have been around the block a few times and on the receiving end of some misfortunes along the way.
" Lia, that would be great is your friend could get us in to ask some questions or to at least look about in their library. Maybe they know an address for his former house in Luskan. Maybe we can ask about membership in the brotherhood, could be a useful connection in the future, especially after we are famous" he says excitedly.
" Mr Yensen, not sure if any in this bar would remember, at least not reliably. It has been 60 years since he was seen last. We should order some food and and shake hands on an adventure pact. We split the spoils in equality, we listen to each others counsel and we protect each other until the task is complete"
He holds his little golden scales hand out to Lia an then to Yessen and then stands up on the chair and waves down the Barmaid, he heard from others that the fish chowder is particularly good here.
If Mikhail was in a village where his show was, he would likely remember the awesome display of magic and creatures from when he was a wee lad. It could have been a secret inspiration for Mikhail to seek adventure of his own and hearing the named mentioned wouod be a good reason to spark a conversation with bellows and crew

"Let me see..." Lia says as she traces a finger along her jaw in thought.

OOC Snus is not short.. for sure not for Kobold :D lets say around 1.75m ~5.7f
Snusmumriken to Mikhail:
"You know mr Mikhail. There is one thing in the world as good as successful catch...a good mystery told around the fireplace..oh one second"
He takes small copper wire from one of many pockets inside his coat and whisper to it
"Nice one. You found me"
The wire glows for a second..
"Well mr Mikhail it looks that this stranger noticed us and my little tricks"
