Alright both points are taken into consideration. If nothing else I can start at the bent nail, make a purchase or two, and inquire about the cloaked person that ran towards them. Maybe if nothing else this will provide further clues.Lady Savra was there any more information or was that it?
Well, I'll head over to the bent nail to see what goes. Hopefully I learn something. I'll be back in 30 minutes to play the horn for musical entertainment . If your hungry Lady Savra give us a try whilst you are here. Word has it Rum makes some very great meat & potato dishes.
Investigation info dump, in the hopes that I don't have to retype this every few days. There will be a link to this post on post #1 of this forum:
Fala's statement: "I was watering my plants on the greenhouse on the second floor of my shop when the blast blew out some of the windows. Lucky I wasn't injured!-
"Through the smoke, I saw a cloaked man take something from the body of that dead gnome, then start limping away. He was badly burned and casting glances over his shoulder, like he was afraid someone might be following him. He was headed towards the Bent Nail."
Random witness statement: "I tell you, it was not a man. More like a puppet shaped like a man. A puppet without strings. It was on the rooftop. It hurled something into the crowd below that caused the explosion. I saw those halflings burned alive! I saw them!"
Speak with the dead gnome: "The gnome was named Dalakhar, he said he worked for the Open Lord of Waterdeep. Though I believe he meant Lord Neverember, who is up in Neverwinter now. He said he was on the way to the group of adventurers that rescued Lord Neverember's son Ranaer. He was hoping they would keep the Stone of Galor safe while he eluded pursuit from the Xanathar Guild, who he claims he stole it from."
Speak with the dead humans: "The two cloaked humans in armor were apparently Zhentarim, the snake tattoos gave them away. Their job was to catch Dalakhar, along with someone named Urstul Floxin. The said the gnome had an artifact that would make them all rich."
Renaer interview,
"When the Lord's of Waterdeep ousted my father, I thought his long, dark shadow was finally gone for good. Truth is, I want nothing to do with him. But his spies hound me. One of them, Dalakhar, had been watching me for months. Then, about 2 tendays ago, the spy was suddenly nowhere to be seen. My father didn't trust many people, but he trusted that gnome."
"I spoke to a few of Dalakhar's friends. Apparently, he was on a special mission to retrieve the Stone of Golorr and was afraid that the Zhentarim and the Xanathar Guild were close to catching him. When he heard about my kidnapping, he wanted more information about the adventurers who had rescued me. I think Dalakhar was planning to pay you to deliver the Stone of Golorr to my father in Neverwinter."
"I have no idea why the Masked Lord's ousted my father, but good riddance. He'd already been working on his status in Neverwinter for years at that point anyway. Knowing him he'd rather be a King than an Open Lord any day."
"The Zhents think my father embezzled a large amount of gold while he was Open Lord, and that he hid the dragon's somewhere in the city. They think they can find it using an artifact called the Stone of Golorr, which was in the hands of the Xanathar Guild until recently. Stolen by Dalakhar it now seems. The Zhents thought I knew something about all
Mr Russell "I can start some sort of aid charity for the survivors of this fireball attack, sponsored by Acquisitions Incorporated Team Trollskull of course. It should cost about 50gp to get off the ground."
Mr Russell that's a wonderful idea. I'll contribute with some of my earnings from the boxing matches . If you'll excuse me, I'm headed to the bent nail. I plan to be back in 30 minutes give or take. Gonna see a man about a desk, chair, some possible clues , and maybe other things.

Mr Russell raises his finger with his mouth half open at the contribution offer, pauses a second, then waves it all away "Nevermind, yes, that sounds good."
Down the alley, a small wooden sign above this shop's main door is bare except for a large, bent Nail sticking out of it. The front room contains displays of ornate wooden furniture, as well as a selection of bows and crossbows. The wall behinds the counter is lined with rows of finely carved wooded canes, quarterstaffs, and shields. Behind the counter is a half-elf carving on a piece of wood. He looks up and says: "Well met friend, I'm Tally Fellbranch, welcome to the Bent Nail."
Well met Tally , I am Lord Arthur Darkeyes the 3rd. I'm your neighbor from troll skull manor . It's a pleasure to meet you . I'm in the market for a desk with a single drawer and a chair to go with it. From the looks of things it looks like you have a fine archery collection
You notice a desk and matching chair in the wood of your choice, sturdily made, and with a stylish stain applied to it. Price tag on both of them add up to 10 gold dragons.
He has the full assortment of bows, arrows, crossbows, and bolts. Prices are the same as the PHB.
Yes , sad day indeed. I was eating breakfast when it happened . I heard a cloaked man ran this direction, or rather limped this direction. I was hoping you'd have known a thing or 2 about it. Anyhow, I'll buy the desk and chair , and to be on the safe side I'll buy 1 of your wooden shields. Do you have anyone who could help me carry this stuff to the the manor?

Ooc: I'm guessing it is what, around 1pm in the evening ?
Savra "Nothing more to cover from the Order."
Ooc about 2-3

Mental note: after tomorrow's boxing I must see if I can find Urstul Floxin
Or info at least

With that Arthur heads to the Bent Nail

"Are you looking for archery themed furniture? Because I can make something special if you'd like?"
No sir , just a plain single drawer desk and chair will do, although I'll take a look at your weaponry whilst I am here

So, what do you make of this mornings ruckus?
Tally "Oh I surprisingly slept right through it. Shame about all those that died, though."
Yes , sad day indeed. I was eating breakfast when it happened . I heard a cloaked man ran this direction, or rather limped this direction. I was hoping you'd have known a thing or 2 about it.

Insight check?
You misspelled "Does Arthur believe this guy?"
