"Hmmm return to your former self? That sounds intriguing. What changed? If you need my expertise, don't hesitate to ask....within reason of course." he nods and almost smiles "So where to next? another shop or should we check in with the group? I'd also like to meet with these Order of the Gauntlet and possibly Harper folks if you're interested. I'm no bard or cleric, but if they have purpose in fostering order and protecting the good then I would think they are my kind of people." he pause for a moment and walk towards the Tiger's Eye unless Bruvir states otherwise.
Stopping in his tracks and continuing to face forward away from Avys, Bruvir said, "I am... was a Storm Giant; a child of the All-Father. And unless you're capable of removing a curse or defeating a sorceress strong enough to play me for a fool with little effort, then I doubt you'd be able to help..." There was a tinge of sadness and resignation in his voice as he spoke. After a beat - where he made certain that the blue-man did not laugh - he continued walking towards the Tiger's Eye.
TIGER'S EYE (BRUVIR/AVYS) A handsome human male answers the door. He's sharply dressed, professional, and smoking a small pipe. "Hello, there. Is there something I can do for you?"
As if a machine - and a rather brusque one at that - Bruvir, with almost no introduction, repeated the same exact question as he had in the previous store: "We've recently moved into the old manor. Is there anything this neighborhood needs or is lacking? We're trying to open a business that'll be profitable fast in this area."
Avys turns his head curiously at Bruvir upon the revealed information.. "Oh how terrible, yet fascinating. Perhaps I cannot assist you...yet, but I do think with the right amount of research and proper tools, we might be able to sort out this issue down the line. Ehhm would you like me to keep this information private? Just know that you do have my support and I never do anything half-heartedly" He crosses his arms somewhat uncomfortably as he rubs his hands to his elbows.

Is there anything this neighborhood needs or is lacking? We're trying to open a business that'll be profitable fast in this area." "Ah! Welcome to the neighborhood. Well, i'm a private investigator, so if you need something found or investigated, i'm your man."
As the door opens and he witnesses the interaction between Bruvir and the investigator, "Ah yes, excellent. Let us introduce ourselves properly. My name is Avys, I am a tinkerer, crafter and a person who hunts for all things magic.. my friend here is named Bruvir. Our group has a variety of skills and expertise that we would like to contribute to this community, yourself included. As a detective, do you have any information we should know about current affairs? Folks we should be concerned with?
Kasha casts Faerie Fire on the Scarecrow, "Time to light up, buster!" She throws luminescent silkworms at the scarecrow, here's the save: 5"Got eem!"she yells.

"Nice to meet you! I'm Vincent Trench. Well, if you'd like - for a small fee - I can spread the word and posts signs with information regarding anything you'd like." he says.

"Nice lights, Kasha. Should we consider this a disco?" Syl quips as he swaggers up to the Scarecrow, whipping around with his staff before crouching down and giving each knee a mean hook-around kick.
Syl cracks his knuckles. "Let's see if this one was as difficult as the first, eh?"
Syl repeats the same maneuver as last time, whipping his quarterstaff directly on the thing's head before twisting around and jabbing both bony elbows into the thing's stomach.

"It's no secret and I care not who you tell." Then softening ever so slight (well at least compared to how he usually was) he added, "And while I doubt you'll be able to do anything... the thought is appreciated. Perhaps... you can help me with an experiment I'm working to reverse myself. You seem like you'd enjoy that type of thing."

"Thought you said you were an investigator, not a ads salesman." Bruvir told Mr. Trench, if that was even his real name; Bruvir had his doubts.

Avys nods in agreement with Bruvir, growing more intrigued and even fond of the giant, though he lacks tact. "How about this, we help you and you help us, no coin need be spent at this point in time, but know that if you have any difficulties with your next job, you have an additional 5 astonishing and talented individuals to rely on. In return, you will pass along our information to clients in the area for both our business and our skills... if you know what I mean. If you require protection or someone needs to be found, we'd be happy to work in harmony with your establishment. Surely this is agreeable no? Furthermore, if you find yourself in possession of any odd or magical items, I'll happily give you a discount for my services in identifying and appraising anything particularly intriguing."

"Why are you so angry?" Syl asks, wagging his finger in the face of the scarecrow before whipping his quarterstaff directly on the seam of a shoulder and jabbing the thing in the stomach. "We're not even Kenku. Or crows, for that matter." He gives a surprised look at Kasha below, ensuring not to accidentally bring his quarterstaff down on the wolf. He wonders what would happen if he yells 'fetch' and lobs his quarterstaff in the distance.
