" a singing elf ghost? What will they think up next...I suppose since they names the tavern after it, it does no harm? They probably would not appreciate it being dispelled, eh?"
He chuckles a bit as he pictures the look on the owners face upon such a situation.
" very well, isnt Miss Tarnia due to sing us another sort of tune? One about some dead evil gods?"
"But how long?" Ivan repeats. Getting really annoyed at this point, he stands on up. "If I can recall where the nearest guard post is, I'll head off. We don't need to waste our precious resources on the common criminal."
DM, how long will it take if I can use an action and a bonus action to dash to the nearest outpost?
"Arturo, dendawa motum." Ivan remarks. The words of a spell, his hand waving. Then. He sprints on off as fast as his legs can carry him. Which is... well. Pretty fast. Assuming he's unimpeded, he gets to the guard house. Explaining how an unruly group called the Uncivil Serpents are trying to kill him. They can catch these criminal scum at the Elfsong Tavern. And then he's back again. All done in a matter of 2 minutes. "Two minutes. Not five." He corrects himself from earlier.
Feature:
As a member of one of the elite families of Baldur’s Gate, you may pass through city gates without paying tolls, mingle among the Gate’s nobility unquestioned, and impress those on the lookout for wealthy patrons. You are welcome in the Upper City and may stay there after dark without being harassed or evicted. Your word is accepted over others’ without question, and any corruption among guards or government officials tends to work in your favor, not against you — at least until you make some effort to expose it.
"It would be best to wait. We can prepare an ambush and I already told the guards that they'll be here. Don't waste our energy when we already have a superior plan. We -know- they're on the way."
"Fine. Fine. Just help us take care of the threat when it arrives. You will be compensated very quickly." Ivan states, tiredly. A glance at Tarina. "And protect her at all costs."
"My dearest young master (referring to Ivan), while the additional assistance is welcome, this does throw discretion out the window." he gestures towards Tarina. "I'll pay a round with you Tarina, nothing like a good test of wits right?" He chuckles as he sits down with the spy trying to put her at ease as she appears to have little patience.

Coxif casts mage hand as a spectral purple-ish, gloved hand appears as it searches through his belongings grabbing a gold coin. It delicately places the coin on the table.
“Alright! is this sufficient? I’m assuming it’s going to be a quick and friendly game”

"We're supposed to take care of the criminals first." the young Bormul reminds the other man.
"No. You would make literally everybody in town unhappy if you got rid of the ghost."
Getting sick and annoyed at all of the nonsense from his comrades, Ivan just falls silent. Waiting for Tarina to speak, his eyes on her.
"While we wait for some unsavory company would you care to join me in a game of Baldurs bones?" Tarina asks

Well at a rate of 90 feet per 6 seconds you'd get there in about a minute
Before you leave Tarina says "if you want your information, it's up to you to stop the pirates of the uncivil serpent from killing me"

" uncivilized serpents...sounds like not good peoples. Maybe we just go and find them instead of waiting around..."
"It would be best to wait. We can prepare an ambush and I already told the guards that they'll be here. Don't waste our energy when we already have a superior plan. We -know- they're on the way."
A couple guards of the Flaming Fist follow you getting there in about 5 minutes
You've been talking for only a couple minutes
The uncivil serpent is a pirate ship that most fear in Baldurs gate
The guards looking confused say" you do realize we will need some ah... funds for our trouble."
