"it would probably be useful to know the locations where the creature was last seen. Perhaps one of us could barter with the old man for a cheaper price?"
"Good thinking Aura, we'll go with that. Who's best with talk here? Although I believe one of us won't quite make the cut for that..." She said as she glanced at Falser.
"I'm in agreement with Quaxly. The map is worth the price, especially since it comes from a map maker who lives in the area. It will help us a clearer picture of what's going on and perhaps give us a clue of where the creature is staging its attacks from.", Bjorn is quick to add in a low voice to the group. "Should I negotiate with him? Perhaps he needs the services of an herbalist or apothecary"
“Better than getting lost..” Falser taps his chin thoughtfully and eyes the old map maker. “Ya know….” His mischievous grin firmly back in place. “Could just distract him and let the great Quickfingers do his thing.” Of course, he is just kidding. Sort of.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Bjorn touches the tiny silver scroll hanging from his necklace and intones softly, "Oghma guide me." (Guidance cantrip) "Now, now, Good Sir! We do have the money for the map, we just need to determine it's true worth. For all we know you may be an overly generous sort and could be giving us too much for a mere 5 gold. We are just offering our services as POSSIBLE alternatives. Let us see the map and we can determine it's TRUE worth" he happily retorts to the old man. (Persuasion roll (+4) : 10 + Guidance [1d4] : 4)
Bjorn smiles upon him "Let us get this done and we can let you get on with you busy day!"
(OOC) Woot natural 20 +4 + 2 for 26 total, got the very hard level :) I guess you could say he hasn't been complimented like that too often in his life, may be no one has ever accused him of being generous before OR he feels like his life really didn't have purpose and now sees an opportunity to prove this to someone who might actually appreciate that his skills ARE worthwhile.
AT the very least he should be willing to show off the map (and any others if we are appreciative enough)
The mans eyes tear up, and he gives a small smile. " You challenge my skills? Let's see if you could possibly find someone better than me!" He than whips out the map, and places it on the table before you with a fancy flourish.

Bjorn settles down and examines the map, noting it's the prominent features and especially attempts to determine its age (how worn the edges are, does the ink look faded or does it look brand new?) (Investigation +5 : 13)
Falser walked over to stand beside Bjorn as he examined the map. The halfling would squint down at the parchment as his comrade studied it for a moment or two and then glare at the map maker. Finally he spoke up, “You don’t have many friends do ya, old man?” Should’ve put a bit of coin on the old cadger comment earlier, Copperkettle surely would’ve added to his pitiful fortune.
The map appears well treated, the edges straight, and without a single notch in the paper. The ink is vibrant and fresh, and the map shows exquisite map work.
"A quite excellent map." comments Bjorn. He looks up at the map maker, "You've must have done this quite recently. Were you just keeping your remarkable skills in practice or was there some recent change in the area that you wanted to update?"
“Ah, no. It is simply one of my favorite. You see these details here?” He asks, pointing to individual trees. “I put my heart into this piece, so have kept it in peak condition.”
I’m so sorry for not existing for so long :(. Idk if anyone here cares about this anymore, but if you are willing to restart this, or a different campaign, I have recovered my account so would be able to keep it going
Kimara stepped back to the group, making sure to whisper, "Everyone, do ye think we should buy the map?"

Cats go Moo!
"Yes, Bjorn, perhaps he needs a way to improve his memory or such."
“Better than getting lost..” Falser taps his chin thoughtfully and eyes the old map maker. “Ya know….” His mischievous grin firmly back in place. “Could just distract him and let the great Quickfingers do his thing.” Of course, he is just kidding. Sort of.
“So! You gonna buy or not! If not, get out of my house!” The old man raises his voice.
Like being a player, love dming.

Hi.

”Well.. what’s the verdict, Bjorn?”
(late note : forgot to add guidance to the roll so add 4 to the investigation roll of 13. )

I’m not sure how many people from this campaign are still active, but I would be very willing to restart this!
