"Bookworm." Says Thalanil with a shrug. "Everyone calls me a bookworm, might as well." He says to Rieka. "What are we doing now?"

Akyan will relay any information given to him to everyone else who will listen. He glares at Malikily when he talks to Sheerow. Then he looks around for anyone who might have useful information.

Perception: 4

This is a tavern full of bounty hunters and mercenaries, where they probably all know something about anything.

(Is that all I found out with my perception check?)

Rieka can't help but laugh a little at Thalinel's alias, but grows more serious at his question. 

"Best to ask around for some information on the darkness in this place," she says, and picks out the most talkative looking mercenary. "Let's go to them first, Xo, you're with us."

With that, she makes her way over to them. 

Aggro’gosh, the Orcish Owlrider, is a LE mercenary that has been connected to at least 15 separate animal right’s attacks, all centered around the freeing of owl mounts.

Rieka sits down next to Aggro'gosh, and gives him her best attempt at a friendly smile. 

"How about I buy you a round?" she says in orcish, her accent terrible but still understandable. "I'm new here. What can you tell me about New Mibeji?"

Akyan will sit close to a few of the mercenaries and attempt to eaves drop on them. Though he will not go far from Malikily as he want's to keep an eye and an ear on him.

Perception: 18

Investigation: 21

(Akyan can hear it all, since the bar room is smaller than what it seemed outside.)

”Thank human for round,” Aggro’gosh replies. “Mibeji is good city. Has nice tavern. Better than the Demon. Wyrm has sounds in walls.”

"Sounds in the walls? What do you mean?" Rieka questions as she gestures for the barkeep to come over. "Can I get a tankard of watered down ale for me, and for you?"

“Animal noises. And sometimes monsters noises. And sometimes explosions.” Aggro’gosh replies.

Akyan does not engage in conversation just yet. Instead he continues to listen. Trying to pick out any information that sounds useful.

"Say, my good sir, have you by any chance seen any flying cats around this area?" Thalanil asks Aggro’gosh.

Malikily walks over to the two samurai and says In a quiet voice, "I was told to come here to pick up the" Malikiky leans in, "The tressym." He then whispers, "All hail the queen, the Rightful Queen."

Deception: 5

Akyan sees Malikily approach the guards and hurries to his feet. “That idiot!” He thinks, “It might not even be there!”

Seeing Malikily walk up to the samurai, Sheerow puts her face in her hands exasperatedly and sighs an "Oh my god" under her breath. She continues walking over in the direction of the bathrooms. "I'm so sorry, Akayan," she thinks at him through the link. She sees Reika's busy with the Orc, and decides to leave her out of the mind connection, so she can focus on her conversation. "Any luck?" She says to Akayan.

(Does Sheerow see any other entrances or exits in the tavern, or any vents that might be big enough for her to crawl through?)

"Apparently you can hear animals in the walls of this tavern. Some how that makes it better than other taverns. Perhaps we can find out where the noises originate after you check that room. In the meantime, I have to deal with Malikily. Hopefully this works. If not, well we will all be in trouble." As he thinks this to Sheerow, he walks up behind Malikily. "So you are the one I'm looking for." He stands so that Malikily is to his left and the guards are to his right. Addressing the guards he says, "I had my suspicions earlier, but this right here proves it." He gestures between Malikily and the guards. "Did you really think you could just waltz in here and take the little beast? Firehand must be desperate if he's hiring the likes of you." He looks to the guards, "This must look confusing, I was hired by the higher ups identify and capture any of Firehand's minions. Looks like I just got one." As he talks, he tries to get a look inside the room, (If there is a window.)

I'll re-roll those, I don't remember if those were the actual results. It flagged me when I edited it.

Use whichever you want

“Flying cat? A sight to see,” Aggro’gosh replies to Thalanil.

The bartender shakes his head at Malikaly. “If you’ve been hired to take him in, then take him from the tavern. Otherwise… we’ll deal with him.”
