(apologies I've been away for awhile, just read through everything there and looks good.)
Nestor upon hearing of the splitting up thought this was the best course of action with Art focuses more on public parts and Nathanael more focused on nobility. Not entirely sure how much ground Art would cover on his own assisting him by taking one side of town as he took the other was for the best, it also allowed for Nestor to keep an eye on eye from time to time. Although Nestor would have been well suited for meeting with nobility due to his family name, the issue arose having his presence be known there would likely draw unwanted attention to himself and his family perhaps. At that Nestor tagged along with Art with Nestor quickly telling Nathanael to try and blend in as best he can giving him a few pointers for his meeting with nobility. At that Nestor goes on his way more focusing on the poorer parts of the city as word typically spreads fast there and currency is typically very welcome to gain information in these parts.
Art walks over to a very crime ridden part of the city, there are burning carriage tires everywhere and nobody is on the streets. You are encountered by a shady looking man who offers you pristine pieces of artwork.
"Ah I am fine, these are some fine pieces but unfortunately I am travelling light at the moment and simply passing through but perhaps I could buy something else off you?" At that I'd like to look around me to ensure no one is trying to pickpocket me as I make pleasant conversation with this shady looking man. I'll roll perception for it, I got an 18+3 so a 21 for my perception check. After that I will continue to talk with the shady man constantly keeping an eye on my surroundings. "I want any information you may have on a cult that follows something called the Rebirther for their real name cannot be spoken. Names of members, useful addresses and how one joins this cult if you know and when joining if one becomes corrupted once inside. I know a lot to ask but I'm going everywhere I can to get this information." At that Nestor slips a gold coin, "And there's more where that came from the more useful information you give me."
You see someone deep in the darkest part of the alleyway load a large crossbow, the man says after taking the gold "Sorry but I don't know what on earth you're talking about, but I do have some artwork of an eldritch horror that came to me in my nightmare last night called 'Rebirther',"
"Interesting, may I see it?" I keep up the illusion that I have not seen a person loading up a crossbow but do shift my eyes from under my mask to glance back to ensure I can make sure they are not about to fire at me and if they do fire upon me ready to dodge it as best I can.
You dodge very quickly out of the way as the person comes out of the shadows and starts to reload their crossbow again, the shady looking man takes out a dagger and attempts to pickpocket you in the midst of the panic rolling a 12 and stealing 3 gold points. He then runs over and stand next to his companion.
"Well then this was not unexpected I suppose, no one is to ever be trusted but I have you the benefit of the doubt and yet you do this to me. Well gentlemen this is how this is going to go, I'd rather not fight the two of you and make fools of the two of you or hell even end you where you stand. Thus I grant you one opportunity to leave now before this becomes ugly." I say this to intimidate them, I rolled a Nat 20+2 so a 22 in total.
"The trouble simply wasn't worth it, a few coins out of my pocket was simply worth accepting and although impossible to discern if they have families to feed part of me hopes it will go towards their families or someone they care about it." At that Nestor watched on for a moment as the two scamper off only then looking back to Art, "Let's get moving then, we are still stumped for leads on this cult."
"Well don't worry about leads, cause I know a person," Art says as he leads you down a flight of stairs to a door guarded by a strong and well trained looking firbolg. The firbolg asks "Name, business or pleasure."
(Might just be being half asleep and things not registering properly but I understand the whole business or pleasure thing but what do they mean by name? Like are they asking my name? Wondering if I want to know someone's name that is in there or what?)
The firbolg doesn't respond and says once again "Business or pleasure," which Art responds with "Business," which then the Firbolg lets you in, inside is a casino.
Talking to Art quietly, "Well I guess pleasant conversation isn't much of a thing here." After seeing it is a casino Nestor goes on instant alert just in case he is pickpocketed again. "So who do you know here then Art?"
"I know the owner and how to get to him, he's got the largest amount of information and dirt on anyone and everyone in the entire city," Art says before leading you over to a wall which has the pattern painted on it slightly out of place. He then kicks it and the wall swings open to reveal a cold stone hallway to a door at the end of it. Art walks in but seems very on guard.
(My Apoligies for the inactivity, something ocurred)
"No thank you i'm trying to keep low" He stares back at the owner and extends his hand for a handshake "Nathanael Panagos, it's a pleasure to meet the owner of this fine establishment"

"Follow me," says the man as he leads you down the alleyway, the person fires the crossbow so make a dexterity saving throw.
I rolled a 16+6 so a 22 for my dexterity save.

They run off with their earnings, Art says "Thank you for choosing not to escalate the situation, anyways, shall we get going?"
"The trouble simply wasn't worth it, a few coins out of my pocket was simply worth accepting and although impossible to discern if they have families to feed part of me hopes it will go towards their families or someone they care about it."

(They are asking you your name.)
(Ah I see, cheers for clarifying it for me.)
"Hello I'm Nestor and this is my companion Art. I didn't catch your name though?"
The firbolg doesn't respond and says once again "Business or pleasure," which Art responds with "Business," which then the Firbolg lets you in, inside is a casino.

Alright, so back to Nathanael, a staff member offers you some of the champagne. It looks and seems like liquid gold.
