"Actually, we're on a job, hoping to speak with another few adventurers- the ones who tried to deal with an automaton a little while ago. Do you know where they are?"
When he hears his name, Trencher just shrugs a bit, and looks over towards Tandor and Mixtli. "How about a few of us go and chat him up and see just how much he can tell us in his state?"
Tandor nods, "Sure. Sounds like a plan." Getting up, he continues, "I'll take the lead." He starts heading in that direction, asking Pelor for aid.
Come on, Gilbert. Let's see if we can charm some answers out of the poor man.
ooc: I believe at +3 Tandor has the highest Persuasion skill. He will also cast Guidance on himself. If possible, he'd also like to get the Help out of Gilbert. Maybe the cat can do some cute, cat thing, perhaps one of those deep-in-the-chest rumbling purrs to relax that person.
Approaching the table, he says "Evenin', my good man. Seems the world has not been kind to you of late. Let me buy you a round and let's talk about that." The priest speaks in his most soothing voice, the one he'd been taught to use with distraught parishioners. The truth was, the man's plight did bother Tandor and he genuinely wanted to help, if he could.
ooc: should I roll Persuasion now? With Advantage?
((Give me a CHA roll for Gilbert first, you can guide him on that and the outcome will determine how he responds to your cat, and then whether you are able to get the help from Gilbert.))

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Gilbert CHA roll: 11
Gilbert moves over to the man and begins nuzzling at this leg, a rumbling purr deep in his chest, trying to exude both comfort and sympathy. If he's not shooed away, he jumps to the seat next to the human and continues to comfort him.
((Doesn't look like you gave Gil guidance! Go ahead and roll that after the fact, and then you can make Tandor's Persuasion roll with Advantage (and his own guidance). Gil's result will be enough to give you the advantage, but higher on the guidance will lower the guy's walls more.))

Gilbert has another go, and this time the man scoops him up in his lap and pushes a barely touched platter of smoked fish towards the cat, who for his part seems to view this as only the right and natural course of events. He is absently petting Gilbert, still with sour look on his face as Tandor approaches. He looks up with bleary eyes, head lolling a bit to the side as they glance over the cleric's gear.
"Is it evening already? Sure, I'll take one. Not looking to convert, but I'll drink your beer, preacher man. The cat wants one too."

Tandor eyes the man, then quirks an eyebrow at Gilbert. Oh, do you know?
You heard my friend.
The priest chuckles, signals to a passing server to bring drinks for all...the cat included. After the drinks arrive, he sits there, sipping his mead, taking his time, giving the man time to further relax. Then, "Friend, my name is Tandor, and I want to be honest with you. My companions and I," he gestures around, "have been hired by the same people that hired you, and for the same job. That's part of why I'm talking to you, but the smaller part. Pelor, the god of Sun and Light, is my guide, and I can see you're in pain and a pain shared is often a pain lessened. Will you share your pain with me, my friend?"
Mixtli joins for the drink, but let's Tandor do the talking for now.

(to everyone else) "yes, we probably should." (to himself) "unfortunate, if it was autonomous there could have been a breakthrough in research."
Mialee gets the probable location of the last group and heads out to go find them.

"perhaps the most diplomatic of us should speak to him. not myself, of course, i seem to be as personable as tiamat herself, it seems."
"Seems like a job for Tandor, then? Or Mixtli or Trencher- among the group of us, Liber and I are likely the worse for persuasion."
When he hears his name, Trencher just shrugs a bit, and looks over towards Tandor and Mixtli. "How about a few of us go and chat him up and see just how much he can tell us in his state?"
