Tandoor and Mialee spot the contact from the beverage shop perusing a stall few vendors down, studiously not looking in the direction of the party, but taking their leave of that shop and moving to the next closest shop, entering and greeting the proprietor and taking some time to decide what they might want to purchase.

Liber's hand smells strongly of onion, but as long as he can resist the urge to sniff it, his eyes are unaffected.

Tandor taps Mialee on the shoulder then nods in that direction.  "I'm thirsty, Mialee.  Let's get a drink," he says.  He checks the area over, looking for threats.

Gilbert, keep your eyes open.

Sure, Gilbert, whatever would I do without your wise counsel.  Here I thought I could walk around this place with my eyes closed. Thanks.

Despite the sarcasm, the cat's eyes never stopped roving.

Tandor Perception 8

Gilbert Perception 7

"Mmm, maybe we get some chocolate brandy, you mean? Let's go."

Mialee follows, scanning the crowd for any thefts and keeping an eye on the contact.

Perception 20

Neither of you see anything that stands out as a threat. The shop assistant purchases some meat and vegetables on a wooden skewer and glances around, her eyes passing over the party before she turns and moves across the thoroughfare, eating her snack and wandering among the shops, before turning in by an area that seems to be where a few vendors set up in the area stow their carts while their wares are displayed in their tents.

Liber purchases a drink for himself, and some water to wash his hands of the onion.

As the others move to follow their contact, Dain trails behind, keeping an eye out for anyone paying too much attention to what they are doing...

Perception is a 10.

((Let's have Performance checks from everyone please?))
Alston, who is still tagging along: 9

performance: 3

Tandor Performance 13+Guidance (if it can be applied) 3

Alston kind of fumbles around in his pockets as he keeps looking around, but Mialee and Tanador generally manage to not look like the suspicious individuals they in turn are looking for.

Liber performance: 4

Liber is among the more suspicious individuals about, as he keeps sniffing his hand and making faces.

"grrrr........why did that gnome have to bother about those onions? now my hand reeks and it will be hard to clean...." Liber grumbles to himself as an attempt to salvage whatever cover there is.

Dain's performance is a 10.

Yeah, there's a few folks looking at the grumpy dwarf and the dragonborn who keeps sniffing his hand and muttering darkly to himself.

Your contact has moved out of sight while half of your party plays it cool while looking for suspicious individuals... the most suspicious of which are the other half of your party.

You know, you people suck at this kind of stuff, Gilbert sends, with a sort of hopeless fondness.

I think you're right, Gilbert. Tandor replies.  Motioning to Mialee, he says, "Come on Mialee, let's the two of us head in this direction," and he gestures vaguely in the direction the contact went. "Let's see what interesting stuff is this way."  He waits for her acknowledgement before heading off.

The cat trails along, his golden eyes bright and alert.

"Sounds good. I'll keep an eye out for our friend."

She scans the crowd for the contact as she follows Tandor.

perception or investigation, same bonus: 15

Tandor nods, realizing he needs to do the same.  Gilbert, I know you're already doing it but let me know if you see anything.

ooc: Gilbert giving Help to Tandor's Perception

Perception 27

Liber gives them time to move off, before following discreetly.
