He listens for a minute.  (Can he hear anything from the conversation in the room? Perception: 13.)

 

 Rain, you notice this, 

Olin looks around at the rest of the party. "Heh, these are the 'heroes'? What an interesting cast of characters."

Quote from Ben_Evolent >>

The tabaxi stands quietly in the back of the room, almost leaning on the wall.  He's over 6' tall and long-limbed, like other tabaxi you've seen.  He's wearing a loose-fitting beige robe, which you've heard the locals call a thawb.  A dust colored scarf of sorts drapes loosely around his neck and shoulders.  His face is patterned like that of a cheetah.  Below the robe, the toes and claws of his bare feet are visible.  

The tabaxi doesn't speak as the king and Olin trade words, but he looks (glares?) back and forth between them.  By the time the king leaves with his guards, the tabaxi is shifting his weight back and forth and glancing around at the others.  When Tokka goes to handle the gold, the tabaxi responds in a voice that carries, "I would not touch that gold, big spikey turtle."  His Common is a bit clipped with a stacatto cadence, and his voice is a bit reedy and higher-pitched than you'd expect from a human or goliath of his height.  His tone is a flat, so it's difficult to read.  "The more gold humans have, the more jealously they usually guard it." 

(Can Rain tell whether the half-orc was lying or hiding something?  insight? 21)

He looks to Olin and stares for a moment.  "Thief with kobold clansmen, something feels wrong here.  Ey?"

(OOC: I don't own the images, but I wanted to give some visual reference.  Clothing isn't right, but Rain a bit like this: https://www.deviantart.com/titusweiss/art/Eli-maar-668437846.  He's more strongly built, but but still tall and fairly trim.  Maybe half-way between that and this one: https://i.redd.it/dftmkwifgnm31.jpg.) 

(Would I be able to hear that last remark, or would I have to roll a check? What check would it be?)

Quote from KaylonBalderk >>

Tokka looks back at the Tabaxi as he lets the last of the coins fall out of his hand and back into the barrel. He grunts, "Why say you give something if you dont mean to give it? Are such lies common for the humans? And what use will these coins even bring us in our hunt?"

"Well, let me tell you some things, a gift isn't as important as how you use it... or how it's obtained" (Wants to take some gold from the barrel and pocket it, Slight of hand 6) "Also, a lie is more common than you think, and that goes for everyone, I'm sure even you. Lastly, gold has many values for any task, this may include supplies, food... and even power in this world."

 Rain, you notice this, 

There is some light talking with the guards, it is very hushed. Sounds like king is nervous. You don't catch much. "They..." "Fight..." "Goblins..."

 

(Can I roll the same check to hear the same thing?)

A 3 has been rolled, so the king will show you around the castle.

The king walks back in. "Well! My apprentices, I'm sorry for the delay. Mind if I show you around?" He walks into the left room, where there is supplies ready. "This is the supplies room. Up that staircase..." He pointed to a staircase across the room, "Are your rooms, and the dining hall door is under the staircase. He went back into the throne room. "On the right, we have my... Personal things, and I'm sorry to say that is off limits." He walked over to behind the throne, where there was apparently a door nobody noticed, is the throne was large. "We have the dining hall here, with kitchens on either side."

"Do you have any questions? And before you ask, the rooms on the right or off limits, so don't try to go in there. Here, take a map."

Sure, you can roll 1d20. Get something high, you might catch last remark.

(OOC: What kinds of items were in the supply room?)

Very great roll!

This is what you perceived, only BKAce clicks this. You can tell people what you heard though.

(Also, nothing to do with the campaign, but I made this! https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/797326916 A dnd encounter generator.)

Saralyn seems a bit overwhelmed by all the activity, but follows anyway, the floating flames bouncing and bobbing around her head.

(OOC: What kinds of items were in the supply room?)

In the supply room, there are a large assortment of basic weapons, along with some leather armor. There are rations already in packs, plus some bandages as well.

The king looks around. "Well, mind if we discuss the situation over dinner? I have a lot to tell. Marian, do you mind telling them about dinner?"

A human cook with amber eyes and dirty blond hair smiles at you. "Yes, your majesty? We have all kinds of soups, 4 types of cheeses, flatbread, yeast bread, mushroom stew, spiced salads, beef stew, pasta, chicken pot pie, pastries, stuffed squid, cakes and pies, lots of fritters, jelly, roasted duck, onion roast, honey bread, cooked fish, fruit salad, garlic bread, and a large roasted boar. We also have milk, spiced milk, raspberry juice, and seven types of wine. Is there anything else you want with your dinner? We have more food."

The cooks begin getting food, ready. It's apparently all cooked already.

Everyone, do a perception check to see if you notice anything. 1d20 plus whatever modifiers you may have. You can find out A LOT in this moment.

Perception: 18

Saralyn's check: 23

Wow! Both very high. Both of you get a flood of insight.

What you noticed: (Also, only click on yours. The player can decide if they want to share what they saw or not, or if it's even the truth. Don't ruin the fun.)

Olineiros check below:

 Saralyn check below:

Okay,

Saralyn, here you go:

I, without saying a word, pull out my lute, as if I'm preparing for something

Perception: 9

Tokka, here's what you notice:
