“Just so long as there is something with caffeine in it,” Fianna grumbles. “I thought I’d get a chance to snooze through a lecture, not be running around on a wild goose chase…”
With that thought Fianna takes a quick look around to see if there are indeed any geese running around wildly…
As you all enter the cafe you see quite a few students sitting around enjoying some snacks and drinks, but no geese. There are, however, a couple of owl-like people bustling about.
Darby sees a female gnome behind the counter all alone working hard to fix drinks and shuffle trays of goods about, but she looks cheery enough albeit rather overwhelmed.
Aard'len points to the counter, "Clue number three..." He ushers their large centaur companion to the fore, ficuring that their large stature will get them seen without any delay. As he wanders through the cafe, he listens put to catch any snippets of conversation that might help towards the last clue.
At the counter, he sends his thoughts to the serving gnome, "What drinks do you have available?"
"Hi," Darby says to the gnome. "You look like you need some help," they add with a beaming smile. "Have you had more visitors today than normal, " the ask.

As he wanders through the cafe, he listens put to catch any snippets of conversation that might help towards the last clue.
At the counter, he sends his thoughts to the serving gnome, "What drinks do you have available?"
The gnome points to a small chalkboard sign on the counter with a short list of coffees and baked goods, then goes back to moving things about.
"Hi," Darby says to the gnome. "You look like you need some help," they add with a beaming smile. "Have you had more visitors today than normal, " the ask.
"Beginning of the school year! Always very busy! I'm not sure if you can help though.." She gives you all an expectant glance.
Katar, looking anxious and excited, looks at the various team members to see where the sheet is. Anyone paying attention notices his eyes seem to glow for a few moments before fading to their normal color.
Grabbing the list of clues from Kiebel, Fianna quickly turns around and presents it to the gnome lady. "I would like to serve this up to you!" Fianna says with a hopefully sorry then a quick turn of her head and a whispered "Sorry!" to the centaur.
"Oh great! Let me see! Oh yes! Goodness I could use some help back here! Come on, come on!" The chirpy busy gnome waves you around the counter. "I could really use a hand restocking some sandwiches and muffins and things! Here, take these sacks and fill the shelves! That would be so so very helpful!!!" She pulls over a couple of backpack almost looking sacks and plops them down with their main pouches open and then heads off to fix some drinks and bus some tables while you begin restocking.
Anyone helping to restock the shelves make a Dexterity check please!
Aard'len sees Fianna get conscripted into cake stacking and chuckles to himself before offering to take a batch of muffins off her hands. He croaks out a quick word - "Helping." - then extends his hand. Sliding away from Aard'len's own hand appears en ephemeral looking appendage,"Many hands, light work and all that." Another few moment and he croaks out something again, his raspy voice making it harder to catch, before he starks stacking the baked goods delicately.
With all of you helping, and Aard'len really making a solid effort, Aisla comes back over, looking rather impressed. "Wow that's great! So many students have just watched me come and go and didn't even really try to help! I saw the way you were working hard there," she looks at Aard'len, "so here, take this, as a special thank you from me for doing such a great job!" She beamed for a moment and pulled out a scroll from one of the side pockets on the sacks, handing it to Aard'len. "Hope you find it useful! And to all of you, better keep going on your hunt!" She gave a sly wink and then pulled her sacks back to the stores behind the counter.
Katar turns to the others and points to the door he spotted "I think that door leads to a café, that could be where the next clue was pointing us."
"Let's go!" Darby declares confidently striding towards the door that Katar pointed out.
The dwarf looks around the cafe once entering stowing their pennant in her pack.
"Oh, it smells nice in here," they announced once they've looked around the cafe.
Perception 4 / investigation 21 looking for anything out of the ordinary or curious to the artificer.
They dwarf has a nose for fine coffees and bakery goods!

"It says 'serve up this list for your refreshment'" Fianna points out. "Maybe we need to give her the paper?"
The gnome points to a small chalkboard sign on the counter with a short list of coffees and baked goods, then goes back to moving things about.
Katar notices that the gnome behind the counter does seem rather busy, maybe even too busy for just one person.
"Beginning of the school year! Always very busy! I'm not sure if you can help though.." She gives you all an expectant glance.
"Ah! What do you have there?" The cute little gnome lady holds out her hand and smiles.
"Eeeee!" Fianna lets out before catching herself and readopting a manner of cool detachment. "I mean I guess that's it!"
"Hurry," Fianna says, pushing whoever has their list forward. "Give her the sheet..."
(who took the sheet? :) )
((Storyduck / Kiebel Proudfoot was first to post "As the list appears in her hands she looks around at who is gathered."))

"I'm not sure if we finished this clue or got shanghaied into working here," Fianna says with a pout but goes about stacking shelves anyway.
