Steel says, “So you just want us to remove the influence of these gods from this city, yes?”

Flint says, “Then Flint can get his so—!“

He’s interrupted by Steel’s tail in his mouth.

"His so?" Vesper asks, confused. She turns back to the captain, somewhat disoriented now. "Forces of the Lower Planes? How would we do anything to them, if they haven't been seen?""

 “We don’t know. We can only suspect it’s forces of the lower planes because that fire is hellfire. It’s extremely deadly.”

"Hellfire?" She blinks once, twice, again--- "Where can we find this pirate of yours? We need to do some investigation first." 

Before the captain can leave, she turns to him: "I'd like my payment up front, if you please. I won't abscond with it-I want to stock up before venturing over there. I don't think that we should just stroll over there without taking caution." 

((Persuasion 8 (7 + 1), haha))

 Flint says, with Steel whispering in his ear: “Look, if we want any chance at both removing the Dead Three from your city AND recovering Elturel? We’re gonna need some upfront payment. Arrows and potions don’t come cheap these days.”

 Zodge nods. "I'll pay you a total of 150 gold up front. That should be enough. You can find Tarina over at the Elfsong Tavern, in the Lower City." He gives you directions to the tavern.

 I assume we should make our way there then. Elturel can wait.

 Ok. Let me pull up the description…

So, as you guys walk over to the tavern, you see some of the regular aspects of daily life: people shouting at each other, someone getting robbed, the Flaming Fist beating up someone… you guys get to the tavern in a pretty short amount of time, just as night is beginning to fall. It’s a rather nice tavern inside, with oaken chairs, soft music, and a bartender polishing glasses behind the bar. The patrons, on the other hand, are round and rowdy, and there’s a lot of gambling happening. Zodge gave you a description of Tarina, but you don’t see her in here. There’s several doors leading out of the taproom, and a set of stairs going up.

 …the Flaming Fish beating up someone…

 FLAMING FISH!

I’ll wait for somebody else to make a descision.

"Where's Tarina?" Vesper asks out loud, observing the room. Although the captain said this was where she was to be found, the pirate---sorry, privateer----doesn't seem to be there. Approaching the bar, she points to the drink of the person next to her, hoping that a nice cup of drink will defuse the tension. 

Once the tender approaches, she'll turn to them and ask: "Do you know anyone by the name Tarina who frequents this place? We've been looking for her tales and her advice."

((Persuasion is a 2 (Nat 1 + 1). Too easy. Somebody kill my PC so I can get a luckier one.))

 You picked the wrong person to talk too. You turn and see a slab of muscle wearing a bandana, who turns and grins at you with his mouth full. He speaks with a thick, gruff voice. "And why do you want to know about 'er?"

"Oh...um..." She trails off, trying to figure out the best way to phrase it. "We're fixin' to figure out the mystery of that disappeared city o'er yonder."

 "Is that so?" He leans in. His breath reeks of fish. "Me and me mates are old... acquaintances of Tarina." Make an Insight check.

Jasper was completely useless during the fight (he was sleepy) so now he's gonna try his best to get in there and talk to the guy.

 You see everything I described, with the addition of someone leaning in and talking to Vesper.
