Usul uses his turn to take a couple steps back, putting his back to the wall of whichever building is near, pulls a small mouse from his pocket, looks at the group, and says to the mouse ((in mouse, or however my Speak with Small Animals works)) "This group of people certainly keeps things interesting eh Dib?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Veryes seeing that everyone looks a little confused tries to take advantage of the momentary confusion to find an easy resolution and settle things down. Veryes looking to the two drunks says "Listen boys. We've got important business here to take care of. I'm impressed by your perseverance. I'll tell you what. I'll give just you guys the answer to the riddle and then you can go earn some drinks off your friends trying to get them to guess. The answer is... he was buying numbers. Trust me, no one will ever guess it and you'll earn plenty of free booze! Have fun with all the free drinks you'll get inside" She'll then turn away hoping that her ploy worked and they walk back inside.
Persuasion: 18
She's also going to use the Ready action if possible. (I realize it was kind of a long monologue so if that's her whole action that's fine) If either of them makes a move to attack she'll cast vicious mockery
(ooc: I think half our troubles here is because the DM wanted the answer :) hehe! I was also trying to figure if that riddle would fit in this world but you could be hiring a calligrapher)
(I thought the riddle had something to do with the sequence, and I'll admit I don't quite get it, but that's me. I made you guys roll initiative to force some kind of action so everyone is just standing there staring at Shadrach and he at you. Which is what I'm worried is about to happen again.)
The two men look at Veryes and then each other and the prospect of being able to use this riddle as a way to score free drinks is just as good, if not better, than being able to get paid for adventuring. They quickly hustle back into the Keg.
Shadrach says, "I was just walking back to the Portal," he nods over his shoulder to The Yawning Portal, two doors down. "You said you had information? Did those two know something - did they think they were going on an adventure with you?"
Veryes says to Shadrach "We have a little information and no, those drunks were mistaken about going on an adventure with us. It seems Anna may have gone on one herself though. DO you know if she's the adventuring type?"
Veryes is going to do her usually interpreting for Crush "Our big friend here found out that Anna talked to a pair of dwarves shortly before she went missing. Have you ever heard of the Stonetooth brothers?"
Shadrach says, "The Stonetooth brothers? She's involved with them? Ugh." He looks back into the Keg, where the party has resumed without any threat of violence. "I had wondered if she had gone somewhere... You think she's, what, gone into the Undermountain with those two, or what?"
(OOC: work wiped me out today big time, sorry for not much tonight)
(No worries) Veryes still feeling a little apprehensive about Shad here since he wasn't very forthcoming with information when they first met just stares up at him for a second, then "Perhaps. We're not sure yet. We just came across that information so we're still trying to determine that. Sounds like you know of them though. Any idea where we could find them? Or have you seen them since she's gone missing?"
Shadrach says, "I know of them, but I haven't seen them lately. This isn't good if they're involved. How certain are you that it's them?" He pauses. "Do you have anything else to go on?"
Usul, anxious to get away from this unhelpful pile of metal, steps forward and says "That's about all we have for now, and even this is hearsay. Perhaps you can tell us a bit about these Brothers before we continue our work so we can determine if there is any truth in the matter."
Shadrach says, "What?"

Aria looks over to Crush and nudges him... Hey big guy... didn't you find something out??

"Ive heard it both ways."
Sen, suspicious of Shadrach as he is suspicious of most people, remains quiet and (hopefully) hidden.
