Lucento — in a town he knows to be occupied by a toymaker famous for making lifelike dolls, and a source for pies that are suspiciously delicious — passes his vastly overpriced pastries around the group to whoever would like one.
Føpé shares his pie with Revenge. Toy Maker Sir, we're looking for a girl. Føpé stands on his toes to see over the counter. Barnaby, what was her name?
A short, heavyset man comes lumbering out of the back room. He has a slender beard and is wearing a threadbare jester's outfit, including a purple and green jester's hat. If you look in Roll20, I've shared a picture with you.
On his shoulder, there is riding a monkey, and the monkey is wearing a tutu. It looks perfectly content. He recites a greeting you can immediately tell he's uttered a hundred thousand times before:
Wyelcome, friends, to the House of Blinsky, where hyappiness and smiles can be bought at bargain prices. Perhaps you know a leetle child in need of joy? A leetle toy for a girl or boy?
After a brief pause, during which he is examining all the people in his shop, his eyes settle on Ireena. He goes slackjawed. Is it . . . you???
Ireena just gawks right back. You can see on her face that none of this means anything to her.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Barnaby Streep’s protectively in front of Ireena, puffing himself up as much as he can so that he knew are adequately defended. You who? How do you know this woman. Why are you making dolls in her image? She is under our protection, so don’t even begin to think that you will be taking advantage of her. Intimidate: 8 Also portent: 3, 12
Blinsky looks straight terrified. He looks over your shoulders to see if anyone is out front. Seeing the coast is clear, he rushes to the front of the shop and locks the door from inside. He motions for you to follow him to his workshop in the back.
This room is tiny. You have to organize yourselves with Lucento in the back, because he's the tallest, and he's just barely inside the room. Surrounding you are mounds of fabric, buttons, scraps of wood, and bits of string, along with other forms of junk you imagine he is planning on turning into toys. Make a Perception check; on a 10 or higher you may read this:
There doesn't seem to be anything of value here.
He sits on his stool and tries to gather himself.
I don't know what to say (imagine a thick Russian accent: s-ey). Izek - Izek Strazni, who helps the Burgomaster - he asks me to make this doll. Over and over and over again, he describes to me this person. Every time I make it just so. I never (ny-ever) saw this person. Who is she? Blinsky does not know. And now she is here!
She looks to Barnaby, who has cowed him so completely. I do not know if she is safe here, small man. I do not know. Izek is very powerful. I cannot help you. You are not safe. Maybe the temple?
Lucento glances at the monkey in a tutu and recalls the colorfully dressed storyteller from the day before — Rectavio? — mentioning that “his monkey” was staying with the doll maker.

I'm here! o.O
Lucento bought enough pies for everyone already. Whether he shares I can’t say.
Nothing suspicious about the GM wanting us to all have pies, beware friends!
They are “generic pastry items,” as I recall. And after I spent all day baking them, you were making fun!
totally trying to avoid some sort of sweeney todd moment, no offence

One minor bit of retconning: I said earlier that Ireena claimed to have been in Vallaki when she was very young. In fact she made no such claim.
She looks at the doll, shaken. “I don’t know. I’ve ... I’ve never been here before... I don’t know.”
Mad Mary's missing daughter was Gertruda
Does the toymaker react at all to Ireena? 9 perception

12 perception
I believe I have an unbroken record for crap perception rolls
You’re really not missing much, on this one.
Perception: 23
What of Gertruda?
He looks glad for the change of subject, but completely at a loss: “Gertruda?”
Perception: 7
Weird.
Perception: 6
If you're trying to tell how sincere he's being, Lucento, that's a good idea!
Roll an Insight check.
edit: We cross-posted. Keep your 15, and apply your "Insight" modifier. Instead of Perception.
