Talien says at max capacity to Shake even though he is right next to him. I think it is working Shake. It is working. Talien attempts to stand quickly and says to the barkeep, I must have all drink Reaching for the bottle of the "strong" stuff assuming he doesn't talk on the floor.
Shake giggles a little before trying to coax Talien to sit down and relax. "Calm down there and listen to your good friends Garron and Shake. We are experts at drinking and we thinking you have had just enough." Shake gestures around himself with his hands grandly, "Welcome to the state of inebriation. I hope you enjoy yourself. If you start to worry too much, just remember that it won't last too long."
Grom would head to the general store first as he needs smoke before his bath...
If questioned about the journey from the lady grom would insist it was a success and he would return after as bath...
Ok.. we can just say you went while Alten is in the bath...
You find a sign on the door that reads, "Leaving early for Midsomer Festival.. Find me at my sales tent in town square.."
Assuming you head there you find Kerowyn under a white tent with a few tables decorated with white linen and displaying festival wear. There are head bands made of flowers and necklaces and bracelets made of wooden beads. As you approach to ask for tobacco Kerowyn smiles widely and indeed asks you, "Grom! Did you find my grandchildren? How to they fair? Why aren't they with you?"
"Kerowyn, greetings... This story sadly does not have a happy ending like the circumstances we find ourselves in... Is there maybe someplace more private we can talk?"
She puts a hand to her head, "I can't leave the stand at the moment, please step inside," she says as she pulls a chair out and almost falls into it. As you step under the tent behind the tables you see an extra chair near her.
"Please tell me what happened.. It has been weeks now and I'd prefer not to forestall the inevitable."
We did successfully find both of them, but sadly there was a evil being down there that had corrupted them completely, they were shells of people, sadly when we destroyed the Tree and the Evil in that place it took the children with it.. I do apologize, and he will set the Rings on the table and the sword/Shield of the children.
Shake shakes his head amiably at Talien and laughs, "No. Drinks are nothing like weapons. Weapons are meant to help us visit destruction on each other. Drinks help us enjoy each other's company. However, if you drink too much alcohol then it becomes poisonous." Shake looks around the Inn and sees Rees. "Hey, there is Rees. Maybe she can explain it better."
Garon, we will drink now with our friends. Talien grabs his cup and make sure it is empty, then reaches for the bottle again, or whatever drink is close at hand and moves to the table that Rees is at.
When Shake gets to the table he points to Talien and says, "Rees, this big galoot is trying to drink booze like he hoards weapons, endlessly and without limitations. Can you please explain to him that ale and weapons are not the same, and that if he drinks too much it is bad for him." Noticing Bozak sitting at the table with her Shake pulls up a seat between them and says, "And who is your friend. I hope we did not interrupt something personal." Shake winks at Rees and seems very entertained by the idea that he may have just interrupted something very personal. To Bozak he says, "Hi, my name is Shake. I am going to be a famous bard someday. Who might you be and what are your intentions with regards to our friend Rees over here?"
Sighing, Rees pinches the bridge of her nose. "This is Bozak, the person who hired us for the job we just completed. Talien, I would not recommend continuing to drink as it will decrease your dexterity and reaction time making you less accurate and effective in a fight -- which is the opposite of what weapons do. That said, I don't anticipate any fighting tonight, but I've been wrong before. Honestly, I didn't even know you could get drunk."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Talien stares at Rees for a moment and pulls a dagger and throws it at the center of an empty chair across the room. (Rolling with disadvantage for this due to intoxication)
Edit:based on where the dagger hits the chair depends on Taliens response.

Garon sighs and gives you a beer... hoping something with less alcohol will prevent you from going over the edge in his establishment.

Town Square, Grom and Kerowyn:
Tears well up at the corner of the old woman's eyes as you place the rings on the table. She takes a handkerchief from a blouse pocket and daps her eyes. She sits up straighter becoming very stiff. She bravely picks up the rings from the table and says, "It truly is a cruel world when children are taken before their grandparents. I told the pair not to get mixed up in this, but they longed for adventure. Alas, it was their undoing. I do hope they felt no pain and I thank you for helping them find peace. You have been always been a true friend to this family. Please, stop by the store in the morning.. I will have your trade bars waiting for you as payment for the two rings as promised".
Kerowyn stands, "Go now Grom try to enjoy some the festivities tonight... though I know your heart must be heavy as mine... I must find something strong myself."
DM Note: You would know from experience that a gold trade bar is worth 250gp.

Bozak, Rees, Shake, and Talien:
I see you have replaced your bard Rees?" Bozak says seemingly un-amused, "What happened to the last one? - Nevermind, I don't have much time for the story, nor do I care much. Hello Shake - pleasure to meet you - Now, we have more important matters to discuss... Namely, did you find the item requested from the citadel? And where is it now?"
Shake's eyes go big and his mouth forms a large "O" when Bozak talks. Then he leans over to Talien and stage whispers, "So this is the guy who hired you? Seems a bit stuffy. Now I see why Alten was acting so uptight. This man is not playing around, huh?"

"Woah, now!" Garron says as he pulls the bottle to the back of the counter, "Slow down big fella.. this is potent stuff!"

More Shake, drink is just like weapons right? The more you have the better off you are. Garron, I would like more to drink.
