Seeing that he has attracted a bit of a crowd, and not satisfied with his prior performance, Shake decides to try again. "Thank you ladies and gentlemen for your kindness. This next song is a bit of a work in progress. It is dedicated to the bravest, most loyal kobold I ever knew. I don't know where you are Meepo, but wherever you are I hope you know that you are missed." With that Shake removes the cutlery and plate and starts to rattle it all together to sound like something between a washboard and a rattler, then starts to sing:
Where have all the good Kobolds gone and where are all the Gods? Where's the street wise Grombrindal to fight the rising odds? Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed? Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need
I need a Meepo I'm holding out for a Meepo 'til the end of the night He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a Meepo I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be the same size as life, same size as life
Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy Somewhere just beyond my reach there's someone reaching back for me Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat It's gonna take a Super Kobold to sweep me off my feet
I need a Meepo I'm holding out for a Meepo 'til the end of the night He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a Meepo I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be the same size as life
I need a Meepo I'm holding out for a Meepo 'til the end of the night
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea I could swear that there's someone somewhere watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain And the storm and the flood I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood
I need a Meepo I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a Meepo I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be the same size as life
I need a Meepo I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a Meepo I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be the same size as life
I need a Meepo
By the end of the song Shake has built up a bit of a sweat.
Perfomance = 19
I'm dying laughing :D
The crowd shouts, "Bravo!" and applaud your song. They throw a total of 21copper silver pieces and 97 copper pieces into your hat (or whatever you set out for this purpose).
Seeing as how the shopkeeper isn't paying attention to her, again, Rees is going to try to swap the coin he's selling with one of her own. Leaving him a single gold piece in exchange for the coin with the hole in it.
Sleight of hand: 9
It's under glass.. you slam your hand into it and the shop keeper gives you the dirtiest of looks.

No worries! I thought I had it in my hand for some reason but this is funnier.
Giving a ridiculously overdone curtsey that proves Rees has never curtseyed in her life, she'll follow Talien out.
Alten didn't follow Shake out. He's never left the store and the shopkeeper
Question was for Grom
Yeah. I was just clarifying that Grom couldn’t nudge Alten about whatever he saw when he went out.
Alten will be the last one out of the store.
That was weird. I don’t guess you could tell what he was examining could you?
Gotcha 8)
@Grom it was silvery blue shining metal derived from soft, glittering, silvery-black ore. I believe you'd be the only one that could tell it was Mithral. Quite rare and precious indeed!
Did Eldenser catch that the guy was messing with something MIthral? (my non-bolded, italic text is mentally talking to Eldenser)
(Oops forgot about that.. lol my b!)
Hrrmm.. I believe it was a precious metal probably Mithral. Dwarves hoard this type of metal their whole lives - sometimes even passing it down through generations - until they are ready to use it to complete their masterwork. Some quit smithing altogether after completing their mastwork knowing very well they will never be able to achieve such heights again. It is odd that this human had it. I wonder where it came from...
As Alten is walking out, he sees Grom beckoning from outside. When he gets outside.
Grom, you know anything about a substance called Mithral? That guy was so worried about some Mithral he didn't want to mess with us. Seems kind of weird.
Looking over to where Grom is indicating, does Alten see him? I think you said he was in an alley? What are the buildings on either side of the alley?
If so, I’ll ask Grom
Has he noticed you or is he just focused on Shake?
After Grom points him out you do see him. He is in the shadows in an alley between two more stores - A bakery and a flower shop. They’re squat buildings only two stories high and made of grey stone. The buildings here are relatively uniform as part of the defense of the city. You don’t think he’s noticed you Grom.
Do we want to talk to this guy? See why he’s so interested in Shake? Or he just enthralled in the song?
A bakery would likely have a back door for delivery of materials, firewood, etc. Alten is thinking about ways for one or two of us to get behind him before approaching him

(Sidedoor in this case.. so it might be in the alleyway the shady character is standing in.. or it may be on the far side.. but, you couldn't be sure until you investigated).

Am I envisioning this correctly? 1 is the sketchy guy in the alley? The party is 2 outside the pawnshop? Shakes performing and the sketchy guy is focusing his attention on Shake? The white space between the two sides is the street/thoroughfare?

Exactly! Sorry I forgot a key for 1 and 2 because my daughter woke up haha. But, yes 1 is sketchy guy and 2 is the party outside the pawnshop. White space is the road down the middle (cobbled with no sidewalk).

I'll pass this info on to Grom specifically, but I'm not keeping it a secret or anything. I suspect Alten may not know much about Mithral.

Yea i guess grom couldnt nudge anyone so he would knock on the door to the shop and try to get his friends attention

The shady character is still in view when your friends leave the shop.

"would you all take a look..... Did you say Mith.... Mithr.... No No... oh course not.."
"Would you guys check out this creature looking at shake...."
Grom will whisper to Alten:
"Alten, What did this ore look like?" dont say that word outloud... you never know who is listening"
