Matteo/Risha: you sit down in the balcony where you find a human male and female half elf sipping on a light ale. They smile and reply “please, join us. Most people shy away from our company.”
Drax/Petmorn- a small thin smile stretches across the waiters face. He bends down to whisper his reply as to not let others hear. “I believe there is a club more downtown. There is a black bolt that hangs where the sign should be for an abandoned warehouse. If you go through the back door, there is a club there that you may find is open to you and your partners .... interests”
you two insight check d/c 12:
The waiter is eager to help you locate an underground sex club. He has completely misunderstood your intent.
Risha and Matteo: as you sit down with your new friends they lean in a little bit. “Well let’s just say people in this city like to be a little more.... Conservative than we are used to. Several citizens will go out of their way to make it a point to comment on our relationship.... or even my existence.” The half elf woman replies.
Risha rolls her eyes. "Well, that's just ridiculous. You're not the only one to deal with that sort of thing, though," she adds, gesturing at her fangs and green skin. "I get plenty of comments about my 'savagery' the moment I walk into an upscale place. And the last time I had a date..." She shakes her head, baring her fangs in a grin. "It's like people don't have anything better to do than come up with uncreative insults."
Drax/Petmorn - The waiter begins to stutter a bit “Oh, I’m sorry, I mean you said companion... and stuffy. I just assumed...” he is very clearly embarrassed “What is it you’re looking for?”
Matteo/ Risha- The woman continues “Ugh, Tell me about it. The next time I hear someone use the word knife ears... what brings you to town?”
You could say we're looking for trouble,says Matteo pleasantly. More specifically, we heard there was trouble in this town. Cultists, folks worshipping devils and the like. We've come to see what we can do to help out. So far, all we've heard is a story of some people dancing in the streets, a woman who left her husband, very little of substance. Have you heard of anything strange going on recently?
Matteo/Risha: The couple have the look of slight shock in their faces. “Hard to believe people in this town let some cultists into the city. So orthodox and legalistic, they’d have to work really hard to slip through the cracks.” The man leads in “Do you know who they worship, practically anyone other than The Triad and these people will be talking about Cultists. Seems kind of narrow minded to me, seeing how many gods there are. But that’s none of my business.”
"Although tempting, what I seek is something we all seek... a means to power." The Yuan-ti would say with a smile. "There are Gods that are willing to provide great power to those that worship them. It seems as though there is one God that is most commonly served here in town. but I am looking for another... a better option"
”Fascinating. This opens up lots of possibilities.” Packing up the scrolls and making some notes Aether heads out. Asking if there are any arcane shops in the area.
Aether: Going to the recognizable face you know, Anders points you in the direction of a map of the city. He locates Ambers Arcana and Aura, a trusted magic shop. He insists though “But please, if it’s something as trivial components you need, we have everything right here. To provide for a member of the Hand, will be our pleasure.”
As you discuss this with Anders, You see Korven in the background. Talking to a small group. You can’t see what he says, but you know he says it with authority. Before the group dispersed.
Drax/Petmorn : “Well, honestly that’s going to be harder to come by. You might want to watch who you say that too as well, Sir. Some others might not be so receptive to your descriptions of the gods here.” The man makes a show of his pondering before stating “There are rumors that an old sect, deemed heretics for their extreme views were excommunicated. They were based in the Hammer district. If there is any lingering worshippers of something... better, I would start there.” He then waits again making a show of waiting for a tip.
Risha/Matteo: The couple think. “Well we haven’t participated in anything like that before. I don’t think we know anyone in those circles. But there was the handsome rich guy that strolled in a couple days ago. He bought everyone drinks and threw a big party. Saying he was getting married to this woman. She looked a lot older than he did though. They danced and had the whole room join in. Haven’t seen either of them since.”
It may well be the same fellow we've heard of. Tell us about this man, if you would. A rich fellow, you say? And the woman, too. Did it seem like they know anyone in this place well? Matteo tries his best to be engaging and encouraging, hoping to get something of use from these two. Persuasion18
”I am seeking a pearl to allow me to identify the properties of magical items. It needs to be of fairly good quality. Also, as always, I seek what ever spells I can add to my repertoire. Tell me what is Korven’s position within the church?”
Drax would place 5 gold down on the table and nod to the man. "Thank you.. and keep the drinks coming.. there is more where that came from" he would say with a smile.
Risha/ Matteo: “I mean, I’m assuming it’s a different crowd each night. I’m sure they talked to the staff. They talked to everyone, but can’t tell if anyone in particular. They couldn’t get any music to play so they sang their own song... it was lovely.”
Drax/Petmorn: The waiter takes the gold and brings out some drinks. Lingering in the area and making sure to keep frequent eye contact just in case you have any other questions.
Aether: Anders listens to your request, he snaps his fingers as another cloaked figure walks up. Pulling the hood back the human with blond hair and green eyes questions “Sir?” Anders orders the barely of age man “Search the stocks for a pearl... at least worth 50 gold if I remember correctly. If we don’t have it in stock... go find one.” He dismisses the man as he put his cloak up again and heads off. Anders turns to you once more “Korven? He is the high priest of this chapter of the church of nine. He leads the teachings and sermon’s. But this temple, is a little different than most. See, the underground criminal activity is very pervasive. Korven found it easier working with criminals than paying off guards. But there is a lot of business he attends to to keep this place running efficiently. He is often asked to oversee church plantings as well.”

Risha nods. "We think they have some pretty strict hierarchy. Perhaps Bane or Asmodeus?"
