[OOC: If you scroll to the bottom of the article for Negress Black on the campaign setting site, can you see and click on a button that has the label 'secrets'. If you can, please let me know. If this works, then I will be using this facility in the future to keep some stuff secret for Guilliame and not visible to other potential future players.]
No. I can see something that says visibility set to Guilliame but no secrets option and no more information than previously.
Thanks. That feature doesn't appear to be working, I'll fiddle around with it for a bit, but might have to put in bug report.
Give Naomi back her pipe. Ask Naomi where she got the pipe from.
Guilliame opens the door to his bedroom and hands Naomi back her pipe.
"What are you doing with my pipe?" she asks, looking a little surprised. "I didn't think you smoked?"
"And you shouldn't use other people's pipes, they're personal things. That one was given me by your father. It has sentimental value."
She then looks past Guilliame at the bed where he performed his ritual and frowns.

"You could have asked," she replies a little angrily. Then she adds, "It was given me by your father. Don't you remember, he brought it back for me on one of his trips."

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.

"Do you think we could get extra for the special weed. Maybe I can ask around at the school to see if there is anyone prepared to buy at a higher price."
Guilliame doesn't remember this incident, but he would remember that his father would bring things back for his grandmother. She didn't grow up in the big city and likely misses some of the things of a country life.
"Do you think we could get extra for the special weed. Maybe I can ask around at the school to see if there is anyone prepared to buy at a higher price."
"Sure, you'll get people to pay more for that weed," she says with a grin. "But I don't know about the school, do they use it there?"
[OOC: As promised, to give you some idea of the value of the weed and the economics of Guilliame's business, the shop would normally sell a small cloth pouch of the stuff for 2 constantines (the Engelian silver piece), after it has all been dried and shredded to the consistency of pipe tobacco. Converting the prices on the normal D&D tables, 2 cons would be normally what a skilled hireling would be paid for a day's work. The amount of dried weed that was brought in to be shredded today will probably make about 50 pouches, which the shop buys in bulk for 3 cubs a piece from a local supplier. This last batch of weed was bought from a third party and the shop paid 2 engles for it.]
Granny Naomi now seems to be fully recovered from the effects of her earlier smoke.
Turning to other matters, she says, "I'm going to go to the market to get something for dinner, is there anything you want?"

Is Guilliame aware of weed use at the school - I would have thought it was common student behaviour.
Not in school, but he is sure that older students and some of the masters would use it on their own time, and the students outside the School's ground.
Does Guilliame have a drinking spot, perhaps somewhere other students hang out.
There are a number of taverns and inns near the School that some of the older students, and occasionally some of the masters, frequent as drinking spots. It is up to you as to whether Guilliame frequents such establishments, but he would certainly know that an inn called the Scholar's Retreat is fairly popular with the students.
To Naomi "Just the usual. Do you mind if I try some of the weed?"
Naomi is a little surprised by Guilliame's request.
"Of course you can, it's good stuff," she says. "But use your father's pipe. It's still on the mantlepiece, I believe." [OOC: This is assuming Guilliame doesn't already have his own pipe. In either case, do you want me to add a pipe to your equipment list?]
She then says she will see you later and reminds you to lock up the shop if you go out; Alice was the only customer today so far.
[OOC: I think I worked out how to do the secrets. If you go to the article on Negress, you should see information there that is only visible to you. The difference between this and the normal process of controlling access to articles is that there can be many secrets for different people for the same article. Let me know if you can see Guilliame's secret.]

OOC I might be missing something but I can't see anything different on the Negress page.
Odd, I've created a test account and given that character the same access as Guilliame and it works for them.
Guilliame will do some magickal study in a spot he can keep an eye on people entering the shop. No weed until Naomi returns at the earliest.
Guilliame stays in the shop proper and studies the Unseen Servant ritual that he copied into his book yesterday trying to work out why it didn't work earlier.
He is immersed in his studies when the bell over the front door rings and a mature Sorian woman and a young Stemian man step into the shop. The man is dressed in normal-looking clothes, but the woman's tunic, trousers and cloak are all grey. Both of them are wearing the same very noticeable amulet (a simple disc of black surrounded by a rim of gold).
Guilliame immediately recognises the symbols and the woman's uniform. These are followers of the Mithran death god, Donai, and the woman is most likely a Seeker.

You see the young man, close and open his eyes and begin to look around the shop. The Seeker keeps her eyes firmly fixed on you.
Have followers been in the shop previously?
Not to Guilliame's knowledge, but he has been busy lately.
"Blessed day," says the woman in greeting. "I am Seeker Lomani, and this is my apprentice, Basilly. I take it I am talking to Guilliame de Marchant, is that correct?"

Seeker Lomani pulls a piece of folded paper out of her belt, opens it and shows it to Guilliame.
On it is a drawing in ink of a man's head and shoulders, the likeness of which reminds Guilliame very strongly of Dworkin Blackfeather.
"Have you seen this man recently?" she asks.

In this variant universe, Guilliame last saw Dworkin when he fled with one of the magic rings that your party found.

I haven't seen him recently. (I don't think that is a lie depending on definition of "recently)
The young man, who was looking at one of the last pouches of jartinal weed you have on display from the last batch, turns and looks at you.
"So, you know this man?" Seeker Lomani says, somewhat surprised. "Tell me about him. What his name?"

It looks like someone I knew called Dworkin Blackfeather.
"Someone you knew?" Seeker Lomani says. "When was the last time you saw him. And, do you know where we might be able to find him?"
Both of them are now listening intently to what you have to say.

I last saw him in Ilbarsis some time ago. He left in a hurry without leaving a forwarding address.
This dampens them enthusiasm a bit, but they would like to know everything you can tell them about Dworkin.
If you want to leave anything major out, I'll need you to make another Deception check, NOT at disadvantage this time.

I will tell all and say that I am interested in knowing his whereabouts myself. They should bear in mind that Dworkin is a powerful warrior/sorcerer.
