Gimble looks directly at Harbin after hearing his comments about Lionshield.
Calmly he says, “Now Harbin, sir, listen please, I implore you. When we were discussing with you the information we had on the goblin network and the bandits we gave her little we knew. We know you and your network have a wide spread lay of the land. One of our group offered suspicions, I repeat, suspicions, based on some heated words exchanged. It was not given out of some act of petty revenge. Nor was it offered as fact with evidence. He did say he had suspicions, to be proven true or false by your larger network.
Please do not fault our group on a single conversation and a comment of suspicions. Have our actions not spoken louder than a single comment already? We have cleared a cave network of goblins and we have cleared the town of the Red Brand Bandits. Our intent is to continue to serve the Princess against the orcs and another goblin base we have learned of as well.
In the end we obviously can not force anything upon you, but I ask you to soften your perspective on this.”
At this, Gimble will grab the gold off the table and slowly follow Misty to the door, hoping that his words may have changed Harbin’s perspective some.
@ Gimble, (OOC: give me a persuasion check with advantage)

O'alana stands listening carefully to Gimble's speech, her clear amber eyes with their cat-like slender pupils keenly watching Harbin's expression and looking over at Misty and the others in the party. Her lips taut in a line, solemn and silent, indicating her sincerity.
Gimble Persuasion 18
(OOC don’t know if I did that right but I think so?)
@ the party, Harbin stops gesturing for the party to get out. Harbin: (to Gimble) "I believe you... I'll see what I can do. I'll have a talk with the Princess. Perhaps she'll want to hear you all out herself. Come back to the Palace tomorrow, and early, like today. I'm normally in City Hall during the day, you luckily caught me before I headed out. I do wish to clarify. I do prefer working with you adventurers, I wasn't willing to risk my job sticking up for you all. Now I see something in your eyes, mr...? (OOC: the party may now realize that Harbin never asked any of your names until now.) (After you either give your name or refuse) That something tells me you mean what you say. I must be getting to City Hall soon. So I will see you all tomorrow, unless you all pay a visit to City Hall today." Harbin leaves the room.
@ everyone, (OOC: let me know what you are doing next/where you are going to.)
(OOC: date July 25th. time 8:25 a.m.)

(OOC: quests and quest thread reminder: 1/main quest: Find Gundren Rockseeker for Greg Greenspear. Gundren's location is likely at the Goblin Castle or the Goblin Castle is the best place to look for that information.

“Doublelock, Gimble Doubleock. And thank you Mr Harbin, sir. I think we can all be here early tomorrow.” (Gimble says this with almost a questioning tone as he looks upon his peers)
Misty is still doing as posted before. Moving out into the hall and then wanting to seek out Sildar, who she trusts more than this Harbin fellow.
@ the party, the party leaves the room they were in and now in the hallway. (OOC: which way do you go to look for Sildar, and how much time is the party willing to look/wait for him?) You can see multiple closed doors along this hallway, and you can see servants going about their business at the end of the hallway the party came from.

O'alana follows her party out the door, since Gimble already left his name. She finds names to be a construct of human society that she'd never gotten used to, nor was she ever given one. Not familiar with the palace, she waits to see how the party is going about to find Sildar.
Gimble will keep a watch out for an open unoccupied office that looks like it may have a good’ secret’ in it for Chin.
Perception 17
@ Gimble, The hallway the party is occupying for the moment has no open rooms, but seeing as no staff are around, you carefully check some of the doors in the hallway, each one you check is empty and has minimal furniture. (OOC: give me an investigation check if you want to check any desks you encounter.)
@ Misty, You walk out of the hallway and back to the front room. You do not see Sildar. Servants are going about the palace, cleaning, taking objects to and from rooms. The servant that opens the front door looks at you after you enter the area, but then he goes back to minding his own business.
@ everyone else, (OOC: I have the rest of you in the hallway waiting for someone else to make a decision or action.)

Gimble Investigation 6
He is feeling like all he sees is a really nice pen..... haha “we have some gold to distribute don’t we?” he says to the group.
Misty approaches one of the servants. "Please let Sildar know we are still waiting for him, as he requested."
@ Gimble, you couldn't find anything of value, but you are confident no one caught you snooping around.
@ Misty, The servant nods and goes up the stairs and off to a room, after waiting for a while the servant returns. Zon: (to Misty) "I am terribly sorry, but it appears Mr. Hallwinter left earlier following a friend of his. He did not leave any messages or instructions. Do you wish for me to deliver a message to him when he returns?"

"No thank you." Misty says with a sigh. She gives the man a smile, then turns to the others. "Seems like Sildar has found something he found important to do. Shall we head back to the inn?"
"Sounds like the sensible thing to do" agrees Casmir, still looking around a little in awe in his first visit to the palace. "We are supposed to return tomorrow early to talk to this Harbin gentleman, right?"
@ the party, the party (assuming everyone wants to) leaves the palace, and starts heading back to the Stonehill Inn. It takes a while to get from the Palace to the inn, but its a quiet uneventful trip. The party sees the busy active streets of the city as they go about their way. The city guard presence seems lower than usual, or its possible the guards are obscured by the crowded streets. As the party passes by stores, some of the merchants try to gain the party's attention. (assuming no one stops) the party ignores the sales pitches. As the party enters the Stonehill Inn, they notice that most of the morning crowd of the inn has left. They likely went off to work or place of business. Interestingly enough Greg is not present drinking his sorrows away. You all do see an interesting person (OOC: Tessa, who is to join the party).
@ Tessa, (OOC: feel free to describe your character, and what you are currently doing.) (OOC 2: I'll say you have a room with the Inn until the evening when you will need to pay for another night, so your breakfast and lunch for the day will come with the room.)
@ everyone, (OOC: let me know what you are doing next/where you are going to.)
(OOC: date July 25th. time 9:15 a.m.)
(OOC: quests in the spoiler below) (OOC 2: quest log updated. Harbin meeting, and Where is Sildar? has been added.) (OOC 3: I'll explain that quests are divided into three types, main quests, secondary quests, and side quests. Main quests are what the party is suppose to be doing, as that is why they are in the current location, aka should be their goal. Secondary quests are supplemental to the main quest, they can potentially impact the main quest in a direct or indirect way. Side quests are minor jobs for easy rewards that can potentially affect the area you are adventuring in. This explanation wasn't to change how the party does things, but to inform since we just got a new player.)
(OOC: quests and quest thread reminder: 1/main quest: Find Gundren Rockseeker for Greg Greenspear. Gundren's location is likely at the Goblin Castle or the Goblin Castle is the best place to look for that information. [reward: 600 gold from Mr. Chin] 2/secondary quest: Capture the Red Brand Bandit Leader Glassstaff or kill them. Harbin prefers the person brought in alive.

[reward: potentially meeting the Princess] 9/side quest: Find Sildar. Sildar disappeared on the party, supposedly chasing after a friend, either wait for him to show up or try to find him some where in the city. [reward: ???]

Gimble would have stopped to finish selling the items at Barthen’s Provisions and maybe if the group wanted to check out more about the sword, Talon.
And doing all of this while looking for the person who followed him.
Perception 18
Tessa
As you enter the inn, a striking young woman in a fur-lined coat, nursing a steaming hot beverage, looks over at you. Her clear blue eyes linger on each party member for an uncomfortably long time. She turns and whispers to a tiny golden dragon-like creature curled up absent-mindedly on the table. It jerks to attention and looks back toward the party with her.
(I think we decided Misty would use the sword until/unless someone else has a better use for it.)
Misty glances to the interesting woman in the fur cloak, but moves the group to an empty table, taking a chair. She immediately gets to business. "So do we check out these orcs or go to this goblin castle?" She asks the others directly.
