Durk will stand behind Bulvii with his arms crossed, staring into nothing. Despite his nonthreatening appearance, he seems to subtly exude an aura of menace.

Damrius will walk over and stand by Bulvii. M’lord we recently came into some money and were considering how best to spend it. We have heard that you are a intelligent lender and shrewd business man so we were hoping to glean some useful tidbits from you. How much do you think it would cost to turn the Cult of the Dragon against the followers of the Dead Three, assuming of course that you could get one of the Archdukes to leave Baldurs Gate, be permanently waylaid, allowing your house to gain a position of pre eminence and that the Dead Three were willing to kill off one of siblings at the same time?
Amrik looks the three standing before him over, his face going pale. His eyes turn to the man at the end of the bar, who seems to have gotten distracted by the fact Dalin is sitting next to him.
"I believe you have me mixed up with someone else." Amrik stammers out. "I am but a business man. I lend money to those who need it, nothing more." He tries to gather himself, but is still clearly intimidated by the group of you standing before him. "I will say that I know my brother Mortlock has been up to some bad dealings of late, and trying to bring ruin to our family's name, but I don't know what exactly he has gotten himself into."
Damrius looks at Bulvii Before turning back. See I want to believe you. I really do. The problem is we were there when the Dead Three tried to off Mortlock and he has testified to the Flaming Fist about your mother’s scheme. This visit isn’t about apprehending you for trial, although that is still an option, we want your mother and are willing to cut you a deal if you provide viable information about how to get into the villa and apprehend her safely
Bulvii nods his head toward Damrius, "I'm afraid my companion is correct. Your brothers statement does not indicate your family has the cities best of intentions at heart. Perhaps there's more you'd be willing to tell us about your current money lending business. Who are you paying? How are you paying them?"
"Well you have the word of a scar-faced half-wit against mine, and my mothers." The man says, settling back on his couch, looking less worried now. "Tell me, how exactly do you plan on proving any of this?" He asks with a raised eyebrow. He shrugs. "The half-wit is clearly intent on ruining our family's name, spreading rumors and lies. If you have him here, then bring him to me and let him explain why our family, who, by the way, is one of the ruling families of the city, is resorting to dealing with common cultists."

He swallows loudly as he glances around. "What do you want from me?" He asks with a shudder. "How to get into our family house?" He grunts in amusement. "With my elder brother's imps all over the place, there is zero chance of you doing that without them alerting him."

Bulvii looks menacingly at Amrik, "Tell us how to avoid the imps your brother employs, and how we enter your family home. Convince me you won't warn them and we won't put you in a cell."
"That's the point you idiots." He tells you with a glance around again. "There is no way into the house without the imps spotting you, which is why they are there."
You can give me insight checks any time you wish to check the truth of his statements...
Seeing Amrik looking nervous, the man with the red pony tail moves to get up from the bar and head over. Let me know if Dalin does anything to prevent this.

Zogri will stand near the stairs watching. He will keep his gaze on the man on the end of the bar. Expecting Raven to pick up on it.
He will leave the guards in the corner of his eyes but not give them much notice.
Dalin gives the guy at the bar a wave and a grin, sitting right next to him to watch the exchange.
Ready to DM and chew bubblegum. And I'm alllll outta bubblegum.

Durk chuckles.
"You think we need to prove anything? We're the Flaming Fist, boy. We have all we need to make you squeal."
Intimidation: 12
If Durk has advantage (from Help or something): 20
He punctuates the word "squeal" by dropping the head of his flail on the floor.

"There's a start. Please, do continue. Amaze us."
Thurodurk crosses his arms, still looming menacingly.

"I don't even know what you want to know." He stammers out.
Bulvii looks menacingly at Amrik, "Tell us how to avoid the imps your brother employs, and how we enter your family home. Convince me you won't warn them and we won't put you in a cell."
Getting a bit impatient Zogri will take out some rope from his bag. Then takes a few steps forward.
We should take him back with us, we will tie him up with this so he wont try and run. Holding up the rope
He looks around at the guards and room. We wouldnt want to disturb the other customers of this establishment.
"That's the point you idiots." He tells you with a glance around again. "There is no way into the house without the imps spotting you, which is why they are there."

Insight check just for kicks, not going to work out well with -1: 3

You believe the man is being fully truthful.
Dalin, the Kenku bartender places a new pint of beer in front of you.
