As Auntie spies the distant bridge and road, Tangle's image shimmers, her purple skin and face being replaced by a pretty human woman with blonde hair wearing traveling clothes and a large backpack. Tangle nods to Sparks and Coldin, and leads the group past the bridge and down the road to Womford. "Let's go see if we can get any information from the river boat folk."
She leads the group in the direction of docks or wherever river boats stop near Womford, and looks for the nearest boat with someone on it to walk over to. She'll smile prettily at the nearest man on the boat, waving, and say in a high pitched voice, "Oh, excuse me, oh, hi there! Do you have a moment?! Do you work the stretch of water between here and Beliard? Have you been up and down there in the past couple of weeks? We're looking for a monk in a gold mask, or some dwarves, or maybe even bugbears?"
Womford is a tiny settlement on the banks of the Dessarin River, south of the Ironford Bridge. A dilapidated dock juts out into the river, and three keelboats are tied there. A large mill sits on the riverbank, with several big granaries nearby and a handful of small, run-down cottages.
The first two keelboats are empty, but several water genasi lounge on the upper deck of the third. A muscular water genasi who is laughing loudly at the antics of a halfling with the demeanor of an overweight rat turns as Tangle adresses him. He eyes her as one eyes a horse at the market.
”Well, depends on who’s doing the asking.” He replies with a wink. If you’ll join me and my friends on my ship, I’ll see about answering your questions.”
The genasi does not suspect anything, nor does he react suspiciously to your questions.
Tangle makes a "teehee" noise, and wanders onto the boat. "Ooooh, you have blue skin. So pretty. So, have you seen the gold masked monk, or the dwarves, or bugbears on river boats?"
As she comes onboard she says to Auntie in her mind, "Look around the boat closely for any signs the delegation were here."
Tangle pays special attention to the boots to see if any might be missing or have mismatched boots, one that might match the one they found on the shore.
The water genasi stiffens, clearly sensing the presence of a spell. “We transported a gang of bugbears and others across the Dessarin River a couple of tendays ago.” He replies reluctantly. “What’s it to you?”
His water genasi crew casually draw their weapons as he awaits a reply.
Tangle, the halfling is wearing a pair of boots designed for someone twice his size.
Coldin draws his hammer and uses light to make his hand glow. He points his hand at one of the genasi. "Ah, ah, ah. There's no need fer any o' that now."

Tangle becomes wide eyed, "Oh, geez, I didn't mean nothin by it Mr blue skin. We were just willing to pay for info on where ya took them, we don't mean ya no harm...if you don't want to share, no need to."
She prepares to cast Invisibility in case she's attacked.

Shoalar relaxes, jovial once again. “Of course!” He laughs, casually walking out of the radius of the Zone of Truth. “Me and my men have work to do, I am afraid.” He says, bowing to Tangle. “Though it pains me to refuse such pleasant company. Allow me to escort you off my vessel.”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
“You can’t say I didn’t warn you.” The water genasi says. He steps back and waves his hand dismissively, and his crew, consisting of the halfling, a fellow water genasi, and a human woman advance.
Sparks speaks up...
"Womford..." Tangle's voice.
"a good nights rest..." In Tangle's voice.
"Aye, a good night's rest seems like a fine plan. Naught like we're catchin' them taday anyways." Coldin nods at Sparks' suggestion.

Deception: 21 to act innocent and a bit clueless.
Insight: 22 to see if they react to the question or tell me the truth.
Auntie keeps an eye on the area, circling far above.

Sparks draws an arrow on his short bow, ready to fire if anyone looks about to attack his companions.

Dawani looks rather smug about the spell, she'll keep a hand near her quiver as well.
Shoalar relaxes, jovial once again. “Of course!” He laughs, casually walking out of the radius of the Zone of Truth. “Me and my men have work to do, I am afraid.” He says, bowing to Tangle. “Though it pains me to refuse such pleasant company. Allow me to escort you off my vessel.”
"If that work doesn't involve you taking us to where you took the bugbears then we are going to have problems"

Tangle looks from Dawani to Shoalar then back to Dawani. She casts invisibility, and leaps into the air, flying up 30 feet above the boat.

Coldin steps up closer to Dawani, his hammer held out to the side and his palm still glowing from the spell.

Sparks has flutter keep Tangle in sight, since the tressym can detect invisible things. He never lets up on his drawn shortbow arrow though.
At the back of the party Torvin sighs. Hoping this doesn't go the way it's looking like it will go and cast: shillelagh on his staff
