Rose followed Hercule after saying her goodbyes to the guard. She felt as though she was still missing something, but decide she would simply keep a weather eye out for trouble.

Admora: As you wander quietly around the Magic Mouth, you see and hear the ladies who work there talking and gossiping with each other as they get ready for the nights... activities. Several are gathered in this room or that while trying on different outfits to wear later and applying cosmetics to their faces. 

"He said he would be back tonight! Hopefully his wife goes to bed early..."

"...then he told me he was unleashing the beast.. HA! Never seen anything so small in my life!"

"... just so ready to do something more with my life... I mean, I enjoy my job but....

"... night was the first time he's been able to make it in a while. He said he was hired to guard some crate...

"... was one of the craziest nights of my life! This guy did things I've never heard of.....

Admora hears her chance. She quickly whispers a prayer to Melora, before gently knocks onto the room.

The moment she has their attention, she speaks, "Ladies, excuse my intrusion. Firstly, may I say you all look wonderful. Secondly, excuse me, but I could not help but hear one of you mention a crate? You see, I had a dear friend who also claimed to be guarding this crate, but I have not seen him since. Are you able to spare some information so I may seek him out?"

Admora: One of the women turns around and looks you up and down skeptically and says, "You know Hemig? I don't think I've seen you around here before, are you new blood to the brothel?"

Forbi/Dorbi/Hercule/Pelaios/Rose: The guard turns and gets nervous as Hercule and Rose walk up, "Who are you? We are trying to have a private conversation here if you don't mind."

Admora is taken aback, "Oh! No, I cannot say I am. Although, I am flattered you think I would be. That said... perhaps a proposition? What is your rate? I will be willing to pay for just a few questions bout this Hemig?"

Persuasion: 5

Hercule points to the twins and Rose. "We're with them, so anything you can say with them, you can say to us."

Rose gave the man a winning smile to try and deflate his tension  "Indeed, there's no need to get upset, my good fellow, we're all friends here I'm sure."

Persuasion: 22

Admora: She looks at you with wide eyes and after a few pondering moments responds with, "Propositioning me? You don't have to talk me into it sweetheart, it's all about the money when it comes down to it. I mean, I've been with a lady or two, but never one with those cute pointy ears you have going there. I charge a gold per hour."

Hercule: The guard looks back and forth from you to the twins a few times to see if they confirm what you are saying, "Is this true?"

Rose: As you smile at the guard he gets a nervous grin on his face. "I have no doubt you are telling the truth, but I must confirm before i say anything, I'm just looking for a little extra coin, not looking for any trouble."

Forbi smiles with his less than perfect teeth “Aye, we’re all together”

Forbi/Dorbi/Pelaios/Hercule/Rose: The guard nods, "Alright then, back to business then? All I'm asking for here is the low price of five gold. You adventuring types always have money don't you? That shouldn't be hard to part with."

Dorbi digs into her coin purse and pulls out 2 gold pieces “We’ve only got this on us”

Deception 13 

Forbi/Dorbi: He looks at you and nods, "I can understand that, but as you said earlier, you are all together. Maybe your friends can help sweeten the pot?"

Pelaios looks at the guard: “or perhaps I report a guard looking for a bribe to his superior. Your superiors will look to arrest you while the ones who took the bribe will look to silence you.”

Pelaios: The guard looks at you for several moments before backing down. Sighing, he puts the two gold away and speaks, "Ok, ok, can't blame a guy for trying. Yesterday i was coming to work at the gate when i saw Jeffers duck down an alleyway nearby. Knowing that knowledge is money in my pocket, i snuck down the alley behind him and saw him talking to one of Husteem's guys. Was an older fella, robes and staff, tall and skinny. You know the type, a mage of some sort. I saw him give Jeffers some gold and as he was was about to head to the gate, the guy said something and when Jeffers turned back to him, the old guy waved a hand and Jeffers went slack-jawed all of a sudden. The old guy says something to him for a few seconds and Jeffers just started nodding happily as the mage walked away. I caught up with him on the way to the gate and asked him who the old guy was and he didn't have a clue what i was talking about. It was very odd."

Hercule glances at the ground as he listens to the guard. "Old guy? That's interesting."

Hercule: The guard nods, "Yeah, not old old, older than me though, maybe in his fifties?"

Admora shrugs and fails to refrain a laugh, the woman's charms becoming evident, "Ah, well, you see it was only a few questions I am after. But let us discuss this further elsewhere? With wine, perhaps?" 

The elf walks through to the bar and asks for a bottle of wine, elven preferred, and two glasses before leading the lady of the night to her quarters. 

Admora: She smiles at you and points to her room, following you as you go in. Turning to shut the door and lock it behind her, she says, "You'll have to forgive me if I sounded a bit harsh out there. Some of these ladies will sell you out for a copper if they think you are talking to much. Let's start fresh shall we? My name is Freda."
