After quite some time, Barnibus looks up and speaks with Saeth for a bit before looking around at everyone being detained.
They both move over to Fala, the owner of Corellon's Crown. They have a brief discussion, taking notes, looking down the alley, then looking at Arthur.
They both move to Arthur. Barnibus begins with "I understand you are one of the proprietors of Trollskull Tavern here?"
Barnibus "Hmm, the Appleblossoms" He points at Saeth to make sure he is writing it down. "I believe the Appleblossoms were just innocent victims caught up in this."
"Tell me, would you happen to know why this gnome was heading to your Manor?"
Barnibus "Hmm, how about the two cloaked humans dressed in leather armor and with longswords? Do you know these gentleman? Or any reason they would be coming to your establishment?"
Sir, I moved here on the 24th of Mirtul. Before that I was staying at the Halls of Justice , about 4 weeks before that date. I wouldn't know these two humans whatsoever . I wish there was more i could do to help. Maybe you could ask some of the others currently inside the manor
Barnibus "Hmm, yes. We will be following up with pretty much everybody in the area. That's all the questions we have for you at this time. You are free to go, unless you have anything else to add?"
If you need my assistance for anything you know where to find me. If I'm not here 2 places you might find me would be the halls of justice or black staff tower, which I plan on heading over there to speak with the black staff herself . I'll be back soon. Please let me know by chance if the Appleblossom's relatives need help with funeral expenses , they were nothing but good to me
Arthur's plans : talk to Vajra, go to the market and find a sign or 2 that has posted on them " be nice or leave " or " we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone " ( or along those lines ) , see about purchasing a desk & chair , parchment and quill / ink , and lastly buy flowers for the fallen outside of the manor , hopefully all of this can be done before the tavern opens today
Well, I debated about showing up after that ordeal and decided you still needed to know. Zilfarn and I chatted for a bit. To tell you the truth I found him to be a rambunctious fellow with a good sense of humour . I got to the point and he told me he is staying until he is done. Maybe he was just yanking my chain . I don't know . Vajra I don't believe him to be of any danger although he'd defend himself if provoked . I pray to Tyr that all can find common ground in this. If I have let you down I apologize
"Well it sounds like a young dragon out trying to build it's hoard. With luck it will get bored and move on. Who went with you, and where did you find him?"
A gnome named Yevis. He went with me. We borrowed a apparatus. Fought off a shark, and eventually found him as he came out of a sunk ship. I do not know the exact location on where we found him. He did mention to me about a dragon stick that would allow him into the city , although he honestly doesn't want inside. Vajra if I may, instead of trying to get him to move on, why not say....forge an alliance with him ? He hasn't harmed or killed anyone , else I might not be standing here now . Never know , he could be the line of defense In the seas
Addressing Barnibus: Other than the Appleblossoms I do not recognize any of the other unfortunate victims. As Arthur said, we just opened our Tavern and have been working to get it into shape. They were hired as part of our Grand Opening and did a wonderful job. As for the ones heading to the tavern, I would assume they were coming for a drink or meeting, we did heavily advertise the grand opening anytime we were out and about in the city to try and attract customers.
Vajra makes a few notes "He most likely speaks of the Dragonstaff of Ahghairon, that is the tool used to exclude some dragons from Ahghairon's dragonward. The dragonward keeps the city safe from random dragon attacks. Bronze dragons can be helpful in a fight, but usually at their own behest and love of battle. Hopefully there isn't any battles in the near future that needs that kind of help. Can you imagine using a dragon to fight off a gang war?"
"Just you and Yevis on this trip? Did you have a need for the potions we provided? If not, please return them so they can be saved for other Grey missions. Now tell about this fireball outside your manor this morning, it is not something that happens often here."
Barnibus "Hmm, that's interesting. Though I don't think they were coming in for tea." he has a nervous little laugh "Thank you, Miss Cloud. Is there anything you would like to add before we move on to the other witnesses?"
*hands Vajra the potions * Vajra I wish I had better information to tell you concerning the explosion. I didn't even know it was a fireball. I know it killed the Appleblossom's. They played for us the night of our grand opening on the 1st . I do not know who did this. While traveling over here the only thing I could think of was that maybe we have a competitor that has taken a dislike to us. And to answer that dragon in the city bit, my appologies I wasn't very specific I suppose . I was thinking of incoming threats from the sea .

They both move to Arthur. Barnibus begins with "I understand you are one of the proprietors of Trollskull Tavern here?"
Yes sir I am. * there is a mixture of feelings with Arthur right now * I am Lord Arthur Darkeyes the 3rd. I have no idea who would do this or why
Barnibus, "Hmm, tell me Lord Darkeyes, did you know the gnome over there that died in this blast?"
Sir those halflings are the ones I recognize . They are the Appleblossom's . They performed here a couple of nights ago when we opened up on the 1st
Barnibus "Hmm, the Appleblossoms" He points at Saeth to make sure he is writing it down. "I believe the Appleblossoms were just innocent victims caught up in this."
"Tell me, would you happen to know why this gnome was heading to your Manor?"
No sir I do not. Is he the one who caused the explosion?
Barnibus "Hmm, how about the two cloaked humans dressed in leather armor and with longswords? Do you know these gentleman? Or any reason they would be coming to your establishment?"

Barnibus "Hmm, interesting. Good to know. Make sure to mark that down, Saeth."
Saeth rolls his eyes as he marks it down.
They both move off to interview another witness. Fala and a few others are off to the side talking amongst themselves.
Barnibus asks the same questions to Cloud.

Arthur arrives at Blackstaff Tower and is admitted to the office of Vajra Safahr.
"Ah, Lord Darkeyes, I didn't expect to see you today after hearing about the event outside your doorstep. Any news about our dragon?"
Well, I debated about showing up after that ordeal and decided you still needed to know. Zilfarn and I chatted for a bit. To tell you the truth I found him to be a rambunctious fellow with a good sense of humour . I got to the point and he told me he is staying until he is done. Maybe he was just yanking my chain .
