When Arthur reaches the common room, he sees Me Russell talking to a balding man with a cat at his feet.
Mr Russell looks over to you "Ah, Lord Darkeyes. Welcome back home. I'd like to introduce to you Flabbergast, he's from the Home Office."
Flabbergast "Hail, Lord Darkeyes. I'm just here doing a routine audit for the Boss on his new franchise. Tell me, how are we doing on acquiring this Stone of Golorr I heard about?"
Flabbergast "Some clues, hmm. Sounds like it's time to get the team motivated."
"This Manor was a huge investment, and risky being so close to the Home Office. There has been some middling action, and the first franchise payment was on time. I do like the numbers I'm seeing on this charity effort." He looks at Mr Russell "Especially with past experiences"
"This Stone needs to be acquired, like the Boss says "It's in the name". You're a Paladin, of Tyr it seems. Should this Stone that leads to riches be left in the hands of the Xanathar Guild? Or the Black Network, messy as they have been of late?"
"No, it would be much better for all of it were to come into possession of an organization that can make much more use from it. And luckily you are part of that organization."
Believe me the last place I want to see that stone is in the hands of xanathar or black hands. I've been searching for clues nearly non stop. As it is we have got to find who around here as acquired a nimblewright . The name Floxin ( ooc I think that's the name ) has been brought up. I think the nimbkewright when found will be the next key to unlocking this mystery.
Be safe Mr Flabbergast and it was a pleasure meeting you.
Mr. Russell while your here I've a spell book you can copy some spells out of if you would like. I would have no idea if any of them would be of any use to you or not, I can't read them and I've no idea wether or not you would know any of them already .
I lost to a well experienced competitor. Ah well, there is always next time . I'll be doing that again, it's been a good way to earn personal gold. So how goes the charity effort and what exactly goes on? By the way here is the book * extends the book towards Mr Russell* no major hurries, I'm certain I know where you live * Arthur chuckles at his own joke * I didn't get the 200 gold from the winnings but I got 100 . I know I don't have to give to the charity effort from my own purse but regaurdless here is 10 gold to help with it
"Hm, sorry to hear that. I'll take your word on the payoff, I'll be skipping the bruising myself. Not really my thing."
"And thank you for the book, I'll leave it in the "library" when I finish. Maybe Adam can find a use for it when he returns. If he remembers he has a job to do. Again." Shakes his head in disgust.
"The charity seems to be running well, we'll see how it goes in the end.(ooc, the check for it is at the end) And please, keep your money. This isn't that kind of charity, feed some orphans at a church or something with it."
"We're mostly working by raising awareness of this sad situation, and prodding some of the locals into helping out. Some of the nobles around here are fairly bored, and these things tend to make them look important, or caring, by helping out. Or it helps their image, shows they care. That sort of thing."
"We're not taking any direct donations through here, we'd rather they come here for our business. But we did place quite a few AI branded donation jars wherever we could. We even have the City Watch picking up the daily take and depositing it in the Charity account. Not really something you'd trust to law enforcement down in Baldur's Gate, would you?"
No sir, the flaming fist are not the nicest around. Truth be told they are like legalized thugs. I suppose you've been to Baulder's Gate a time or two. If Adam whome I've not met has no use of that book , I'll let my newest friend Yevis copy spells from it as well. It is nice to see that here in Waterdeep how bad things like what just happened here brings people together to help one another.
Sounds like a plan Mr Russell. I'll start in moving my things into Herald's old room, then I'm gonna go to our tavern and enjoy a good meal with a couple of ales before turning in as well. G'night Mr Russell and thank you for all your efforts .
After Arthur gets everything moved he heads down stairs to get supper along with a ale or 2. Not sure what time of late evening / early night it would be by now but who is present iin the tavern ?
Thank you Peerson. * Arthur watches Dasher & Danica , having a inside laugh at how they are in such a hurry, as he wouldn't mind conversing with them, but not blaming them for being ready to go home * Hello Ella, it's finally nice to meet you.

Ooc: Arthur heads back to the manor. He is going to be busy moving things into Heralds old room that will now be his.
When Arthur reaches the common room, he sees Me Russell talking to a balding man with a cat at his feet.

Flabbergast "Hail, Lord Darkeyes. I'm just here doing a routine audit for the Boss on his new franchise. Tell me, how are we doing on acquiring this Stone of Golorr I heard about?"
Hello and well met Mr. Flabbergast. As for as the stone goes I've managed to get a few clues but nothing set in stone yet, no pun intended .
Flabbergast "Some clues, hmm. Sounds like it's time to get the team motivated."

Ooc - Black Network. Other name for the Zhentarim.
Flabbergast "Very good, please don't let me keep you from anything."
Turns to Mr Russell "Until next time, Gartrand"
And he collects his cat and turns for the exit.
Be safe Mr Flabbergast and it was a pleasure meeting you.

Mr Russell "Ah, thank you very much. I'll look into it when I get some time. How was your boxing match today?"

Mr Russell "Lord Darkeyes, if you have nothing further for me I'll retire for the evening."
Sounds like a plan Mr Russell. I'll start in moving my things into Herald's old room, then I'm gonna go to our tavern and enjoy a good meal with a couple of ales before turning in as well. G'night Mr Russell and thank you for all your efforts .
*Arthur starts moving his belongings to said room , I guess it will be a 2 hour job give or take *
I think you over estimate the amount of belongings he has...
But it can easily take you the rest of the night!
I wasn't sure on the bed , I very well could be overestimating it. Maybe 30 minutes to an hour then lol
After Arthur gets everything moved he heads down stairs to get supper along with a ale or 2. Not sure what time of late evening / early night it would be by now but who is present iin the tavern ?
It's getting late.
Peerson is working the bar.
Rumbold has closed up the kitchen and gone home, but Peerson throws together something to eat.
Ella is waiting tables.
Dasher and Danica are cleaning up in a hurry so they can go home.
Thank you Peerson. * Arthur watches Dasher & Danica , having a inside laugh at how they are in such a hurry, as he wouldn't mind conversing with them, but not blaming them for being ready to go home * Hello Ella, it's finally nice to meet you.
