“How fascinating! You look at the simple and see the complex, much like one who sees a single raindrop and imagines an entire river of raindrops turning a waterwheel. That is a rare talent indeed, crafty one. And might that someone be you?”
The half-elf stops speaking for a moment, and seems to study the the gaunt fellow, before returning to her story "but after the rat escaped, she ran in the opposite direction and started calling..." Her skin seems to turn Dijon yellow for a second, though maybe it was just the light?
"Gnomes..." he says, turning to his firbolg friend, chuckling. "We're all the same. Oblivious to the rest of the world when we got lost in our thoughts.'
Turning back to the female gnome again, he asks, "No matter. Where do you hail from, my friend?"
As you look around, you see that there are many strange artifacts on the walls, one of them is a stuffed Goldfish, about the size of a dinner plate, with the name "Sylgar" inscribed in a plaque underneath the stuffed body.
Another such item is a pistol, hung on the far east wall, about 60 feet away from you. There is an inscription below it, but it is currently too far away for you to read.
Another item is a stuffed beholder that hangs like a chandelier from the ceiling of the main hall. Those of you who have been in Waterdeep for awhile know this is Xanathar.
There are other items, like a brightly colored robe hanging near the stairwell, an awakened shrub on the bar named "Groot", and a green gem shaped like a tooth on the wall closest to you, with no inscription below it to identify it.

The most interesting things Nef rattles off are "Did you know that this tavern used to be called Trollskull Manor? It is rumored to be haunted and folks staying here have heard noises in the night when no one seems to be around, but Erdan says that is hogs swill and superstition. It might be worth checking out if you are interested in that sort of thing," Nef seems to direct that first one at the Dragonborn in particular, and the rest of the rumours/information to the table: ”Since Erdan took over, the tavern has grown four fold," "an interesting tidbit is that Volothamp Geddarm - yes THE Volothamp Geddarm - once owned this tavern," and "all of those artefacts you see adorning the walls are real - not replicas - and some are rumoured to hold great magic. They have been collected from under mountain and other realms."
Nef indicates "I can send the head-bar-help, Fen over and he can organise a room for the night and introduce you to Erdan if you would like?" and holding out her hand adds "Oh, and Erdan is a fan of big tippers" and cheekily winks.
"Unless something comes up, I will be staying the night." Hecate decides. She hands over another silver piece. "I'll have a glass of wine, if you wouldn't mind. Keep the change. Your assistance is greatly appreciated."
Nef nods her head and says "your generosity is appreciated, I'll ask about a room" and disappears out the back.
Moments later, a male elf (Fen) appears from the back and approaches the bar "Erdan my good fellow, I have an order for the new table over there. The Dragonborn would like a glass of wine and she has asked about lodgings for later tonight. She has given me a silver including a tip, so make it under that. She already gave me my tips for the day prior to that, so no need to make it the really cheap stuff, as I like her style and generosity. On that note, are you happy for me to knock off after the breakfast crowd is done?"
Erdan, the bald, pale, skinny elf looks up at you, nods, and simply says, "One moment."
He then goes through the door behind the bar to the kitchen, and comes back with a blue satchel slung around his shoulder. He opens it up, poking his head inside for a moment, even though the satchel is smaller than his head. He then reaches in, and pulls out a bottle of wine. You can roll perception if you want to see the label.
You can see him walk over to the bar, reach for something below the counter, put up a wine glass, and open the wine bottle, fill up the wine glass with a purple wine, and hands the glass to Fen. He then says, "That amount of that wine should be 7 copper, so here."
He reaches into his back pocket, and hands you 3 copper.

I ask about the room price and availability for Hercate, and add "Ellie is also busy tonight, so I might not be able crash at her place. If I need a room tonight too, can you give me a one-day-in-the-future-friends rate or a works-for-tips-almost-an-employee rate?" followed by a long wink.
I then take the wine to Hercate, make up a vineyard and name for the wine and tell her the price Erdan told me for the room.
Okay, I forgot to mention, but when you walked up here, you see to your right, seated on a bar-stool, the same figure you saw before, the well-dressed male human is eating a meal composed of eggs and a meat dish, he looks at you and nods. You may be able to recognize him, but you need to roll History.
Erdan just walked away after you grabbed the glass and money, but he will return shortly.

"Huh?" Carlin doesn't seem to understand the question.
The ruby seems to possess magic, along with a necklace around Carlin's neck.
