The docks are packed with people, most of the street lamps have been smashed and had their candles stolen. A dark ally known as candle lane lie between homes and warehouses. One nearby shop stands out from the others. It has a deep purple facade, and in its window hangs a stuffed beholder. Above the door hangs a sign whose elaborate letters spell out "Old Xoblob Shop" Another thing nearby is the bar that Volo talked about, the Skewered Dragon.
The skewered Dragon looks like a ruin. Both of its front-facing windows are smashed, and a ship's anchor is lodged into the roof. Through the windows, you can see a group of haggard patrons drinking from huge tankers.
A cloud of lavender scented purple smoke trails out of the Xoblob shop as you peer inside it. Every wall is painted purple, and every dusty knickknack on the shelves is dyed in deep violet. The hairless old gnome sitting cross legged on the counter wears plum colored robes. The gnome lowers a pipe and exhales a cloud of lavender smoke before raising hand. "Hail and well met! Come browse the shelves of the most curious curiosity shop in the world"
"Sorry, sir. I thought this was a smut shop because of the name. I misread. This shop is very curious though. I have little money to spend but if you don't minsd I would very much like to look around in your shop." Bobin walks around casually, looking at what's available. "I was actually heading for the bar next door. What happened to it, the front window is completely smashed?'

A couple of things catch your interest, a dragon talon hanging on a purple leather necklace. A glass eye, with a purple pupil. A chest made of purple pieces of glass. The gnome laughs, "Don't worry about it, you are surprisingly not the first person to say that to me. But I don't think telling you about thing I've seen is a good idea, you never know who might be watching."
Flynt is going to walk up to the bartender. "Good day my friend. I am looking for a young man who was drinking here last night. He was very dapper, drinking with a stout wizard named Volo who brags about his books and travels. I'm seeking the younger gentleman if you know what happened to him."

Bobin bends towards the other gnome, looks around abit nervously and whispers: "Who's watching and why. What's wrong? Am I in danger here?" I secretly point my finger at the gnome and cast message at him. While I'm covering my mouth I whisper "We can also communicate this way if you want."

The bartender without looking up says, "Volo and Floon are regular patrons. But I haven't seen anything and they haven't shown up in three days."

You hear his voice in a much more panicked tone. "Look, I need your help."
"I dont know if I can be of much help" Bobin whispers in a message to him. "I'm no great wizard so don't expect to much of me. But I can try"
He messages back, "I got to deep into the Undermountain, Xanathar is forcing be to spy for him. That plush is watching everything happening in the dock ward."
"Volo was the one who sent us this direction," Flynt replies. "Floon is missing and he is quite concerned. If you haven't seen him, perhaps he is elsewhere." He turns to the men drinking. "Would you know anything about Floon's whereabouts?"

“ wait, wait, who is this xabala you’re talking about and why do you need to spy for him?” Bobin whispers. In the meantime asking a normal question in case someone WAS listening in on them. “What’s with the purple in here, you really seem to love it.”

"Xanathar is a crime lord who runs the Waterdeep underworld. I have no clue why he's spying here. He could have spies everywhere!"
Bobin whispers (by means of the spell message) to the gnome: "how is he forcing you? does he threaten you? is he holding family captive. And what does he want you to gather intell about?
Bobin walks through the shop a bit nervously, inspecting everything.

(Can I roll to check how seriously he sounds or whether I think he’s sane)
”jeeez mister, that doesn’t sound good. Flying eyes! That’s creepy. Are they here now?” Bobin looks around the shop to check for any flying eyes. “And this stone he’s talking about. Do you know what it looks like? Cause you can’t just look for any stone I assume. And if you find a stone. Then what?”

"Perhaps another drink will help you remember," Flynt says. He turns to the bartender and adds," Another drink for this man."
The patron, takes the drink and says, "Floon, I remember him sticking around after Volo left. He found a friend, Renaer Neverember. Just another rick noble who likes to rub it in our faces! A couple men left shortly after they did, they haven't came back either. Look for the warehouse with the snake symbol on it, that's where you should find them."

(Yes, I guess that would be insight) "I don't know just look out." He walks to the door and says, "Thank you for coming, but I'm closing early for some refurnishing."Glancing at the stuffed beholder.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.

"hmmm, ok then. good luck with everything. I'll be in the bar next door for a beer and some conversation. If you need me you know where to find me".
With that Bobin walks out, looks over his shoulder one more time at the gnome dressed in purple and goes into the bar. In the bar he taps Flynt on the back. then walks to the patron and orders a beer, tosses some coin on the bar and takes a table to drink his beer quietly.
