"Oh, that redheaded lady that sang is with us too. Same as the gnome lady. The gnome lady is nice. Dnee knows the redheaded lady, right Dnee? You know everyone!"
Something then strikes Aimee,
"You're friends with Threestrings! Great, so are Lyss and me. We are like first friends once removed then! Was it Threestrings that told you to save Raener?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Trani has spent the occasion hanging out on the edge, simply observing. And trying not to roll her eyes at Rose's excessive flirtations. I guess ya gotta play to ya strengths. Moving around, she catches up on the bits and pieces of information the others uncover, and pulls out her pipes to play a quiet and familiar melody.
“I’m Biff, an’ this is Chip. We’re a big deal around ‘ere.” Says the tattooed man.
“Finally a girl with some taste around ‘ere!” Chip echoes Rose, as Stu the barman slams down two tankards of muddy ale. “And for the lassie.”
Rosamunde gave the pair a flirty giggle, "well Biff... Chip... it is indeed a pleasure to meet you boys. I am not shy to admit that I have a thing for big men if you know what I mean," she said with a provocative wink. "But men of power and influence make me go all weak at the knees... so what is it that makes you two local boys a big deal around here, besides those ruggedly masculine good looks. Please, please, trill me, tease me, tempt with tales of your recent bravado and exploits! Light my fire."She begged...
Then slowly Rose proceeded to run a perfectly manicured fingernail over the tattooed one's tats as she cooed, "I just love these... tell me do they have any significance or meaning? I've been contemplating getting inked myself but haven't found just right the artist. Who did yours?"
”Well, we’re top geezers in a secret organisation - so we can’t tell you ‘bout it Y’know, secret ‘n’ all.” Chip taps his nose, smiling smugly and nodding, as if approving of his own masterful secrecy.
Biff butts in, excitedly “Yeah, just last night, we were involved with a pol-itty-cal sting! Haha! Big guys us, using secret methods - marking the target, y’know, spy stuff, we’re proppa proffesionals! Oh these tats, did most myself if he want, some are from our group, but ye’ll never tell ‘me apart.”
The childish drawings and squiggles on the tattooed man, despite his claims, are of a far worse quality than the bold flying snake symbol on is arm.
Chip shows off his own matching tattoo”Well, see us tough fellas, we caught Neverember’s kid - handed him over to some pals, and got ourselves a nice payday. Just the start, we’ll be runnin’ the city soon enough! But enough work talk - think it’s time we took this somewhere private.”
The two men look at each other, embarrassed. “We, uh, didn’t see where our buddies took ‘im. But still - why do ye wanna think about ‘im - the li’l posh boy. Now, there’s one o’ ye and two of us, ye gonna introduce us to yer friend?”
The men gesture towards Trani, as she plays her pipes - though bot as energetic a performance as the bawdy tune earlier - it is sweet and very well played.
As the two men get flustered, a large, heavyset human male puts his hands on each of their shoulders. “I‘m sorry m’dear, I got business with these two, maybe you can take yours elsewhere.”
Biff and Chip tremble as he nods to them and they scurry away.
“Fancy girl like you would do well to stay away from these parts. You’ve had your warning. Looks like your kids callin’ ya anyhow.” He turns from Rose, keeping his eyes on her, as if trying to figure her out.
I'm going to cast [Tooltip Not Found] a few times to cause different effects mentioned below to try and intimidate them
"Alright, I've had enough," Kerri says, storming back into the building, eyes glowing as the candles in the tavern start to flicker, voice rising with each word, "someone in here is going to tell me where Raener Neverwinter and Floon are, or bad things are going to happen. Understand?" Those last words are punctuated with rumbling coming from the ground.
Trani was just about to quip "I've had bigger" when the man comes and escorts Rose's marks away. She sighs and starts packing her pipes away when Kerri comes storming back in with all the subtlety of a rabid ox. Here we go...
Chip looks between the two girls with a cocky grin, struggling to follow what they were saying, but at least they were talking about him!
“Hey, get away! humph! Is there anything in that thick skull of yours? Pair of useless-“ the older man’s chastising of the gormless pair is interrupted by an intimidating display of holy power. ”Run you twerps!” he turns to escape, grabbing them by their collars.
The other Patrons look at Kerri wide eyed - the old man who had been quietly listening to Trani’s song gasping, showing his toothless, gummy maw, and pointing at the flirting fools.
"Lucky we came! I'm pretty good at talking with people, right Lyss!"
She looks for Lyss's assurance before turning back,
"Who has you out looking for Raener? Not Volo?"
"Oh, a little birdie told me," Kerri says, "I have some friends who were worried about him so they asked me to see if I could find him."

Aimee continues after a brief pause to consider,

"You're friends with Threestrings! Great, so are Lyss and me. We are like first friends once removed then! Was it Threestrings that told you to save Raener?"
"No," Kerri shakes her head, "but I'm sure he's worried about him too."

Aimee asks, mostly to Lyss,
"Too bad we didn't find out more here! Should I go in and tell Rose and Trani that we should go and now we are looking for Raener?"
She is already starting to move towards the door before her question if fully out.
"Just don't let her rope you into her weird sex ring!", Lyss calls after her friend.

Aimee calls over her shoulder,
"Ewww!"
She then enters the tavern and says loudly,
"Okay! We are leaving Rose! Trani! Oh you two have made some friends? Do you want to stay with them?"
As the two men get flustered, a large, heavyset human male puts his hands on each of their shoulders. “I‘m sorry m’dear, I got business with these two, maybe you can take yours elsewhere.”
Biff and Chip tremble as he nods to them and they scurry away.

"Oh... well, that's certainly a way to approach it..."
Lyss slips back into the tavern, trying to keep an eye on anyone reaching for weapons... or any unattended coin that would be safer in her keeping.

Aimee blinks and then beams with delight before moving quickly to stand by Trani and watch the show.
Trani was just about to quip "I've had bigger" when the man comes and escorts Rose's marks away. She sighs and starts packing her pipes away when Kerri comes storming back in with all the subtlety of a rabid ox. Here we go...
