"He never said what there was I merely heard rambling about them over and over. And he has been coming to me for horses for about three weeks, me and my son were the ones to outfit his mercenaries."
"Yeah, about those mercenaries..." Feng cuts in. "We hear he's sent hundreds of 'em out where we're going and that none of them come back. You know anything about that?"
OOC: I'm digging Xing so far ... such a weird character. I'd love to see him played at an actual table with all the different voices....
"We definitely are not looking to put you in a weird place here, Xarac. We just want to increase our odds of coming back alive. You know, that way we can let everyone know of the amazing quality beasts you provided us with." The Tiefling stated, attempting to deescalate the situation. The last thing he wanted was for their only current source of information to go quiet on them.
"Before we go, what are the odds we could see if your son heard anything else about the adventure we're being sent on? I'm sure we can throw in a bottle of booze for him as well, as a thank you." He pulled another bottle of alcohol from his pocket as he spoke, not handing it over, but showing that he was willing to uphold his end of the bargain.
"Fine, fine. I don't want to make you to uncomfortable." Alexander stated as he mounted his horse.He looked at the others, trying to see if one could possibly be big enough for the Goliath to not crush on the journey there.
"Heh ... shrouded. Cause he's all wrapped up like a mummy and stuff."
Inside, though, he's thinking quickly. Yeah this guy knows something. He's afraid of this Cursed guy for some reason, and it seems like more than just 'cause he's all weird. If Alexander's smooth-talking doesn't work and he's hiding something from us I might have to threaten to tear his arms off or something.
"Before we head out, Xarac, is there anyone around town that might have some more information that could help us? Maybe a mercenary guild that might have been contacted by this Cursed one before we showed up or something of the sort?" He asked, looking down at the man from atop his horse.
Feng does the "I'm watching you" thing with his fingers, hops on the biggest horse he can find (preferably a cool black one) and gets ready to set off with the others.

Xarac suddenly becomes very defensive.
"Look I just do what I'm paid for I don't ask questions. So ugh the horses are ready if you want to go now."
"It's only a two days ride so it is not super far away. Do you guys want to question anyone else about this outpost or just head out?"
OOC: Haha, glad you’re liking him! I had never played a Kenku before so I’m glad that he’s fitting in :D
Xing makes a whip crack sound, “I say we mount up. Let’s show those bandits a thing or two.”

Persuasion 6 14
OOC: Second roll was if the booze works for advantage again. If not, just take the first toll.
Feng is a little suspicious of Xarac.
I think he might be hiding something. Not even I get that defensive that quick...
Insight: 15
"Look I don't know anything I'm sorry but The cursed is very shrouded."
Feng sees that Xarac is scared of the Cursed
"Fine, fine. I don't want to make you to uncomfortable." Alexander stated as he mounted his horse.He looked at the others, trying to see if one could possibly be big enough for the Goliath to not crush on the journey there.
The horses all look incredibly sturdy
Feng chuckles outwardly at the pun.
"Heh ... shrouded. Cause he's all wrapped up like a mummy and stuff."
Inside, though, he's thinking quickly. Yeah this guy knows something. He's afraid of this Cursed guy for some reason, and it seems like more than just 'cause he's all weird.

"Horse master I have a request. Do you have something Dwarf sized for me? Regular horses don't really work for me?"
Xarac laughs weakly
"Of course dwarf."
Xarac points towards a miniature pony
Meanwhile Xing is doing handstands and flips on his horse. He raises an eyebrow at the dwarf and plays that same laughtrack.

"Before we head out, Xarac, is there anyone around town that might have some more information that could help us? Maybe a mercenary guild that might have been contacted by this Cursed one before we showed up or something of the sort?" He asked, looking down at the man from atop his horse.
Feng goes over to the pony, lifts it up entirely out of its stall (can lift 1080lbs no sweat :D) and deposits it in front of Xarac.
"Look Xarac. I'm sure you're a nice guy. It really would be a shame if we found out you knew something about the Cursed and didn't tell us."
Intimidation: 20
Edit: well poop
"Was that a threat? Look I'm still being paid to out fit you all but you are trying my patience take the horses and go."
"Come on Feng; we've already been kicked out of the bar. We really should be going. If we want to make good time."
Feng does the "I'm watching you" thing with his fingers, hops on the biggest horse he can find (preferably a cool black one) and gets ready to set off with the others.
