Errona knows time is at a short if they want to continue their plan... She turns to the group and says "I... NEED.... THOSE... BOOTS.... It gives us our best chance at completing our mission."
If Roc does not want the bracers, Errona will ask Lumen to take the gold.
OOC: If we sell pelt, for 500gp, I would borrow 375gp
Errona looks to Roc and says "I don't need the bracers, I am plenty accurate.... Could always be more quiet though." She takes 375gp from Lumen and purchases the BOOTS.
Fishers come here after a long day for a bowl of stew and a quick pint before heading to bed. The atmosphere is subdued; the fishers are cold and tired and unsure about Icewind Dale's future. The tavern is run by a plump, gray-haired widow named Ethen Yarbroul, better known as "Ma." She fusses over the fishers as if they were her children.
As the adventurers walk into the crowded bar, a group of women immediately looks their way.
"Oooooohhhhh Roc is back from another adventure~." "Those eyes...so dark as if he has gone through so much...I'd like to get to know those better..." "With Errona again...wench."
A man Roc recognizes as Garton immediately motions towards him. "Roc, my boy! Finally back are ya? You up for a game of dice? You might win that item you had your eyes on. Or you could buy me dinner! Gwa ha ha!"
Garton is offering Roc a game of dice for the chance to win a special item. Will he participate?
A group of shady men keep to themselves in a corner.
a23 motions to the bar maid as he pulls up a chair and sits with the shady group in the corner.
”a round for the table please.”
he turns to the men at the table and attempts to strike up a friendly conversation.
”friends, you would not believe the adventure we have been on. killed a horde of yetis and their red leader. thought he was going to rip me in half. lucky we made it out alive.”
Errona recognizes the men as rumored members of the Zhentarim. As a23 invades their personal space, Lumen sees one of them reach into his pocket. The men are taken aback by a23's appearance, but one of them eventually replies: "Yeti, you say? That's all anyone around these parts has been talking about recently. You clearly don't seem to be a local though. What proof do you have?"
Garton lets out a hearty laugh. "That's what I like to hear, son! The rules you say? Why, they're simple!"

Place your bets, roll two individual d6, highest roll wins. rolling doubles trumps high rolls. highest set of doubles win if multiple doubles are cast. snake eyes beat everything.
"Don't think I'll let you off with one round!" he says, slamming a gold piece on the table.
Garton scratches his chin with his index finger. Looking around the bar, he yells: "ROC IS BUYING DRINKS FOR EVERYONE TONIGHT!" tossing a gold piece to Ethen "Ma" Yarbroul. The subdued atmosphere in the tavern turns to that of curiosity.
"Let's raise the stakes then, my boy. I know what you're really after." Garton fumbles with a stone in his hand before laying down 10 gold pieces!

The Zhentarim agents are somehow oblivious to the fact that warforged do not leak in the way that humans do. Lumen is also able to exit undetected as the atmosphere in the bar gets more exciting.
The two follow from a distance, eventually reaching Triglio as expected. The lone Zhentarim agent knocks on the door to the shop. "JESTIN! ANY TIME FOR A LATE NIGHT SHOPPER? I'D LIKE A WORD IF YOU WILL."
...
Roc is only able to win 1/3 rounds in the second set of dice, losing 10 gp. "TARGOS RIBEYES ALL AROUND." Garton howls. "I'd like mine medium-rare!" a shout comes from the crowd. "The garlic butter on the side please!" says another.
"I'll be eating like a king tonight, my boy. Well, you might as well cut your loss now. Order something for yourself too!" Garton says, sliding a menu to Roc. "Gwa ha ha!"
"What in the-" Jestin pulls out a pair of Eyes of Minute Seeing and inspects the hide closely. "By the gods....it's real."
His eyes shift around the establishment before he plops a pouch on the counter. "500 gold pieces." he offers.
Errona knows time is at a short if they want to continue their plan... She turns to the group and says "I... NEED.... THOSE... BOOTS.... It gives us our best chance at completing our mission."
If Roc does not want the bracers, Errona will ask Lumen to take the gold.
OOC: If we sell pelt, for 500gp, I would borrow 375gp
a23 places his contribution of 125g onto the vendors counter.
he turns his attention back to the vendor
“now, where in the dale is this tower located”
"You'll have to ask at the Three Flags Sailing tavern for that. Sure to start getting rowdy at this hour."
So do we have a deal on the hide then? (500 gp / 4 = 125 gp each)
Jestin looks anxiously as gold starts being put on the table for a possible purchase.
Errona says sure them takes the gold that lumen was offering for the bracers for Roc. She then purchases the boots.
Ooc if this doesn't happen then I take gold and walk away to tavern.
Roc takes the yeti split of gold and smiles.
"In time the bracers will be mine. Enjoy the bracers Errona!"
Errona looks to Roc and says "I don't need the bracers, I am plenty accurate.... Could always be more quiet though." She takes 375gp from Lumen and purchases the BOOTS.
Putting them on she walks quietly out the door.
Errona purchases the Boots of Elvenkind (-1200 gp).

Errona joins a23 at the table and looks across the table at the shady men to try to get more details and see if she recognizes them.
Perception: 25
Lumen joins at the table but keeps an eye on the men in the corner
Perception: 10
Roc rubs his head.
”I know I really shouldn’t but why not. I probably don’t have much longer.
Roc sits down with Garton.
”So tell me how to play.”

seeing the man abruptly exit the tavern, a23 suspects hes said too much.
”yes. I too need to relieve myself.”
a23 stands and exits the tavern following the shady character from a safe and hopefully undetected distance

He rests the stone he has been fiddling with on the table, revealing it to be a Stone of Good Luck (Luckstone).
Garton looks up from the menu for a moment. "What? Unsatisfied? I'll play another round if we raise to 25 gold pieces."
(ooc: Roll for 3 rounds if agree to continue playing.)
