You sit with Renaer and Floon and they both glance around the place. Floon points to the floor and says," We use this as part of our mid-week crawl. Personally, I've always liked the idea of this place being built on a giant statue. I'm sure you'll do fine. You just need to come up with a name that will attract folks and have friendly staff. Having some trophies in the lobby could help as well, especially if they have interesting stories behind them."

"The owners Bob and Michele are good people as well," Renaer adds. He finishes his drink and turns to Floon. "It's your turn to buy."

"Got it! Floon says as he leaves the table.

Renaer turns back to Sybil. "That's curious you mention bronze dragons. There's one residing in the harbor. Force Grey wanted to learn if he was a threat to the city, but we sent some of our people over there and they learned he was square. As for unicorns, I haven't seen any in the city."

Sybil, when Renaer says "our people," you notice a Harper pin on his collar. He flashes it to you and adds," "Mirt's been keeping me updated on your progress and your inquiries about where my father hid Waterdeep's gold. Sounds like what you're looking for are two of the keys to enter the vault.

He glances at the other table at an elven man and motions to Floon. The man walks over and the two begin chatting. "I can have him distract Floon for as long as he needs to. What other questions to do you have?"

Meep and Twitch

"Sure thing! the owner says and calls to the back. "Two Harshnaag's Helpings!"

As you both wait for your food, you see a group of patrons enjoying their food with one of them paying attention to you. He's a halfling with a high-and-tight haircut and a trimmed, broom handle mustache. He calls out to the owner and says in a loud voice," Their food is on me."

He smiles. "The name is Chazrael Teadrinker. I'm the director of the Waterdhavian Parks and Recreation Department." He points to the half-orc and water genasi woman at his table." These are two of my coworkers. Gaia, who is in charge of Animal Control and Brew, who works as an assistant to my deputy director.

A dark-skinned half-elven woman joins them. "And this is our office manager Destiny. If you're interested in what we do, come to the Parks Department."

Destiny grunts. "What about the other thing."

Chazrael nods. "Right. We're also a part of The Grey Hands, a fighting force that protects the City of Waterdeep. We answer only to the Blackstaff. Not the nobles and not the City Watch, though we do work with them."

Meep inhales deeply, pleased at the exotic scent. "Yes sir, we'd like the shawarmas, please. The bigger the better." 

 " And lots of lavash and hummus and lots of shatta sauce please."

Twitch listened as the halfling spoke, nodding at what they thought were the appropriate moments.

" I like trees.   And woods.   Park is like woods in the city.  I will come see."

Lussa smiles back, "greetings to you too, Jax, and you as well, Juls!  These are for you," she presents the bows and arrows to the children.  She will work with the children to set up a target and range in a safe corner of the estate and begin instructing them on care, maintenance and use of the equipment.

"Any other historic artifact that may be in this vault? In for a penny, in for a pound, I'm just gettin swept into this stuff. Anything in the vault beside gold? I like find one of a kind artifacts rather then gold but I'm too deep I guess," Sybil half question half compalins. 

Twitch

Chazrael nods at Twitch. "Yes, we'd be delighted to show you around. You've been to the City of the Dead, but we have parks in various wards. Just stop by the office for a tour."

A goliath emerges form the back and brings two of the largest shawarma plates you've seen. He sets another plate lavash bread with four different kinds of hummus (plain, roasted pepper, spinach, and roasted garlic."

Lussa,

Juls and Jax help you set up a target they crafted themselves from out of wood. Their eyes light up at the sight of the bows and arrows as they say," Thank you!" in unison. How do you go about teaching them with regards caring and maintaining their equipment?

Sybil

Raenar shrugs. "The idea that it's an ancient vault has to have some things. Perhaps artwork, statues or other items. There might be even an artifact that belonged to the city's founder Ahgharion. I know being in the city isn't exactly the best way to find artifacts, but there is much history in this place. Most of it I don't even know about."

"Thanks for the information and hopefully i'll be seeing at the manor's bar soon enough," Sybil said as she heads up and heads back to the manor. 

Meep tucks into the food, and speaks with his mouth full quite often. "Grey Hands... Mmph. Is that related to Force Grey? Are you recruiting? Thank you for lunch, by the way."

Meep and Twitch

Chazrael nods. "You're very welcome.The Parks Department is always looking for new employees."

Destiny raises an eyebrow. "He means Force Grey, Chazrael. You obviously don't know these two are co-owners of the new Trollskull Inn that's opening soon."

She adds," The Grey Hands is the umbrella organization and Force Grey is the elite fighting force within the group though you might be called to assist them and vice versa. We're always on the lookout for new adventurers. Our members serve other organizations within the city." 

Sybil

You reach the manor and there's Roland and the children cleaning the garden and shrubbery areas around the manor. As you step inside, on the bar is a package labeled "Sea Sprite Shandy" that contains six bottles of what you believe is ale.

What would you like to do for the rest of the day?

She will teach by demonstration, assisting them as needed to repeat the lessons.  Beginning with the bows, teaching them how string and unstring the bow for storage, how to keep the wood properly hydrated and supple by applying wax and polish, and maintaining/replacing the leather wrappings of the grip.  Moving on to the arrows, checking for cracks in the shafts, loose tips and straight fletching.  Next, she will show proper grip, stance, draw and sighting, but allow them to take the first shots at the target they made.

Sybil will leave the ale for someone else before retreating to her room as she sorts through the information she got, almost consipiracy style for the day. 

Sybil, if you can describe how you're going about it? Are you doing it Charlie Day-style where you've got a wall and the various key notes of information with a string connecting the points?

Lussa you watch the children progress through their lesson and they take your advice to heart. When they fire at their targets, Juls seems to be a natural. Jax struggles for a moment before getting the hang of it.

Is there anything else you wanted to do for the lesson?

Sybil will retreat to the turret, checking the covering of the any windows are still there,  connected to her room with her string and paper. Filling out a few papers pulling strings from the center page 'Vault'. She pulls up a chair after she's done and look over her map of waterdeep for the afternoon.

Adding a keys page listing bronze Dragon, Silver Warhammer and Unicorn with some notes about each.

Adding Dagult page, ex-lord, father of Floon. HE created or fill the vault. 

There's a page with string noting Xanathar wants the vault with a few pages detailing Xanathar's attempt to get closer from kidnappings Floon to the kid to Drider attack. 

Rough image of layout.

OOC: That's awesome and well done. The only nitpick is that The Ex-lord of Waterdeep is the father of Renaer Nevermember, not Floon.

Floon was kidnapped because he kind of resembled Renaer. That's just a small detail. The chart is really well done.

The turrets have new window coverings that you can lock with a latch from the inside.

 " Is there much call for killing?"

Destiny winks at Twitch. "Let's just say the threats we face tend to not make it to the City Watch jails. We face some dangerous stuff and we have to use lethal force. We also cause a lot of collateral damage."

 Twitch looks at Meep with a slightly unsettling glitter in their eyes.

" And opinions on Xanadus?"
