"Sorry, but we are in a hurry, a man's life in play, and we need to pick up some people on the way, not counting a lot of stock and there will be not enough place for all of us, and we don't have time to land you somewhere first." replies River to the men.

He then add to the cab driver "Don't fear, your day will be busy and your time will worth it's gold."

[SBLOCK=OOC]Diplomacy (1d20+14=31)

River really want to have this cab as long as he can, and carry the other threes and the books if needed.[/SBLOCK]

****elsewhere****

The waiter, relieved now that the heavily armed (pun intended) gentleman aren't about to explode into chaos and destruction, visibly relaxes and offers to get a menu, if you are staying for a quick bite.

Click to expand...

"No, no, as much as I'd love a bite, we have some urgent business to take care of. Thank you" Amarande says, then follows Muzdum towards the house, gesturing for both Tondrek and his companion to follow.

***elsewhere***

Two of the three jump right out of the skycab at the shifters smooth words. The third looks unhappy but gets out as well. Lucky for them, they flag down a skycab while the heroes take off. They arrive at 813, home of Shageon Gladdenstone without incidence.

Tondrek, following his finger and advice, heads towards the given directions.

"Let's enter first and make a quick search." tells River while paying the cab driver. "Here five gold pieces. And here another five, I would like you to go back where you pick up us first and look for a time for three of my friends. They should be together and easily identified: One half-orc with his and replaced with a mace, an heavily armed dwarf that look like a gladiator and fierce looking warrior with a two handed blade.

They might look mean, but they aren't dangerous unless you provoke them seriously. Bring them back here. Told them River is waiting them at 813, home of Shageon Gladdenstone. Once you are back, I might need your service again if you are willing to help. If you decide to not wait, I am grateful for your help up to now."

On that River walks to the 813 and knock at the door and wait a minute before trying to open the door.

OOC: I intended to knock without waiting.

Amarande won't stop the dwarf from knocking, although he'll attempt to listen if he hears anything first

True to his word, the trio ends up at the door of 813 Shard Stone. It is a quaint, two story rowhouse. You note the doorknob is set a little lower than usual, perhaps to accommodate someone of short stature. There is a small house Jorasco symbol carved above the door.

Muzdum's knocking goes unanswered. There are no obvious sounds from inside the home.

Tondrek puts down his fading finger and peers an eye at the door lock.
