Svexyn
Maharathan Merchant 1: (Sense Motive, DC 15: = 6, Fail) Chuckles. "Surely you are not blind? You should have noticed something very different about the owners of this inn already."
Maharathan Merchant 2: (Sense Motive, DC 15: = 5, Fail) Adds. "Something Gedeon and the table maid, Tylia, have in common yes?"
Akhenaten Merchant: (Sense Motive, DC 15: = 6, Fail) Waves his hand. "Don't patronize the young man. He's noticed their golden eyes to be sure." Leans forward. "It offends them to hear strangers discussing their culture or their past. Ask them if you're so curious, but take care not to insult them whatever you do."
Akhenaten Merchant: "It is Likely they do have a camp close by, but I don't recommend searching for it. Keep to your own business Svexyn."
Gedgeon has his eyes on your table from across the room but doesn't focus on you directly. He's better skilled as a watcher than that.
Maharathan Merchant 1: Laughs. "You haven't been listening if you think we'd barter with you against the Quresh."
Maharathan Merchant 2: "It'd be different if you asked us first, but refusing to buy from them because they may not be the cheapest, after the fact, would insult them."
Akhenaten Merchant: "They speak the truth. Even if their prices are unreasonable buy something you can afford and apologize if you can't afford everything you asked for. It'd also be wise to find something about their wares worthy of praise and compliment those things. It takes years of experience to master bartering with the Quresh in a particular way so that you end up with what you want without giving offense."
At this time the backdoor opens and an older man steps in. Gedeon speaks to him and gestures at you Svexyn. The older man must be Tamas, whom you recognzie from afar as the stablemaster you observed earlier.
[Svexyn: What do you do?]
Svexyn:
~At last... it seems that I have found a glimmer of hope here... For the price I'm paying, this better pan out well... Let's see just how loose they are with information...~
"Quresh?"he whispers, feigning ignorance in hopes that they would provide more information.
Nodding at their advice, Svexyn decides to entice them with a little prodding. He keeps his voice low, hoping that others don't overhear his comments.
"I am not familiar with the Quresh, so anything you can alert me on what to look out for would be greatly appreciated. As for avoiding Drasus, I apparently owe him a drink and considering your warning, I think it would be unwise to ignore that. Have any advice to make sure I make it back down the stairs without ending up like his most recent unwelcome guest?" [Bluff: 1d20+4=15]

"It offends them to hear strangers discussing their culture or their past. Ask them if you're so curious, but take care not to insult them whatever you do."
"That would mean there are quite a lot of their number. I don't see how they could all stay here in the inn, unless they have someplace nearby as well? I heard rumors of all manners of hidden places in desserts, but I only see an Inn and the Barn out back. I even heard tales that can't be true, but then again, I am unfamiliar with this place."
Akhenaten Merchant: "It is Likely they do have a camp close by, but I don't recommend searching for it. Keep to your own business Svexyn."
He shifts in his seat, glancing around casually to note if anyone is paying particular interest to him at the table.
Gedgeon has his eyes on your table from across the room but doesn't focus on you directly. He's better skilled as a watcher than that.
"Speaking of which, I asking for some gear. I am waiting on Gedeon to get someone by the name of Tamas. Tents, a mule with saddle bags and bit&briddle would go well along with some camping gear. Oh, and a shovel of course. But if either of you have some of those items for a better price than Tamas, then I would rather hand over coin to you. And some whistles."
Maharathan Merchant 1: Laughs. "You haven't been listening if you think we'd barter with you against the Quresh."
