Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 8261642" data-attributes="member: 7006">As the young tiefling began rattling off a long list of tomes, Hawthorne soon realized he was about to be inundated by a stack of books having nothing to do with what he was here for... and he quickly concluded he better give a meaningful response.  As she was detailing the fine and smooth basilisk leather skin that covers a fairly large book about duergar bridge architecture from the 1100s... he raises his hand to her and says over the din "Yes, thank you, Ivory! Those sound lovely.  You certainly know your stuff!  But uh... actually I was looking for reference or historical material regarding mining details of the Southern Sword Coast.  Say between the Trollbark and Tethir Forests and as far east as the Lake of Dragons?"He waits a second to make sure she actually heard him over her own voice, and when she pauses in her speech to look at him he smiles wide and lowers his hand.  "Does that make sense?  Anything about mines and mining from Trollbark to Tethir and out to the Lake of Dragons... and let's not go too far back into history. Say only as far back as the Time of Troubles.  Okay?  Good.  Thank you."And with that... satisfied he gave just enough information to keep Irony busy without going overboard, the young consortium inquisitive turns to his footman Shedrick and raises at eyebrow.  "We all set for rooms, Shedrick?  Anything the people here require of me at the inn?  If not, get yourself a drink and we'll add it to the Black Dragon tab I've set up.  But please remember we are still on office time right now, so let's not have happen like what happened that last time at the speakeasy in Scornubel, all right?"</blockquote>
