Toeto follows Scarm and the others to the docks, but she stops short of entering any establishment (be it a tavern, warehouse, or whatever). She can't imagine what she would even say to the locals. Leave that kind of thing to the actor-bird!
On the other hand, maybe a different kind of witness could provide her with the boy's whereabouts?
[sblock=ritual]Would it be possible to use a Speak with Nature ritual to augment or replace a skill check here? I figure that Toeto sucks at gathering information from people, but she might be able to speak with the birds and beasts.
[sblock=Speak with Nature info]For the ritual's duration (10 min), you can communicate with natural beasts and mundane plants (but not plant creatures).
The ritual does not make animals friendly, and the animals are limited in their knowledge by their experiences and mobility. For example, a plant knows only about its immediate surroundings, and a fish can describe only what it has seen or experienced underwater.
Your Nature check result determines the number of questions you can ask (0 to 3).[/sblock]Toeto would probably get Yishim to display the illusion and she'd ask something like "Where did this man say he was going?"[/sblock]
