[sblock=OOC] Think we are all agreed to go to the water front. Rezak will break off from the group and do a little snooping before they rest of the party arrive. Well there is no Gather Info in PF but that is what I would like to do so maybe a Know(local) to find out anything about the area. Rezak will join the others when they arrive and hopfully have a place they can go to start asking questions. [/sblock]

Oh and he does have dark hair LOL [/sblock]The bartender thanks Caridoc, and the party leaves the tavern. You head south, towards the docks.
This trip takes you deeper into the poorer sections of Specularum than you have been before. The stench is nearly unbearable in most of the narrow, twisting, muddy, dark streets because there is no sewage system here, except for trenches in the centers of the streets. You see many pigs, chickens, geese, and goats. Among the shabbily dressed populace you pass are many miserable children, knowing little of either play or schooling, as they must work as errand boys or assist their mothers in the often futile hunt for potable water, food, and cooking oil. Many of the people you pass avoid you.
You do pass some squares where there are merchants selling basic items such as clothing or bread. The lines to buy are often long, and loud conversations are common there. The common mood is frustration, and you hear some angry comments, such as "If the so-called nobles had to live like we do, they wouldn't last a day!" or "The Duke drinks wine and eats caviar for breakfast - why does he force us to eat manure?" or "The Torenescu run this city and they won't be happy until they squeeze every last drop of blood from the working people!"
Finally you get to the waterfront area, which is cleaner and better smelling, although it is still a rough neighborhood and the scent of fish is strong.
Rezak seperates from the rest of you, as you look around for any clues.
The Old Baby Inn seems to be as good a place as any to start your inquiries, so the rest of the party goes in. There are several men inside, most of them poorly shaven and sporting nautical-themed tattoos such as mermaids and sharks. Beer is the common drink, although you do see some wine bottles behind the counter. The bartender is a human man with a huge beard of nearly dwarven proportions.
[sblock=Rezak]Rezak asks directions and finds his way to Vinter's Lane, a few blocks inland, and enters what appears to be the main storefront. A still-handsome older gentleman is behind the counter, selling some wine bottles to a rough-looking, scarred sailor. Despite his looks, the sailor politely thanks the older man and leaves with his wine.
"Good afternoon. Can I help you?" the old man asks you.[/sblock]

[sblock=DM] "Oi, that ye may that ye may." Rezak starts in with smile. "I's happen thee good fortune of comin's into seem marks, gold if ye believe. And a feller likes me don't be able ta drinks anyting a fine as whats I heard ye be havin' here. So I wish to ask ye which wines of a finer sort do you tink I shuild waste me money on while in I's have dae fortunate chance."
Rezak looks around the store seeing if he notices anything helpful while he speaks. [/sblock]
[sblock=OOC]What to use? what to use? Try Diplomacy +5, Bluff +6 and followed up by Perform (act) +5 see if I can't make a convincing beggar got lucky. [/sblock]

[/sblock]Caridoc follows the others as they walk through the streets of Specularum. As they pass through the poor section, his hand automatically goes to morningstar before he remembers that it is peace bound and he will have to depend on his dagger. Still the people don't look as though they would be much of a threat unless they gang up. In which case no weapons will save them.
Caridoc keeps an eye on the party's rear as they move through the town. He is trying to spot anyone who might be following them.
As they enter the inn, Caridoc hangs back and lets one of the others do the talking.

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard
Barek moves to the bar, channeling his best goodwill as he asks the bartender, "Pardon, but we were looking for vintages from the Trouscan Estates, and word has it the waterfront is the best place to find them. Would you happen to have any in your stock, or know where we might find some?"
((OOC: Diplomacy +9))

[sblock=Rezak]The old man looks you over. "If I so rarely had gold, I wouldn't be so quick to spend it. A good wine can be a memorable experience, but it's no substitute for decent clothing or the knowledge that you can survive a bout of unemployment. Are you sure it's what you want?"[/sblock]
The bearded bartender takes a bottle from the shelf in back of him and sets it on the counter in front of Barek. "You're in luck. Ten gold." The seal on the bottle does resemble what you remember.

Barek smiles and nods. "I'm wanting this to be a surprise for my friend's brithday celebration. Now, I'm quite well-known among my peers for giving unique gifts, and I'd hate to break tradition now, but given how ecclectic and broad his acquaintances are, it's impossible for me to talk to each of them to verify. So might you be able to tell me, has anyone else purchased any such bottles from you recently?"
[sblock=OOC]Bluff +9 or Diplomacy +9, not sure which is most appropriate[/sblock]
