[sblock=Rezak]The old man replies "Well, if you're determined to waste your gold, I might as well be the one to profit by it. Is your friend that shipwright?"

He looks over his collection, selects a bottle, and puts it on the counter. "Trouscan Estates, and a good vintage. This'll be ten gold."[/sblock]

The bartender replies to Barek "I reckon not. But I'm not the only bartender, nor is this the only tavern in town. But wine's a good gift. Everyone likes it, and it'll last until he drinks it, no matter how many bottles he gets."

 

[HolyMan]

[sblock=OOC] Sorry did the sailor have red hair, I don't see it in the post maybe I rolled low perception. If Rezak didn't see the hair or the answer is no. He does the following.

[sblock=DM] "Mae friend be workin arounds here I do's believe but , I forgets tings frum times ta times," Rezak says looking to were the sailor had been. "Ye sayin dae sailor be walking out wit da sames as dat bottle just nows?"

OCC: If the answer to Rezak's question is yes or the salior had red hair Rezak bolts out the door and tries to spot the man.[/sblock][/sblock]

While Barek is talking to the inn keeper, Caridoc will stand just outside the door keeping an eye out for people either watching them or otherwise doing things outside of the norm.

[sblock=Rezak]ooc: No, the sailor didn't have red hair.

The old man says "No. I sold a bottle to a another sailor, a guy with red hair named Akiros. Is he your 'friend'?' Anyway, you have the gold or not?"[/sblock]

Caridoc notes people watching the group - most of the sailors seem to be keeping an eye on you. However, given the group's unusual composition compared to the regular crowd, and the presense of your bound weapons and armor, that is only to be expected. Perhaps the sailors are particularly suspicious of Celythia, as they watch her more than the rest of the party.

 

[HolyMan]

[sblock=DM] "Eh?" Rezak says turning back. "No's no's not me friend then at that." He digs into his pockets to pull out his 'good' money purse and hands the wine dealer his gold.

Then taking the bottle he heads out with the slight swagger of a drunkerd in need of a drink.

OOC: Rezak will return to where the others went with his news. Just let me know when Rezak arrives. [/sblock]

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

The bartender replies to Barek "I reckon not. But I'm not the only bartender, nor is this the only tavern in town. But wine's a good gift. Everyone likes it, and it'll last until he drinks it, no matter how many bottles he gets."

Barek reaches into his belt pouch as if for coin, then gives a sheepish grin.

"If you'll pardon me just a moment, it seems I'm going to need some help from my friends on this gift. Let me just make sure they're all on board."

He steps back easily, leaving the bottle on the bar, then speaks quietly to the others.

"It looks like the wine, but if this man knows anything of value, I'm not sure I can get it from him sort of using an arcane charm, and if any of these types recognized I was casting it, I think we'd be in even more trouble with the constabulary.

"We can always return here, but I'd suggest we feign a shortage of funds and move on, see if we can perhaps catch up with Rezak. He seemed convinced he had a better way to get what we're looking for."

Caridoc continues to stand outside the inn door and watch the sailors. As they continue to watch him, he smiles and waves at the them.

Just then Barek move to talk Celythia, so Caridoc move inside to join them. Pointing to his money belt and shaking his head as if to say he's skint, he actually says "I don't think its wise to contact Rezak. We're sticking out like a sore thumb and attracting all sorts of attention. Normally I'd think acting as a lightning attractor was a good idea. But not if I'm limited to this pig sticker. Perhaps we should tell the inn keeper we can't afford the wine and be obvious in going to look for a cheaper source."

Celythia nods. "Well said, Cardidoc. Let us find someplace else when we will blend in better as we wait for Rezak."

 

[kinem]

As the group leaves the tavern, you see a man in worn clothing down the street, heading your way. It is Rezak.

 

[HolyMan]

"Oi!," Rezak says with a wave of his hand indicating a dark alley way. He then slips into the passage and looks about to see if it would be a good spot for a quick talk with the others.

[sblock=OOC] Just looking to see if nobody else is about in the alley. Thise masked guys came out in the open street before don't wan that again.
