Black Sails Over Freeport Part 2 - Intrigue Inn (aka the Haunted Place)

[JimAde]

Torren chuckles. "It would certainly get their attention. Maybe a little subtlety is called for, however. First we have to find out what rooms they're in." Turning to the filcher he says, "I don't know how to do that yet, but once we do...Kitsch, do you suppose you could get up to their window unseen? Do a little eavesdropping?"

[OCC] Just as an FYI, you might be able to 'inquire' at the front desk where they checked in... but the Inn does have a policy of privacy[/OCC]

Zoraster Surefoot

"Too much? That's abshurd." Zoraster shakes his head from side to side, testing to see how much the room spins. "So you want to just run around night peeping in windows till we gets in a fight with them and asks? Why dont we just skip to the fun part." Zoraster finishes with a confident smile, as if he had just made an eloquent point.

Torren pointedly takes the glass from in front of Zoroaster and sets it aside. "How about a nice cup of coffee?" he asks.

After ordering one, he continues, "I'll go have a chat with the desk clerk and see if I can figure out what room our friends are in. Anyone care to accompany me?"

[OOC: Looking over the group, it looks like I'm the only one with ranks in Diplomacy. We need a bard. ]

Villard listen silently to his friend while on the look out for any kind of troubadour coming down the stairs.

no troubadours are to be seen in the inn or coming down the main stairs… as Torren heads to the front desk. A human male behind the desk looks up smiling as Torren awakens and asks "How might I assist you sir?"

Making his 'pitch'…
Diplomacy roll 11 +5 =16
…and the deskman raises an eyebrow "Sir we pride ourselves on strict privacy here. I am sorry that I cannot give out that information. Perhaps I could leave them a note and if they want to contact you they can at their convenience?"

Kitsch will approach Torren and the desk clerk, scampering nimbly up onto the desk, he signs to his friend ~a few coins might sway his principles~, he discretely looks around for a room log or something of the sort, while hoping to give the impression that he is just waiting for Torren to finish up.

 

[JimAde]

"An excellent idea," Torren says, responding to both the clerk and Kitsch. "I have something here for them..." he says sorting through his pockets. He absently places a stack of coins on the desk, sliding it toward the clerk. "Of course it would be better if I could deliver it myself. Bit of a surprise," he finishes, winking.

[OOC: I have two problems: I'm not sure how much cash Torren has, and I'm a little fuzzy on what a viable bribe would be. Given the patrons in this place the desk clerk probably makes pretty good money. I'm thinking something on the order of 50 GP, which means the coins are either platinum or not coins at all but small gemstones.]

 

[DarkMaster]

Villard impressed by the man disciplined tells the other "Let's split, we will knock in an insisting fashion on every door until we get their door. We will then pretend that it was a mistake. Once we know their position we can organise an attack on those followers of the fishmen" Villard a bit scared of having his idea critized adds".... or maybe it's better to have Kitsch climb the outside wall and ..."

Villard terminates so softly that nobody understand the end. He then lowers his head nervously.

[OCC] In a place like this, I think 20gp would be a REALLY good bribe. You probably have that much on you. [/OCC]

After showing the deskman his 'surprise' for his 'friends' the man looks around, licks his lips and says "Of course I totally understand wanting to surprise your friends. They are staying in 2E. They specifically requested a room on the west side. I'm sure tehy would love to see you."

He quickly pockets the gold.
