Constables of the 14th Ward Part 2

[Leif]

[sblock=Jonas]"I shall do just that, Constable. I'm sorry, my Son, I didn't catch your name? And thank you, Son, you're always welcome here. The 14th, eh? Very classy place, that."[/sblock]

"My apologies for my rudeness Father Stonebrook. My name is Jonas, Jonas Kewiczak. My father is Elias Kewiczak, he's a Long Shiv down on the docks. If you need me I can be contacted at the constables headquarters in the 14th. I may live there now, but my heart is here in the 2nd." [/sblock]

[sblock=Jonas Kewiczak]"Yes, of course! Elias and I go way back! He's been a Shiv almost as long as I have. I should have known from the family resemblance. Give your father my best when you see him. Or, actually, I may see him before you do, since we are meeting soon to finalize this big settlement. I'll tell him that his boy is looking well and keeping us all safe."

And as soon as he says this, you hear someone call out to Quarphar Stonebrook: "Hey Stoney! Breaktime is over! We've got papers to sign for the settlement."

"Forgive me, lad, but I must get getting back to work. A Shiv's work is never done, even when he's on strike!"[/sblock]

And asking to see the books is generally not done, sorry. (Too much freakin' work for the DMS!)

[mode="annoying whine"] Aww c'mon - just let me roll the dice and tell me if I found any unusual patterns of dates/destinations/etc - particularly anything that looks like duplicate entries?[/quit whining]
Gather info check for reviewing BB books. (1d20 5=17)

 

[Scotley]

OOC: Darius, and any one else, your police powers do not extend to examining the books of a business without a warrant from the local Magistrate. Note that you are not in the 14th here. Your DM's can arrange the mechanics of a search of the books without difficulty, but you have to get the warrant first, or try to bluff your way into it...

 

[Leif]

OOC: Actually, I think the shop whose books they are talking about inspecting is in The Edge district of the 15th, not the 14th. Close, but, as they say, NO SEEEGAR. But, truthfully, I know that Ignatious Ironshirt wouldn't just 'rubber stamp' a request for such a warrant in the 14th. Dwarves are notoriously picky about having their privacy invaded, and they afford the same courtesy to others. So he would take a pile of convincing! ("Pile", of course, being the operative word where Darius is involved. )

 

[xedr]

For the moment, Darius drops his request to see the books, and simply asks the shop manager if they are aware of any lost or stolen weapons shipments.

 

[Rhun]

Braevil joins Darius within the Blue Basilisk. He leans over to his companion and whispers. "Perhaps we could use diplomacy in our request to see their books. Surely the proprieter doesn't want any trouble with the law."

Brae has +10 on diplomacy...not sure who the squad's "face" is, though I'm sure somebody has a higher score.

Inside the shop area of Blue Basilisk

Darius, Brae, and the rest (if any) stride boldly into the front dor of Blue Basilisk with all the imposing bearing of Constables of Lauralie Summerhome, bronze badges shining. Darius then gets the attention of a passing hobgoblin foreman, and asks him about lost shipments.

"Shipments? This is Production, not Shipping! The Shipping Department is around the corner, in the alley next to the privy. Sorry, can't chat now, got work to do!"

[sblock=Braevil Talisker]We've been taking an "ensemble" approach in this game, so there's not really one certain "face" of the party. Good idea, though, maybe the Constables should discuss it in character? You can all tell from your daily interaction who among you is the most charismatic.[/sblock]

 

[Rhun]

"Ah, yes," responds Brae to the foreman. "Our apologies, of course. Thank you."

The bearded cleric shrugs at Darius. "Around the corner, then?"


Well, unless Rahvin is still in the game, it looks like Brae is the most Diplomatic, if not necessarily the most Charismatic. Others are better at Bluff and Intimidation.
