Message: <blockquote data-quote="Narrator" data-source="post: 692581" data-attributes="member: 10027">To CleteYou entered the room and noticed immediately two things: any ruse that this was a shoe shop was destroyed pretty much on entering and there was a man attempting to hide just to your left and slightly behind you, in other words, behind the door.Keeping just inside the doorframe meant that if any trouble ensued you could easily duck out before you were trapped and the crossbowman across the street would need at least a second or two to realize what was going on and aim.You threw the stocky little man some money and explained your purpose here; he deftly caught the two pieces and examined them. Not trusting to his eyes he bit into them and with some measure of surprise looked at them and then back at you and nodded his head before speaking."Whatever it be you do, it must pay well as these ain't no buttons. Aye Giblets, he's no Abram cove... though he may be if we take 'im to the Abbess, hehe."At the mention of the word 'Giblets', the man behind the door steps into view and stands to the side. Impassionate and cold-eyed, he watches you with arms crossed and a 'don't mess with me or you'll find out why I'm called Giblets' kinda way."So, you want to know a bit about... who was it again? Me pony's a bit light on the plate, if ye know what I mean?"And indeed you did, as you reached into your purse and tossed him another golden coin from it."What's a natty lad like you want with a cull like 'im?"DM: He's not an old man. Just so you know, often a rogue will divulge information in the form of a conversation so the fact that he's asking you a question is merely a part of the process and not that he's avoiding telling you anything and waiting for more money. And if you're canny, you'll see he's already divulged something significant <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
