don't think it is a good idea to be so...vocal about the things we are investigating.  I don't want the police to get all up in arms about us taking over their jobs for them, so lets just try to work together with them.  I'm going to head over to the Boar's Whisker and spend some time interviewing people there to see if I can turn up anything.  I'll see you again a bit after sundown."Anton gives a quick nod to Alyson before heading out the door.[spoiler]Anton spends a moment on the side of the street outside getting his bearings.  Glancing at the address listed on the papers he has he sets out in the general direction of the Boar's Whisker.  He arrives there a few hours before sundown and begins speaking to the few patrons around.He asks questions like: Do you know Onar Dyem or Goilon Lurilis?  Have you seen them lately?  Were you around here during the bar brawl?  Did you know the guy who died during it, Ronald Gwalk?  Did you catch a glimpse of anyone using a blade in that fight?  Did anyone try to run out during the fight?The answers are wide and varied: A few people knew Onar and Goilon vaguely because they have been to their main hangout, "Andrew's", another small pub across town.  Haven't seen either of them since the brawl.  A few of the patrons were around the night of the brawl...none admit to participating in it.  Most of them knew Ronald as being a bit loud and bullying at times, but generally a nice guy.  They don't think he had any family but he may have had a girlfriend who he talked about from time to time.Nobody saw a blade during the fight.A few guys noticed Goilon running out at some point during the brawl, but don't know if it was before or after Ronald was stabbed.Red the bartender is able to give Anton an address for where Ronald lives, a small apartment in a semi-poor section of town.  Red says that Ron was a fisherman by trade and thus wasn't very rich, but lately had been tossing a bit more money around buying drinks and such.  Red doesn't think he gambled or anything so isn't sure where he could have come into the extra cash.Anton thanks everyone for answering his questions and says he may stop in again sometime if needed.  He noticed that it has gotten dark outside after the time spent talking to people, so he decides it would be best to head back to the office and meet everyone.[/spoiler]Anton arrives back at the office about a half hour before the time he had indicated previously, and he simply waits around for everyone to get back.[OOC: Yup I'll be handling all of the rolls that you shouldn't know the actual results on.  If you sense something from a person you are talking to I will indicate it with phrases like...."you don't feel Mr. X is telling the whole truth".  I will also be NPCing Anton to simply interview as many people as he can before going back to the office to keep things moving along.]----Telsar & Gram:[spoiler]"I am not very skilled in the healing arts, but one of our more experienced brethren has explained to me that the nature of her broken skull makes it very dangerous to heal at a fast rate.  He brain has swollen slightly due to the injuries to her head and if we simply knitted everything back together it might put a lot of pressure on it...so natural healing is really best in this situation.  We have high hopes that she will recover physically, but we don't know if she will ever wake again.Yes yes Robert...."  She shuffles through some papers.  "He left only a vague address for where he lives, an apartment building on..."  She describes the block that it is on to you and you recognize it.  "He visits often enough however that we didn't feel the need to poke into his private affairs too much, since he is grieving still and all."A nurse is soon secured and she explains that procedure is very quick but must be done everyday to prevent infection.  You follow her upstairs to Ms. Duffin's room and she lets herself in and sets some towels, a bowl of steaming water, and a few jars of various liquids on the table next to the bed.  Carefully unravelling the bandages she allows you to see the partially healed wounds.Most of Ms. Duffin's hair has been trimmed away to make cleaning the wound easier.  The back of her head is covered with large blotchy bruises of many different colors.  In a few places there are some deep cuts that have been neatly sewn up with a needle and thread.  The nurse explains that it is slightly hard to see the places where her skull was broken and points them out as a few bumpy and uneven points on Ms. Duffin's head.When you are finished examining the wounds the nurse goes about cleaning Ms. Duffin's head with a combination of hot water and the liquids from the jars.  She rewraps the wounds with some bandages she had brought up with her, and after it is finished gathers up her medical materials and walks with you back downstairs.You glance outside one of the windows and notice that it is still a bit light outside, but it will be getting dark very soon.[/spoiler]----Salzorin:[spoiler]You make it back to the office without incident and see that Anton is the only one who has arrived so far.[/spoiler]</blockquote>
