[QUOTE="Insight, post: 5959926, member: 11437"] Raef Boloum, the proprietor in question, is taken aback by Skaros' presence, but seems none the worse for the exchange. [COLOR="orange"]"Really, sir,"[/COLOR] he says with some disdain. [COLOR="orange"]"Have you forgotten already our conversation from yesterday?"[/COLOR] [ooc]I can't recall who came into the book store, so I'm going to assume that most of you were in here. Raef would certainly recognize all of you from the tavern next door - where you first met him before he went to his shop.[/ooc] [COLOR="orange"]"As I said, I had the map to the Isle of Dread in my possession some time ago. I was hesitant to give you further details. The reason for this, which is, admittedly, a bit of an embarassment, well... I have my professional pride, you see. My customers expect a certain amount of decorum. A certain amount of discretion. And I aim to give it. Whenever possible."[/COLOR] Boloum sits down on a plush chair in the corner and sighs. [COLOR="orange"]"But I suppose you've already run afoul of the Veiled Society, haven't you? I'm not sure whatever information I give you is going to make anything any worse, now, is it?"[/COLOR] Boloum picks up a large book with a red velvet cover. He opens the book and pages through the middle of it. [COLOR="Orange"]"The dealings I had with this map were quite some time ago. Nearly a decade. I'm not sure how useful this information will be, but I will make you a deal. If I give you what I know, you will be out of my shop and never to return. Agreed?"[/COLOR] [ooc]Skaros earned the group another failure with his Intimidate check. I will, however, allow someone - Skaros or otherwise - to spend an Action Point to negate the failure. The skill check still fails, but it will not bring the skill challenge to an abrupt end.[/ooc] [/QUOTE]
