Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sephiroth no Miko" data-source="post: 1813263" data-attributes="member: 4796">You enter into a huge central hall lit by numerous fireplaces and iron braziers hanging from the vaulted ceiling. Though the air quality is little better inside than outside, the warmth in here feels welcome after the chilly winds. The first thing that attracts your attention is a massive fountain at its center-- instead of flowing with water, it jingles with what must be thousands of coins. Despite the rampant greed you've encountered in this town, however, you don't see anyone trying to fish them out.The festhall is filled with all sorts of cutters, most of them engaged in one form of entertainment or another. There are lithe dancers and lusty bards to delight the eyes and ears, and fine wine and food to tempt the palate. Off to your side, you can see berks engaged in games of chance and skill (some well-dressed, some not), while hard-looking bouncers patrol the floor vigilantly to ensure no violence breaks out. Overall, the atmosphere is bawdy but peaceful, a pleasant if unexpected respite from the poorly veiled hostility in the rest of the city. Whoever owns this place runs a tight ship, it seems.<a href="http://s92908152.onlinehome.us/hellbound/image.pl?festhall.jpg" target="_blank">Festhall of the Falling Coins</a>Zoe: [spoiler][Zoe rolled an Int check 17+2=19] It comes to you quite suddenly where you've seen this type of architecture-- in the Underdark of Toril, amongst the drow. [Zoe rolled Sense Motive 7+17=24] Sadly, Flaust never mentioned who she was expecting to meet here. You think that outside of asking her, maybe talking to one of the employees would prove helpful, though it's highly unlikely they'll know where Daubei's Obscure Woe is. They might be able to direct you to someone who does.[/spoiler]Flaust: [spoiler][Flaust rolled Spot 4+11=15] You look around for suspicious characters and although the group got plenty of glances, no one seemed particularly interested in your activities. In the festhall, you scan the crowd for the owner of the place but unfortunately, since you don't really know what he looks like, you're forced to rely on your intuition for which one of these berks he might be. You see a number of rich hoi-poi types, but none of them are acting like they own the place.[/spoiler]Kiaros: [spoiler][Kiaros rolled Hide 11+24=35, Spot 12+20=32, Listen 8+20=28] You lurk silently in the ceiling, scanning the place intently and listening in to bits of conversations here and there. Sadly, Flaust never really described the cutter she was looking for, so you're somewhat stumped to who it might be. You note a scaly man watching one of the dancers who seems somewhat important, as well as a githyanki by one of the gambling tables and a human by another game table. These three seem to be the wealthiest bloods in the room, and in a town like this, that's pretty much equivalent to the most important.[/spoiler]</blockquote>
