Shackled City - Chapter I

Stepping inside the shop, Zeric waited until the others were inside before speaking to the gnome.
"We have but a simple question for you. Have you been been contacted by anyone seeking entrance into the orphanage? Last night, four children were kidnapped from there, and the church has pledged to find all those responsible for it and see them brought to justice, alive or dead. If you know anything, I would advise you to answer truthfully now, as if it is later discovered that you sought to aide those we seek, it will not be the church's punishment you will have to fear."
Zeric's voice is controlled, but his hand never leaves his morningstar, leaving the message unspoken, but certainly implied.
ooc: Intimidate check please...
Maybe I'll have better luck with this one...

Stepping into the locksmith’s shop he notes the large number of locks on the door.
“I’m sorry master locksmith, my friend is a bit anxious about what happened at the orphanage, but be assured his heart is in the right place.”
Pointing at the locks on the door he asks:
“Is that a sign of the pride you take in your work, or are the streets in this city that unsafe, even for someone of your standing?”
“I’m sorry thats not the point, what you do is your own business. We just want to ask you about the work you did for the orphanage. Did anyone approach you in the last few days asking about your locks or showed a great interest in the work you did for the orphanage?”
“I’m sure you make excellent locks but it seems that someone got past your locks without using any sign of force.”

Orpheus looks at the back of Zeric's head and strongly considers smacking it. As his half-elven compadre explains their situation to the gnome, he addresses Zeric.
"You're not allowed to talk anymore," he says simply, looking at the morningstar with a "get-over-yourself" expression.

Keygan considers the group nervously, especially Zeric, his eyes darting back and forth between you all. He speaks, a slight shakiness evident in his voice, "It is quite unfortunate to hear about the orphanage's troubles, friends. I did personally create the locks they currently use."
The gnome cranes his neck conspicously towards a large curtain cutting off the other half of his shop while he speaks, "But I've not been approached by anyone at all, no shady characters whatsoever," he grimaces as he rolls his eyes towards the curtain and arches his neck again.

Orpheus puts his head in his hand.
Oh geez...
"What's behind the curtain there?" he asks, jaw locked firmly.

The gnome's eye widen sharply in surprise at the bard's question and he laughs nervously. "Nothing, nothing at all, just my workbench with my tools and materials," he jerks his head more forcefully towards the curtain, his eyes still wide, a look of slight anger at Orpheus, his own jaw clenched now, his teeth visible.

Elyas gives a pained expression at Orpheus’s question and mentally slaps him around the ears. He glances over to the curtain and gives a slight nod of the head.
“Don’t be stupid I’m sure that the master locksmith has nothing the hide.”
“I’m sorry that we troubled you at this late hour good sir”
While he spoke to the locksmith he fingered the crossbow at his side.
Dam not loaded, and only 1 spell left.
Elyas makes quick eye contacted with Alinis and Zeric hoping that at least they were aware of the present danger.
