The Forgotten Forge

Zane looks a bit worried muttering "I like this not" and watches the other people down here

Tai nods at the goblin's offer. She hopes that Pohl can resist the urge to threaten him for another minute or so.

"I appreciate your offer, sir. Most generous of you. But I see no need to keep you from your business. I only need good directions, not a guide. Say, perhaps, five silver, to compensate you for the time you've spent with me when you could have been selling to other customers? We both come out ahead that way; I get where I need to be, and you make a full day's profit with a little extra... for your family to enjoy."

 

[DEFCON 1]

Hell, I wouldn't even give this rodent FIVE silver...

...Pohl thinks to himself as Tai and the goblin undertake negotiations. However, as it seems like Tai has things under control, his view wanders around the marketplace and he takes in the mass of wretched humanity that lives in squallor here. He does his best to keep from grimmacing in disgust, but it is very hard.

Tai, Magus Zane, and I do not belong here. We're above this place. Gretchen...

He sees the shifter standing there quietly...

...I'm not so sure. But I do hope Tai can wrap this up soon so we can move on. This is getting quite bothersome.

The goblin visibely unhappy with the changeling offers, answers back "Obviously this meeting of yours at the valve isn't worth much. 30 sp is my final price. You are refusing a very good deal for that kind of information. Good luck in your search for the valve." The goblin smiles one last time and goes back to his occupation. Slapping on the hand a want to be shoplifter on the way. "That wax isn't free my goodmen, 8 cp for it."

Gretchen tries to keep an eyes around for anything unusual (spot roll 6-1) but doesn't see anything.

Zane and his familiar also keeping an eye around. (spot 20 +2) and notices something

As Pohl eyes wander around (spot roll 15+4) he also notices something

Pohl and Zane notice a shifter that seems to be very interested in the party's business with the goblin.

The shifter then notices that Pohl and Zane noticed him, and quickly dissapears among the crowd.

Zane nudges anyone nearby, whispering "Did you notice that shifter? Was watching up pretty darn close... but as soon as he saw we looking at him he took off"

 

[Delemental]

Tai closes her eyes and sighs. No use pursuing this further, she thinks. I can't haggle with what I don't have.

"I'm sorry that we couldn't reach an agreement on the value of your information," she says to him. "May Boldrei watch over your home and family."

She will rise and leave the goblin to his wares. Turning to her companions, she sees Pohl and Zane standing close together, apparently looking off into the crowd and whispering. She will approach to see what's up.

When Tai shows up he says "There was a shifter watching up...but as soon as we noticed him he took off. Maybe we had best move on?"

 

[DarkMaster]

There are four exits to the large rectangular common room one on each wall. The group arrived by the northern access. The four accesses are all busy with human, goblinoid and shifters going in and out. Because of the large crowd in the room about 40 peoples looking at the three goblin's merchandise, it's difficult to see all the features of the room. On the southern wall a heat conduct can be seen near the access ,on the eastern wall various water pipes. On the western wall there is an old chimney, a goblin is roasting rats on it. We can read on a cardboard in front of the chimney in a very rough handwriting: 25cp. The shifter dissapeared between the southern and eastern wall.

 

[DEFCON 1]

'Anyone who is interested in people like us probably have information we could use. Follow me.'

Having seen the shifter take off to the southeast, he immediately follows after him and tries to pick up his trail.

((Gather Info roll via Urban Tracking feat to find and follow the shifter))

 

[Delemental]

Tai, looking to follow Pohl, suddenly remembers that she still has Bonal's satchel packed away, which could very well have directions to the valve cluster. But with all these people around, and one apparently watching them... Dear Boldrei, this city's getting to me already. Why do I only remember this thing when we're somewhere we can't look at it?

With Pohl busy, Tai will approach either Zane or Grechen, depending on who is closer. "I've just remembered something that might help," she will whisper in that person's ear, "but I don't want to talk about it here. Can we find somewhere private after Master D'Velderan finds this shifter?"
