Ren looks at you with a face full of empuzzlement. "Tunnels? Under the inn? I've never heard of this Zenith guy, what does he know? And why is that woman actually a man?" Ren is clearly starting to mistrust you, though every one of you can also tell that there is more to the story than what he is actually disclosing.
Ren continues, "None of this makes sense...ever since those tratten kobolds have been acting up, everone in this town has been gettin' real dodgy...I don't know what to make of it. Plus there's the rats..." The last part he mumbles more to himself than any of you.
[sblock=Tratten]Tratten is a coined adjective equivalent to "d**ned;" not as harsh, but with more negative connotation than "darn." Any member of the upper class might be slightly offended by the use of such colloquial diction in a public place, though I don't know if a broom closet counts as such.[/sblock]

With a wide smile, Boldo steps forward and says, "Forgive us, we should not have barged in, expecting you to solve our problems for us. Of course, in today's troublesome climate, we should expect you to wisely guard yourself against villains. There is only one small matter with which you could help, but I sense you have a need as well. Tell us of these rats, maybe we can solve this problem and earn your trust."

[sblock=ooc]Do I know anything of the rats?[/sblock]
"It's okay Renn, like you said they are friends of mine." He puts his hand on the man's shoulder. "At least could we look around the basement a bit? There might be something down there you didn't know about. It might give weight to what we are telling you, and give us more reason to believe this Zenith fellow."
[sblock=Diplomacy] I got a 19. Roll Lookup

The old man sighs, the wrinkles in his face exaggerating his age. "I suppose I can trust you...I wasn't being exactly straightforward." He turns to Thomas. "I never let you in on any of this, but it's time you knew. None of you can tell anyone though!" After making sure that everyone promises not to tell, Ren continues: "As you may know, this town has some trouble with gangs. Since the trouble with the Ice Skulls began, the gangs have only been taking advantage of the town's weakness, growing in power themselves. A tiefling came to me in the past month on the run from one of the particularly nasty gangs, the Dirt Devils. I know of the tunnels underneath the inn. I went down there many years ago; they were only big enough for maybe two people to fit.
"Well, I decided to help the tiefling, Umber, so I let him hide in the tunnels. Sure enough, some tieflings, undoubtedly from the Dirt Devils gang, came to the inn and, while pretending to merely be patrons, searched the place. Luckily, they didn't find Umber. I let him come and go as he pleases, but I haven't seen him in a couple of weeks.
"Only a day after the last time I saw him, I went down to the basement to find it infested with giant rats. I have no idea how they got there, but if word gets out, it'll really ruin my business. And now you say there are kobolds down there too? I really don't understand any of this...
"But I trust Thomas, and any of his friends. If you want to search the basement and the tunnels, you may do so any time you please. I was planning to hire a group to exterminate the rats anyway, so I won't be stingy, even in this economic down, and I'll give you 40 gold pieces for getting rid of those rats.
"You can go down into the basement any time you like. I've got to get back to the bar. Please, if you find anything out, let me know. My old brain can't keep up with all these current events!" With a desperate smile of a man trying to make a hopeless situation seem humorous, Ren leaves the closet for you to go down whenever you are ready.

"Sounds like everybody has a secret around here," Thomas says.
"Unless anybody has anything they need to grab, we might as well go now." Thomas walks over to the trapdoor to the basement and reaches down to grab the handle.
