DarkMaster - On the Gather Info question: Sure, that would be no problem. As it is generally used as a generic way of going about town to avoid questioning individuals I've seen many a write up in modules saying that it can be used this way as well. Usually skills like Intimidate or Bluff so single encounters, but they are more for specific questions. Gather Information is more taking in random infomation like gossip & rumors.
DarkMaster, you also have to take into account that all of them are experienced mercenaries. They aren't average joes by any means, even Teleri, who is perhaps the youngest of the elven members. They've been nearly killed half a dozen times since joining the group. None of them are going to take anyone or anything at face value. In fact, Teleri is very suspicious of charming individuals. She thinks they all have hidden agendas. But then, she's... um borderline paranoid. ![:]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png "Devious :]")

There are a great deal of circumstances that dictate whether or not your character trusts another. Skills are for simplicity's sake.
If Teleri doesn't trust him, that's fine.
Sarlis made a rather good first impression with Calenthang, and therefore Calenthang has no quarrels with him. But through our interactions thus far, he can see that Sarlis is not a totally honest person. He's not evil, but he has a hidden agenda.

I wish I could find him an hidden agenda

.Wellll.... Sarlis may not have a hidden agenda, but the character does have a heavy sense of arrogance about him. And for someone so relatively young and inexperienced, that is rather off-putting.
I mean, case in point. Teleri's sword StormArmour is very arrogant. But on the other hand, the spirit within the sword also has the experience and power to back that arrogance up.
Teleri herself is a bit judgemental, don't get me wrong. But once she's called on it, she does take stock and think about her beliefs, sizing them up against others and adapting them when she sees that they have.... Flaws. StormArmour has been a great help in that and in the process, Teleri has learned a great deal about humility.

Darkmaster, just a note on Sielwoodan. He is just like that. He loves to gives critics, or should I say, it's just impulsive from him. And his critic are generally crude because he simply doesn't talk much. He favor silence over words. "La parole est d'argent, mais le silence est d'or". I suppose you know that.
And for the skills, they are generally used against NPCs, and even the best diplomacy won't make someone fall in love with you if he is hating you. Sielwoodan has always judge people for there actions, not there words, that's how I play him. But still, as Sarlis is pretty charismatic, I decide to put some doubt in Sielwoodan heads, now if you prove yourself with soem action, he will like you faster...
And I'm from Montreal too, and I've heard too about what Jean Chretien did in China, and I totally approve you on that point.
