Just as Trissrie is about to inquire about the onlooker's strange orange bauble, Cinead's greeting catches her attention. Staring down she meets his smile with her own. "Hello friend, I am Trissrie of Niloka."

She looks around the interior of the tavern, finding it quite comfy. "It is strange to be so far from home, but also wonderful, to witness such wonders from it's people. And you, Cinaed of Seighin, do you also travel and explore?"
May 15, 2019 12:25 pm
"Hello Trissrie of Niloka, it is a pleasure to meet you." Cinead gestures to the table he had just vacated. Then signals to the barkeep for two drinks. "Why don't we have a seat? I can tell you a little of my travels although most of those stories are from my younger days."

Trissrie and Cinaed- The hunched man in the corner is very obviously peering at Trissrie through an orange tinted crystal. Cinaed recognizes a tattoo on the man's bared arms as a symbol of middling importance in the Academy of Alchemical Calculation. The man pulls out quill, ink, and parchment and begins to write furiously as he continues to examine Trissrie while muttering to himself.

OOC:
Barrot- you can also start describing what you are doing as Laura walks in to The Cold Cup. I think we can play off both scenes at the same time and it won't be too confusing.

I sit at the bar. Drinking, slow long drinks. My back is to the tavern. I don't care who's there. Bar keeper, any jobs?

"Oh yes, please do. Everyone is so curious about me, it would be a windfall to hear the words of another." Trissrie does her best to squeeze into the table, finding it just big enough to accommodate her without strain. "Although...perhaps you've seen my homeland before?"
May 15, 2019 9:49 pm
Laura strides. Doesn't seem to bother her that she is a female and most all are probably males. She head directly to the bar keep. Something in a mug and looking for a soldier name Barrott. Should have just arrived here earlier from the Eye. She slides a gold coin across the counter.

"While I have heard of your people, I have not had the pleasure of seeing your homeland. Mostly traveled the Free Cities, the Foothills of course, been up into the Blackshields a few times, and even down to the Frostfinger once. Perhaps we should save those stories for another time."
Cinaed nods his head towards the hunched man taking notes. "I dont know if you have noticed but that fellow from the Alchemicals has taken quite an interest in you. Perhaps we would be better off finding another place to talk."

Laura- The barkeep is a tall, but thin man who looks like he knows his way around a variety of sharp objects. He looks at you suspiciously and for the briefest second he seems to have glanced at one of the rough looking men nearby at the bar. Aye, Barrot was here, but he's gone out again. Taken a contract. Who's looking for him?

"I do not recall if I have met these places." In truth Trissrie may have, but if so not by the names Cinead calls them.

Regardless, Cinead's concerns regarding the older man give her pause. "Should we? He looks to have plans of his own." Finding no reason (or way) to leave without the man noticing, Trissrie decides she might as well stay put.

Cinaed and Trissrie:

The hunched man scurries up to your table. His eyes are somewhat bloodshot and he looks disheveled. He unceremoniously drops his sheaf of notes down on your table as he addresses Trissrie: My name is Shigal Himir, you may have read one of my guides on the production of magical tinctures hm? I am offering you an opportunity to make history and perhaps make a little gold on the side, and all I need is just a few minutes of your time. If you would follow me, my laboratory is just a few buildings down, your assistance would be most appreciated hm? You both notice some of the writing on the sheets spilling out from his folder: "shortcut to missing ingredient?!" "Invisibility magic finally! Results are not far away!" and finally "grant $$$$"
May 16, 2019 1:44 pm
I look to Laura. I know where he is. I can tell you for a gold.
May 16, 2019 9:50 pm
Laura laughs Yeah for a gold She philters another gold coin. And holds it out. Wouldn't rather just sit a table with me and drink? She leans in closer Would be so much more fun.
May 17, 2019 1:49 pm
Fun doesn't get me out of this hell hole. I reach for the coin.
May 17, 2019 3:35 pm
Trissrie looks at this strange man and his wealth of writings on the table, unsure of what to think. "Assistance? How so, for I am no scholar."

Insight for his claims - (1d20+5)

Laura and Barrott
There is a man in the corner looking towards you as he speaks to one of the busboys

Rolls

Suspicious activity in the corner

Laura and Barrott
You both easily notice a clumsy attempt to hide the fact that the man has just slipped some gold to the busboy.

Trissrie and Cinaed
He pauses a moment in thought

OOC:
oh jeez he rolled a 2
(He's definitely not being totally forthright with you, but he is very confident in his superior intellect and supposed fame.)
Don't worry about the details dear. I can explain more fully what I will need from you once you see the equipment. You have a particular aspect that will be very valuable to my success and it is totally safe. (it's not totally safe)I can pay you well and it will only take a short time hm?(This part he seems more sure of himself)
