Inside the Manky Mermaid
"Hmp!" the well-dressed westerner manages as Banio and Trusova arrive at his table... one of them a little too close for comfort, practically brushing against him.
"What's that, now?" the man says in very proper Fesselmarkian, his expression revealing that he can smell the day's work on the portly Phelbt. His blue eyes brighten, though, when he realizes what the man has said.

"What can you tell me of the College of Doors?"OOC:
Make a skill check to see if you know what's what about this college. History, Incantation, Streetwise... would even take Luck. (But recall rolling Luck lowers it by one after the roll.) Locals will enjoy a +2 bonus. As usual for an unopposed challenge, meet or beat 20.
