Of course Dazzle darling, let's go pay a comfortable visit! Felicia says with a smile.

Xella yells upwards. I'll keep an eye down here! No need for me to climb back up if we plan on exploring it!

Luruth is probably your best bet, add he isn't terribly bright. He operates a foul smelling Tannery.
After you confront him, he seems shifty but tries not to say anything.
How do you proceed?

After a time Sorgrimm returns to the waiting Balak, unsuccessful in finding any relevant information.
"Any developments here since I’ve been gone? Word from the others?" Sorgrimm leans his head down to the hole to yell to Xella, "How goes it down there Xella?"

Balak sees a crush of people, many trying to cordon off the sinkhole and a whole bunch of looksee-lous. Something odd catches his eye from over by Mother Yalantha's boarding house... but it is just a half dozen people moving the other way, toward one of the quarries.

Hmmmm...Balak is gonna log that tidbit away in his mind for those of his party that are thinkers.
He slams his hammer into his shield to make a loud noise.
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!!!
Attention please! Step away from the crime scene! This is being investigated by the mason’s guild! This kind of structural hazard must be inspected in order to shore up any shoddy worksmanship! Back away for your own safety, or else something may smash into you by accident!
Balak finds a melon somewhere, places it in the middle of the crowd, and slams his hammer into it, smashing it Gallagher-style, but demonstrably rather than comically.

The crowd are equally repelled and drawn to Balak's fruitery, and he senses no net change in the crowd, but they do get to talking (gossiping) about masons, and taking the hole more seriously - it's official a crime scene now. He hears Albaeri Mellikho's name a few times, and strange nocturnal activity at Mellikho Stoneworks. Nothing concrete, just 'I heard' stuff.
Jun 27, 2018 1:27 pm
Balak is going to try to discuss further with the people.
What have you heard about Mellikho?

My dear Felicia, shall we pay Ilmuth Waelver a visit? And maybe mention that Luruth let slip that Ilmuth is to blame for the cave-in, get them turning on each other?
Jun 27, 2018 1:57 pm
Yes, this is a lovely plan. In their confusion we can glean much more information, and perhaps make a wily escape if we so choose. Felicia says with a twisted smile.

Assuming you proceed to Waelvur's Wagon works, you find Ilmuth puttering around his cluttered, untidy shed which is surrounded by dozens of wagons shrouded in worn canvas tarpaulins.
You know that Waelvur has a reputation for being a hard drinking, sullen man who cares little for the troubles of others. You immediately note that his workers have taken lessons in behavior from him.

Waelvur! Dazzle calls out, interrupting the labourers. We have some important information for you, something that I think you're going to want to hear right away.
Whispering conspiratorially, though ensuring Felicia is within earshot, Dazzle confides in the elder. You heard about the cave-in, yeah? We got word that you are going to take the blame. You alone.

The man turns and meets your eye, spitting into the dust. "You hit your head on a rock, boy? What are you going on about?"
The teamsters in the shed snigger at their bosses 'clever' word play.

Oy, you heard the man right? Shoddy plansmanship. Old eyes missing obvious weak structures. Only one man to be blamed, ya know? Felicia says, eyes roaming the group looking for the best looking laborer, giving that one a wink and a smile.
Jul 4, 2018 1:30 am
"What the abyss you going on about? You blaming me for tunnels collapsing? Who put that idea in your pretty head?"
One of the laborers seems less skeegy than the others, and concerned by his boss. Like he might know something, but clearly doesn't want to stand out.

Dazzle sighs, feigning concern, as he puts a hand on Waelvur's shoulder. I'm sorry to say that someone's head has got to roll. Those kids that fell into the sinkhole, well, they're never going to be the same again. And it won't be long before the townsfolk find someone to blame. As I said, the other elders have decided that you're going to take the fall for this, and the pitchforks are being sharpened as we speak.
He looks into Waelvur's eyes, offering him a ray of hope. But! It doesn't have to go the way they want. We can get ahead of this, control the narrative. Why don't you tell us what really happened, and we can help make sure that you survive all of this unscathed.
Dazzle subtly keeps an eye on the less shifty labourer, watching to see how he reacts to the unfolding conversation. He decides they'll have to find that one later, to ask him questions without his boss overhearing.

Dazzle, make a social roll, like Deception, to convince him of your spiel. TN=13.
