"I know it was quite foolish, just please how me repair this before I face any consequenses."

"I probably could get you in for a quick search, it is just that I would rather not let it out what I am searching for, and I don't trust Panath to keep a thing like that quiet."

Hot Mustard · August 8, 2003, 14:19

"Hmm. We could easily pretend you misplaced something else, but that would only excuse yourself, and perhaps one friend, in to search. More eyes are always better. Does Panath regularly host such parties? Has he ever, or might he consider, hosting one for money? We could weave a tale about being interested in holding a party there, but would like to inspect the premises to see if they are suitable. If he's interested, he might let then let us all in, including our structural appraiser here.", says Rags as he nods towards Bandar.

"In the meantime, if the broach is noticed as missing, you can simply say that you noticed it was a little dull, and sent it to a jewelry shop for cleaning."

Jon Miller · August 8, 2003, 14:36

"I had thought of that actually. Ostler and myself have searched there. Panath occasionally hosts parties, but he usually needs a reason, and I doubt that money would do."

"Actually, I was not suppose to have the Broach in the first place. If it was noticed missing, I would deny any knowledge of it and it would probably be brought in front of the watch. In fact it might already have been." she says worriedly.

Hot Mustard · August 8, 2003, 14:44

"The Watch? Who is your father, Incana?"

Jon Miller · August 8, 2003, 15:09

"Of couse the watch. When you have something valuable stolen you go to the Watch. Do you do things differently in Silverymoon?"

Harry Seldon · August 8, 2003, 15:13

"In the shield dwarf region, I'd just attack them to reclaim m' property."

Hot Mustard · August 8, 2003, 15:15

"I see. I was underestimating the value of this item."

"Have you any jealous friends who were at the party? Or anyone would showed a particular interest in the broach?"

"Ostler, were you at the party? Did you notice anyone behaving oddly around Incana?"

Jon Miller · August 8, 2003, 15:18

(that is a strange way of saying it btw, your race is acting like your region, there is no shield dwarf region)

She turns to look at Bandar, "Yes, but a key point is that I don't have a clue where it is at, no one is really even sure who all the participants were, it was somewhat of an open party."

Hot Mustard · August 8, 2003, 15:22

"Would there by chance be any more such open parties coming up? Perhaps we could attend and scope about, both for someone wearing their new trophy, and for suspicious characters looking to make off with discarded baubles."

Jon Miller · August 8, 2003, 15:23

"I am sorry, I don't actually remember much of the party, and what I do remember is a blur. I think though that I get along with all of my freinds though."

Tarna than asks, "Why did you decide to take the broach from your father for this particular party? Is that standard practice for you? If it is, maybe your father knows that you are the person at fault for it missing."

Harry Seldon · August 8, 2003, 15:24

[OOC] Not sure what the region name is but I figured other characters would know. :shrugs:

[/OOC]

"M' axe is the best interrogator I know." After a dramatic pause, Bandar again laughs. It is difficult to tell if he's kidding.

Hot Mustard · August 8, 2003, 15:26

"That's great, Bandar, but I think we want to avoid any unfortunate AXEcidents." says Rags with wry grin.

Harry Seldon · August 8, 2003, 15:32

"But it wouldn't be an accident." Bandar looks confused. "Tis hard to accidentally interrogate someone, plus I've a good success rate; only lose 30%. If your not interested, we'll do it your way." Bandar appears to lose interest again.

Jon Miller · August 8, 2003, 16:17

"There was suppose to be a dreamy elf, by the name of Suthic Coreen, there and I was hoping to catch his eye." she says, in reply to Tarna.

Incana than begins to relate the directions to get to Panath's house. Since this is late, while you were eating the other patrons have mostly left and there are not many people left there. One of the older maids who has just hustled a very drunk party of dwarfs out of the tavern now starts in your direction. Incana looks arround and says "Oh, it is midnight and I need to get back. Maybe you can look at some of the shadier areas and see if someone is trying to fence it." She turns to Ostler, "Meet tomorrow at the same time and place? Oh, about an award, I will give you anything I have, well anything but my Lona." "My lute", she says with a grin.

With that she gets up and leaves, with a sort of rush.

Tarna turns to Ostler "I am not sure if I would be any help in your party, but maybe I could be some help. I really liked the song you played earlier", she says with a smile.

Felch · August 8, 2003, 18:46

Well, as my pappy always said, "The more the merrier, so long as they're not the city watch."

Felch · August 8, 2003, 19:34

I'm going to ee what sort of information I can dredge up tonight, and I'll get back to you all.

(OOC: How are we going to handle this?)

Jon Miller · August 8, 2003, 19:38

(yah, the party needs to figure out what they want to do, and yah Felch, you have more information (and more speicific) that you can ask me)

The Mad Monk · August 9, 2003, 00:59

While the conversation has been going on, I "casually" look around from where I sit, and see if anyone is taking special notice of Incana.

Jon Miller · August 9, 2003, 01:13

You take a look arround and notice the people leaving. You don't really notice anyone watching you (Spot 15).

Hot Mustard · August 9, 2003, 07:13

* Rags looks as though he was going to ask Incana another question, but shrugs and polishes off his ale

"Well, we don't have a lot to go on right now, do we? I suggest we see if Miss Incana can unwittingly provide any more information or leads. I am going to follow her home - anyone care to tag along?", says Rags as he stands up.

The Mad Monk · August 9, 2003, 15:03

Sure, why not?

Tarna looks at the rest, "Well, if your plan takes much more time tonight count me out, I am going to rest first, I am [yawn] tired. I think that I will purchase a room at the Stubborn Donkey Inn."

(sorry, I left for gettysburg at 7 this morning)

(do you all need a description of waterdeep?)

(edit: to change name of inn)

Jon Miller · August 10, 2003, 16:15

Rags and Morganna get up to leave, after depositing a couple silvers a peice on the table.

Tarna says "Why don't we use the Stubborn Donkey as a base, do you guys want me to get a room or two for you also?"

(I can go back and change things later)

Felch · August 10, 2003, 18:49

(Okay, so to recap folks, we've got a missing brooch that we need to find. Me and the elf babe met a midget sorcerer named Rags, he was cool with the whole search. Then a chick with green hair named Tarna was down with it, and then another short smelly guy named Bandar showed up. Once everybody is chilling and eating, Incana starts telling about the brooch.

She lost it at a party and needs it found quick and on the down low. She was at a party at the house of Panath, in North Ward, while she was hanging out. People who saw the emerald brooch liked it, but she doesn't know who could have taken it.

A woman named Morganna showed up at this point and joined the party. Further questions led to the conclusion that searching at Pernath's is not a viable option, and we need to poke around to find the brooch. We split up and will meet the same place the next evening at seven.

Is that all the important stuff or did I miss anything?)

Harry Seldon · August 11, 2003, 08:44

Bandar drops a couple of coppers on the table to pay for his ale. "Aye, I'll need a room. M' information gatherin skills leave a bit to be desired unless I can use m' axe."

Harry Seldon · August 11, 2003, 08:53

"Actually, I've changed m' mind. I may be needin some new weapons in the future so I may just wander on down to shops and see if anybody's open and dealin."

Hot Mustard · August 11, 2003, 09:37

[OOC]
Upon exiting the tavern, if Rags can still see Incana walking away, then he'll start to follow her from a distance. If it is not possible to follow safely (without being seen or too obvious to passers-by), then he may cast Change Self.

If she is already lost from sight, then he'll go to the Stubborn Donkey with Tarna and get a room for the night.
[/OOC]

Jon Miller · August 11, 2003, 10:00

(Tarna have copper hair

Bandar heads towards the trade ward)

The Mad Monk · August 11, 2003, 10:09

Morganna asks Tarna to take her backpack, then follows Rags out, trailing by some fifty feet; she trys to be as unremarkable as possible.
