Act 5 - Revenge of the Kobold King

[Eilandor]

Braedon stays in the background as Celevan opens a dialogue with Adran. He studies the man and his mannerisms all the while trying not to make it seem obvious.

Sense Motive during conversation with Adran

[Vardaen]

"So its true? That son of a bitch is dead? Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy." He grunts and sucks in on his cigar. Then he lifts a boot and puts it on a chair, leans forward and braces on his knee. "Calfious? He have something to do with it? That's rather unexpected. He was a lumberjack, did his work, paid his bill here, spent his money on whores and beer. I liked him!" Standing up he paces a few steps, "He's gone however, if you are looking for him. Cleaned his room out last night and left in the wee hours. Haven't seen him since. Paid his tab with me so didn't ask no questions."

[Trogdor]

"Yea," Celevan confirms. "Payday is dead. Poisoned. We think Calfious was complicit in the murder to get enough money so he and his woman could run off together." Celevan nods his head toward the rooms. "You mind if we look over his room to see if he left anything behind that might help us with our investigation.

[Eilandor]

Braedon chuckles at Adran's comments regarding whores and beer then gives Dreams a sideways glance, half expecting her to pierce him with a stare of disgust.

[Vardaen]

Adran shrugs, "I already rented out his room, but you can have a look if you want. Not sure what's what in there. When I cleaned up for the new guy I didn't find anything interesting." He takes you down the hall and to a room. Knocking he double checks no one is inside, and then opens the door.

Its a simple room, bed, a chair, small table with a wash basin. Has a nice deer skin rug on the floor, and a few mounted fish on the wall, with a shuttered window, but no fireplace of its own. A rucksack is tossed in one corner, and the bed is neatly maid, but looks like someone sat on it to test it out but got up rather quickly.

[Eilandor]

Braedon looks around the room for a bit, then his eyes fixate upon the deer skin rug. "Nah..." He kneels down, grabs the edge of it and lifts to see if there is anything underneath.

[Vardaen]

Other than some dirt and mud stains there isn't anything to note under the rug.

[Muskrat]

Dreams asks Adran, "When you spoke with Calfious or heard him talking with your other tenants, did you hear anything that might make you think he'd run off to a particular place? Any place he had fond memories or some place he'd always wanted to visit or settle down?" As he answers, Dreams studies Adran, trying to tell if he's concealing anything to protect Calfious.

Sense Motive

[Vardaen]

"I never heard him mention wanting to to the Pit, or to Malakim if that's what you're asking. Like most I think he mentioned Icitia, any place south and warm, with lots of beer and women. Most Jacks that come through think its so great in the south, but they don't really know. Some are from there granted, but Calfious? I don't recall him talking too much about going anyplace in particular. Honestly didn't think he'd had enough coin for it. Spent all his money on women and wine, but always paid his debts to me so I didn't stick my nose in other people's business."

GM

Sense motives are all coming up sincere.

[Trogdor]

Celevan nods. "Well, we don't expect to ever see him back in Falcon's Hollow. But if he should show his face here, or if you remember anything that might be helpful, please let us or Sheriff Baleson know."
