Treev puts one hand out on the bar, he's got a big heavy coin in it, he's nervously tapping it. (few knocks on wood) TALIESIN: We think we know who did it. In fact, we are near positive we know who did it. MATT: You hear (door closing) as the door of the tavern closes and all the patrons you saw are now standing up completely sober and they're all taking a circle to the outside of your group. He's leaning forward, going, "All right, so you're clever. You came looking for the mistress, she "suddenly winds up dead.
You found her body." TALIESIN: And we tell you this as opposed to leaving. LAURA: We had nothing to do with it. We could've left town. MARISHA: Clearly we know how this looks, which is why we came to you first. TALIESIN: We are desperate in finding who did this. LIAM: What's the hooded figure doing right now? MATT: Still sitting in the back of that shadowed alcove between a bunch of barrels that are stacked and part of the bar side. LIAM: I'm going to keep focused there. TRAVIS: Is he still tapping the coin? MATT: No, the coin tapping has stopped. MARISHA: And what are the people around us doing? Are they, like, drawing their weapons? MATT: No. MARISHA: Do they seem armed? MATT: Do you take a look around? MARISHA: I want to just glance. TRAVIS: I take a very blatant look around. MATT: Okay. None of them appear to be armed, but they're all looking very closely upon you. You can make a perception check, Keyleth and Grog, if you'd like. TRAVIS: 13. MARISHA: Not bad. TRAVIS: There is a ceiling. MARISHA: Straight perception? 25. MATT: Okay. Yeah, you see them staring. They look pretty normal. TRAVIS: They look pretty. MATT: You do notice, what you didn't quite notice before, when you first entered, but a lot of these tables have like small cubbies on the edges, and each one of them are standing very close to one. One you see a little bit of a pommel that is barely poking out and they're all at the ready. This tavern definitely is-- Mercenary band uses this tavern as their base of operation and has definitely seemingly outfitted it to be functionally good place for mercenaries when they need to be. MARISHA: I look down in front of me. Is there any hidden cubbies in the table that we are at? MATT: That you are at? MARISHA: Yeah. MATT: You have to get down to really inspect. You want to do that? MARISHA: No. MATT: Okay. At initial glance you don't see anything, because everything is close to you, it's from a top-down perspective and you're blocked from seeing anything beneath. TALIESIN: For what it's worth, we will not draw first. We want to find her. Have any of your people seen a woman with one metal arm? She's so dangerous and now so much more dangerous. MATT: He goes ahead and puts his finger up this way and marks this direction. The figure that you're watching, Vax, steps out from the shadow and walks very calmly across the room, through all of you right to the edge of the bar by the door and goes-- not breaking eye contact with you, speaks out of the side of his mouth, Treev goes, "Go ahead and check their story. See her abode. We're "all going to wait here nice and patiently together until we figure out what the fuck is going on." TRAVIS: Makes sense. Do you have any mead? MATT: "We got mead." TALIESIN: In the meantime, I'd like to at least to start to tell you what we need next, for when our story is confirmed. MATT: "Well, you've certainly got a captive audience, so go ahead." TALIESIN: This woman has been tracking us. She placed a mystical tracker upon us at some point. We've just discovered it and we need to find a way to move it away and put it somewhere she does not suspect that we know that she placed it and does not see us coming when it's time for us to kill her. MATT: "So you're saying this woman that you're chasing is the one that killed the mistress?" TALIESIN: Yes. We believe so. LAURA: Your mistress has-- had a very powerful item on her. It's why we sought her out as well. MATT: "More so blinded-sided at the idea that the mistress was felled by someone. She could take "care of herself and has for quite some time." LAURA: From what I could see, her attackers were not alone. There were five of them. LIAM: They had an unfair advantage. MATT: "Five of them and a woman, you say?" His eyes narrow for a second. "Describe this woman." SAM: She disguises her appearance, so how we know her might not be how you have seen her. She has sometimes shown herself as an old woman. MATT: "Old woman?" And he starts describing. "Sort of a spindly gray-blonde hair, tumbles past the "shoulders, piercing blue-ish green eyes." TALIESIN: Always piercing eyes.
