Raine surveys the scene at the tavern, wondering where that last tidbit of information she needs about the Beast's Lair might be hiding. Surely the Lair has many riches, and she wouldn't want a greedier Pupp to arrive there before herself. "Hm, I think I should check into an area others may not... would certainly give me an edge."
She considers perhaps the local farmers would be of aid, but overhears them more so speaking of the weather. Useful information for sure, but not exactly what she was hoping for. The rowdy crowd of Pupps in the corner seems a bit too loud for her liking as well. The adventuring party is a bit more hopeful, and the bard's song inviting, but she settles her gaze upon the old Tavern Keeper in the back.
Carefully padding her way through the crowd to the bar, she settles herself nicely on one of the stools closer to where the Keeper is polishing a piece of crystal stemware- Raine notices goblets galore, and more beyond that piece. He seems very busied.
Raine calls over to the Tavern Keeper politely, with a kind smile, and hopes that her hello will be warmly received as a way to enter into further conversation.
Raine would like to roll to have her greeting well received, hopefully leading to more fruitful conversation, using her Tail Stat!
As Raine notices, the Tavern Keeper is quite busy with all the dishes he has piled up...
Raine rolls a 3 +3 for a 6, failing!!
The bartender snorts, looking at Raine, "If you're lookin for information, I'll tell you what I told the last few adventurers, I'll be glad when all this nonsense is over, sure all you travelers have been paying for food and drinks here, but I appreciate the quiet in the village." He sighs a bit, despite his gruff demeanor, he lets up a bit, "Now, I won't hold it against you though miss, I can't say I know much about all this business, but I heard from some other adventurers that the old castle the beast has taken residence in doesn't have any obvious entrances, so maybe those old stone walls hold some secrets."
Raine is a bit embarrassed, faltering at the thought, but appreciates the Tavern Keeper still talking to her after her failed start to the conversation. Her mask falls a bit and her demeanor becomes a bit more sarcastic and relaxed in tone.
"Ah, I certainly do appreciate the tip. And I can't say I'm much for all the noise myself, I hope things return to normal soon for you all. Last thing anyone needs is a bunch of disruption, especially if they're making a mess..."
Raine startles, hearing a table flip at the other side of the Tavern. Her ears flatten, and the Tavern Keeper's face sours. "See miss, that's exactly what I'm talking about." he says. "I shouldn't keep your attention any longer it seems. I best be on my way...is there any way I could help though, before I leave? The least I could do for the information you gave me. Good turn deserves another and all that."
Raine at this point is playing with some of her tools in a back pocket, but certainly no one deserves a dagger to cut off a hanging wallet today. Still have to play nice out here in public, she thinks... even if some of these adventurers seem to have it coming.
She rolls again, using her Tail stat, to see if this can allow become a bit more friendly with the Tavern Keeper and if he'll accept her offer of aid.
(EDIT: I edited cause I goofed up the italics, nothing else changed ahaha)
The tavern keeper lays one of the tankards he was washing on a mat to dry, cringing slightly as he hears the table crash, though he continues to listen to Raine...
Raine rolls a 17 + 3, for a 20, succeeding!
"Well, thank you young lady, but that's not necessary," he replies, his expression softening, "It'll be alright, even with all the rowdiness, things aren't too out of hand." He chuckled a bit, watching as the dice playing pups started to scramble around to pick up their coins off the floor.
The tavern keeper snorted, "Well, if you'd really like to help, come and help me grab all these mugs for cleanin'." The tavern keeper steps out from behind the bar, gesturing for Raine to follow.
"Certainly, I'd be happy to help. Thank you again."
As my mother always told me, leaving a place better than you found it can only endear yourself to others... and that's a prize all its own. Never would know when you might need a contact. Raine smiled to herself at the thought.
She followed the tavern keeper and started to look for various mugs left unattended by their original loaners, spotting them at both tables near and far. This might take a little while, she thought.
She rolls using her Paw stat to see just how quick she can make this gathering job for the Tavern Keeper, as she did have a place to be on her quest. Hopefully faster than slower, for sure!
