sense motive check on Creulean remark to eric ( +2 negotiator , +4 wis)

edno takes a seat by the bar, listening to the conversations. he asks for a cup of water, but pays for a pint of ale. "keep the change"

after that he takes a long look at the eye (spot check, untrained wis +4)
"i wonder if someone is watching" he says to himself.

((edited for chronology))

Edno Checks Creualena's motive and looks at the Big Eye. (1d20+6=14, 1d20+4=14)

Crulean's Bluff Check (Don't recall an innuendo skill in 3.5, so I'm using bluff):

Bluff, Bluff, Bluff, Bluff the silly alchemist-charlatan. (1d20+5=9)

His innuendo is transparent:
They serve both Unliscensed and Half-bloods. He also suspects Eric of being unliscned. The serving of such folk is obviously kept on the DL.

Eric storms off, seemingly mortally offended by the insult of the barkeep, and goes to sit a table.

((didn't notice the second page, oops. Rolled a 10 untrained for my sense motive http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1225331))

I also pass him a silver coin and a piece of paper thanking him using sleight of hand. 1d20+12=17 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1225350

((Of course this assumes that I think he means me well. If not, then I don't give him the note and coin. I feel stupid but what's DL mean?))

You understand what he bartender means, as the statement was clearly intended for you, you gain a +2 on the SM check.

To answer your question: DL means "Down Low"

The bartender hrumphs at the the trveling fighter, beckons the serving boy to appoach, and pours a pint of ale, directing serving boy to deliver it to the alchemist.

((Private message sent.))

edno, after all has calmed down, decides this is the time to act as no more surprises are expected.
he asks for a word with the barkeeper, and once he is close edno signals him to lend him his ear "i too am looking for The Frozen Moon"

is that all you can tell me of him?
(diplomacy(?) negotiator +2, charisma +1)

"Thats all I know."

<Hes lying - kinda>

(Sorry I've been away, couldn't get hold of a comp yesterday.)

Kaldan, watching the exchanges, also takes a seat at the bar. He signals for the bartender.
"I was told to meet someone here. Someone in white, winter clothes. You wouldn't happen to know where I could find him, would you?" He asks, and orders an ale.

"Ol' Jakob has been busy, I see - He ain't here"
Cruelean see,s to be getting rather annoyed.

"So where would he be?" Kaldan asks, "I need to find him, as do these others apparently. I would be quite grateful for the information...possibly grateful enough to give a hefty reward..." He reaches into his vest and pulls out a small leather pouch, which he places on the counter. It *clinks*.

Bell's Diplomacy Roll +2 for the small amount of cash. (1d20+7=20)

"Me thinks I can arrange something - how do you know 'im?"

"Oh, ol' Jakob and I have been friends for some time. I heard he was in town, so I came down to see if I could find him."

(Bluff +8)

----- Wow. Lucky roll for you - on Cruelean's End

"Oh, hes behind his sign, as always."
Crulean looks around the room, and relises he spoke out loud.
"Er- Closin' Time - you four -"He points at Edno, Kaldan, Eric and the rogue. (forgot your name, sorry)
"Stay here."

The other patrons begin to shuffle out, as soon as the last one leaves, the man with the rapier slides inside.

"You couldn't fnd off their inquiries, could you, Cruelean?" He asks in a rather feminnine voice.
"Lemme Guess - Jakob?"

Kaldan looks at the eye. "Hmmm..."

(Spot +0)

- Note the lack of dice being rolled -

the painted eye looks strangely like a painted eye. Its an odd quality for painted eyes to have, I know, but that is EXACTLY what it looks like.

To answer a question in PM, yes, everyone leaves, including the Illumians. They may or may not have been included for flavor or as red herrings.

The bouncer makes some innane crack about "The forest for the trees" in what is (still) a decidedly feminine voice.

"Jen is right. You people are so close, and yet so far"

(spot check vs disguise +4 wis, is the doorkeeper female and wearing a disguise/makeup/wig?)
edno turns to Cruelean:
i suppose were not here to play games?

Grath tries to intimidate Cruelean

"Tell me what is going on here, now!"

(+6 for ranks)

1d20=1

(Man that was a crappy roll!)
