After the halfling leaves, I decide to come clean with Sundown. He clearly doesn't think very highly of the Shades, so it's HOPEFULLY unlikely that he'll turn me into them. And, most importantly, he's probably the only one able to help me find Jon.
I tell him everything, leaving nothing out. When I finish, I wait for him to respond before making any requests.

@Sinead-
"I see....
So you're lookin for a bit of help from Papa sundown is it? Well...you gotta give a little to get a little. An' my price is a taste of you..." He says with a hint of menace and perversion.
"Upstairs is a room with a pair of snakes twisting around painted on the door. Meet me there in ten minutes; Alone!"

She scoffs, amused at the bartender's words. "Believe me, my au naturale would draw even more attention." She says, taking a draw from her elven wine. "I'm here with a friend. She said she wanted to find someone called Midnight Owl. She's sort of in a bad way, it seems."

A few people stare directly at you after you say that name. The bartender leans in, "You should be careful about that name my friend. Sundown doesn't like Mid....him. His name is rather taboo because of that."

Allexa glances at the few people who decided to turn their attention to her. "Well then," she says slowly, leaning in toward the faceless man, "I don't suppose a bartender's ear might of caught information on how to find someone that Sundown doesn't like?"

Diplomacy Success-
"I don't know much, but I do know The Old Man is one of Sundown's oldest friends. He lives in a run down rusty shack just down the street, can't miss it. He's just as much a legend as sundown himself but for a different reason. He is a deathless and a rather powerful warlock, someone you don't wanna piss off.
No one here, including sundown, will tell you about the Midnight Owl either because they won't or can't. But if anyone can and potentially will, it's The Old Man.
Anyway, I have to get back to work, it was a pleasure talking to you."

"Pleasure's all mine." Allexa says as she finishes off her wine, setting it on the bar top once more along with payment for the wine plus a moderately generous tip as she stands up and turns to find Sinead once more.
"Sinnie?" She said, then suddenly realizing she might not recognize her added "It's me, Allexa. I think I might've found a lead on Mi—that person you were looking for."

He slowly closes the door then turns back to the man.

Right Speech has four aspects: 1. Not lying, but speaking the truth, 2. Avoiding rude and coarse words, but using gentle speech beneficial to the listener, 3. Not slandering, but promoting friendliness and unity, 4. Avoiding frivolous speech, but saying only what is appropriate and beneficial.
Gu'dan gave a hesitant nod toward the beast at the doorway as he made his way inside. The sights, sounds and smells of the establishment were quite overwhelming and Gu'dan thought to himself he'd rather make haste and get out of here. Gu'dan heads toward the bar anxiously feeling quite out of place. Coming upon a plain looking female woman standing at the bar he bows curtiousely, "Pardon me Lass." he says to her turning his attention to the bartender, shocked at first by the blankness of his face. "Goodsir, I be looking for the Midnight Owl. I was told he could be found here aye?
Hearing a scuffle in the back room, Gu'dans attention wanders a moment awaiting an answer from the bartender. (Listen= 1d20+2 Total = 16)

@Treblin OOC- Just as an FYI, the plain looking woman was Allexa's character who has since morphed her face into a pixie like appearance with raven black hair (which you saw), and has moved on to find her friend. So since you have a reference to the bartender, I'm going to go ahead and assume you're talking to the bartender only.
@Gu'Dan-
The bartender looks at you, or so you think considering the lack of facial features. "Seems like everyone wants to meet him today. That chick who changed her face, follow her, she might lead you to him."
@Jeronis-
You find nothing odd other than what's been described. You do however hear something odd, silence. On a night like this with no wind and no noise out in the streets, you'd think you'd hear this old man wheezing or at least breathing heavily considering what he looks like. You don't hear him breathing at all.
"Lamons Kitchy is dead," he says. "At least, if you're here, he should be dead if he's unable to bring me this." His eyes wander off to the room almost as if he's rolling them, "So many tiny ones snuffed out like a candle flame, such a joyous occasion.
BITCHES! I cannot apply the dividends!" He shouts, as if talking to no one. He looks back at you "Still here? Set the box down and take the payment. It's 30,000 gold, like always."

::30,000 gold? Is this man insane?::
The thought of himself with the finest magical gear and as mayor of a woodlands citadel crosses his mind as his eyes space out for a moment.
::Best not cause upset and act as if all is normal. This one is clearly a magical being::
The small figure walks deliberately forward. His usual unfortunate features are hidden in the shadow of his peaked hood and cape. The hood hides the play of fantasies and anticipation.
Placing the box down on the table the halfling looks for signs of payment. On a second thought the halfling glances at the bottles to see if there is something remarkable about them.
Appraise: roll (d20) 11 + 2 = 13
"Here you are sir", as he glances for a sign of such a high payment. Gems perhaps? :: What a fool I am to even hope ::
Edit: fixed error.

@Jeronis-
The table you set the vials down on is the same table as a box of platinum coins are sitting on. In fact, it's the same type of box even, but filled with coinage instead of beakers.
You deduce that the boxes are commonly swapped out, filling one with the vials, and the other with platinum.
Appraise Fail-
Unfortunately, not knowing the product itself, you have no way of knowing it's value.
As you switch them out, he looks at you with a grin, "You're a tiny man for an orc aren't you? Guess that's why you're sundown's little lapdog," he cackles a deep, long, almost moaning laugh. "But in darkness there's treasure not even a titan could see."

The greedy thought crosses his mind to mention a price increase. ::no I'm never a good talker. Better alive and meager than very rich and very dead::
"Unfortunately the only treasure I see is a few coins from er...... trading." he mentions and then his curiosity gets the better of him "of course I'm curious about these bottles. Whatz so special bout em?"
He picks up the box of coin. It feels quite heavy.

He quickly snatches the the box of poison. "This is MY box, my box is the best box!
No one can touch them, no one can know them. My box is the best box."
He continues muttering the phrase "My box" over and over again. You can tell he's no longer lucid.

The thought cross Jeronis mind ::what happened to kitchy? Sundown or this lune?::
Realizing that the benefits of information are dwarfed by the risk of hanging around a half dead or fully dead animate lunatic the halfling stiffly bows, "I'll be going", his better nature takes over "enjoy good sir" he partially lies.
Then walks out. He keeps his eyes and ears open as he makes his way back to sundown's and acts non-chalant with the hefty box of platinum.

Shile takes one step backwards and puts hee left index finger in her ear as if cleaning it.
"No, need to be rude mister"
Shile walks forward and stops next to the man.
"Beware the nightfall"
Shile then walks outs of the tavern and looks around for something to entretain her.

"I'm the afterhours king, I am the nightfall," he responds.
You leave the bar, and almost instantly run into the halfling from before.
@Jeronis-
You finish up your delivery and get out of there as quickly as possible, and on your way back, you run into the girl you first encountered.

Shile raises an eyebrow and looks down at Jeronis.
"make out? boss?"
She quietly stutters to herself trying to decipher those words.
"Oh, no I did not kiss your boss, he was rather rude and well here I am"
The shodowy female scratches her chin.
"I wonder what wonders he has in that basement..." Shile says ignoring the Halfling, only to realize that he is there a couple of seconds later.
"Oh, sorry I ramble, is not like I care"
What an obvious lie, it was...

"Shile...." the halfling frowns "how can I tell you this gently? The last guy who had my job is dead." He pauses for emphasis. "I wouldn't be surprised if his corpse is in the basement. Get it?"
