	The party began splitting up to sort out their situation. Victoria was helping the L'Rose family, and Marita had decided to accompany Kathryn to the public house. Bringing up that it's not a good idea for anyone in the party to go alone, Kathryn appreciated the backup. The biggest worry Kathryn had about pairing up with Marita Bärbel was that the woman had a very strict all business way to go about her... well Business. Though Kathryn respected the woman for that regard she had to admit, that level of professionalism was not something Kathryn was used too. But in that same regard, Kathryn wasn't used to traditional investigation work. Most of what she knew she picked up from Ser Lucas and his drinking buddies. Which consisted of drunken ramblings at best. 

	The public house was a chaotic yet appealing situation. The downside to the situation was that it took Kathryn a rather long time to find Robert. And worse yet with how busy things were it would take several moments to not only get the man's attention, but to get the man into conversation. Looking around the only other set of hands on deck was this poor woman who was working her damnedest to keep things on her end held together. "[color=598527]Hi uh, Robert right? We met briefly while helping Ms. L'Rose drop off her casket of wine. I wondering if I could ask you some questions? You see I was hired to help handle the goblin problem and after witnessing the events of today I was wondering if Audrey's disappearance had something to do with my current job.[/color]" 

	Roberts sneering face gave Kathryn uneasy feelings about the situation. His reply didn't help matters either. [color=darkgray]"Audrey? Girl has a mouth on her. The last time anyone saw that ungrateful wench was [i]after[/i] she left here for the night. I haven't seen her in this pub since. You want to chase Goblins? Fine. You want to stay here while you do it, you'd better be spending money."[/color] The man clearly had a poor opinion of the woman. Kathryn took a few things from his statement though, she talks a lot, maybe the disappearances are witnesses to something? And her last sighting was after her shift, hopefully meaning that the window she went missing was rather small. Either way, there was a witness. 

	Kathryn pulled out two silver pieces. "[color=598527]Okay then. The biggest beer two silver can buy.[/color]" An idea struck Kathryn, maybe one that could peak the barkeep. And one where even if it did work, having someone sober to make sure things didn't get out of hand was a good idea. The idea as a whole was rather flimsy, but it was one of Kathryn's strong suits. "[color=598527]Here's a proposition for you. A drinking contest. No one spends more then a drunk man trying to get a free drink.[/color]" She thought back on the wording, and realized it made no sense. "[color=598527]Let me rephrase. I'll challenge anyone here to a drinking contest, the loser pays the winner's tab. That'll make some decent coin no?[/color]" Kathryn thought about how to make this work. "[color=598527]Enough to hopefully buy a moment of your time hopefully?[/color]" She could take a drink better then most, so if she got a couple free drinks and some useful information it sounded like a pretty good win. "[color=598527]Drunk men enjoy a good gamble. What better then a good drinking match?[/color]" The man spoke one language. Money, Kathryn's budget for bribery was limited, but a chance to make some good business? She could offer that.
