Turning around Roan saw a blond woman clad in red holding a spear, adorned with some red markings he couldn’t exactly distinguish the meaning from what he could see, eyeing him with obvious displeasure. Still, she didn’t seem ready to attack him so her curiosity of his task probably had to do with her ability to stand on the way. Considering how this interruption had made him lose the track of whoever he was after, Roan responded her question making sure to look at her on the same way.“I’m looking for something.”
Normally he would have left by now and started a new search all over the city. But whilst he prided himself on his tracking ability, all the failures he was obtaining on his exploration were enough to destroy any semblance of patience he could have had. Besides I doubt anyone would be foolish enough to follow me to this hellhole just to avenge some small-time bandit I killed many years ago.

Roan roamed for some time between the ever-moving mass of people, all the while on the lookout for any potential source of information about his elusive quarry. Soon this proved to be a fruitless enterprise and with a sigh he stopped near one of the many make shift poles adorning the festival to think of a better plan. Whilst grumbling about the situation he kept hearing random tidbits of information from the unconcerned passers-by. Ranging from inane comments like those about the weather to the slightly interesting, but useless to him, like those of enjoyment of the festival in honor of Desna.
“So that’s what this entire celebration is all about. Desna? Huh.” He said to himself in a hushed tone.”Ever since getting in this blasted city all I have been is unlucky.” Could this misfortune be a result of a bored deity divine will? Or is this because I hadn’t yet given my thanks for the ‘safe’ travel I had?” Roan thought bitterly, concluding the failure of his usual method of gathering information could only be caused by some external interference .As to him it was clear the gods mostly goad the mortals for their own selfish reasons, only aiding them when it advanced their own desires while pretending to care. Still this seemed too much for a simple ’offering’ he had postponed until he had finished his business on the city.
He then retrieved a single coin from his belongings and threw it upwards, while keeping his weapons at hand’s reach in case any pickpocket felt too courageous. Whilst staring at the coin he murmured “All of this for a single coin?” before throwing it upwards. The coin spun five times, seemingly ready to hit the ground, before he caught it. Glaring at the sky he attempted a last bargain.”If this was that important then it would already be yours if I had found anything about that damn Sandpoint Devil.” As he began to walk he moved his right hand towards his own face, before getting back on track. Am I that desperate, I’m speaking aloud to myself?
A few steps later he had the impression someone had spoken the name he sought and with renewed determination Roan darted in the probable direction it came from. Struggling to keep a steady pace, he waded through the gathered crowd until he bumped into a passerby as he was passing the corner of Raven Street. “Get out of the way.” He said before going back on his way, having apparently struck some blond woman. Though he couldn’t exactly say if this was right nor did he cared to, as his attention was focused on more important matters.

When I read the last post I thought her fix would be about their excitement towards butterflies.
Wonder if I should have Roan jump to defend the hunter profession or if it would be too contrived and wait the next GM post.
Edit: Thinking now at this stage of the rp it would be best to advance the plot.Could do that later anyway.

Does filtering truths/lies counts as general knowledge? I only now saw you need to be trained on the skill to use it for anything beyond that.
Roan left the tavern without any further word, the only change in his demeanor being his brow wrinkled in clear displeasure. As he arrived at the entrance he shook his head slightly as if intending to remove any remnant of the place stupidity from himself. After a groan he faced the street and, in return, was greeted by an unpleasant breeze that unceremoniously invaded his nostrils. With his lungs now full of the harbor’s stench he gave up on any further inquiry in this area of the city and began to move towards the ongoing town festivities at the town square. Nearing an ever increasing crowd, he hoped to find any concrete information about the Sandpoint Devil before he went back to the untamed wilds and to enjoy, for a little while, the wonders of civilization. On the way, while remembering all he had heard about the monster from his previous query, he tried to filter the obvious lies from the truth about his prey. But unable to find any plausibility on the wild claims he had heard, Roan kept walking, concluding that indeed all information up to that point had been a complete waste of time.
And there went half my post. I will try to write more on my later posts when there is more to respond to.
Should I roll for information gathering(and those 1d4 hours) or that would be detrimental at the start of the story?
Edit: Or consider he just failed his previous roll?

Can't we take 10 on some rolls?
Wait, we are, actually, going to start soon?
I believe this would be a reasonable basis for the crown value/weight:
Crown weight 3 lb (using the same weight of the crown of swords)
Edit: (Crown of blasting has 1 lb so there is a leeway with the weight)
