— Earspoon when asked about Nine-Fingers

History

According to Wyrm's Rock Prison's Prison Log, Earspoon was previously arrested for indecent exposure but was released by Enver Gortash.

Involvement

Earspoon can be found whispering to Borgus in the rear of Sharess' Caress. Approaching them triggers a passive DC 15 History check (with Rogues and Baldurians having advantage) and a DC 10 Deception check or DC 15 Perception check to determine they are talking about Nine-Fingers Keene. The party can then ask Earspoon where Nine-Fingers is by passing one of the ability checks:

• [PERSUASION] Come on, level with me. I'm not about to sell out another dwarf. (DC 15)
• [PERSUASION] I bet a few coins would loosen your tongue. (DC 15)
• [ROGUE] [PERSUASION] I'm looking to join the Guild. How about you point me the way? (DC 18 )
• [FIGHTER] [PERSUASION] I need work, and it sounds like Nine-Fingers needs steel.  (DC 18 )
• [DETECT THOUGHTS] [WISDOM] Read the dwarf's mind.
  • I need to talk to Nine-Fingers about Zenovia.
