"*hic* Yer all my friendsh! *hic* Barman, one ournd for all my firendsh in thish hear eshtabublishment!"

Make use of our friend's generosity.

"...insolent kids, always picking my pockets! If I see their stupid scarves again, I'll call the captain of the guard on them!"

We should saunter over with our free drink and say that we're "terribly sorry about eavesdropping, but did you just mention stupid scarves? Because you're in luck, I'm looking to punish some insolent kids with stupid scarves." So begins our Investigation.

"Haro! Haro! Haro! À l'aide, mon prince! On me fait tort! Haro! Haro! Haro!"

Listen to this

"I heard the Earl of Grey's messengers were in town yesterday. Strange fellows."

I3
"...why the roads aren't safe. I don't know why the local lords aren't sending out more patrols. I'm sure we'll beat Corvid's crowards in one or two months tops. Surely they can't be that hard to..."

"...insolent kids, always picking my pockets! If I see their stupid scarves again, I'll call the captain of the guard on them!"

Investigate these conversations in order from I1 to I2 to I3

"...so anyway, I took the frogs--because it was a legal deal and I wanted everything above the board, see--only to be duped by Honest Dave again! They were leaf dolls! A cart full of leaf dolls! Could you imagine? Leaf dolls in..."

"...of which is on this here map. No cuts, no invisible ink, no funny business or your money back guaranteed. So what do you say? 900 to Honest Dave and I'll even throw in my secret metal-detecting stick no extra charge! Don't wait! Treasure maps have a...regrettable tendency to get sliced up and sold separately in these here parts..."

SEE IF WE CAN GET THESE TWO FINE GENTLECHICKENS TOGETHER TO SPEAK ABOUT MAPS AND LEAF FROG DOLLS.

Bawwwk?  BA-KAWWWK! Bawk-bawk. Bawk. Kawk. Ba-kawk!

[Kilojoule Proton]

Eldritch Victim: "...insolent kids, always picking my pockets! If I see their stupid scarves again, I'll call the captain of the guard on them!"
Our Best Friend: "*hic* Yer all my friendsh! *hic* Barman, one ournd for all my firendsh in thish hear eshtabublishment!"
(Chicken Knight continues listening in on the tavern chatter)
(Bartender Bob and Bartender Barbara give various patrons (including Chicken Knight and Eldritch Victim) their drinks)
(Chicken Knight saunters over to the Eldritch Victim's table with a free drink)
Chicken Knight: "Terribly sorry about eavesdropping, but did you mention stupid scarves? Because y--"
Eldritch Victim: (Furious) "You! You're wearing one of those stupid scarves! You're one of them!"
Eldritch Victim: (Shouting) "Thief! Thief!"
Chicken Knight: "Gotta go!"
(Chicken Knight scurries off to another table as Bill the Bouncer lands next to the Eldritch Victim)
Eldritch Victim: (Pointing at Honest Dave's table) "Coward went that way!"

Cheated Smuggler: "...so anyway, I took the frogs--because it was a legal deal and I wanted everything above the board, see--only to be duped by Honest Dave again! They were leaf dolls! A cart full of leaf dolls! Could you imagine? Leaf dolls in..."
(Chicken Knight shows up after running from Eldritch Victim's table)
Chicken Knight: "Say, that table over there seems to be discussing treasure maps! Maybe that would help you recoup your losses?"
Cheated Smuggler: "Honest Dave? Here? Why, I'll punch that lying son of a larch!"
(Cheated Smuggler storms off to Honest Dave's table and gets winds up a nasty punch)
Honest Dave: "...of which is on this here map. No cuts, no invisible ink, no funny business or your money back guaranteed. So what do you say? 900 to Honest Dave and I'll even throw in my secret metal-detecting stick no extra charge! Don't wait! Treasure maps have a...regrettable tendency to get sliced up and sold separately in these here parts. Oh, hello! I don't suppose you would be interested in trea--oww!"
(Bill the Bouncer leaps into the scene)
Cheated Smuggler: (Shouting) "This is for the 'frogs!'"
Bill the Bouncer: "NO FIGHTING IN BAR. OUT!"
(Bill the Bouncer carries Honest Dave and the Cheated Smuggler out of the tavern)

Dashing Drinker: "Haro! Haro! Haro! À l'aide, mon prince! On me fait tort! Haro! Haro! Haro!"
(Bartender Bob serves the last of the drinks Our Best Friend ordered for everyone)
Bartender Bob: "You haven't paid for your room or your drinks for the last month! Your little prance isn't dumb enough to set little old you free just for being family! You just wait and see!
Dashing Drinker: "Père de maï--"
(Dashing Drinker is cut off by Gobbling Guard getting up from his table behind Bartender Bob and Dashing Drinker)
Gobbling Guard: "gbl gbl What's all this then? Off to the prince's court with both of you gbl!"
Bartender Bob: "Barbara, you know the deal."
Bartender Barbara: (Sighing) "Of course. Close on time, bring in the cleaning crew, restock the ales, and lock the door before leaving."
(Gobbling Guard drags Bartender Bob and Dashing Drinker offstage)

Oh dear. You may have to chase the Eldritch Victim down outside the tavern to find out more about what's going on to salvage this. What would you like to do next? You could always try one of the other leads, of course...

[Maximum Spin]

Stow scarf, retriangulate Eldritch Victim. If pressed, insist scarf was a drunken hallucination all along.

+1 Yes play it off as him being INSANE!

[VoidSlayer]

Wow, made a right mess of that.  Almost like we were directing him to be an agent of chaos.

Anyway yes let us chase down the victim and not talk about scarves unless he brings them up first.

[A_Curious_Cat]

Bawk?

[Naturegirl1999]

Upon catching up with the one who got stolen from, ask if the scarves worn by the thieves were green

[Stirk]

Question ourselves, as we now know we where actually a member of the gang all along!

no, a gang member wouldn’t bother with knightly training

[Maximum Spin]

ARE we the gang? Inspect companions for scarves.
