Dialogue

The Hidden Lord

Trying to figure out who poisoned Lady Arabelle, you head over to Bayside Artisans to speak with Philian to see who purchased the wine used in the assassination attempt:

"Welcome to Ashcroft's Fine Goods and Imports! I am Philian Ashcroft, proprietor and expert on all things luxurious and exquisite. What might I help you with today?"

This bottle of wine. Do you recognize it?

"Hmm, let me see. Yes, a fine vintage. Very fine indeed. I may have sold a bottle or two recently, but I don't make a habit of discussing my client's orders.
What is this about, if I may be so bold?"

Lady Arabelle received this bottle as a gift, but the wine inside was poisoned.

"What? I had no idea! Lady Arabelle is one of my best customers!
I swear on my reputation, that wine left this shop unaltered. In fact, I only made one sale that included this particular vintage recently. It was a rather large order, in fact."

Who placed the order?

"Oh, this is awkward. Castle Navire's seneschal placed the order. Claimed he needed to replenish the cellars for Duchess Elea and demanded I sell back the wine I had purchased from them. That exact vintage to be precise.
You'll want to talk to them."

Speaking to him again:

"I do hope Lady Arabelle will be all right. I must send her a gift with my condolences. No wine, of course. Or anything that requires either eating or drinking. Perhaps a nice book …."
