I believe he was at the table when I asked him the question. The intent was to discern lie on his answer to the question.

Norris hasn't left yet, we all interrupted him from leaving and he remained and continued to speak, if I am following the thread so far.
That was my impression as well.

"You should arrive there in the evening, tomorrow night. I have set aside a car for you. Just tell them at the door that you are there to see Mr. Fadlala and were sent by Mr. Norris. That should get you in the door and he will speak to you after that. I doubt that I need to say this but, remember to be discreet. Fadlala has been known to play both sides in any situation. I will have the 2000 pounds at your disposal as well.

What was his answer to the question?!?!?
"Quite happy to assist the OMP once again, Sir Norris. What can you tell us of this contact, and the misunderstanding between you? "

JT scratches his beard, "Hmmm.... then are we going to potentially 'ave a conflict of interest with this map as well? What if Fadlah sees the map, it piques his interest and then he feeds us mis-information so he can pursue it 'imself. Especially if he knows this map is coming from you and the OMP, he may deceive us intentionally for his own gain or just as revenge over the previous artifact."
JT looks at Elliot, "I still think your plan is wise, especially given this new information. 'owever, I think it needs to be amended so that someone keen at discerning lies accompanies you. I thought maybe mistress Ormande, but, hehe, she is incapacitated. Anyone else keen at sensing motives?"

"It is unlikely that this map is known to anyone but the Circle and those present here. I was the one who actually found that fragment, there is only one other OMP member in Alexandria right now... and he's a bit too high profile to involve himself in this directly. I find it HIGHLY unlikely that Fadlala would be involved with them. He's far too greedy and not known to work with terrorists or other assassin types."

"Having the famousJim Corbett with us may prove fortuitous. His presence may negate the need for any explanation of why we want information about the map, as it's well known that he is an avid hunter and adventurer. Mr. Fadlala may just assume we're tracking some beast or legend with him."

CRIII listens for tidbits: sometimes the servants dicuss unusual guests, strange occurrences, the habbits of the household and masters... An overly descreet staff is equally informative.
An old cellar? He listens intently, understanding the words fluently if not the meaning.

Elliot heard a rumor some time ago that a pack of were-tigers had declared a fatwa on the legendary Jim Corbett..
That's a story he'd like to hear!

The hearty group of adventurers reassembles at Sir Norris's home the next afternoon. Ibrahim, Norris's butler is waiting for you in the parlor...
"Mr. Norris has been unexpectedly called away on urgent business." (no trace of accent BTW).
"He has left the keys for the Isotta and this envelope containing the agreed upon funds." He also hands you a small piece of paper.. "this is the address of the Blue Parrot in Cairo and another address for one of the better hotels in the city should you need it."
The car in question is sitting in the driveway, which he leads you to.

"Nice wheels!" Olivia says, excited. "I'm happy to drive."
Ride skill covers Drive, right? She's got a 6 in Ride skill.
While filing her nails and chewing some gum, Olivia nonchalantly opens the car door with her hair and gets in.

From the skill mod. page... you might not have seen this:
New Class skills:
Pilot - allows for the driving or piloting of vehicles (boats, planes cars) in any way other than just normal transportation. Checks will be similar to Ride checks (DC Chart to follow). Those who start with the class skill - Ride also count Pilot as a Class Skill
If you want, you can mod your skills with that.
As a matter of fact, everyone should give a quick check to characters and make sure all skills, gear, magic, stuff, etc., is all taken care of. I won't really allow any more changes unless it's absolutely justifiable.

A very heavily armed JT is ready to rumble. "Oy, no smokin in the coach, aw'right?" JT reveals several sticks of TNT and plenty of explosive materials, along with multiple guns and bullets.

Elliot takes the envelope of cash from Ibrahim (unless someone else already stated that action and I missed it) and folds it securely into his breast pocket.
He loads his packed rucksack with bedroll attached and the plain wooden case containing his rifle in the trunk and gets in the rear seat of the automobile.
"Nifty ride.." He mumbles to himself.
He's wearing all of his AC items, with his pistol belt, bayonet, and Colt .45 concealed under his battered overcoat.
His pistol has a full magazine plus another round chambered.

Olivia looks in the rear-view mirror. Her eyes meet with CRIII, and they have a knowing glance. Then she informs the others: "Looks like we're being followed. There's a blue sedan, about a half-mile behind us. Been following the last half of the journey to the city."
She grips the wheel with her hands and steps on the gas. Using her hair, she shifts into high gear. The car roars ahead on the open desert road. "Should we try to lose it, or hide?" she asks loudly, against the breeze. "We could wait and an ambush for them too. If we do that, we should probably do it outside of town."

"Everyone, be on the lookout!" Olivia says with a smile. The car rolls down the road, picking up speed. She won't be taking the most direct route, now that she thinks they're followed. Try to lose their tail.
Is there a side road into town? She will try to take that instead, and motion for CR3 to follow.
Also still looking for a place to potentially hide/ambush too. Like, any high ground or tall buildings, or brush.
