An hour ticks by and then a man comes walking in to the bar and starts speaking to the bartender and another man from the gambling hall.
after a few moments... the bartender points to your general direction. This man looks over, somewhat quickly and then resumes talking to the bartender and the pit boss. After what seems an interminable amount of time, he walks over to your table. He has two rather large men that stay a few feet behind him.
"I am Abu-Saed Fadlala, Faid told me that you wished to discuss some business?"
Elliot sees Fadlala enter and the exchange between him and the bartender.
He finishes the last sip of his drink as Fadlala approaches and sets his empty glass down upon the table.
When Fadlala speaks to him, Elliot stands somewhat nervously.
He begins to offer a handshake, but unsure of himself, he retracts it and instead offers a short bow.
"Mr. Fadlala, My name is Elliot Martin. Thank you for meeting with me. I- well, that is to say, my friends and I, we came to see you on the request of Mr. Norris."
He looks around quickly, hoping to spot his companions in the crowd.
He continues..
"I'm sure they're around here somewhere.."
He looks around once again.
"Anyway sir, Mr. Norris entrusted to us s a piece of antiquity, and said you were just the knowledgeable man who may be able to identify it for us.. for an appropriate fee, of course."
He smiles and attempts to be cordial.
(Diplomacy check: 1d20 = 19, just in case that helps the situation)
"Is there perhaps somewhere private we might go to discuss the matter?"
