The client interacts with a wooden mannequin and gives it the name of the person, business, or group it wants information on, what they want, and where to start looking if they can. The mannequin quotes a price. The client returns on the appointed trial at midnight to receive their information. The client then pays the mannequin.
(Neronin will Link to the Mannequin which will be a golem with a well to speak to clients through the thing. He will Link every night at midnight so as to avoid detection be anyone. He will then utilize his significant necromancy and rupturing skills to have animated ravens, rats, and other rodents gather intelligence on the subject and use Scrying to eavesdrop. He also has a back office in which he works personally with special clients and a simple, cruel cell in which he works with special witnesses.)

- Shop Details: Deep in the Underground there is a door with a skull carved into it. Most don’t know about it, but talk enough to enough lowlifes and criminals and they will tell you. Go to the door at midnight and walk in. Inside one would find a small room with an old wooden mannequin slumped on a chair and a strongbox in it’s lap. When the mannequin nods, one is able to ask it to find out something about anyone in Etzos. The Mannequin will give a return date and a price. Upon the return of the client the mannequin will tell all it has found out in exchange for the money. The room in the Underground is dark and dank, with only a pair of candles lighting the space sitting on an old copper dish atop a small table next to the chair in which the mannequin sits. The mannequin itself has a carved face and eyes that burn green. It has cobwebs and spiders on it, suggesting the thing does not move. The strongbox will sit with the lid open, inviting payment. Very special clients are allowed through the trapdoor over which the mannequin sits. This trapdoor leads to Neronin’s personal office. A small door in that office leads to the tiny space which serves as a prison cell for those witnesses Neronin finds it prudent to contain.
If one was clever enough to find out about the Whisper and find their way to the mannequin, they would have undoubtedly heard stories about what happens to those who do not pay for the information given. Rumors of body parts left strewn around the Underground or else corpses sent to loved ones in dozens of small boxes abound in the criminal underworld of Etzos. - Inventory:

Appearance: With a long, scarred face, Ronald has a blind eye and unkempt hair. He wears stained leathers and linens and a cowl almost all the time. He smells of onions and seems to be covered in the grime characteristic of an Underground native.
Personality: Roland gravitates towards the dark and powerful. He is nosey by nature and profession and quick with his fingers and his wit. Sometimes this peevish humor rubs people the wrong way, or most of the time really. In fact, most who know him well don't like Roland. Luckily enough for him, most of those individual's reside exclusively in the Underground, leaving him to roam the topside freely.
