Downtime: Carousing

While this town is in no way large, it is worth meeting the locals. I need to find if there is anyone in this town that can assist me with whomever this Scartia Krutz is. I don't really know what "taxes" are, but going by Rupta's reaction, they aren't good.
 
I have about 50 gold I'm willing to part with; that should allow me to ingratiate myself to a few locals enough to get some information. I pray that it will work and maybe make some new friends along with getting the information about local customs.
 
I'm looking forward to "letting my hair down" as I've heard some people say.
