Gilbert/Tolbar replies to the scribe; "I and my companions will depart either tonight or very early tomorrow morning depending do we get ship ride or not tonight. So the information what I would give to the mayor would not be able to give. It takes only five minutes of his precious office time to inform him and then let him decide what to do with it. We could not come earlier as we tried solve a case of missing livestock and it is related to the security issue what I am going to talk about with the mayor." Gilbert going mislead mode to full negotiation mode where he tries convince scribe that he either lets them in to meet with mayor or that  mayor does not get a critical information never. Making a choice between a master's comfort in office off hour (and even then minimal loss) or master having then tough time with lack of information which makes community suffer because of it.<br/><br/>OOC: Rolling diplomacy here to be convincing as possible that case is<em>really</em>urgent.
