My second attempt to post. I'm saving this one to disk so I don't have to re-type it.
After Eddie slams the door in Castille's face, he'll have a look around the shop. He tries to get a feel for the type of business Eddie runs, the way things are kept, or if any obvious clues are laying about that would in some way relate to the sewer-delve.
Which means that you should have rolled a Search check. Since you didn't I rolled one for you (not wanting to wait until you did, AHEM). Yeah well, I'm not doing that again because I rolled a 19. You can roll from now on or I assume that you are taking 10.
Anyway...the room has been cleared out recently. There are a few scraps and things here and there, but they do not seem to be of any interest. (In other words, without the Investigate feat to boost your Search skill, there is a limit to what you can find.) HOWEVER, you do find an unusual amount of new ash in a heating pipe. Somebody recently burned a large number of papers. And when you burn a large number of papers that are tightly packed together, there usually are a few scraps in the middle that don't burn. (Trust me, I've tried this. It's why you are supposed to poke at a fire.) You find some few untouched papers.
The papers discuss a "retention vat." They also mention that the exhaust valves for the pipe have not functioned correctly since a certain date (which was during the Last War), and the Electors want the thing fixed already. It is a high-priority to them apparently. The paper shows that the retention vate is to the south of where you first entered (you went north when you first started this if you will recall).
What a retention vat is will require a Knowledge Engineering or Knowledge Dungeoneering check DC 11. The significance of the date on the paper will require a Knowledge History check DC 15.
As Knowledge checks with a DC higher than 10 cannot be made untrained, that's all you know, unless you want to trust what you have found with a certain gnome who may know...
