Eavesdropping

Eavesdropping Social Apprentice 200 hours Using this skill allows you to listen in on other's conversations. You have practiced selective hearing; and you can try to pick up specific information, or just listen for the good stuff. An apprentice needs to be undisturbed, but still may filter out unneeded background noise. A journeyman can pretend to be involved in another task—such as talking with someone or drinking. A master eavesdropper may actually engage in other tasks—he can respond to the person he is talking with while scanning the crowd for information, for example. A master may even sing and play an instrument while trying to find someone talking about the Duke's attempted assassination.
