Adventurers Inn (open)

[JesterTagz]

Kirian looked around the factory district, becoming stiffer and more tense with each step. The tiefling was holding on to his spear as tightly as possible, using it as a walking cane of sorts. It made a sharp click every few seconds but the noise was lost in the scuffling of feet, shouts, clangs and laughter which went on all around them. Why was the ex slave so upset over where they were going? People. If the bar had been overwhelming, this was practically hell. He hated how they had to press up against strangers to carve a path through the crowd, the sounds which built up over each other into a maddening cacophony. "Where are we going?" he asked at last, pulling the two men into a dirty alley so they could hear each other talk.

Kriss was looking around him uncomfortably. This school district wasn’t the kind of place he love to go except some time when he try to steal some stuff to the rich.



By chance it’s the first time he came to this town so the guard here didn’t know his face and he can walk without having to hide, he just try to hide his gun and his sword to be sure he not gonna have any problem now.



“Ok so now that we are here, where are we going? There is maybe some people at the church who have heard some information or maybe if there is a combat school in this district some teacher have tried to find the family and could give us some information”



Kriss wasn’t really sure this district would help them but any information they can have can be good at this point

Aerin follows kriss quietly. As they walk they are approached by a young and ambitious priest. Father Lucas
Father lucas is fairly new to the priesthood and is egar to meet the people. Especially new people but he is not someone you want to give your confession to because he is a bit of a gossip and the bishop has had to tell him more then once that confessions are confidential. He also enjoys gambling and a stiff drink once in a while. "Good evening gentlemen," he says approaching kriss and aerin with a huge smile. "I'm father lucas," he reaches out his hand to shake kriss's. "Haven't seen you before."

Siren couldnt help squealing when the angry teifling dragged them both into a dark,wet alleyway, not to long before they entred."Where are we going?"He asked, in a displeased and annoyed tone."Not sure, really - maybe we should start by questioning some of the civilains over here."he suggested, turning back to the busy street."Maybe someone here knows about goods going missing.At the very least someone should know the whereabouts of bandits in their city.Our best bet then would be to find a Thief's guild, if we are, then talking about professionals here.
If we dont find one, then we could be going up against an amature group.If so then they would most likely have a camp on the outskirts of the town."he explained as be peeked around the corner of street.

"With the three of us, we should be able to get at least some information before the sun goes down.As an extra we could spread the awareness of bandits in the city.It would help if some people were kept aware of their surroundings, am I right?- Mot?"He continued before realising Mot had vanished.Siren's heart sank as he patted himself down.
His coin sack had been taken aswell.

"Guess its just us..."he sighed as he slung his bag back over his shoulders.

As you talk in the alley a guard walks by and notices you. He starts walking down the alley to confront you as a drow and a tiefling talking in an alley is a little suspicious he doesn't want to jump to conclusions.
"Excuse me fellas do you need help?" His words are friendly but his tone is nervous and suspicious. He grips his bardiche waiting for a reason to fight

Kirian took several steps back from the guard, his silver eyes widening with what looked like a flash of fear. As a tiefling, he'd had one too many encounters with guards. While he could hold his own, it was never pleasant. His own hand tightened around the spear, parting his legs and distributing his weight more evenly in a passive aggressive stance. It could be noted that he was at least two inches taller than the guard and twice as big. Yet he still felt threatened. "We are doing nothing wrong," he said in that heavily accented voice of his.

 

[Kozaru]

Kriss looked at father Lukas but didn’t reach his hand to shake Lukas’ one.

“Church aren’t the kind of place I like to go, that’s why you never saw me here before” Kriss wasn’t sure that a priest could help them due to their serment but every man have a price and he can have some information from confession so for Kriss it was worth it to try something even if the chance to have something aren’t really high “Father, could we speak on a more discret place? My companion and myself are on a important mission and I think you can help us.”

"Yes of course," the priest said with a smile. He lead you two to the study of his large house in the scaler district. The study was wall to wall bookshelves filled with books. A large coffee table surrounded by a decorative couch and two matching arm chairs. A fire crackled in the large brick fireplace. "Take a seat," he directed you toward the couch as he sat in the arm chair on the opposite side of the table. "So how can I help?" Kozaru Wind

"No your not," the guard said suspiciously "and let's make sure we keep it that way. What factory are you from, I'll escort you back I'm sure your union rep is getting worried." The guard smirked as if to say I know you dont really work here so I'm going to find a way to arrest you FiSHY_Boi_0149 JesterTagz

"Oh, n-no,Sir!
I am afraid that w-we aren't from around here!"he stummered frantically, jumping in between him and the teifling.Siren could easily see the tension between the two so he tried his best to prevent it.

"Well then, what brings you to this place, foreigner?"he asked, slowly directing his attention to the bard.Before he could answer he noticed why the guard thought they were from a factory union.He realised that things worked differently in this town.He knew that some races weren't welcome everywhere.Some humans still have were bound to have insecurities about the them.The guard would never accept traveling mercenaries as anything other that an excuse.He needed to get him to belive that they weren't here by choice as that would be suspious.
"Well, we are here on important business!"he answered, as he felt a cold chill run down his spine.Even though Siren didn't want to lie, he knew that he had to trust his gut.
"What business then?"he asked, tightening his grip on his spear.
Siren gulped and took a deep breathe before he directing his attention back to the guard.
"We are apart of a small crew on a merchant ship that docked here last night.Our boss wanted us too find her client but the streets were so overwhelming that my companion and I had to have a breather.We haven't been on land for weeks so it would take us a while to get use to."he explained keeping his face as blank as possible.
Siren just hoped he believed his lie, he didn't want to cause anything unnessary.

 

[Kozaru]

Kriss sat in front of the priest and was looking at the house “i will be direct and honest with you Father, I think that you know it but some days ago people have disappeared at the gate of the town and other caravan have been attacked since that day, the guard have failed at his work of protecting people so I’m here to do what they can’ but for this I need as much information as possible, with your position people are open to talk to you about anything they do or see, I’m sure that you have some information that could help me”

Kriss put a pause on his sentence before continuing “I know that your serment don’t allow you to speak of what people say to you but remember that I do it for the good and the safety of the people”

"I've heard of the disappearance," the priest told kriss. "Its good you are willing to help. The guards said the attacks were goblins but this last one was the strangest because nothing was taken or destroyed the people just simply disappeared and the guards quickly gave up the search because the case went cold. No clues no witnesses. The only thing I know is that the bishop ordered the road closed for a week for his brother's funeral procession. The bishop has been out of the kingdom since then to retrieve his brothers body." Kozaru

"Well let me help you," the guard told siren. "What company does your client work for. We will find them. I understand this part of town is a busy place and a lot of new traders get lost but that's why I'm here to help." He smiled but still seemed a little suspicious FiSHY_Boi_0149

 

[FiSHY_Boi_0149]

"Oh forgive me , Sir, but the company name is difficult to pronounce."Siren said, keeping a firm grib on his calm,blank expresion."The company comes from a foreign country.They hired us becuase we had the abilty to translate for them and handle negotiations but we still struggle to pronounce the exact wording."

With this he slower pulled a pen and paper out his bag and wrote down the first thing that came to mind.He then handed the paper to the guard which read T'puuli cryso.
"I hope that is correct as the name doesn't translate too well into your dialect."he confessed as he took a step away from the man.
"Aha!That's exactly why I should escort you!If your on important bussiness then I would be happy to lend a hand."he advised, turning his attention back to the teifling behind him.
"Forgive me, once again, but I must decline as out client doesn't want any unwanted attention.The company doesn't have much of a reputation yet so we want to do our best to get a good one soon.So if you would excuse us, we have a job to do."

 

[Kozaru]

“Funeral without body? So the Bishop’s brother has disappeared too, do you know when he disappeared?“ Kriss was wondering if the two case where linked or not

 

[Twenty below]

"Well the bishops brother lives in rija. When the bishop got word of his death he went to go bring his body home. He is out in rija now with most of the fellowship. He should be back any day now with his brothers body. The king agreed to close the road with the exception of import and export and most of if not all the caravans since then have been getting attacked." Kozaru

The guard stared at the paper as siren walked away. Siren makes his way to the scholar district to try and find kriss. Hopefully kriss was still here because it seems like all the others they met at the inn left because the job was too difficult. Which was true it was certainly not a simple case but they were slowly on their way to the truth FiSHY_Boi_0149

 

[FiSHY_Boi_0149]

Siren rushed through the dark corridors and alleyways and quickly made his way to the scholar district.Running through the buildings were faster and less crowded than the main street.As he made his way to his last companion, the moon slowly began its ascend into the clear night sky.

When he got to the scholar district he asked a few people of the whereabouts of his companion.He did his best to describe him but nobody saw a man with that discription.Fortunately one person knew what Siren was talking about.An old, goblin begar named Gamet, called to him after over-hearing his discription from his corner."Yes,yes, saw the man-tall and intimidating. Last saw him with Father Lucus- very, very kind, and caring!"he stated as he got up and directed him to his house."Both are in are in his home - very, very warm and comforting."
"Thank you very much for assitance.May Ellistrae bless you for many days to come."he said as he gave the goblin his last silver coin.
"Ah, and thy name?"
"Siren,"he answered
"Yes,yes, Siren- very,very holy and generious."he stated as he limped back to his corner.
When he was out of sight , Siren didn't waste anymore time and rushed into the house.When he found them in the study, he bowed before them and said,"Forgive me for my intrusion."
