Kendra looks like she has lost all her appetite. "Seven... seventeen days ago? That was the day he died." she seems to go pale and looks to the floor. "He was found in the courtyard at Harrowstone prison. A accident of some sort they said. An old piece of statuary fell and... and..." she stops unable to continue.

Piedra sits down to dinner and starts to eat, not waiting for the others. As expected his table manners leave a lot to be desired but at least he uses his knife and fork rather than his fingers. Still that does not stop him talking with his mouth full as he replies to Kendra "Mutter mumble mutter any mutter body." he says. Realising that he was not totally clear he finishes chewing what's in his mouth and say "In which case he would have had the tools on him. Where any tool found with the body."

Triessa hurries around and gives the grief-striken daughter a hug.

"Kendra, I'm so sorry. You shouldn't have to hear any of this. He brought us here so WE could take care of it. And we will, I promise. You don't have to worry. Just concentrate on getting your life back together, and leave the rest to us, all right?"

Bella had taken the time to relax as one with mixed feelings. She knew nothing of the others, except that the Professor had trusted them in his will, along with herself. They seemed a bit of an odd bunch, but then again, that only made her fit in more. The Harrowing had turned bizarre, to say the least, as she takes the time in her room to inspect her deck. Something had happened to it, and she was unsure of how to take the new revelation.

Inspecting the cards, she holds the one she choose in her hand, looking over the card, marveling at it's intricacy. Shaking her head, she stows them back in their case, and heads downstairs to eat. Hopefully the food would be worth the wait, as she is now unawares just how long it has been that she's been foraging and eating on the road.

When dinner is served, she tastes everything, more than once. When the journal is brought up, along with the date of the Professors death, she can only hope that they don't end up in the same fate. Why didn't he wait for help? Why did he go this alone?

When Triessa moves to help Kendra, Bella only watches. Deciding that things were under control, and there was nothing much she could do, she goes back to tasting the food, trying to figure out the spices in each one...

Elthos couldn't help but to think that this entire situation was weird. The exact last entry was the same day the professor died? This does not sound like the professor died of an accident...with those journal entries? Something stinks. But first...

"Kendra, you have had a very long day. Go upstairs and rest. We will clean up dinner, and turn in soon. OK?"

 

[HolyMan]

"Yes, yes you are right." Kendra says looking fatigued. She gives Triessa a brave smile and then starts to leave.

But before she goes she turns to the group. "Oh I almost forgot. If you have anymore questions about the books my father left you. You could look about in the library. Second door on the left from the entrance way. Good night."

[sblock=LvL up?] And finally we come to your lvl up requirements. To reach lvl 2 you need to find out all the information you can on Harrowstone Prison (and any related persons) and The Whispering Way. Once you have all info available you will be lvl 2 and then follow up on it. Here is how you can do this...

Step one: Make either a Know(history) or Know(local) check for what your character knows (off the top of their head) about Harrowstone. And either a Know(arcana) or Know(religion) check for what they know for The Whispering Way. This check is only allowed once per character.

Step two: Make a Gather Info check (one allowed per day) as you venture through town talking to the locals.

Step three: Research - You may research into each subject to make one of the above checks (listed in step one). Bonuses will apply depending on where the research takes place (unless you are untrained). Your character is allowed to make an untrained skill check if they are researching a subject at a library but they do not receive that areas bonus to the skill check. Researching allows one check to be made per day and takes the whole day to do.

Note: aid another checks, guidance, and all other boost are allowed just list in with the roll plz.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC] So everyone may post up their two free checks one for each topic and then it will be off to bed and in the morning you may decide how your character goes about his investigating.

EDIT: I have linked this post into the tracking post (page 1, post #2) for easy finding later.[/sblock]

Hearing of the library, Bella moves swiftly to delve deeper into the Professors study. She looks over the books, intent on finding any that might hint at what they will be facing. She also checks to see if any are missing, or recently left out as if being read. As she does so, she thinks on what she has heard about the prison as well as the Whispering Way.

Edit - Aid Another success on Know Arcana for total of 16 on Know Arcana

Valanar thinks back to his studies as as a teenager at the temple.

Without much else to do, Triessa headed into the library as well...though she spent more time thinking to herself about her travels and the rumors she'd heard than reading books. Though she did find a few magical texts that intrigued her enough to pull her out of her thoughts for a time...

Piedra racks his brains to see what he knows about the Harrowstone Prison and the Whispering Way. Not feeling tired he joins Bella and Triessa in the library, where he searches for recent books on religion.
