[QUOTE="Cerebral Paladin, post: 2076568, member: 3448"] Session 18: 5/30, afternoon: After finishing with the Inquisitors, most of the group returns to the cath Kalissar townhouse. Vannser heads directly to the Skyrnaths, so he can comfort Desithia. As they enter, the butler steps forward to Ginara with a sealed message on a silver platter. She notes that the seal is blank, and ignores Lhovrik's griping about her sharing information with Kinric. She quickly opens the letter. Please come see me as soon as convenient. If you have prisoners, bring them with you, or leave them in a safe place and I'll arrange to have them picked up. --K. Ginara looks up from the note. "I need to go talk to Uncle Kinric. Does anyone want to come with me?" Dove nods. "I'll come." Sister Aurora looks at her friends. "We need to get Marna back. It's my family's responsibility." "I'm happy to help with that," Melania says. "The first step will be to check the city slave market." Lhovrik gestures at the ragged rips in the group's clothes. "We should probably clean up first. We'll be less obvious that way." The butler steps back into the room. "Master Lhovrik, Mistress Ginara, we have laid out fresh clothing for each of you in your rooms." "Thank you. Can you take care of our friends as well?" "That shouldn't be a problem, m'lord. We have clothes that will suit most of them, and I'll have the maid use the Mending Stick on Sister Aurora's vestments during her bath." A little later, the two groups depart. Dove and Ginara travel across the nice sections of the city to Kinric's office in Dro Sanek. Ginara quickly describes the recent events. Kinric smiles. "I'm glad that you're sister was recovered safely," he says to Dove. "All of you handled the situation very well. It's a little unfortunate that you turned the prisoners over to the Inquisitors..." "But aren't they the right people to handle things like that?" "Yes, but the prisoners would have been more useful to me. The Inquisitors tend to not be very interested in exchanging spies, and when the Nusaybians capture my people, I try to get them back. Still, the most important thing is that you saved your friend. And turned up some interesting leads as well." Kinric pauses. "I have some further news about the Lir Galdra incident. I sent an agent to look into matters at the Aretash monastery here in Lir Sanek. He was supposed to check in, but he's missed the last two. I suspect they've killed him. "That may not mean much. The Aretash are touchy about their secrets, and may have just killed him because he was looking around in places where he wasn't welcome.

I would really like to get his body back, though. Feel free to investigate further, but don't create any incidents. And be careful, if you do...
