Swoops:
[sblock]The morning air is fresh and the seabreeze envigors Swoops as he walks into the waking city. Dozens of people are out completing the decorations for the celebration and many children roam the streets dressed in their family's finest. None of this distracts the Captain from the obvious though, for several city guards seem to be noticing Swoops as he walks through the city, more than a passing interest.
None of the opening markets has a yellow lotus, in fact some of the florists comment on its rarity and that they believe that the Order of Matrice has the only living one in 'captivity'. The search ends at the market that rests before the great temple of Matrice, and much to Swoop's interest, the guards seem to have doubled at its front doors.[/sblock]
Bart and Trav'nul:
[sblock]OOC: Gather Information check (DC 15) +17 - Success
Bart and Trav'nul spend the morning walking the tap houses, marketplaces and celebrations in the city centre, partaking of fare and playing games of chances for silvers with the locals. It seems that there is a buzz in the city this morning, for there was a murder last night, one of the more important priestesses in charge of the celebrations was found murdered in her bed, putting a stain on the celebrations.[/sblock]

Swoops circles the building from all sides, eager to find an easier way into the holy place. Unfortunately the temple is also the center of the festivities in the city, so there is a great deal of movement, and guards, on all sides. It would seem that Fate would deny Swoops the hand of a fair lady today, unless his wits had anything to say about it...

[sblock]Along the docks gold is easily spread, and it isn't long before the right questions on loose lips lets slip that one of the higher ups in the Order of Matrice met her end by the sharp end of a cut-throat's blade last night. There are dozens of rumours why it happened, but all seem to be the musings of drunken dockhands.[/sblock]
