"What's what?" Ged asks, trying to look past Hestia. Brystasia bends down to look at the glittering object. It's a delicate silver necklace, studded with tiny amethysts in several small flower patterns.

"Ooh, that's nice." Hestia says, peering round Brystasia's arm. "I wonder why it was left here?"

Bryastasia Purelove: Half-Nymph/Female (Gestalt:Holy Warrior/Rogue)

As Brystasia smiles at the beauty of the necklace as the amethysts sparkly in the torchlight she tries to answers Hestia questions, “I honesty don’t know…” Her voice trails off as she thinks, “Where the theaters closed in a rush or was it more civilized in their closing?”

As she waits for their answer she nods her head at Hestia and gives a pleasant grin as she walks around and behind Hestia. She places the necklace around Hestia’s neck and she turns her towards the dusty mirror to see how it looks on her. Her voice and smile carry her approval as she asks Hestia for her thoughts on it, “Well what do you think?”

"Some had plenty of notice before the law was passed, while others were closed overnight." Ged looks around the room. "I can't remember what happened with the Compass, though. To be honest, you'd be better off asking another of Aymara's faithful than me."

"It wasn't anything to do with the theater's being closed." Hestia corrects Ged. "The Compass' owner just ran out of money. He couldn't sell the place, and he borrowed money from the wrong people. Or that's what I heard, anyway. Rumour was that he and the actors were chased out by those wrong people."

"As I said, I know little of the theaters." As he speaks, Ged walks out back into the corridor to keep watch.

"It's beautiful, Brystasia." Hestia says merrily on seeing her wearing the necklace. "The gems are such a wonderful colour. Why don't you try it on?"

"Ladies, loath as I am to interrupt your appreciation of that jewelry, I do think we should focus on the matter at hand." Ged says from the hallway, sounding faintly impatient.

As Brystasia smiles as she looks at the necklace upon Hestia in the dirty mirror she replies kindly to the brown-headed girl, “No I don’t think that’s necessary as it simply looks perfect upon you.” As Brystasia takes a second to clasp the necklace around Hestia’s neck as she listens to Ged grumble from the hallway she whispers quietly into Hestia’s ear, “We'll have to leave him behind when we get the chance to go shopping.”

Finished with the necklace she turns to Ged with an apologetic smile, “Your right of course and theirs no need to apology for the interruption as we where about done anyways.” She quickly joins Ged in the hallway as she continues to speak, “Shall we try the next door or do you want to go down to the one with all the foot prints?”

"Thank you." Hestia simply replies to the compliment, looking admiringly at the reflection of the necklace before following Brystasia back out into the hallway.

"Ged's not one you could get to go shopping." She whispers back. "He's a bit of a stick in the mud when it comes to looking around the market."

"I think it's best if we're systematic about this." Ged says as he moves down to the next door along. Throwing the door open, he glances in.

"Another empty dressing room." Ged calls back. "So, any guesses as to what's behind our final door?"

Brystasia gives an agreeing smile and wink to Hestia as she prepares for the next door and she nods her head in agreement with Ged, “Aye, that indeed would work best.”

When the door is open she gives a relieved looks and sigh at its reviled to be empty of occupants and she replies matter-of-factly, “We can add this one to an in depth search later” She gives Ged a small smile as she continues, “I have no desire to guess but with all the tracks I will guess that the room is not empty.”

Ged pushes open the final door, which leads through into another short hallway. The footprints continue down it, branching to go through both the door at the far end and the one set in the wall to your left.

"For a closed building, it seems to be getting a remarkable amount of traffic." Ged observes. "Which way shall we go first?"

Brystasia frowns not liking the idea of what all the footprints could me and she gives the young man a worried look as she address him, “Not just a remarkable amount of foot traffic. Its simply to much.”

See squats and looks at the footprints hoping to find something useful but not really expecting too and ask both of them in general, “Who or what could gain with an association with the undead?”

Brystasia examines the tracks closely, but can't really distinguish anything unusual. They're rather indistinct in dust, not really the ideal medium for tracks.

"Any number of evil men or creatures might think they could gain from creating, controlling or associating with the undead, but such vile acts are always their ruin." Ged says firmly.

"Perhaps it's a wizard? I know some necromancers don't like working within the restrictions that are placed on their field of magic." Hestia suggests.

"Perhaps, or it could be some mortal has been tempted by the words of demons." Ged sounds enthusiastic at this idea.

As Brystasia stands up from the dusty trail she gives Ged a scolding look for his misplaced enthusiasm, “I think Hestia would agree with me that we should hope to find nothing more. Anyhow, we should consider all our options. I leave a rather protected life, or at least I hear few rumors, have either of you heard anything that could be connected to this?”
