The Hunt for the Blue Palace (Yoon Suin/Troika!)

The golem marches on westward. It's not hard to follow, going at a good pace but making lots of noise, it's metal feet clanging on the hard road. However, no one comes to investigate. The creature is now entering the Yellow City Proper...

"Hmm." mused Dubi Gan out loud to those following him, "This seems to be a distraction from our task. But I am curious as to where this gollem is going. It is not what I have paid you to do, but if you will indulge me, I would like to follow for a little longer."

I believe it to be returning to its masters at the slugman guild of wind. Few of us if any would be welcome there. We are under your employ dubi and thus it is ultimately up to you.

"Yes — if I were to venture a guess — I believe the golem was simply tasked with the delivery of this box, by LuhaGala of the House of Wind. However.... after all this time.... to the point that the building had turned to ruin, who knows if this LuhaGala is still alive."

"If it does return to the House of Wind, perhaps Frog Froth can inquire on records for when it left." said Dubi Gan, his curiousity truly piqued. He thought for a moment and added, "Of course, do not mention the package."

"I entirely agree. Do not mention the box, only that we found the golem. Also, when we have a moment, I would love to have a look at that box you have there. I believe I could gain some insight if what's inside is magical."

OOC: I'd like to use Second Sight when we have a chance.
Second Sight — Use of this allows the detection of magic. On a successful Test you focus your inner eye and all sorcerous activity glows faintly for a moment.

If we speed up we could walk with the golem and provided we don’t impede it, it shouldn’t notice us and then we could go to the house of wind and say we found their lost golem and brought it back to them.

@tuffghost12 give me a check.

You speed up and easily catch up with the golem, who matches on forward. As you cross into the edge of the Yellow City (a rough place), would be foot-pads give you a wide berth - an armed slugman with armed followers and a golem? Hard pass. A few bored street urchins start following you.

As you move through the district towards the shore, the amount of tag along increases. More street urchin, but also unemployed laborers and mercenaries, passer bys, servants on break, wandering Lamarakhis. No single element, not even the golem, is worth of following, but a strangely armed slugmen with foreigners, a armed apprentice, a seer AND a golem! Something good is bound to happen. By the time you reach the shore, even another slugman (a peculiar sort, with a shuffling gate and one eye stalk longer than the other) is following the group of gawkers, who now measures several dozens. Some of the urchins are excitedly telling the others that you came out of the old city!

The crowd could be a bit of a concern, but right now the party members are more concerned by a sudden realization - the golem is still walking resolutely on the Red Road, and is about to step on the Red Bridge.... which collapses centuries ago. You have mere moments to intervene if you wish.
