I could help soothe your soreness, if you like. I may not look it, but I am in fact an expert in the most fascinating art of massage..."Allip coughs loudly. *ahem* "I -THINK- that they would be more interested in their current situation, Borius.""Oh! Quite right. What would I do without you, Allip?" (Allip rolls his eyes) "Anyway, we have taken the liberty of putting our ear to the proverbial ground in order to discover what, exactly, transpired in the warehouse where you were found. This is what we know.""You, apparently, working for Marley, an...er...entrepreneur, of sorts. He had some connection to Rebekkah, and was also looking for her safe return (kudos to you, by the by, for keeping my name out of it. The circles in which I travel would be absolutely livid if they were to discover that not only had my faux-daughter lived in the slums, but actually was involved with such an unsavory character). The culprit, it would seem, was a rival gnoll thug by the name of Hyann, who was kidnapping girls for some sort of foul ritual. With the help of Marley's loyal retainer Ash," (Borius points to Raiyek. The eladrin apparently has trouble distinguishing between anyone who isn't a woman) "you were able to find some sort of evidence linking Hyann (or, at least, a person in Hyann's employ) to the murders. Unfortunately, Hyann caught wind of the plan and had Marley kidnapped.""You made your way to the warehouse, where despite your efforts, you were unable to stop the ritual. Although Marley was destroyed, the exotic magical dwarf in your group" (Borius points to Kruk) "was able to call down some sort of magical blue fire from the sky that incinerated the ritualist. In a rage, Hyann struck you all down and left you for dead. You were found shortly thereafter by the city guard, unconscious. I, using my masterful skills of negotiation and persuation," (Allip groans) "convinced the guard of your innocence, and was able to not only clear you of all charges and have you brought to my estate so that I could personally oversee your recovery, but to actually have the charred corpse found with you to be examined by Alllip, so assures me that it is indeed the body of the one who killed my dear Rebekkah. You were hanging by a halfing's whisper (if you parden the expression, Allip)" (Another groan) "for a time, but luckily you were all able to make a full recovery. You've been out for roughly six days.""Despite a few setbacks, congradulations on a mission accomplished!" Borius smiles and bursts into applause.</blockquote>
