Airwalkrr's Shackled City IC

[airwalkrr]

[sblock=Outside]Once again the half-elves glance at each other. It is odd, almost as if they have some unspoken means of communication. The blonde one shrugs and they turn back to you. The brown-haired half-elf replies, "To be honest, we've been watching both the temple you came from and the orphanage for the last couple of days. We figured if anyone happened to come across something useful, they would have to visit one of those places. The Church of the Cudgel came out publicly against the kidnappings, and the orphanage was the site of the most recent offense."[/sblock]

Hearing the dwarf tells about missing people the Half-Orc decides to interfere. Well, manners are not his good ability.
Hey ... Excuse me ... what do you have with missing people?
Floch say to the Dwarf
I'm looking for the children that vanished in the orphanage and the locks over there were made by him.
He turns to the gnome and frowns while jumping to conclusions
Maybe you lost your toolkit fellow or maybe someone took your master key, you are irresponsible.

Alexi

[SBLOCK=Outside]Not having entered the store yet, Alexi moves closer to where the others are talking with the two half-elves. Something seems weird with them, but she cannot put her finger on it. Since the conversation seems to go well, she just stands nearby and listens to what is being said, wondering whether they can trust these two or not.[/SBLOCK]

The dwarf turns to eye the massive slab of muscle that is Floch. At the half-orc's words, Baelor turns his gaze back to Ghelve. "Well, now...this does seem to be quite a coincidence. My friends were kidnapped from a house using your locks, and now a bunch of orphans too? I'm afraid this casts you in a poor light, Master Ghelve. But still, I'd love to hear an explanation." The dwarf takes another long pull from his pipe, exhaling the smoke with a smirk on his craggy face. "Perhaps you have some enemy that seeks to defame your character, and is targeting those buildings protected by your locks?"

"Well, then! We have common cause," Simon proclaims cheerfully, letting his hand fall from the haft of his axe. He takes another step forward, extanding that same hand for the nearest of the two men to shake. "Simon Sinople," he says with a grin, "You? And no," he quickly adds, before the man can speak, "Certainly we don't suspect master Ghelve. Why should we? He is simply an expert on locks, with whom we wish to consult."

[sblock=Inside]Ghelve's brow furls at the implications being made. "You want an explanation? How's this for an explanation? Two fellows obviously blinded by their own ignorance are jumping to conclusions. I'm the finest locksmith in this city. I'm practically the ONLY locksmith in the city. Odds are anyone who's had a lock made in last thirty years in this town got it from me, and for thirty years, no one has had a problem with my locks. I am a respectable businessman, not some two-bit thief."[/sblock][sblock=Outside]"Well met, Simon," says the blonde half-elf.

"Yes, well met," says the brown-haired one. "I am Fellian and my associate here is Fario. It is a pleasure to join your group. For now we will hang back and allow you to continue your investigation. Should you require our aid with anything in particular, do not hesitate to ask for our assistance. I have a bit of divine magic I can lend if the occasion warrants and we are both handy in a fight."[/sblock]

[sblock=outside]Keth wasn't quite sure what to make of the pair, but their offer of help did seem genuine as far as he could tell. He supposed it would be foolish to look a gift horse in the mouth. However they weren't learning anything new standing around here, the half-elves had less information than they did. Nothing farther to add he just nodded, Alright, and turned to head into the locksmith's.

[sblock=ooc]Is the brown haired one wearing any kind of obvious holy symbol that might give anymore information about their affiliations? [/sblock] [/sblock]

 

[airwalkrr]

[sblock=Outside][sblock=OOC]There is nothing particularly striking about Fellian's appearance to indicate he is a member of any specific faith. He does not outwardly wear a holy symbol, nor is he garbed in clerical vestments. He and Fario are both dressed in traveler's outfits.[/sblock][/sblock]

Alexi

[SBLOCK=Outside]“Well then, any help for figuring out what's going on here is welcome. Speaking of which, we might want to check with the others who are already inside,” Alexi says and then heads into the shop.[/SBLOCK]

Someone is picking your locks little one. Maybe your locks are not that good!
The Half Orc frowns
Maybe we should get someone from Redgorge ...
