Clockwork, Steam & Sorcery

After listening to the others speak for a while, Phowett makes a conclusion. "Well, an investigation does sound like a good practice for my skills and senses..." he says while stretching his arms. "...And I think I'd rather go to the Guild. Not a very good choice, nope..."

"So James, you'd prefer to associate with people who gladly destroy the lives of the common folk than with women who decide to earn an honest copper? To each their own." Elias chuckles mirthlessly. "I really don't think we should split up, at least not tonight. The streets can be dangerous at night, and students often make rich pickings for the city's criminal element. If we must go looking for the vagabonds I know a couple of rather seedy establishments down in Cokscombe where a few coppers will go a long way towards tracking them down if anyone in the area knew them. I don't think we should go troubling the 'guild' just yet, lets hold onto that option until we exhaust all others, besides I want to avoid the attention of that halfling smuggler."

Elias slightly suprised at his rather conservative approach to the situation at hand downs the remainder of his beer. "What's wrong with me today? Suppose I should get some more ale down me, maybe I'll feel more like myself after a pint or two."
 

Larina frowns. "You know, the high-ups in the guild may be filth and scum, but most of the Thieves down there are common folk too. And how many commoners do you think are robbed each year? Do you think it amounts to much? The Thieves there rob from the rich. What does your average commoner have that can be fenced for good money?"

"As for splitting up, if we do decide to go in different directions, I'd rather catch some shut-eye and investigate the Postman in the Early morning, and the Clockmaker. Its not like the Thieves guild shuts for business during the day, and the same for the Prostitution industry. So I think we should all sleep on this."
With that, Larina does the biggest, longest yawn she can, stretching as she does it.
 

All right, the morning it be. 'Tis certainly no time for a Lady to walk the streets. And perhaps we should stay together to investigage. Linda says.
 

Phowett rubs his chin and looks at Larina. "You make a good point, Larina. Perhaps we should keep our money and un-needed items at our rooms before we go to the Guild, if we are to investigate the Guild that is."
 

Ah Powhet, always a source of wisdom. Tomorrow morning it is. And for right now I'm off to bed. Yearly classes tomorrow, or have you all forgotten you schooling with this? Forge gets up and starts walking to the door. Anyone coming with me?
 


With that, the group decides to disperse for the night, heading back to their rooms on campus. The Men's and Women's dorms are on opposite sides of the campus, so you split into two groups divided by gender at the massive University gates to head off in your own direction.

There are few students about at this time, but whether because of the murders or just because it is only the first day of school, you can not say. A breeze too warm for the start of Autumn blankets the air and gives everything a musky, humid smell.

All upper year students are given preference on rooms at Jackwood Hall Dormitories. Generally this means that most a few students in their last year get a room to themselves. Alas, because of the recent rush of admissions, none of you were lucky enough to receive sole use of a room. All of you go to separate rooms, with the exception of Forge and Froud, who are roomates.

OOC: Sorry about the late update, RL sucks sometimes :( Anyway, I will update again tomorrow. If there's anything you'd like to do during the night, now would be the time to do it.
