Having met several hobgoblins well-trained in the Martial Way, Errol looks at the goblin as he would any other sentient being, a possible means to an end. He looks at the others for confirmation as he replies,We save most of the treasure for communal supplies and take small amounts for our own purchases. We'll cut you in for our customary 10% as long as you're taking the same risks as us when things get dicey.

"Tomorrow night. Better results would be found if we were up and about at the same time as everyone else." Replies Tesla as she looks from the town to the rest of the group.

"Ok, but where?"
And after you give her some sort of location, I believe I'm out of stuff to bombard the party with for the time being.

Tesla nods her head and then heads of back to her room for an afternoon of rest and mediation. "Do what you must but then everyone should get some rest. I doubt we will be well welcomed come tomorrow night." She calls out behind her.
OOC: She has everything she is going to need for their descent. She is good to go when everyone else.

Slisik agrees to meet the others at the dungeon at the stated time. Soon after, he breaks away from the group and wanders into the city. The lizard looks around the various markets in the city, browsing through common food kiosks and the like.
If any of the city's inhabitants seem receptive to speaking with the rude Dragonborn, he will ask if there are any rumors about the Marchioness.
"I hear she is quite reclusive." - "Did the woman really imprison her mate?" - "What do you know about the Krellont dungeons?"
Gather information (untrained) (1d20-1=0) (lol... this should be funny)

Veris spends her down-time hanging out at the sleeziest bars, taverns and brothels, socialising with the dregs of society. She feels comfortable around scum, though not enough to show her true face, but that's not why she's there. It's easy enough to get whores and drunks to talk and they often see and hear things that pass other people by.
ooc: Gathering information about the "curse", the churches, the Nobles and the Marchioness. Spending whatever it takes (up to 50 gold or so, but probably a lot less).

[sblock=Slisik]During your attempts to question the populace about a number of the pains of Istivin, most answer fairly honestly. The vast majority of people do seem to think there's something weird about the Marchioness, and even a few suspect that she may be responsible for some of the ill happenings around the city. The Krellont Keep Dungeons, the ones most criminals are stored in, are fairly secure but also mundane. About 2/3 of the keep's dungeons are pretty standard fair. It's the deeper dungeons that are rarely visited. There are plenty of rumors that political prisoners, monsters, and even the odd hero has been locked up there.[/sblock]
[sblock=Veris]You end up spending a baker's dozen gold coins during your efforts. A few significant facts are your reward.
- The marchioness is from far away. Farther than the hinterlands. She's actually from the far off region of Aymo.
- The marchioness, when she was a more public figure, tried to force the local nobles to adopt a more goodly position towards the people of the town. She was a fierce proponent of nobless oblige (sp), that the nobles are there to serve the people, not be served by the people.
- The nobles became furious with some of the Marquis new laws inspired by his wife. They fought these new rules with everything they had. Many of these laws were, by some standards, only fair. They granted many of the people of Istivin rights which were reserved to nobles. Further, some of the nobles special privilidges were revoked.
- The local churches of Istivin are all headed by young priests. This is mostly due to the dangers that Istivin has faced for many years. As such, many of the priests are not particularly powerful, but they also are more willing to put themselves in the face of danger.
- The 'curse' is actually a very old story. Supposedly, people believed in the curse years and years before any of the invasions of Istivin.[/sblock]
