Death in Freeport

[Erekose13]

Dogrynn sticks with Arcata, but remains quiet. He plays his part well for the most part, it must be the early morning thats got him out of sorts as he'd normally be causing trouble and disrupting delicate conversations.

 

[Voadam]

Arcata frowns, puzzled at the words she'd heard.

"Did he say anything else that you remember?" she asks. "Or give any idea where he might have been going? Perhaps you saw what direction he headed once he got out?"

"I don't speak ork. The ork seemed puzzled and amused by the thin guy and seemed to be telling him a lot. I don't know if it was stories or what but he got going and the young guy was listening attentively. When he did leave he looked like he wasn't even paying attention to what was going on around him."

 

[Shayuri]

Arcata nods slowly, absorbing that. "Was it the same orc that was there in the bar this evening? In fact...do you ever see Kenn and that orc speaking?"

 

[Voadam]

him? Yeah

"Yeah, he's always got that big axe he rests right next to him. Even if I don't see his face, he always takes that back table and rests his axe there as he takes his food and ale. Kenn sometimes talks to him, but I think he's scared of him and keeps it short."

 

[Shayuri]

That just left one more question.

"Do you ever see anyone else talking to that orc?" Arcata asks, reaching into her purse.

 

[Voadam]

"Not really, most everybody keeps to themselves in there. He watches when anybody enters the pub, but he never stirs himself and seems happy to have a quiet piece of time to himself." She eyes the bag expectantly.

 

[Erekose13]

Dogrynn doesn't really have any questions for the girl, understanding dimly that the orc is most likely in some way related to Scarbelly and that the errant priest was digging around where he shouldnt have been.

 

[Shayuri]

Arcata nods and draws five gleaming gold coins from her purse, clutching them in her fist so they won't be too visible from a distance.

"You've earned this...and my thanks. We've been careful, but I think it's prudent to warn you to be careful. If Kenn is too afraid to speak, he may have good reason. Thank you for coming forward."

 

[Voadam]

Her eyes light up at the sight of the gold "Thank you." she says as she takes them. The coins quickly disappear. "I don't know if that orc is just being cautious by noting who comes in or if he's looking for someone, if so he hasn't seen him yet."

 

[Voadam]

"Tell your friend" she jerks her head towards Hinjo with a smile "I like his outland braids. If he wants an actual day out my name's Jinny, he knows where I work nights." She melts off into the market crowd, soon disappearing.

Hinjo sees Jinny walk by and she gives him a smile and a wink before disappearing into the crowd.
