Death in Freeport

[Shayuri]

Arcata can make the connection that her stall is in a fairly direct line between the Athenaeum and Lucius' home in Drac's End. The last time she saw him he was heading Southeast though and not to his home.

Arcata sighed and nodded at the old woman, then gave her a silver piece. Tipping was a deep instinct in her; an artifact from happier days growing up. "Thank you for your help," she said. "A pleasant day to you, and good sales."

She then heads southeast, along the path pointed by the turnip lady, gesturing to Logan to follow.

"At this point," she admits, "The best I can think of is just to try to work out where he was going this time...and hope he wasn't just taking a scenic path to his usual haunts."

 

[Neurotic]

OOC: Shayuri, Arcata walks with Logan, not with Julian.

"Well, there is nothing else we can do at this moment. Let's follow his path and see if there is fortuitous revelation on his whereabouts."

 

[Le Noir Faineant]

OOC: Sorry, moving house. No interwebs for a few weeks. Looking to return afterwards, if I am still allowed, though.

 

[Voadam]

Hinjo volunteers to follow up on the research that assisstant loremaster Thuron suggested while Anton and Wilbur head out to meet up with the others.

Arcata and Logan spend the rest of the day combing around the poor areas of Drac's End and the middle class Eastern District, though with no further success.

Later that evening everybody meets up at Lucius' house to introduce Logan to Brother Egil and to share the news of what they learned that day.

Brother Egil is particularly worried about Anton's news about Dogrynn. "I'll think on what I can do to help him."

for Logan

Brother Egil is a young man in scholarly robes. He wears his long brown hair loose and his beard cut short. [sblock] The Athenaeum are believed to train certain of their followers in a number of magical traditions: divine, arcane, psionic and other occult practices. They are not guided by the precepts of either the New or the Old Gods venerated by the Assembly and keep much lore secret for their own purposes.[/sblock]

 

[Shayuri]

Arcata looks worried about Dogrynn too, but gives her report, though isn't happy about it.

"Well, we came up with almost nothing. The last time he was seen in the marketplace he went in a different direction than usual, but we didn't find anything in that direction that seemed like a likely destination."

She sighs and rests her head in her hands.

"Basically we didn't find anything useful out."

Wilbur

"Nothing new at the Athenaeum. But this Milos fellow seems a bit strange. Much into sacrifice... What is his story?" Wilbur explains and asks Brother Egil.

 

[Voadam]

Wilbur

"Nothing new at the Athenaeum. But this Milos fellow seems a bit strange. Much into sacrifice... What is his story?" Wilbur explains and asks Brother Egil.

"Milos is Loremaster Thuron’s right-hand man. He directly handles administration within the Athenaeum and as Thuron's number two his word is law for the scholars and librarians within the Athenaeum. He is relentless in asserting his own authority and in advancing himself. In general Thuron doesn’t make a decision without him. He’s been at the Athenaeum for fifteen years and soon made himself indispensible to Thuron. He is dedicated to his own ambitions, the Athenaeum, and Thuron—in that order."

 

[Neurotic]

"Sounds like a dangerous man.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Logan Artemis and I'm Lucius' friend. I heard a lot about you altough it seemed to me that Lucius was too occupied with his search otherwise he might have talked more.

I came here to speak with him on some matters when I found out he's missing. I'd like to help finding him if you'll have me."

 

[Le Noir Faineant]

*Rumble, rumble.*

Rather drastically, and without further introduction,
Justin the Bard steps out of the broom closet,
and, visibly battered and deranged,
takes a chair to sit down.

"Hi Egil. 'Twas a rather hard run to get into the house unseen."

 

[Voadam]

"Ah, Justin, good to see you again, we were just going over what we have each learned. I was getting worried what with Grok and some of the others still missing. Dogrynn unfortunately won't be joining us any time soon."

He turns to Logan.

"I'm sorry where did you know Lucius from? What search?"
