Qoll absently ate his breakfast in silence. "Where do the children take their breakfast?" he finally asked.

Old Fezziwig
Thanks for the sour persimmons, cousin.
Sando: The room is modestly furnished, with a number of large, round tables. Each table has a number of chairs around it, although most of them are not big enough for a full grown human and are probably too small for a full grown gnome. Halflings and Canis probably would feel the most comfortable in them. There are three doors, two leading out into the orphanage's main hallway and another leading back into the kitchen. As you get closer to the kitchen, you can feel the heat from the stove. During the late winter, this room is probably very comfortable.
For the rest of you: Gretchyn smiles at Liandra and scarfs up another piece of ham. "Well, it could be that your security was unnecessary, or it could be that you scared off any problems. We'll never know, and I don't really care to know. And, no, you were no problem for the kids." She gives a warm grin, head tilted, tongue lolling. She flicks her ears back and forth. "Perhaps I could interest one of you — it is a lot to ask — in staying here to help and serving as added security?"
Hu'ka blinks a couple times, his ears flatten back against his head in thought and you can hear a squeaky groan as he contemplates this. After a little while, he smiles, and says, "Well, yesssss, I'd be happy to. I'm sssure that the Church of Cuthbert would undersssstand."
Gretchyn smiles. "Wonderful! As for where the children eat, they should be here soon, Master Eroe." As soon as she says this, you hear a cough and see Patch, the half-orc, standing at the entrance to the room. He nods towards Gretchyn. She excuses herself and heads out of the room.
Vorik: The half-orc returns directly with a fairly old, maternal looking canis. "Yes, my friend. I've been told you wish to speak with me?" Her eyes widen at your acid scarred hands.
Qoll: As Gretchyn and Patch leave the room, you feel a quick twinge and see a flash of ruby light. When it's gone, you can hear the following words in your head:
OOC for Qoll: The Ruby Chapel is the mother church of Wee Jas in the Reach and Krejzack is the high priest there. A nice man, he's previously stopped in Cauldron one or two times to speak with your parents and you remember him as a nice and honorable man. You've never heard of Carson Ambercrown.
OOC: There it is. I apologize for finessing Hu'ka like that, but we can't have phantom PCs trotting around. The sooner you all respond, the sooner I will.
Edit: Edited in a response to Qoll's question.

"Ye, ye yes ma’am. (Nervously). My employers are deeply troubled by the disappearances in the city and feel for the loss of the children.
I am here to uncover what I can about these strange events that trouble us…and assist you with anything you may need. I am Vorik. (Vorik bows, apparently starting to get over his nervousness.)
Are the other children well?"

Liandra delicately places her now empty glass and plate back on the table, and turns to face her comrades refreshed and reinvigorated.
'So, what's our next course of action, fellows? Can anyone think of any leads that we should try investigating? It seems as though the orphange is secure for now...'

"I would like to question the child that had a nightmare that night. What if they were awakened and think what they saw was a bad dream?" Sando says to Liandra.
Not really trusting the the available chairs to hold his bulk, Carrach sits on the floor, noisily gulping down his choice of breakfast in the usual way, ie. without any civilized table manners at all.
When he grows aware of the disgusted stares, Carrach guiltily tries to copy his more civilized companions, especially Liandra.
After the meal, his thoughts return to what has been on his mind during the entire night.
"The fact remains that somebody got in here without leaving any traces. If the keys are accounted for, either someone let them in or they relied on sorcery.
Also, other people within the city have turned up missing. If I remember it right, the high priestess agreed to have a list ready today. Perhaps we should take a look to see if there‘s anything connecting them."
"Still, there is something about the keys!", Carrach whispers to himself.

'Hmmm... now that is interesting, Carrach. How likely do you think it would be for a group like us to recieve an audience with the high priestess?'

"We are, ostensibly, working for her directly. I would think we could secure an audience fairly easily." Qoll spoke too quickly, and stuttered slightly. After a controlled breath he continued slowly and deliberately. "However, I think it would be more beneficial to meet the children, and interview the staff."

'Very well Qoll, would you like me to have a word with the children whilst the rest of you further interview the staff? I'm sure the little ones would be frightened by the appearance of too many new faces at once, and they may be more responsive to a feminine approach.'
