Me and me lads only have to worry about 3 other murders that happened last night around here and keep the Orc-scum from rioting” With that he orders one of his men to go fetch a stretcher to take poor Warty Pete over to the ‘black pier’. The priest huffs a bit and turns back to Black Jack “Well then, my name is Father Finnegan Reel. I must attend to poor Pete here, but do come over to the last pier on these docks… they are hard to miss as they where painted black by some morbid dock workers, who thought it was fitting or some such thing. Hmm oh… well now… I have never hired a ‘troubleshooter’ before… what is the going rate… what say you to 50 gold crowns?” About then Fentrith Fade pushes forward and after listen to his reply the father seems to think for a moment “Ah yes a servant of Harrimast, well meet to you sir priest. Well now I can’t really say why I got this feeling of dread, but the workers out on the Crematorium are very responsible, and why Father Golmon would have no such shenanigans on his watch. We only have a small shire here on the docks where we can store bodies for a short time only. This is why they have to be collect each and every morning for transportation to the island. Also we do have carrier pigeons that are used to commutate back and forth with in case of emergencies or such, but they have send my no replies to my inquest. I just know that with the blessing of Wee Jas, something bad is a foot. But anyway I must attend to poor Pete here. Good day to you sir priest.”After Father Reel has moved off the Sergeant turns back to Jack (and glances at Fentrith Fade) and says in somewhat a low voice (that the both can hear) “Iffin you an some other mates wants to go check the tombs out and the priest is willing to pay you hard coin, I be a happier man fer it. The lads they be a suppositious lot and they would not be to happy to be a going out there… especially this late in the day, with the storm rolling in tonight… ye probably with have to spend the night out there, and well it would take more mead then I could afford to get the men to stay overnight. So while I can’t offer ye any help in manpower, I can offer ye a boat. The Watch has a couple fer when we have to go check on the other islands and I could a sign it out to ya… Sergeant Yodel by the way.” he yells at one of the other Watch members “Markus, get ye tail over to the Watch Pier and arrange fer one of de boats to be down at the black pier pronto… well get the lead out you droopy eyed bastrad”Black Jack sense motive, Priest seems pretty nervous… maybe worried, but you can’t really get a good ‘read’ off of him. Against the sergeant, who seems honest enough but is also not overly easy to read. For Fentrith Fade, as you are talking with the Priest you also get a bit of an odd feeling off of him, as if he might be not telling everything he know… could be any number of reasons but he is defiantly holding something back. To Fentrith, the sergeant seems pretty honest and not holding anything back… it does seem that the Watch is very nervous. NOTE that for some of these I am going to keep the result secret… so not telling you what you rolled. SECOND NOTE while the day is still fairly sunny, dark storm clouds are rolling in and it will probably rain fairly hard by early evening.[OCC D'oh TOTALLY sorry Black Jack... for some reason I changed ALL of those over to Tom <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /> must drink more coffee]</blockquote>
