Kaarlo is hanging around on the fringe of the party as it walks. Unsure of what is next as he continues to scan the enviroment (looking for ambushes etc.) as paying close attention to the new gentleman is redundant.

As you reach headquarters, you notice that there are far more guards active than usual, all with weapons at the ready. They open the gates to let you in, and Hannah, standing in the courtyard, explains:
"Much has ocurred since you were away. A few large fires have been spotted in the city, and there are rumors of numerous violent incidents. Several leading citizens are unaccounted for and rumored to have been killed, and a few celebrations have turned into enormous melees with groups of powerful thugs, including some bearing the symbol of Anubis. At least two festhalls have been destroyed entirely by explosions. The plague spread pretty fast, but the guard has it under control now. They have captured very few of the assassins, however, altouhgh the paladin Texter led a counterattack that defeated a large group of Anubis vampires that attacked their celebration."
Looking to Arundel: "We have taken in many wounded, both from among our own men and from locals. We could use some help in there.
Looking at Kiran: Well, at least someone had a good time tonight. The infirmiry is too full of people who really need the help, so perhaps we can find her a couch somehwere."

Kaarlo puts a friend hand on Jornac's shoulder, "that is far enough young man. These people will take care of her now. You have done your gentlemenly duty. Jornac why don't I escort you back to your home or place of residence. While I am sure you can take care of your self, having a...friend by your side can be most comforting."
OOC:
Would Alethia know the gods in opposition to Annubis? +7 Knowledge religion.
Alethia looks at Fin. "I have some skills at healing and I also have a wand of cure light wounds. If you wish, I can help out there, unless you have something else for me to do?" she grinned. "You really don't want me bored. It's scary."

He's creepy but plays an important role in Mulhorandi myth. Most good-alighned non-Mulhorandi religions are not so pleased with his kind, however, and there are persistant rumors that his followers have assocaited with the likes of Myrkyl, Cyric, Bane, and Shar.

Arundel looks to Fin as well. He nods. "Both of you, go with Hannah - do what you can. And check them." His fingers make little beetly movements by his face for a moment.
Arundel nods and makes ready to follow Hannah. "A moment, though," he adds, retrieving several ornate gold coins bearing Waukeen's image from a pouch. "Things seem secure enough here..." Though as he says this, his eyes flick briefly to Jornac.
He casts the coins on the ground, and examines the pattern they form.
OOC: Omen of Peril - 84% chance of giving a true indication of the level of danger for the next hour or so... /OOC

"If they're real arms but from three hundred years ago, I don't think I want to know," Fin replies. "I'm loathe to let him inside the gates, with a verified evil aura..."

[Omen is that there is possible moderate to severe danger, depnding on how things go]
Suddenly, a carriage bearing the crest of the noble family Thann is seen hurtling towards your compound. The Thann family had retained three of your best agents to protect them at a large, outdoor celebration they were holding. Two of those are clearly visible: "Deadeye" Dalin, a sniper and scout tasked with watching the crowd from the rooftops, is sitting next to the driver. Durodan, a nine-foot-tall dark-purple skinned mountain of half-oni muscle is rrunning beside the carriage. His job was to be the visible security presense, his enormous srowd and small white vestigial horns making him especially scary. He keeps his literal inner-demon in check through mediatation, but will occasionally let it loose some to fuel a mighty rage (Alt Barb rage ability explanation).
The carraige gets into the courtyard and stops. Members ot the Thann family, most notably the famous bard and rumored Lord Danilo and his elderly parents, exit the carriage unhurt, as well as Sharna, one of Madam Mirna's cortesans who happened to be born with the gift of sorcery. She was to be Danilo's date as well as guard.
Sharna explains "Three assassins attacked the Thann's tonight at their party. Goot thing they didn't see dalin on the roof. He signaled us. As soon as they put their plan in the motion, Dallin shot and killed one of them and I blinded with glitterdust another as he drew his poisoned dagger to stab Danilo, and then we subdued him without much trouble. The other broke off his attack and ran, but was intercepted by Durodan."
As she says that, the huge half-ogre pulls two tied up men out of the carriage. One is bleeding from his mouth and nose and has a very broken arm, the other has a pair of arrows in his thigh, very red eyes, a stab wound in the shoulder, and several burn marks on his chest. Likely the first was the one that ran into Durodan, and the second was stabbed, shot, and scorching rayed by Danilo, Dalin, and Shara, respectively.
"These may be useful to you, boss," Durodan says, addressing Fin.
Meanwhile, Jornac is still here.
