He may not know the city like Danth, but he knows how to eke out information. He starts chatting with a few of the older kids, and from them learns of a few urchins in the Shadow who ply the trade (pick pockets and the like) and have their ear to the street. A few coppers, a few ales, and he finds out a little more.They are all full of stories of merchants, politicians, crooked guards, and moneylenders showing up dead - their bodies mutilated, faces missing, and chests carved with seven-pointed stars - seem to be on everyone’s lips, just as it seems that every week brings a new victim to light (and of late, much more often than that!). What they can tell you is that the crime scenes are now tightly controlled by the city government, and it would be very difficult to get access to one without raising all sorts of questions (and perhaps worse). The government also seems edgy. Oh, and this is nothing to do with any of the plain vanilla organised crime gangs!As for Aldern's townhouse - well that took a bit more digging, and a few silvers to one of the most willing of the footpads. The young disappeared into the city, with promises to rendezvous in a few hours. He was true to his word. There may be no honour among thieves, but money talks, and he takes his three silver coin payment before revealing a single word.The townhouse is located in the Grand Arch District, not far from Starsilver Plaza. Its facade faces a small courtyard in which stands a fountain consisting of four pools, each fed by one of four long-necked iron wyvern heads. Aldern’s townhouse hasn’t been lived in for months, although it seems that the nobleman still owns the property. Since he’s not yet been declared dead, the building has stood empty for that time. He has paid up for a full year protection from the local crew, so the place should have remained untouched, even when empty. That is the weird thing though. The youth swears that he took a peak through a few of the windows and the place looks ransacked inside. Good thieves don't leave a mess like that - it is like someone went through there in a hurry!!!Not bad for a morning's work and a few coins. Jovik returns to his companions by 11am and reveals what he has learned.OOC: I NEED YOU ALL TO LEVEL UP TO LEVEL 6 FOR THE START OF THIS PART OF THE ADVENTURE PLEASE. Danth - please feel free to drop that healing touch thing and pick another, as discussed. I am also happy with any regular class and feats as long as it would not require you to go away for 6 months to do learning (e.g. no multi-classing to monk or wizard as it would require too much time out in-game to make it work). Any official source is fine (Paizo, Wizards). I will consider others, but only if not overpowered.I will be back in 1 week. I am completely without the internet until then.</blockquote>
