[QUOTE="Express, post: 1633941, member: 19166"] [B]2. The Investigation[/B] The next day, as could be expected, I had a hangover. I shuffled downstairs. Everyone was there. Anvil was watching the window. Dorbo was cleaning up the chaos from the previous night. Bynara was at the desk, toying with the gnoll paw. She informed me the Watch had collected the corpse. The blood stain was even gone. They hadn't asked too many questions, looked to them it was a straightforward robbery. I doubt the Watch looked too hard though. Bynara had asked their opinion of the paw- they thought it may have been a gang symbol, but those kind of fashions change rapidly. That goblin didn't look like a Lower Depths gang member to Bynara. Didn't to me either. I was also told Anvil had spent the night carefully studying the paw. It was quite mundane, no magic detected. So Bynara had a new plaything. Hennet's address was located in a "new" tower district, a section that had been built upon older exchanges and markets so prosperous merchants and bureaucrats could live a bit higher from the working classes in style. Sharn is after all called the City of Towers. Life is vertical as well as horizontal, and social climbers like to literally move up. A visit to a well-to-do neighborhood meant Bynara and I would need to dress up, look respectable. She would have to shed the bare midriff look. And I would have to pull out the vestments. Now we all have a past, secrets, embarassments. Bynara, for instance was a ranger in the Eldeen Reaches. Got into some trouble she never talks about, now she's a city girl. Anvil was buried in the ground for several years until Dorbo found him. He has little memory of his past. Dorbo dyes his hair red to disguise his age. He was a librarian in Korranberg until he got interested in magewrightery. I am a slightly ex-cleric of the Sovereign Host. Not that it was my choice. I have my mother to thank. I am the youngest of seven children. My mother was a born Medani. She was a force of nature, prideful, intelligent, beautiful. A true dragonmarked scion, and favorite cousin of Baron Trelib. My father died in a shipwreck before I was born. Both were true half elves. I am human, even the ears. Before my fathers death, he had been from home for nearly a year. My mother had had a not too secret affair with a human knight. When my birth approached, my mother, guilty over the affair, my father's death, and fearful of dishonoring his name, went into seclusion. I was born in secret, and with my evident humanity was placed in the care of the Church. To the rest of the world, I had died at birth. I learned everything. Seminary,divine magic, and martial studies. I was cloistered and knew little of my family or true name. It took the death of my mother and her will for my identity to be revealed. The intercession of the Baron himself avoided scandal. There are some who don't approve of me, even the Baron, I think, but I dont care. However, I didnt really appreciate my situation. I was 16 when I was legitamized. Free of the church's discipline, I rebelled. I was an idle, drunken, whoring rebel. For several years. Again it took the pull of the Baron to give me a last chance, so here I am. The funny thing is I'm still legally a cleric, a warrior of the Church. I have little real spiritual authority, but I'm knowledgable with things divine. Being a Medani, and living in Breland, as long as I don't do anything too stupid, there won't be a problem. So I dressed in the robes of the cleric, found the Holy Symbol. I take the outfit seriously. Its just my role I'm still unsure off. I met Bynara at the front dooor. She had changed into a courtier pattern dress, light green perfect for summer. She looked good. Shifters usually got weird looks even in Sharn. In her outfit, she would blend in, which was the point. We hailed a sky coach and headed off. [/QUOTE]
