Kiss of Darkness: Part 1--A Hint of Shadow

[Bront]

"I got four names and professions, and I don't see an immediate link between them other than they are human, but most of the city is human, so that may mean nothing."

Val shows the lists she has:
Ander Kaillo, Merchant Noble
Leina, Priestess of Selune
Lom Grannock, Veteran
Jhyrden Fair, Fencing Instructor

 

[Nonlethal Force]

"Perhaps the all worked in association with the kidnappers? The noble merchant dealt in wares that the kidnapper sold or bought, the priestess was frequented for healing often, the veteran and the fencing instructor were once comrades at arms?"

"Or perhaps they were all associated with a particular object or place?"

 

[Bront]

"I'm not sure, but perhaps we can find out if Ander Kaillo had a warehouse?" Val suggests. "At least that's less random that what we're trying now."

Rhaka allows a slight smile to cross her face. "I nominate you to get that information. You seem to be on a role, here."

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Let me know if Val goes to do that )

Val nods, "Looks like that's me."

Val heads off to find the dockmaster. This time, she finds a dark corner and shifts her looks to appear a bit older and sea weathered, and dons the bandana to keep her salty, frizzy hair out of her face.

*Val checks around at taverns and with any contacts she can find, and she is eventually able to determine that Ander Kaillo handles the local affairs for his father Sarlarin Kaillo, who does own several warehouses along the docks. There's only one such warehouse in the area that Val and friends considered to be the most likely trajectory, a warehouse that serves the Kaillo general goods store 'Sarlarin's Sundries'.*

Verra stayed with Baeleth and Rhaka, happy to be of some help . . . and if not, happy to be in the city and exploring. Her eyes became distant every now and then as she waited for Lady Valerie to return with news.

"Perhaps the all worked in association with the kidnappers? The noble merchant dealt in wares that the kidnapper sold or bought, the priestess was frequented for healing often, the veteran and the fencing instructor were once comrades at arms?"

"Or perhaps they were all associated with a particular object or place?"

“I was thinking along those lines myself...though perhaps they were all comrades at some point in the past. A band of adventurers perhaps, as they seem to have a good mix of skills for such a venture, if you include those we’ve found as well. Hmm, if this lead doesn’t pan out, maybe we should try and find the church where the priestess served, as they might know if she spoke of or knew others on the list or those we have found ourselves,” Baeleth offers pensively.

Val returns, waving to Verra as she spots her from a distance. When she returns, she shares her information. "Haven't we seen a 'Sarlarin's Sundries' before?"
