He is starting to actually hate The Sorcerer, as opposed to just being annoyed that his enjoyment of the city has been interrupted. He is appalled at the amount of damage a simple beast could do. Destructive, sure, but this one was beyond normal world, both fiery and from beyond. The former could be explained with demonic influences, but the latter. The enemy is more dangerous than anticipated and his time difference is important. If he's binding fiends, the city cannot wait for ideal situation.He is interrupted from his musings with the tension between law keepers of the city. They are fractured into many different units, different prestige, different leaders, The Five have their own, the nobles too...each keeping the information for themselves to gain advantage or simply out of habit. He resists his natural instinct to posture and make speech to try and turn the lot into one. This must be addressed, but he needs more information both on the beast, on the fey that contacted them and how can he use it to unify the people. When he started preaching for Titania, he never expected to get more than a handful of hedonists and pranksters. This, potentially, is huge. But he would not promote unknown fey even if it professes allegiance.Loremaster smiles internally as he realizes he too keeps information to himself before acting. Making a quick list of needed research, items to do, he realizes it won't do to go into another fight as-is. He needs to cut down to the basics, heart, sleep and research.Getting to the alchemist shop, Spindles shop, he does some experiments, but leaves the heart in Spindles hands nodding to Vitus as he consecrated the area.[spoiler=Assuming Spindle agrees to research the heart]He makes the apothecary sign a quick form taking temporary ownership of the heart obliging him to make all information discovered about it available to Bluffside and The Exemplars."Spindle, this is dangerous stuff. Watch for regeneration, check for parasites, eggs contained within or any other irregularities within the tissue. You can use parts of the heart for your own purposes, but don't do massive damage in a sense the heart is essentially destroyed. I will come later tonight for initial results."OOC: a reminder that Akos rolled natural 20 for information about the heart and similar events that happened in stories, legends or history[/spoiler]He then sends a messenger with a note to the Temple district, Teachers Library, specifying what he needs readied in the library<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">fey thicket within the city</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">the well</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Rigantona</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">gates / shifts to Shadowstar sea</li> </ul>To the group, what little remained at the alchemist he offers"I need to rest and refresh my powers, clean up some and do some research on the events Sobla described. After Stormgrove manor, I'll go directly to Temple district. Oh, Sir Tymbek, I too can help with the shirt, but you need some of the same material to replace the burned off areas."Akos goes to prepare for rest, ritually cleaning himself before resting. As he awakes, he feels incredibly well rested and refreshed, the fight and fear and exhilaration of the epic fight combined to unlock something within, new insights into the powers of the universe.Thus refreshed, he takes time with Falen and Vincenco to identify items when opportunity presents itself.Greeting everyone he meets in the manor, he happily goes to the library to do some research.[OOC]Knightfall:  what do I need to roll? And how much to pay for research assistance? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Also, is there a place to buy warlock scepter and/or chasuble of fell power?Everyone: Akos isn't for destroying cold-iron weapons per se, for example, the artful weapon is deadly, but is still work of art - he would prefer it somewhere far away from himself, but it can be sold. Minor stuff, he would ask to be destroyed, and is willing to 'sacrifice' part of his loot value for that.We also need a ring of sustenance or some spells/scrolls/wands that do the same for that boy in the catacombs[/OOC]</blockquote>
