Pari and Garnet seem to recall that the Blue Ox is a small tavern inn located at the edge of the slums. It caters to laborers, docker workers, dung sweepers, and other commoners. Pari even remembers where the place is, about 30 minutes walk from the chapter house.

GM: Just waiting on Maia. Then I assume you will all gather together.
 

(OOC - Apologies. Spent the weekend wrestling with a virus. The virus won, so I had to nuke the site from orbit. It was the only way to be sure. Anyway, I'm back and catching up now. I'd intended for Maia to help investigate, but in the interest of brevity, it's probably best to assume her efforts, earnest as they may be, come to naught. She has good Diplomacy, but I am not sure what to have her ask at this point...and I've slowed things enough as it is.)
 


It is early afternoon, you have all gathered together at the chapter house to share what you have and have not learned.

GM: Okay, I will assume Maia asked similar questions as Ausk and you don't learn anything different. Now what are you going to do?
 

"Perhaps one or two of us that would be less conspicious should go ahead and blend into the crowd. Perhaps Heinrich and myself. That allows Maia and Garnet to possibly carry heavier weapons and demonstrate that Pari is not the gnome they seek while allowing some kind of surprise should they choose to be uncooperative. I can still take my spear as a walking stick for my limp, so I would have a decent weapon, and of course, Heinrich's main weapon is his magic. If I cover up my armor, I will blend in just fine with my limp, scars, and experiences in such places."
 

Garnet nods her approval of Ausk's plan. "We still have much time before sunset," she observes. "Perhaps we should check if the Father has finished his researches. Also," she adds as an afterthought, "If the Blue Ox is familiar to Madarius, perhaps he would be familiar to it. Perhaps we should ask the tavernkeeper there if he has heard of Madarius."
 

"Heinrich nods and says,"It sounds solid. Any prearranged topics of open discussion fur our valk about?"
