Night's Embrace: Part 1--A Touch of Darkness

(OOC: Hooray Favored Enemy bonus!

At the very least, Titus isn't planning to go into the warehouse alone. Once he's noted which warehouse it is, he'll see about finding the others before he acts on his findings. Shan and Sulannus went back into town to meet the guards, yes? So I'd guess Kel (and Blunt?) are closest in terms of meeting back up. He'll start there. Depending on timing, S&S may already have returned with information of their own.)

 

[Legildur]

Blunt decides to shadow Kel during his gathering of information. But takes the lead from the young man who had saved their lives in that he stays out of any discussions Kel enters into. But he is there as protection if need be.

As Titus does his thing, Sulannus accompanies Shan to one of the guards and nods in recognition.

"This will sound unusual, but have you personally seen or heard...or perhaps have heard rumors of from other guardsmen...anything unusual from the warehouses in that area there?" She points at the area they're reasonably sure the warehouse to be in, and twirls it to show it to be a general one.

"It could be...odd lights, or sounds. Chanting or colors that no lantern could make. I realize it sounds like a strange question, but at least one life could be at stake. Please try to remember."

*Kel gathers information as best he can. After several hours of questioning everyone who will hear him out and respond, he has not found anyone who has seen the Hedge Mage in this area, although it becomes clear to those to whom he speaks that Kel is looking for the Hedge Mage as if he expects to find him here. Then again, Titus is still tracking, so Kel has time to try again.*

*Sulannus's enquiries receive even more funny looks and raised eyebrows, as well as definitive 'No's from everyone she asks. 'If I saw something like that, I'd be spooked that the warehouse was haunted and have already told everyone,' one person points out.*

When Kel sees that he's not going to have any luck, he decides to go and find the ranger.

Taking care not to cross the ground Titus is searching, he says, "Hi, Titus. Have you found anything yet? Can I help?"

Then, noting Titus' scowling concentration, he adds, "Or should I just stay out of your way?"

(OOC: At this point, Titus won't have found it yet )

"We should head back to the guardpost and see if they've come up with something for us," Shan says after Sulannus has asked her questions.

 

[Shayuri]

Sulannus, by now a bit sour from having people look at her funny, nods. "Very well." She pauses, then adds, "This time you do the talking."

[SBLOCK=S&S]*As they reenter the guard post, a guard recognises them from before and brings them a sheet of paper with a list:*

These are the people who have gone missing that we know of. There's probably more among the faceless poor.

Ander Kaillo, Merchant Noble
Leina, Priestess of Selune
Jhyrden Fair, Fencing Instructor
Lom Grannock, Veteran
