[sblock=OOC]Sorry guys - I'm stymied here as far as what to do. I'm probably missing some fairly obvious action, but I just don't see it right now. I'll keep my eyes open, though.[/sblock]

Jalil simply stands at the back of the room, shifting his gaze between the paintings and the artest in a kind of horrified wonder. Is my conviction as strong as this man's is? Or is it conviction that's driven him to this?
 

Isandra tries to get a good look at the other paintings but the dark shadowy corners within the cell make it very difficult to make anything out. The painting the crazed painter is currently flinging paint at looks quite abstract and simply the results of him throwing paing upon the canvas.

The painter slows his flinging of paint as Karasu compliments his paintings, causing the man to finally stop painting and fall silent, a slight rocking from side to side. He replies, "Enter? No, no, master says no. I need a favor, yes I need a favor, then you look at my paintings." the man replies looking off into space.

He then continues, his gaze staring back at your through the cell door. “Friends! Did the Master send you? Yes, he must have. Praised be he who ends the days! Do you seek my secret? Soon enough—but in return I ask something from you. You must give it to me as I need it to complete my collection.” He points to two paintings hung in a shadowy corner of his cell, their art hidden by the shadows. A third canvas hangs next to them, closer to his current work, but is blank. “If you go outside this very prison you’ll find a statue covered in gold. You may have already seen her! Describe this statue to me in exquisite detail and I will tell you all I know.”
 

"I think I can do that." she tells her companions. Before going off she gets closer to the cell and casts Light "...This might help you to work better... even for just a while" she sighs and walks off. The man really does seem to have lost it.

She will take care on getting most of the details of the statue and then goes back.
 


Isandra casts her spell and the crazed painter shrieks "The light! The light! I am blinded!" as he covers his eyes with his arm and totters into an easel sending it crashing to the floor. The noise startles him and sends him tottering in the other direction sending a pile of seemingly blank canvases across the cell floor. The crazed painter steps away from there, his foot falling on a canvas which goes sliding out from under him sending him to the floor where he rolls about, his arm still covering his eyes. His rolling about slows as his eyes finally adjust to the light. "The statue, the statue details please!"

With the crazed painter finally settling down, his arm still half hiding his eyes, Isandra goes back up to the prison entrance, words from Garver to the guards outside the door granting her free access to and from the prison for the time being.

Just outside the prison gates Isandra finds the statue, it is hard to miss. A golden seven foot tall statue sits atop a three foot tall stone base. The statue depicts a curvy Taldan female with short hair and wearing flowing robes open at the neck. She has a blank, uncaring expression on her face. Faint moons decorate her flowing robes and she crushes a set of scales beneath her left foot.

If someone else wanted to accompany Isandra, feel free to assume you were able to do so. Anyone that did accompany her, including Isandra should make a perception check please.

Assume easy admittance back to the crazed painter and feel free to describe what you saw to him.
