Phyrric Legacy - Shackled City IC Thread

[Land Outcast]

As Dowlee kindly reads it aloud Remen lets out a comment when "below the cauldron" is mentioned "The sewers..."

At the mention of the reward, he rises an eyebrow A pretty penny... I'll have to ask around

OOC: Knowledge (local) +4, Any rumors of slaverings in Cauldron?

Arak frowns as he reads the riddle, clearly displeased.

"The gods spin mysteries for man to solve. The orphans will be saved and any officials who have betrayed their sacred trust will face justice. May I get a copy of this augury? It may be that its meaning becomes clear during the investigation."

 

[Legildur]

Flannad forgets himself for a few moments at the mention of so much gold. As he lifts his head in surprise and stretches it out from behind Remen to better focus on the situation, he stumbles slightly and finds himself more in the open gaze of Jenya than he would have liked.
'A chance to refill his empty pockets and do some good and sanctioned by the law! Yes please!' he thinks to himself as he nods silently in acceptance.

Let's see... she trusts in a mace to tell her where orphans are... Bha! let her be, the price is fair... Doors with teeth? traps... a thieve's hideout for sure

Remen nods and asks "Is it all? Should we be moving?"

If we start tonight the Last Laugh won't know about our intromision... or... the guards... they might already know about it, but I hope they aren't moving their pawns yet

Dowlee listens intently to the conversation, pondering the riddle. "Well, of course we'll help the children." She seems adamant about this idea and gives a look at Remen, her eyes like moons, orphaned children kind of got to her. <Orphans are small and vulnerable. You know I relate to them.> "Is there anything unusual about the orphanage locks? When the children were kidnapped, how was the lock broken?"

 

[Legildur]

"I know something about locks," Flannad chimes in meekly in the mixed company.

Arak frowns as he reads the riddle, clearly displeased.

"The gods spin mysteries for man to solve. The orphans will be saved and any officials who have betrayed their sacred trust will face justice. May I get a copy of this augury? It may be that its meaning becomes clear during the investigation."

Jenya nods and hands Arak the slip of paper. "Of course, you may keep this copy of the riddle. I have others."

(OOC: Sorry, Remen hasn't heard anything about any slaving activity going on in Cauldron. Oh, and by the way, I think you meant 'Last Laugh' rather than 'Night Masks, right? )

 

[Malvoisin]

Dowlee listens intently to the conversation, pondering the riddle. "Well, of course we'll help the children." She seems adamant about this idea and gives a look at Remen, her eyes like moons, orphaned children kind of got to her. <Orphans are small and vulnerable. You know I relate to them.> "Is there anything unusual about the orphanage locks? When the children were kidnapped, how was the lock broken?"

Jenya looks to Dowlee. "Here is what we know about the Orphanage. The building has barred windows and excellent locks protecting its doors. The children are locked into their rooms nightly to prevent any mischief from taking place. Apparently, there was no sign of any damage to the locks, much like all the other disappearances."

The priestess continues, "There are two common bed chambers on the second floor - one for girls, the other for boys. Two children were taken from each room. None of the other children and none of the resident staff heard or saw anything. Oh, and the names of the children apparently are Deakon, Evelyn, Lucinda and Terrem."

 

[Malvoisin]

"I know something about locks," Flannad chimes in meekly in the mixed company.

"Excellent, I'm sure your presence will be a great boon in this investigation, friend." Jenya fixes the shy gnome with a warm smile.
