Black and red. Black and red spheres or circles. Hmmm... Luna stands up and walks over to Megara. Red and Black; does that have any significance, seer?

Kaeso talks to himself in a low voice, trying to figure out the riddle. "An unholy basement... beneath a holy place? So where is there holy ground in the city? Assuming of course we were held in the city at all... A church? Maybe somewhere in the temple district. Or is there sanctified land in the graveyards? ... Red and black? Maybe the colors of some local sect." Unfortunately, the Tarsisian soldier had little knowledge of Ptolus, or its associated religions (other than the main branch of Lothian).
ooc: Sorry about the delay in posting. I'm having some trouble getting into the game; I'm not really used to something hugely open-ended like this.

Megara nods at Kaeso. "What Luna is talking about sounds like a holy symbol, and what I saw seems to be holy ground, so the Temple District may be the best place to look for clues, especially if this is a symbol for a small cult. Of course there are also small chapels and religious groups throughout the city, just not so many in one area like they are in the Temple District."

Davian listens intently to the conversation. Upon hearing the symbols and colors, he searches his memory for any religion he can think of that uses such things.
ooc: Figured I could at least try lol
Knowledge (religion) check. Post #145 (1d20+1=16)

Davian: Nothing that you can recall. It might not be a popular faith.

Davian shrugs his shoulders. He never did have a very good memory.

The group decides that the best option may be to try the Temple District for clues. But they stop by the nearby district gate as Megara suggested and sure enough they find an old friend of theirs, Sithalaphis Tsal the assarai and his pet monitor lizard. Sithalaphis is arguing with a beggar who won't leave him be when he sees you and does the closest approximation of a smile that his species is capable of.
OOC: Introducing Scotley's character.
Now together, the group catches up as they talk and heads towards the Temple District. The Temple District is as much of a boisterous mosaic of anything that exists in the city. Although the Lothian Temple is by far the most magnificient, and is your destination, there seems to be large temples to gods of technology, luck, the sun, and more. There are even small chapels to lesser known and popular gods, such as those to slime, insects, and even a new one to two intersecting circles forming an infinity-type symbol.

Davian smiles at the many churches in this region. He always did find this district somewhat amusing. It amazed him how some of the people were fanatical about their god, even the lesser ones. "Where is it we are going again?

"A good question. Our search has been narrowed down to holy ground with an unholy basement. And we should keep an eye open for a red and black holy symbol. It wouldn't do for us to search every temple in the city... first of all, because it would take forever, and secondly, because there's still a bounty on our heads. Well, at least some of our heads." Kaeso pauses to think of a plan.
"Well, perhaps Luna, Morty and I should find ourselves a disguise if we're going to be investigating anything on the open streets. We could get some new clothing at the least, or at best a magical disguise. After that, we need to find out something about this Red-Black symbol, and perhaps rumors of an evil corruption in any of the temples." Now where can we get clothes in this district? It's not like the local monks have need of clothing shops... wait a minute.
"Perhaps we could relieve the local priests of some of their long robes. I doubt we would face many questions as a band of monks with our faces hooded."
ooc: I suggest our next step is to gather information. We need to find out about this cult or whatever it is, then track its members down and "interrogate" them.
Deuce: Kaeso will be looking for an opportunity to gather some flowing black robes, with hoods. He'll look mainly for a tailor's store, or a bathhouse, or a temple's changing room... things like that.
