Despite Teth's woefully innaccurate interpretation of Helicrates dream, it does occur to you both that if the figures in the warrior's dream were The Queen of Dreams and Shadowthrone, then perhaps a brief sojourn to Temple Way when the opportunity arises might shed some light on these things....

OOC: The Queen of Dreams and Shadowthrone are Ascendents in the very crowded pantheon of this world, Shadowthrone is aspected to Shadow while the Queen is Life-aspected. You'd need to speak to someone with religious knowledge to learn more.
I'll post something more concrete a bit later.

The Plaza of the Houses was said to be the very heart of Kindle.

The cobbled square meticulously clean, with a visible presence of the City Guard. On each side of the square sit the Houses themselves, neat stone buildings that reach up several storeys. The architecture is simple, each House similar in appearance save for the brass plates describing whom resides inside.

Today, as the sun is high above, the Plaza is crowded. The City Guard are arrayed in groups, ignoring their usual guard positions and patrols around the Plaza. Outside the House of Manners a denser crowd has gathered, people murmuring to each other over sounds of a loud argument.

On entering the Plaza, Goble Fenn makes his way towards you with a pleasant grin on his round face.
"Ah! Fine friends!" he exclaims, "Come! What a vibrant day is to be had in the Plaza of the Houses!" And we have not even made it to the Assembly Hall on, aptly named, House's Argument!"
The fat merchant chortles at his own joke, and beams at you.

The argument ahead becomes suddenly louder, a woman shouts something. Goble turns to look at the crowd around them.
On closer inspection, the crowd is standing around two women and a man. The former are identical, one of whom is standing forward her face dark with fury. The latter is a tall wiry man, wreathed in black silks. He stands with care, light on his feet. He appears like a creature poised for flight.
"And what, Master of the Blades, is your explanation here?!" shouted the woman, jabbing a finger at the man, "Your assassins have come into our temples! They have taken lives of innocent acolytes!"
Despite the anger on her face, the woman is quite beautiful. Olive skin and raven black hair that cascades down a white robe. The woman standing behind her looks exactly like her, save for a dour expression on her face. Her robes are dark grey and in a poorer state than the others'.
"Mmmm...look there sirs, the gentle healer Phaedra is ready to rip his..er..ahem..throat. And her sister simply stands silent..D'rek cares nought for our losses..." mumbles Goble, watching the argument with interest.

OOC: Again, I am sorry for the delay. Now...could I have some Notice checks please!

 

[perrinmiller]

Durzo enters the Plaza and looks around for his friends, joining them and Goble once he finds them.

<<OOC: Not sure if we are all together or not.
Notice Check (1d20+11=15)>>

OOC: Yet more apologies. This assumes you all managed to meet up with other in the Plaza - your smart chaps (well..Teth is ) I figure you managed to get together before Goble comes over

 

[Friday]

Phaedra's voice rises higher.
"Who put these contracts out?!" she shrieks, "Answer me, assassin!"

A tall grey-haired man, his face lined, with spectacles balanced on the end of his nose pushes gently through the surrounding crowd. Wearing a thick red coat that brushes the floor, dressed in simple but finely made clothes, he approaches the priestess. On seeing him, the rage in Phaedra's face subsides somewhat. The older man leans in and mutters something that can't be heard. Phaedra nods slowly, then murmurs something in response.
"Perhaps this discussion is better suited to the floor of the Assembly" Phaedra says, her voice calm, "Master Assassin, if I could speak with you there?"
The man in black silks nods once and strides away, back to the squat stone building that is home to the House of Blades. The crowd quickly clears out of his way. Phaedra is led gently by the robed man, followed closely by her sullen sister.

Next to you, Goble nods as though in agreement.
"Ah yes, the wise Master Glim" he says, jerking his head in the direction of the old man and the priestesses, "A sensible head on those wizened shoulders I'd say...."

OOC: This is just more scene-setting....not the result of your Notice checks yet!

Teth quietly watches the argument. Neither interested in, nor paid by any side.
