Especially considering the fact that we are taking a train – which usually has a corresponding train yard. Now I don't remember exactly how we got there, but Mr. Carlyle's player and I thought the three women to be connected to the three Srasama aspects and he thought that if Elanor Janette's companion was indeed an Eladrin, there could be a chance that she's Kasvarina, who “tore herself into three” and therefore had no clue when she was abducted by Leone. Because, how many different Eladrin women could be out there? And this would mean that there could be a chance that Leone was about to enter the train as well and the train could be doomed to derail. Turns out we were completely off-track (hehe!) there and we still have no clue what the train vision could possibly mean. Besides the fact that it is likely connected to Srasama. </span></p><p><span style="color: #008000"></span></p><p><span style="color: #008000">Now I think I should maybe do a short write-up on our thoughts on the visions some time as many of them are still as cryptic as they were when Nevard shared them with Auryn... could be especially funny for those of you who know more about them.</span>)</p><p></p><p>Once we get to our compartment, Auryn hastily explains everything she got about Elanor Janette and her veiled companion. Carlyle understands that she's nervous, but would like to think this through with a clear mind. Auryn insists that she needs to know whether this woman is an Eladrin as she can't stand the thought of a sister who might be suffering right before her eyes. This leads to raised eyebrows from Carlyle who is curious whether his partner would only feel the need to help a “distressed damsel” of her own kind and whether the fate of a human or elven woman would be of no concern for her. </p><p></p><p>She'd totally help and feel sympathy towards other people, Auryn replies, but as a future matriarch and faithful member of her enclave it would be her duty on top of that to help an eladrin in need. After all, women like her are raised to become guardians and role models for her people. She totally understands that they are on a mission and cannot risk to blow their cover, but there has to be something they can do. Carlyle thinks about the whole situation for a moment, closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. Then he says “I understand. And I wish to help as well. But we need more information.”</p><p></p><p>Then we go on to discuss various means of gathering more information. We think about asking Malia Baccarin whether a hooded, unidentified person would cause a security problem, but Elanor has surely documents for her companion and bringing along slaves is not forbidden in the train enclaves. Auryn also suggests that she could play hide-and-seek with Taro, let the info slip that the veiled one might be a pirate in disguise and let the boy take a peek under the cloth as she knows that orcs can see quite well in the dark. Still this would require a decent opportunity. </p><p></p><p>This all in mind, we return to the rest of the train and decide to take a closer look at the dead dwarf before he's carried away at the next stop. Carlyle wishes to soothe his spirit as well, so we head to Malia and say that we are deeply concerned with the safety on the train now that someone died under such tragic circumstances. Malia replies that she's sure this was only an accident, but we explain that we're concerned his lingering spirit might curse this train and also our whole honeymoon. And we really don't wish to start our marriage with bad omens. We say that there is only one way to make sure the malevolent spirit won't haunt any of the passengers: A traditional cleansing ritual at the place where the dwarf died. As Malia Baccarin is pretty superstitious herself, she agrees to let us perform the ritual.</p><p></p><p>We claim that we first need to perform our rites at the dwarf's body and then look for signs of malevolent intent of the corresponding spirit which Malia agrees to as well. So we actually get our private time with the dead dwarf and find out that he was in quite a good shape before his untimely demise. We go on to perform an actual beran funeral rite (<span style="color: #008000">Thanks to Wolmi Heffanita we know how this works</span>) and then move to the snack counter where the guy died.</p><p></p><p>Once the train stops again, Malia Baccarin declares that this section of the train has to go through technical maintenance and she asks all other passengers to move to other compartments. Then Hector and Amira perform another sending rite which Carlyle totally uses to speak with the dwarf's spirit. The dwarf doesn't seem keen to tell us more about his mission, but Carlyle manages to find out that he was hired by a bookmaker in Nalaam to kill a fellow dwarf named Tantalovich. Seems like this Tantalovich had too much luck in the Casinos. The assassin is angered by his sudden death, but Carlyle convinces him that he's better off dying by accident than being killed by a better competitor. He also gets the impression that Tantalovich might be a luck mage, but he tells neither the spirit, nor his partner of his assumption. </p><p></p><p>After a while our ritual is finished and Malia Baccarin seems satisfied. We promise that the haunting presence will find peace now and return to our private compartment. </p><p></p><p>In the evening, we arrive in Cherage, the capital of Danor. We are pretty appalled by the ugly concrete blocks the Danorans call “houses” in this city, but are also fascinated by the blue glowing gas lanterns that are all over the place. Still we don't know whether or not the gas pipelines might pose a security risk. Damata Griento who knows pretty much about architecture and other structures shares our point of view. As we don't know where we'd like to sleep that night, we ask for passes for the rest of the city and pay the appropriate fee. For now, we decide to stick to the lobby of the enclave's “Maison Carlyle” where a lot of the other passengers seem to enjoy their drinks as well. </p><p></p><p>One by one, all people we'd like to observe take a room in the Maison, so we decide to do so as well. As the Fernandez are enjoying themselves by chatting with random guests, we see that Boone is in the mood for some flirting and even manages to find a nice young woman who accompanies him after sharing a few words and exchanging fiery looks. Hector tries to upset Boone's plans by loudly proclaiming that this cute girl isn't the first woman the Tiefling tried to pick up today, so he might be pretty desperate to get laid. His plan doesn't work as planned though as the woman seems very much interested in the handsome Tiefling and all he earns is Boone's enmity. </p><p></p><p>(<span style="color: #008000">And that's how Boone and Hector slowly but steadily turn into archenemies. As if they were made to hate each other... but seriously, both Hector and Carlyle just loathe pick up artists</span>) </p><p></p><p>As soon as Boone leaves, we move to our room and take a look at this strange city. To us, it seems almost eerily cold out there. Then we see a familiar sight as the Grientos take a stroll through the neighboring park and it looks like Damata is about to teach his kinds a bit about the local architecture. Soon we realize that trouble might be at hand, as there is also a group of thuggish looking locals hanging around, so we decide to meet up with our friends out there and support them just in case.</p><p></p><p>Our gut instinct turns out to be correct once again as the Danorans turn out to be a bunch of racist idiots who love insulting people who don't look like them as “foreign barbarians”. Damata doesn't want to get into a fight, so he tries to signal that he doesn't want trouble and retreats without showing signs of actual fear. As we expected, Pabo sees this as another of her dad's obvious failings, gets enraged and charges at the surprised Danorans. </p><p></p><p>Amira who anticipated such a reaction from the teenage orc intercepts her, grabs her by the arms and says that only an idiot runs into a fight she cannot win. She tells Pabo that she'll surely be a great warrior some day, but for now she's still too weak to be able to fight off superior numbers. And unless she'd wish to risk her future, she should better not play chances with her health or, worse, her life. </p><p></p><p>(<span style="color: #008000">We both knew exactly what Pabo was going to do. And the image of a crazy orc teen running towards a group of thugs was priceless. I really love Pabo, even if she came off as a bit annoying and bratty. But that's how teenage girls are. Dad, you're embarrassing!</span>) </p><p></p><p>Meanwhile, Hector turns towards the agitated and drunk danoran mob. He explains that there is no sense in trying to be overly defensive as both Grientos and Fernandez are just tourists from Ber who'd like to gaze at the cultural wonders of mighty Cherage. And that neither of them is keen on getting in a fistfight with the locals. So he appeals to the national pride of the certainly progressive and cultivated danoran gentlemen who'd surely rather see foreigners admire their culture than to destroy their image of a modern Danor. </p><p></p><p>Fortunately, both our actions are enough to convince the mob to retreat. The Grientos are grateful for our intervention and ask us to have dinner with them. </p><p></p><p>Amira takes the opportunity to address the fact that the name “Carlyle” is rather common in Danor while she's never heard of it in Ber. As she had hoped, Damata responds by sharing a bit of his grievance. He bought shares of the Avery Coast Railroad Company from a Tiefling named Michael Carlyle in Reo Pedresco and thought it'd be a good investment. But when he tried to sell some of them later, the traders didn't accept the deal. </p><p></p><p>As we know that the real Michael Carlyle is a human who's living in Flint, we offer Damata to take a closer look at his documents. Hector explains that he's quite used to analyze contracts and books as he's managing his publisher, so he'd be happy to help the fellow businessman. We express the fear that this shares could be fake at worst. Damata thanks us for the offer, but says that he'd wish to contact the local branch office of the ACR first. </p><p></p><p>After our dinner with the Grientos we return to the hotel to continue observation. Carlyle notes that Auryn is pretty good with kids like Pabo and Taro. A compliment she's glad to return. It turns out that both are quite experienced in dealing with children as Carlyle helped to raise generations of young Vantryses and Auryn is used to train and play with her enclave's younglings. </p><p></p><p>Once we are back at the hotel we witness how Elanor, her veiled companion and a person looking like a bodyguard enter a carriage and drive into the night. We take this opportunity to talk to the concierge who's standing nearby. We ask him about the women's whereabouts under the pretext of knowing “Senorita Janette” from our previous travel. It seems like we are hitting a nerve as soon as we mention the veiled woman as the concierge fears for “the poor girl's fate”. We offer him a few gold pieces for a somewhat extended service as we'd like to know a bit more about the “girl” in question which would require the man to go to the guest registry.</p><p></p><p>When he returns, we share a leaf of Nicodemus with him and he explains that the woman in question is a 30 years old eladrin named Isobel Traverse. Going by the direction of the carriage, he suspects that Ms. Janette is on her way to an exclusive residential area to maybe find a buyer for Isobel. We play surprised and shocked as slavery of all kind is strictly forbidden in Ber. The concierge goes on to explain that the Traverse are a wealthy danoran family who are offering their daughters as brides to noble families from time to time and receive quite enormous “gifts” in return. He adds that the Traverses are no eladrin, so it is unlikely that these girls are really their daughters.</p><p></p><p>We thank the man for his time and take a short stroll around the area. Once we are alone, Auryn is genuinely outraged. “She's only a child! How could they get their dirty hands on a child?!” she protests and explains that she wasn't allowed to even set one foot outside of her enclave without being accompanied by a troop of veterans when she was that age. </p><p></p><p>Carlyle sighs and then carefully states the thought that there might be a “fallen enclave” where daughters might be sold for money or power and that the Traverses might have gotten Isobel from such an arrangement. Auryn replies that this is impossible as only the mad kings would be crazy enough to actually do such depraved things and they all surely died in the aftermath of the Malice. He then suspects that the Traverses might be breeding eladrin children, but Auryn objects again as she explains that eladrin cannot breed with other humanoid species and that no sane eladrin would voluntarily participate in such a kind of breeding program. </p><p></p><p>(<span style="color: #008000">Seems like another archenemy appeared on the horizon. Come what may, but the Traverses have to be punished for what they did and still do and their eladrin victims need to be freed. The idea, even the possibility of an “enterprise” making money by breeding and selling members of her people disturbed Auryn to the core. Compared to this, even a depraved individual like Fordren was almost a saint. </span></p><p><span style="color: #008000"></span></p><p><span style="color: #008000">Carlyle on the other hand understood the eladrin's desperate situation for the first time as he didn't know about their inability to found families with other races. Also, he tried to lighten up her mood a bit by joking that maybe a deva might be sufficient for having children with an eladrin. Now who's teasing who again?</span>)</p><p></p><p>We return from our stroll to so a bit smalltalk with the nice concierge again. After a while, Hector asks the man to maybe take care of his wife for a few minutes as he left something important in our room and doesn't wish to get his dearest Amira bored by waiting all alone. He uses this pretense to sneak to the room of Elanor Janette (which is currently unoccupied as she left the hotel not so long ago), picks the lock of her door and enters the room. There he searches for more clues about Isobel and finds a purchase contract for the young eladrin, some drugs that smell much like Isobel had smelled when they met her in the dining car and a few hairs that do not belong to Elanor. He decides to take the hairs and leave the rest untouched.</p></blockquote><p></p>
[QUOTE="Lylandra, post: 7339652, member: 6816692"] [b]Researching the veiled one[/b] Session 20 ([COLOR="#008000"]Mr. Carlyle's player and I discussed some possible connections between Nevard's “train” vision and our current mission somewhen between the last and this session.
