Intermission

(Robhim's stuff happened during the downtime, to be entered later.)

A response for the "kidnappers"

In the Wayfarer's Union message center, Doru (the son of the owner) bugged Robhim as usual, and revealed that he finally passed the Conjurer's Test to get into the Harpell Scool. Robhim's been visiting daily, looking for responses to letters that have been sent. There finally is a response: Regarding Maerae, we are given a key and direction. We are to deliver her to the Butterhouse Tavern's stables, where there will be another key that will unlock the drop box with our payment. It is signed "The Spellslayer".

Death of Myrtle

Meanwhile... Those on watch are patrolling the middle class residental district, and encounter a group of people congregating and muttering things. Dmitrii parts a path through the crowd (nonviolently). Inside, in Phil's lawn, is a sprawled and catatonic Shannon, red with blood. Next to himm is a dead Myrtle ("the Turtle"). The blood was not Shannon's but that of the must beloved and hugged after death Myrtle.

Shannon was accosted by a man from the shadows saying that he deserved "death for vile practice of the art". Nanlach, using tracking abilities, discovered that there were five people involved: two medium humanoids who did the attacking, and three who observed.

Shannon was led back to Scarletstone, along with Myrtle.

Some people tried to interrogate Phil (with whom Shannon was playing cards the previous night). This was a fruitless endeavor: Phil was too drunkenly passed out to have noticed anything, and his kitchen is a swampy mire of stale beer.

The Purists

Gather information! Robhim spent time in the Halls gathering information about The Spellslayer. It was revealed that someone else is currently working on a case involving that information, and that we're not alloewd it. Our information will be passed on to that person and he will be in touch with us.

Robhim meets up with everyone else as they come to the Halls to file the report about Shannon. With dwarvish boobies, Dookette gets the name of the person on the case: Smokin' Joe Harpell.

We go to Scarletstone as a group to let the family in on Maerae's kidnapping. Anonymous Harpell told us that Peekaboo, the preferred confidante, was missing, so we chose to talk to Niles instead. He understood the situation and said he would pass on the information to those who need it. He would also warn the family that someone is out to get them.
