Keleem recounts the morning, trying to speak to Asterion but his wandering eyes frequently turn his head toward Ravastine. A laid back breakfast, walk through the Devonion Gardens{located near fine nobel houses, it has occasional patrols you chase out peasants] They perused the high end market, Keleem picks out a few details of interesting things for sale, before his stop at the temple. "I paid my alms and that's the last thing I remember. I'm sorry" His details are lacking in many areas. It unclear you whether, he is lying but there are things he is leaving out, instead replacing them with mundane details. "I can't imagine anyone caring enough to go to this much work to kill me. A well-placed blade is enough to kill most. Muhal didn't even need the blade.

I will assume Uhlskah and Kirrain are heading back to the temple with Lia.

((That sounds good to me. Unless you have something else Kirrian brings the girl back to have her checked out and give her story.))
Jul 21, 2015 3:35 pm
Yup - to the temple. Let's unsplit the party!
Jul 27, 2015 4:59 am
Asterion nods in response to Keleem's account and thanks him. The mystery is n nearer to clarity than it was hours ago. He is now even more anxious to hear back from Kirrian and Uhlskah.
Jul 27, 2015 10:52 pm
Kirrian and Uhlskah arrive with Lia at the temple.
(I don't feel like doing a fancy description of this :P )

As Kirrian arrives back at the temple he grabs the nearest guardsman he can find and tells him to round up more men and begin searching for Lia's mother as his bodyguard escorts the girl up the steps. He follows quickly behind.

"Asterion, wha'ave we learned'?!"
Jul 29, 2015 4:02 pm
Uhlskah puts a brave face on things, as if it were perfectly normal to come back from a reconnaissance mission with a frightened girl in tow. He walks into the temple behind Kirrian whistling to himself.
Jul 29, 2015 10:46 pm
"Not much here, I'm afraid. I hope you've better - what's this?!" Asterion exclaims as he registers Lia.

"Lass's name's Lia. She wa'ere when the attack 'appened. She blames 'erself bu' doen'a know why or how. She is was 'bou'ta do 'erself some harm. Figure' bring 'er 'ere an' see if any t'ing shook loose."

Ravastine towers over the girl, unsure whether to expect street rat antics, or whether she should encourage trust. She decides to try to handle both.

She thumps her hard armour. "We can handle most things, Lia. See this armor, it's made for deflecting most anything that someone might swing at me. I know you're scared, but if you're scared of something, tell us about it so we can deal with it. And these men, "she says gesturing at Asterion, Uhlskah, and possibly Kirrian, "are quite skilled in surprising ways." She kneels down to be eye to eye with the girl. "We'll keep between you and what's scaring you. Would you like that? To be under our protection?"
Aug 8, 2015 5:56 pm
Lia - "I... suppose." She breathes in, and lets it all out. "Yes. I would appreciate that.
My mother doesn't have armour, and she went to see the Alchemist, with fire in her eyes. The one who gave my sister medicine. She was sick. Armour can't protect from poison, or what is already inside."

Asterion nods his approval at Kirrian's decision to bring the girl, and his appreciation at Ravastine's approach. The paladin is proving herself a valuable asset indeed! The kubi studies the girl Lia, weighing her words, reading her face. He also glances in Keleem's direction to see if there's any sign he knows Lia or this Alchemist.
OOC: Do any of us know who this Alchemist is? Sounds like someone Equitas and Kirrian would be keeping tabs on.

Asterion recognizes the name 'The Alchemist'. He has never seen him, but has encountered the name here and there in other reports as if he were a ghost. Someone of higher authority might know more.

Lia has no intent to hide anything from Kubi before her, though she falls short in knowledge. She is scarred, though calmed by the people around her, and words spoken. Keleem had a moment for recognition pass his face at hearing 'the Alchemist', before hiding it, at your glance. He begins a slow rolling up of his bedding while keeping an ear out.

Lia "I went there only once, saw my sister take the medicine, mother must have gone there."

(Do you mean Equitas and Kirrian?)

OOC: scarred by the people around her, or scared? Did she resist arrest? 8)

Lia is scared in passing, a lot has happened to her today. Perhaps she will be scarred, but it is too early to tell.
(Sorry for the spelling error)

Relieved to discover that these serious folk have not driven him out of the group for the part he has played so far, Uhlskah speaks up, in his best attempt at a sweet voice, "So, little lady, it sounds like we need to see this Alchemist if we've any chance of helping you and your family. Why don't you take us there, eh? You can trust me now that I've saved your life, can't you?" Inside, Uhlskah is delighted at the dark story which is developing. The Alchemist with fire in her eyes - he couldn't invent better antiheroes for his songs. He also hopes by mentioning saving Lia's life he might get some recognition from the Kubi, who is clearly the head of this operation.

"It bothers me tha' this 'Alchemist' is unknown to me. But yes, they're person of interest number one.
Aug 13, 2015 2:35 am
Lia nods and is ready to go.
(Let me know if you're going with her / trying stop her / doing anything along the way or before hand ect.)

Asterion spins on his heel and strides over to tower ominously over Keleem. The Ironwrought's eyes are cold steel. Quietly but implacably, he says "I saw the look on your face. I know you know something. Tell me."

Lia nods and is ready to go.
So, she's ready to lead us to the Alchemist? If so, Uhlskah is going with her.
