03 Return to Dawnsmoor

Darlane smiles and nods and raises her drink in a toast "Good hunting" she says as you leave. As walk through the tap room of the Wayward Wanderer you're acutely aware of the 'patrons' eyes on you all.

You proceed across town to the imposing building of the city court house. Darlane told you that the gaol is located within the same building. You can see a large set of doors at the front of the building flanked by a could of guards but it seems that a side entrance is seeing most of the foot traffic in and out of the building.

As you enter the building you find yourselves in a large brightly lit entrance chamber with a high ceiling. A balcony rings the room with two sets of stairs lead up to the upper floor. Dark wooden beams crisscross the ceiling in an almost intricate pattern seeming to curve almost organically round the few skylights that are illuminating the chamber. A number of individuals are milling about the chamber, as newcomers enter various junior clerks are directing them to the officials who can assist them and you soon find yourself stood in front of the desk of a more senior looking dwarf with a close trimmed slightly greying beard. "Yes, what do you need? Something about a prisoner was it?" the dwarf addresses you all in general in a very clipped tone.

The dwarf stares at Pomin as expressionless as stone before giving themselves a slight shake and making a huffing kind of noise "Well, all that seems very impressive and I'm sure it's keeping you quite busy but some details about this individual would be somewhat useful in getting you some information. Reciting the details of every criminal we have ever held would be somewhat tiresome" he maintains his focus on Pomin and waits for the details.

The dwarf grunts in what you assume is satisfaction at the details Pomin has given him before turning to a set of shelves and pulling out a thick looking tome. Returning to the desk with it he opens it and quickly flicks through the pages until he settles on one and begins to study the entries. After a few moments he frowns before looking up at you all with an annoyed expression "I'm afraid you are mistaken, there was no one matching that description confined to the city gaol during the days you have mentioned"

The dwarf stares at Jabari with a look that could melt steel before answering "Of course I am. The ledgers are quite clear. Now unless there are any other non-existent people you need me to look for I have actual work I need to be on with".

As the dwarf is talking you all notice one of the nearby guards has been paying an undue amount of attention to you all and just as the dwarf finished speaking they turn and begin heading for an exit.
