OOC:
I think we've gotten enough information to act on. Finding the father and making sure he is safe would be a good course of action. Otherwise we can just spend time patrolling the town and making sure everything is safe.

Cursing to himself quietly, the halfing steps away from the barrel, hands in a placating gesture. "Relax Vin, it is what it seems like, but completely consensual."

Looking at the girl, "Go on Shayliss, tell your father what happened."

OOC:
Agreed. Lets proceed to Lonjiku. This will excite Li also.

The Shopkeeper's Daughter

Ven Vinder
"You think I will fall for your slick tongue like my daughter here!" Ven says, interrupting whatever his daughter was about to say, his face red with anger. "Did you promise her the world?! I will tell the whole town the Heroes of Sandpoint is a bunch of degenerates and perverts!"
OOC:
Give me a persuasion roll (or another social skill if you want). You need to beat his Spirit.
The Rusty Dragon

Ameiko gives you a round of drinks on the house, before heading upstairs to find the toy horse from his brother. You are free to discuss your next move while waiting for her.

Khel scratched his beard and rim of his turban. He was sweating a bit and deep in thought. "This would have been easier if I did my divination classes back when I was studying arcane mysteries. Looks like we have only one person left to question. All these questions, but no valid direction to go. Master Li, do you have any thoughts of your own regarding this puzzle?"

"The lady tells a sad tale, but are we sure she isn't the culprit? " Wess ask
Sep 12, 2024 3:47 pm
"Could be, but she doesn't strike me as trying to deceive."

"Relatively sure. The goblin said it was a man. And it mentioned the woman with a claw, so it seems able to tell the difference. Besides, running the busiest inn in Sandpoint probably doesn't have much time or motivation to burn her own town down." Chakra yips and Chigaru sneaks a piece of food under the table.

The Rusty Dragon

Ameiko Kaijitsu
Ameiko promtly returns with a small wooden figurine. Calling it a horse though, would be a stretch. It is a lump with at least 3 legs and an longgated head with no features to speak of. What is not in doubt, is that a child made it.

"I don't have much of my brother, but if you think it will help. I hope I can get it back when you are finished with it. The good case is it cannot make it any uglier if you break it."

"So... can anyone go and talk with Sheriff if he could ask around or even look for Tsuto while he will be in Magnimar? Maybe you could also ask him about what resources in people and equipment we will have access to for the task of defending the town?" - then he turned to the Ameiko's little treasure - "While I will take this horse back to Brodert Quink and we will try to check if it can be established if the hair owner and the creator of this toy is the same person? "

"Plus I will receive some more Alchemy lessons... I think I have almost figured it out, to start my own experiments.... We weren't so stupid to use the whole hair for last experiment, were we?" - Li was quite sure about his and Quink intelligence in this, but doubt resurfaced either way.

"Let's then meet here again to plan our town defense strategy? And walk together to Lonjiku Kaijitsu house?"

If no one stops him, Li takes horse and strolls towards Quink's house again.
OOC:
I don't feel a need to RP a scene at local alchemist home - if you ask me:) Unless there will happen something important. So Li can be in background for some time and then back with the party, after he will have results.
Edit: Oh! I Forgot that we wanted to go to Lonjiku Kaijitsu house - so edited Li's last sentences.

Khel nodded to Chigaru, "I agree with Master Chigaru. I don't think she is our culprit and now I am leaning more towards Tsuto being the only culprit." He promptly stopped talking when Ameiko came down with the horse.

Once the discussion was done, Khel stood up and said, "I guess we should talk with sheriff and tell him what we have found out uptill now."

"I'm not convinced that Tsuto is alone in this. I believe that he has some help." Saldrina frowns

"The more the merrier, there's enough of us to handle a few troublemakers" Wess boast

Angered at the thought that Ven would besmirch his character like that, Grim grabs him by the collar and brings the human face to face, atypical for most halflings given their usual difference in height.

"How dare you talk to me like that! I've been nothing but helpful to you and your family since we've met, at your store, at your drunken meanderings and confessions at the Hag."

Pointing at Shayliss, "She brought me down here, she's a grown adult who can make her own decisions, and that includes making sweet, passionate, possibly kinky, and most importantly, consensual, love."

He let's the man go, giving Shayliss a thumbs up.

The shopkeeper's Daughter
OOC:
The defender wins ties, but basically whoever rolls twice has to match or exceed the first roller so will say it goes to you.
Ven Vinder

You see Ven whole face is red, you figure it is an mix of shame and anger. He balls his finger in preparation of hitting you, but backs off at your words.

He stands there stewing in his own anger, as you ascend the stairs. "You go to your room! I just can't right now..." you hear him tell his daughter through gritted teeth.

On the way out, Grim finds most of the group heading to the sheriff to tell him what they have found out about Tsuto.

Meanwhile Li heads to Brodert Quink to get another lesson in Alchemy. While the experiment is going on he tells Li his theory about an ancient powerful kingdom once existing under their very feet and his debunked theory that the Old Light (the lighthouse) once was a war machine capable of spewing fire to a range of more than a mile. You are able to figure out that the toy horse and the hair you found earlier is the same person with a high degree of certainity. He tries to make sure that nothing is 100%, but it's close.

Aldern Foxglove
The evening comes and you gather back at the Rusty Dragon, about to go over your findings again when you see a familiar face enter the tavern. Aldern Foxglove, the nobleman whose life you saved yesterday smiles warmly at you. "Well met again friends. Glad I found you!"
Sep 16, 2024 8:56 pm
Grimwulf, still glum from the day's earlier event, "Aye friend, I feel the same and could use a drink to cheer me up. First round on you?"
Sep 16, 2024 8:58 pm
Saldrina raises an interested eyebrow at the nobleman's approach.
Sep 16, 2024 9:31 pm
"Well well, you see to be doing much better than when we first found you." Wess says with a hearty laugh
Sep 16, 2024 11:40 pm
Chigaru nods. "Well met, Sir Foxglove. How are you recovering?" the half-orc rumbles pleasantly.
