    Llaars is going to search for the two guards. He starts by checking the guard station and giving a description of them.

    If that fails he'll put up a notice outside his tavern: Anyone with info on those thugs gets a free beer upon confirmation of the info.


    Edit: He heads down to see Fredricks sister. Maybe she'll know where he is...

    You all following Llaars, or is he going alone? Since you're done gathering info, plot and characters can move on.

    Ok...er...Since Strawberries PM'd me already, we'll do Antal's and Audric's part in PM's and carry on Llaar's little mini-adventure in this thread, ok?

    Yep, posting with Ajadea's permission. I think there has been a bit of confusion about who was doing what when. Can I assume we are all together?


    When you meet again in the tavern, as agreed, Audric and Antal are already at one of the table. Apparently they've been talking for some time. The halfling has in his hands a blue ceramic tile. The paladin is frowning, and seems worried. He looks at each one of the people in the group, but focuses on Rana in particular.

    "There is a couple of things we need to tell you" he says "But first, may I ask if any of you managed to uncover something relevant?"

    "I have not found anything." Rana looks uncomfortable being the focus of Audric's attention, and sits as far from him as she can at the table.

    Noticing Rana's nervousness, Audric addresses her an apologetic smile. He had not meant for her to feel threatened. "I meant for you to have a look at that" he says, indicating the blue tile held by Antal "Tell me if you've ever seen anything like it. Antal, would you tell them what you told me, please?" he asks the halfling. He is speaking softly, and his tone is far from commanding.

    Some lady said that if broken, the tile would summon her. Catch! he says, tossing the tile to Rana.

    Audric had shot Antal a murderous stare when he threw the tile, and had half-jumped from his seat. Seeing that Rana has caught the item without incidents, he relaxes, and sits again "Mostly because of your...unique perspective" the paladin says. He seems embarassed having to point out her elven heritage "As it's obviously an arcane item. As for the lady" another frown is addressed to Antal "She mentioned a darkness coming. We don't know if it was a threat, or a warning"

    On a completely unrelated note, I hate you for making me think about proper verb tenses at this hour of the evening.... I'm not 100% sure aout the grammar of this post, but it'll have to do. Feel free to correct, as I'm not a native speaker.

    The tile's magic is certainly more powerful than the magic you can cast. Beyond that, you've got no clue what it does.

    I'll pass on the knowledge checks, since Audric already stated that he has no idea about what the title does.

    "Keep it. Or give it back to Antal" Audric says, without taking the tile. "I doubt it was meant to be kept by a paladin."

    She contacted someone, and my friend was there to acquire the tile. It's magic, what more connection do we need right now?

    "To be fair, not all magic in the world has to be connected". Audric replies At least I really, really hope that isn't the case. Then, after thinking for a moment "Did your friend mention something about dragons?"

    He nods. He wasn't expecting anything else "The order doesn't, either. They haven't been very prodigal of information, but my friend was worried about the elf's age. According to him, the figures don't add up - that elf was younger than he should have been. Meaning, we might have dagons to worry about.".
    He rubs his eyes. That was supposed to be a simple "search, neutralize and return" assignment, how did he allow it to turn into this mess?" And meaning also I'm a bit of a loss about what the next step should be. I'm wary to go back into the sewers, but I don't see other options. Unless we decide to pump those guards for information"

    Rana shifts slightly in her seat. "I think that simply being magic is not nearly enough to connect this woman to the elf in the sewers. Besides, we have no idea if she would be hostile."

    Turning to Audric, she says, "Do you think that those guardsmen would know anything? Would you be able to talk to them?

    "I'm rather hesitant to return to the sewers as well, as that would mean going into unfamiliar territory, but it does seem the most likely way to discover what is going on."
