Still in hushed tone Calthoric responds "Well obviously gold will part of the payment. What I am offering is simple. I was asked by the bounty hunter to help him out as he too feels he has the wrong man. I do not have the time investigate who the right man is. If you know who the person that did attack the member of the House of Nord or have proof that the house of Nord is lying Give me the information and I will be sure the bounty hunter gets it. My fee for your brothers freedom is 300 gold piece. You have three hours to get me the information or you will have to pay the bounty hunters fee for holding till the information is delivered."

"My brother was up north when the murder was supposed to have occurred. We do not know the culprit but because of the investigation all of our trade has been halted causing us to loose lots of gold. I will give you 1000 gold for the return of my brother alive. Maybe checking into the house of Nord might give you more information."

Calthoric jaw drops a bit at the price they are willing to pay. He stands there a moment contemplating their offer. "Is there a non house member that can verify that he was up north at the time of the murder? I will get your brother free. For the record who am I speaking with and where can you be reached?. I will send a missive to the bounty hunter and let him know what is happening so he does not make any rash decisions." After hearing their details he says to them that he will be in touch and returns to the rest of the group.

"Have you decided which is the best destination for us? I have some interesting offers from those men that were arguing. It seems our bounty hunter captain has their brother who was the prisoner on the ship. They claim he was up north during the time of the murder of the house member of Nord. They offered a sum of 1000 gold to help free him. This man also said he could get us in contact with someone who might have knowledge of a great many things. I know Master Bolvar aches to be free of the city, though I do not mind it so much I too wish to be traveling with purpose. I will send a missive to the captain and hope he has not already turned him in. What do you all think our next course should be." As he listens to the group he scribbles quickly on a blank piece of parchment a note. He hands it to the barmaid with instructions to deliver it to First Mate Dwak of the bounty hunter vessel on pier 4 telling her he will reward her well for it.

The Noble says,"He left on a hunting expedition two months ago, the expedition was not for hunting but for something that cannot be named . Therefore, he could not have been here to do the murder and then return north. I am Ven, here is my ring, show it at my house and I will talk with you when you come."

Frowning, Rasellia thinks for a moment. "While I'm in no hurry to leave the city either, and money helps us in our task... you forget our main reason for leaving here; we have been discovered, Calthoric, and unless we leave now, innocents are going to be hurt..." Mulling over this for a bit, she gnaws on her lower lip. "How long will it take...?"

[crimson77]

The man shrugs at her question, I do not know how long it will take to free my brothers name, but miss, if you are worried about innocents, he is one"

Bolvar looks the mans brother, and sighs. "While your brother may be innocent, I am worried about total numbers here. If we stay here, we risk the lives of the town from that dra....why am I saying this?" Bolvar stops himself from spilling more information. "The point is, we need to leave. However, Thorael brought up a good point. Prehaps they will not attack again? Taking the time to right this small wrong will give us time to see if we really need to leave." Bolvar turns to look at Calthoric. "Lets do our best to help this man, but be quick about it."

Bolvar pulls out his money pouch. "It is not much, but it is the money that we earned in getting here. I am no good with numbers, so I cannot say how much it is. However, if we must leave I will gladly spend it for the group to aid us in fleeing this city."

After spending most of the day wondering what to do, you head down to the docks to see about heading south. You find a vessel that is leaving in less than an hour. You and the captain barging upon a price, 22 gold to take you and your cart full of your things across the river. He is heading out to sea but knows of a dock to the south that he can let you out upon. Soon, the cart with mule (or horse) is loaded up and you are on your way. You feel the spray of the waves upon your face as you head out into the open river. The journey seems quick for soon you see the other shore. A lone dock appears in the midst of a rocky shore. The boat is anchored a bit from shore. A rowboat brings you and your belongings up to the dock with the cart floating near behind. Soon you are back on dry land packing your things back into a slightly damp cart. The sun is quickly setting in the west as you see your transport sailing off towards the sea. The thought of your previously warm inn bed causes you to sigh, knowing that it will be a bit before you slumber away from the elements.

Calthoric follows Rasillia a short way and notices she is leading the party to the Ishtar residence. "Lady Rasellia I can see you are leading us towards the Ishtar residence. I think you misunderstood what Van has stated. He if we wish to speak to him again we are to approach their abode. I think we should bypass the middle man and head right to the House of Nord. Using the ring we shall mask as an envoy speaking for Van himself and see what information that will lead too. At least that is the plan I have in mind. We have to prove this murder to be false and someone to testify or a paper stating that there is some conspiracy. What do you all think of that plan?"

Thorael speaks in hushed tones. "Thats an awful idea. If they set up the brother for some murder, you going up there as a envoy will either get you killed, or worse... robbed again. Do you not think that they know who's authorized to speak for them. Yes we have the ring, but any pickpocket worth his salt could have acquired that. Feigning as an envoy is a great idea, just not to the house of Nord. We need to find out everything we can about the murder. The house of nord is not the place to start... perhaps we should entertain some other ideas on where to begin. Then again, perhaps i should continue to remain silent."

The noble shakes his head, "My brother had nothing to do with the murders, however, i do need to keep our secrets. Maybe you should start asking questions around the house of Nord. Find out who was killed and why they think it was my brother. I know that our house had nothing to gain from his murder and everything to loose. We have lost our status as merchants until the guilty party is brought to justice, that means coins are being lost as our good sit in our warehouse and rot."

You head down to the Noble houses, after about an hour of walking you find the House of Nord. You see it is quite busy with wagons leaving with goods and men tending to the gardens. It is surrounded by a large steel fence. There is a gate with a few guards standing beside it.

Rasellia follows Calthoric, but says little, the upper class having always grated on her nerves. She knew this situation required delicacy, so she decided it would be better for Calthoric, who seemed to have been born with a silver tongue and a good deal of street savvy, to do all the talking.

Inhaling deeply Thorael takes in the sights and smells of this noble house. The fragrant flowers remind him so much of home. Impressive for a human dwelling. Looking around he spots the guard house, and sees his companions looking at him. The "oh no" looks on their faces brings a smirk to his, as he strolls up to the guard house leaving gilly behind with the others.

"You there! Apathetic guard person. You seem to be adequately able of guarding... things". The mage pauses a moment allowing his compliment to have it full effect. Continuing on "... I'm sure you get this every day, but we are a cadre of problem solvers who have heard of your terrible terrible loss, our deepest sympathies, truly. What ever reward is being offered is really secondary to seeing that justice is done. A greatly appreciated afterthought, but secondary none the less. You seem to be a..uh.. natural leader among men, and must surely ..em..know all of the goings on here. We wish to throw our exiguous assets and skills at this conundrum. Tell me good man, could you tell us anything about the murder or point us in the direction of someone who could?"

crossing his arms and beaming a large smile, Thoreal is clearly pleased with himself glances back at his compadres, nods and winks before turning his attention back at the gate guard.

Thank the Saint that a priest was near by to raise him from the dead soon after his murder, so that he could name his killer.

"Ressurection eh? Sounds like a powerful spell indeed. I only hope it will never need to be casted on myself. I wonder if there is a time limit on the spell? Like, was the leader dead for a day or two and everyone saw the dead body?"

Calthoric listens to the party as they make their contributions. Knowing little of the magics to resurrection it seems the most likely way to start investigating. "Yes it is extremely fortunate that a priest was near by. Master Bolvar bring up a good point as well, I too am unfamiliar with the process. How long was this leader of yours dead for? Also did the priest see the murder take place or was he just happening by and found the body? How do we know there was a murder if the supposed victim still lives? Mind you I am merely asking these questions to help aid that justice be done. We would not want the accused to get off on a technicality. After all anyone can say they were murdered and then resurrected, I could state that the same has happened to me and that your sir were the one that killed me. We wish to help solidify the prisoners guilt.

"Well this is and is not a formal investigation. We are working behind the scenes shall we say. It was brought to the cities legal advisors that the detective investigating the matter was seen talking in a tavern in hushed tones with a member of the Ishtar House. As important as this investigation is we are doing two things here. One to make sure that justice is served and two weeding out any possible corruption in the department. So if you would mind your tongue as too not tip our hand can only benefit your house. Though should word of our investigation get out any possibility of proving corruption as well as ensuring the prisoners conviction could be lost. With that being said if you can now take us to the crime scene as well as to the priest it would be most beneficial.

"If you will come with me, i can take you to the crime scene." He leads you through the gardens and into the house. He makes hand gestures to each of the guards as he comes through. You arrive at the library. There appears to be a large blood stain on the carpet. A priest arrives as well, obviously hurried along. "What is the meaning of this, why must i come here now?"
