Do you know where he would be? I am looking for him, and was surprised to arrive and find his academy in flames. As I said, I came in to see if he was ok and was attacked by these cretins. Fortunately they were easily dispatched. Have you seen him today, or do you know where he might go if he were to seek to hide from someone?
"I came because someone blew a hole through the wall." he pointed to the big obvious hole that curnach had created. "The assassins attacked me and Vencarlo. I narrowly escaped, but they didn't care about me and my teacher cut down those assassins with little trouble before narrrowly escaping as the school went on fire. Where he is I don't know, but I have a suspecion who. When I stayed as his guest I noticed he often left at odd hours at night. He seemed restless and distracted. He sometimes did not return until morning, but one day his cloths were bloody and he claimed he had to fight off a thief, but I don't believe a thief would've been so brave to attack the head of a sword-fighting school."
"In the days before the Red Mantis attacked, Vencarlo has a strange houseguest visit. His hands were always stained with paint, he wore his hair wild and unkept like some animal and he always had a jittery habit of looking about. Vencarlo claimed he was a friend, but I recognised him immediately as the notorious local artist known as Salvator Scream." he pauses for a moment, hoping for Llyra to take the name in and curious if she would recognise it. "They met behind closed doors every time, all three nights, but their last meeting I swear I heard Vencarlo's voice raised in anger, but I was unable to hear the argument clearly. I've been meaning to track down Salvator to ask him myself about what happened to Vencarlo, but I...well I am not brave enough to brave Old Dock where Salvator's home is."
