"Oh! We get a BADGE? I am so sold on this idea now!"
Sabina returns a few minutes later, "Here is your reward."
She hands a heavy-looking bag to Liandra, "1,200 gold, exactly. Now, do you have any questions before I call for an escort?"
Sorry about the pause there guys.
Female Half-Elf Rogue 3/ Urban Ranger 2
"Thank you. Vex, anything you need to know?"
So including Corvin its 200g apiece ; No problem RL always interjects at some point

"No I'm fine. You folks split up the coin. You earned it. Hopefully, we can milk guard from some of their coin now."
Female Half-Elf Rogue 3/ Urban Ranger 2
"Well that's that then." Liandra turns to Sabina.
"Whenever you're ready."
ok so 240g each then. shall we each just adjust our profile totals?
Sure.
Sabina nods, "Excellent. I'll tell Rilfk that you're ready."
She leaves the room again.
Sorry; longer post tomorrow. I don't have my books in front of me right now to describe the trip.
Sorry, again.
Sabina returns after a few minutes with a group of three human guards, "Your escorts to Citadel Volshyenek." She leaves without another word.
One of the guards asks, "So. I hear ya' managed to impress the Queen. Good for you. Anyways, shall we be off then? I don't got all day."
Female Half-Elf Rogue 3/ Urban Ranger 2
The group of guards lead you out of the castle, down the staircases built into its side, and through the chaotic streets of Korvosa. Citadel Volshyenek is located in Midland, about a 45 minute walk away. As you arrive at the majestic building's gates its two guards nod in apparent recognition and open the doors. Your guides remain outside as the gates close behind you.
After a minute or two, a woman who you immediately recognize as Field Marshal Cressida Kroft comes down the staircase.
"Ah yes-you are the ones sent by Queen Ileosa. Greetings-my name is Cressida, and heroes of your caliber are exactly what Korvosa needs now. You've been on the streets. You know better than me how mad things are out there. It's breaking my heart to see Korvosa tear herself apart like this... the fire, the riots, everything! Every little bit of aid we can get from upstanding citizens like you helps. If you're willing, I'd very much like to retain your services as agents of the Guard. I don't need to say, of course, that you'll be well compensated for these services."

"Wherever we are most needed." Algret gives a solemn nod.
Female Half-Elf Rogue 3/ Urban Ranger 2
"It's an honor. Might I ask what you require of us before we get settled? I believe you know one of our number. Vex?"
Male Half Orc Barbarian 2
"Skazz's never been called 'upstanding'before. I'm at your service"
"Excellent! You've doubtless heard the stories that the king's killer has been named. Yet there's something more going on here, I'm afraid. Queen Ileosa could have quietly had this killer, Trinia Sabor, arrested at any time, yet the way in which she revealed the information to the city seems to me like she wants the riots to come back. Certainly, with the mob and the Hellknights out on the street, the girl doesn't stand a chance at a trial-they'll lynch her the moment they find her. And even if she did kill the king, mob justice isn't the way. Worse, if she's innocent, the real killer can use this distraction to throw us off the trail forever.
"Before Trinia is executed, we need to be absolutely sure she did this thing. And that means we need to catch her before the mob. We know where she lives-a flat in Midland at 42 Moon Street-but soon, so will hte mob. The Hellknights don't seem to care as much about catching her as they do about containing the mob-something about the "order of law" makes it a greater priority for them to contain than a possible assassin. I can't say I disagree completely, but the problem is, the Hellknights are only making it worse. The mob's covering half of Midland now, and Trinia's flat is near the middle of the mess. I've got all available guards at work keeping things from getting any worse-and if I were to send them into Midland, they'd trigger a riot.
"I'm sure you can see where this is going. I need you to get into Midland, find Trinia, and bring her back to me so we can deliver her, safe and sound, to somewhere where she can be interrogated-preferably with magic, so we can be absolutely sure about her role in Eodred's death. Get in there, catch her, and get out without letting the mob get its hands on her. I'll have agents and officers nearby. If you can get her to one of them, we'll be in the clear. Any questions?"
Female Half-Elf Rogue 3/ Urban Ranger 2
"Well for one, what type of force are we authorized to use and how will your men know our authority."
Female Half Elf Fighter 2
Vex watches for now. She's not concerned about Li's first question, but the second one is relevant.
"We want Sabor alive, although I will understand if injury is necessary. I will have the guards in Midland notified of your appearance."
Female Half-Elf Rogue 3/ Urban Ranger 2
"Excellent. Is there anything else we need to know?"
Female Half Elf Fighter 2
So what can you offer in terms of compensation for this job?
Apologies; I'm going to try to get back on schedule.
"You will be well-rewarded in gold if you successfully complete your mission, and there may be a future in a career as adventurers for the Guard, if you'd be interested."
Female Half-Elf Rogue 3/ Urban Ranger 2
"Sound's like we have a deal. Shall we get going?"
"I'm ready, but do you think we should do anything with Glark first?"
Female Half-Elf Rogue 3/ Urban Ranger 2
Liandra runs her hand through her hair as she sighs.
"Hmm.. Glark. Goblin may be bad for our image around town and hurt our standing, but he did good. Hell, he might still be useful."
Female Dwarf Cleric of Torag 2
"I believe that even purchased with fear, his loyalty should be rewarded. Besides, it is not beyond Torag's power to reforge even the soul of one as wretched as a goblin."
Male Half Orc Barbarian 2
"hmmm...If he comes with us wont he draw attention?"
Looks down at himself, looks up and shrugs
"On the other hand...
Female Half-Elf Rogue 3/ Urban Ranger 2
"Maybe letting him have his run of that fishery? Let him lair up."
Male Half Orc Barbarian 2
"Good idea, and it lets us have a bolthole if we need one."
Female Half-Elf Rogue 3/ Urban Ranger 2
"Perfect. Ok lets get moving. We should send him there, then head to the location to make the arrest. Maybe scout around to see the best way in."
Male Half Orc Barbarian 2
"OK . Ready and waiting!"
Can I assume that you get Glark and lead him back to the old fishery?
Female Half-Elf Rogue 3/ Urban Ranger 2
As Kroft had said, most of Midland has been overrun by the citizens of Korvosa who are on the look out for Trinia Sabor. The address which you were given is near the center of the masses, but you make your way through the crowds easily enough. It's an unremarkable building; two stories, and relatively thin fit in between other buildings around it. What do you do?
Female Half-Elf Rogue 3/ Urban Ranger 2
"I think we should surround the building, see if there's a back way. I'll see if I can get in from the roof. Once we're all in place Skazz can kick in the door. Sound good?"
"Sounds good. I'll stay with Skazz in case he needs spell support."
Corvin takes a brief look at the half-orc.
"Although I doubt that'll be necessary."
Sounds good; what's everyone's positions?
Female Half-Elf Rogue 3/ Urban Ranger 2
"Al and Vex should go round back to match brawn and magic on both sides, Goburn, roam the perimeter I guess? You're the hunter, do whatever you think is best."
Liandra then steps deep into the narrow alley between buildings and looking for a drainage pipe or some other suitable handhold begins to climb the building.

Algret circles around looking for a rear entrance. If she finds one she will approach it and use her Earth Sense to see if there are any inhabitants on the ground floor.
ALGRET:
EVERYONE: Okay; if everyone's still keen on playing I'm going to really try and get back on track here.
Female Half-Elf Rogue 3/ Urban Ranger 2
I'm still on board, been a little busy with Superstar round 2 and prepping for 3 but I'm still here.
Congrats! Hope all goes well!
