"It puzzles you? My lord and the others are nobles, or at least very close. I have no idea what the others still alive will do with the land if they get it, and again, I have been told not to say anything about my lord's plans." He seems distracted for a moment. "He will care for the children temporarily after the building is torn down.[/smaller]"
"Nobility has nothing to do with it, unless you mean they will add it to their list of possessions, and then think nothing more on it. I appreciate all the assistance you have rendered Sir LeaGallow, but it appears the answers I seek, you cannot give. Please convey to your master my desire for a meeting. My STRONG desire. Perhaps we can work out an arrangement that will sees the children safe, Keiyanna cleared, and the final disposition of the house settled. Please extend my greetings, as Lord Joss' court Seer, to your Master."
With that, Basha gives a curt bow and walks back to Kenna.
Eadric also thanks LeaGallow for his time and follows Basha to the Sheriff's office.
As Basha and Eadric begin their trip to their meeting with the Sheriff, they spot Lydinia a split second after she spots them.
"Brothers, I think I know why there is so much fuss being made over the orphanage! When it was being built years ago, it was discovered that a ley line ran through it, and that it caused dormant magic to wake up in people."
Eadric looks at Lydinia with an utterly blank look. Forgive me sister, but what is a ley line?
Basha ponders the news Lydinia brings them. "Hmm, Ley lines.."

Know: History
"From what Azharten and I were told, ley lines are veins of naturally occurring magic." She says as she leans in to keep the conversation as private as possible. "One happens to go through the orphanage, where a extraplanar being was 'asked' by someone to protect the children. If what the dwarf said was true, and the line awakens magic.. one of the children may be behind the murders." She whispers grimly.
Damn... guess its time to return to Orphanage. Maybe I can spot something good along the way..like finding something to kill elf hehe Azharten speaks to himself and mutters the last words to himself.
Turning and moving down towards the Orphanage, Azharten looks aroud and ponders everything, what has happened recently in this town. Thinking of something else, idea comes to his mind. Wandering now in the streets and crossing from place to place just to see how the time has affected around and things looks like.

"One of the CHILDREN?!?!?! Unless it is a case of possession, that seems highly unlikely. All the same, it may not be a bad idea to chase this idea of Ley Lines down."
I can think of one child we should question... Lilian Yerazig and her pet lizard.
It seems that very little has changed since your were last in the city, and you even recognize a few people. Another thing you notice is a small, cloaked figure keeping pace with you on the other side of the street..
[ooc]Eadric & Basha[/ooc
"Good luck with the Sheriff." Lydinia says. "I'd join you, but I have to go find the other person who used to be under Keiyanna's care. I should be back by dinner." As she leaves, Eadric again notices a small, cloaked figure. This time, it is quite obvious they are being watched...
Going around and not paying attention to small guy, Azharten never had any desire to look at someone, he realised that it was almost the same when he had left the town.
After some time, the man was still moving with him and now he got annoyed. He never was popular and for hell sure he never had gotten some damn kid follow him. Thinking of scaring him, Azharten turns to one of alleys and move through it to another side, but slip fast against left side of wall.
Waiting to hear footsteps, Azharten ready himself to jump and scare the child.
Intimidate and Perception
Eadric says his goodbyes to Lydinia and watches her walk off before catching Basha's eye, and as secretly as he can, remarks, It seems we have someone following us. Should we confront them? Perhaps you have a spell that would give us the advantage?
You successfully scare the small person following, who almost falls backwards before he or she runs off.

Basha takes a glance at the furtive follower. "Hm, Eadric, if I can circle around behind our little friend, do you think you can grab them? I'm tired of everyone knowing who we are, but not returning the favor."
Eadric nods in agreement with Basha's plan and waits for Basha to get into position before attempting to confront and corner the small cloaked figure...
Does the cloaked figure react as Basha doubles back? If not, Basha will walk toward it at a moderate pace, herding it towards Eadrics waiting embrace.
Eadric prepares to grab the small cloaked figure...
You get a few side-long glances as you walk through the city, so you know some people recognize you.
A young girl approaches you, followed by two more younger boys, one of which has a cut on his arm.
"Um.. Miss? You wouldn't happen to be a healer with a spare bandage, would you? Gareth wasn't watching were he was going and he tripped, landing on a sharp rock."
Eadric, seeing Basha in position, makes his move to grab the little person...
Don't you know it isn't polite to follow someone?
The person puts up a struggle, but after a few moments of failing to break free, goes limp and suddenly the only thing keeping him/her up is the Eadric. The person stays silent.
