"we have done nothing wrong. Let's let the guard handle this, then return the girl."
Ghiv steps forward and points his finger at the unconscious alchemist. This man conducted most foul experiments on humans in his own abode.
"He also kidnapped this child, and may have tortured or otherwise abused her." Thren'ody adds.
"glad that's over. We should return her now."
Before they leave solinas will bid one of the guard to visit the lower level of the alchemist house where he made experiments in creating Chimeras
If we are going back in, Ducar will look for obvious valuables that are portable, like jewelry or magic crystals, or coins.

You are approached by a man who is looking quite distraught. He is wearing the clothes of a scholar (Chiton and himaton --> both blue, although the himaton is embroidered with a silvery looking silk). He seems to be looking for someone and avoids eye contact.
A knowledge (local) check might be appropriate.
Max DC 10
to see if anyone if paying him extra attention or if he is followed
Ghiv thinks he may recognize the man.
With no clue as to the man's Identity Thren'ody stands quietly by her new companions.
This man is a book keeper at the book repository. Ghiv says, not quite understanding what a libarian is, or why someone would keep all the books to themselves.
Good for him. still not feeling very concerned, she simply replied
As a psychic warrior herself, Thren'ody is intrigued. [b]"What exactly would they gain from having stolen the book?[/ooc]
"Hmm, probably sells for a decent amount of money. Although I am not sure how well those sorts of things sell. Unless a private collector contracted the theft."
Pff, so you guys seems interested in this i take it? So bookkeeper, lets go somewhere more private and you will explain everything to us.
if he agrees Solinas will turn toward ducar
Lead on if you please
"The most private place i know charges by the hour..."
as long at it is close by and not too expensive, i rather talk about this somewhere then just in the streets.
Thren'ody chuckles guessing as Ducar's meaning.
or we can go to an inn and ask for a private drinking room, might be cheaper and faster. she simply says
"agreed. The only place I know near here is reeaallly expensive."
Ducar leads the group to the nearest inn equipped with a private drinking room. When there, Ducar orders the room and also some food and one round of drinks.
"Alright, lets sit down, you calm down a bit guy, have a drink and a bite to eat. Then tell us what you need to. Also... gonna need you all to chip in a few coins on this room and food, I ain't made of gold, eh?"
Oh really? that is a shame and here i had hoped that you were the golden Goose. she says with a smile.
of course i'll chip in aftar all we all just made some coins.
she turns toward the bookkeeper
So why don't you tell every your story and everything you know and suspect about this book?
"Absolutely, " Thren'ody replies putting a few coins on the table. "So do you have any idea who the thief might be?"
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Ghiv nods stiffly and begins watching the humans imbibe poison. He shudders as he thinks about the effects alcohol has on the liver and central nervous system.
on the card
on the Huntress
"The sign of the Huntress. A thief of fine art."
"Art thief? Were the books known for their artwork?" Thren'ody asks.
"there are those who consider the written word a form of art on its own."
No much to go on. Either the huntress was tasked and paid to steal some of these books / work of Art, or she is planning to resell them. she ponders for a few seconds
Can you make us a list of the exact important piece the huntress stole and a list of people that you know who you know are interested in. And also a list of know major art deal who would know the true value of what was stolen.
