![]() "We're going to need to take the doctor with us, if he lives, so he can make a full confession. Also the maidens need seen to, until we can sort out what's what. They were just doing their duty, as they saw it. We should tend to their wounds as best as we can, but until we have made our report, word of this combat should be kept as quiet as possible." ![]()

![]() Thinking to himself that things went downwards fast, and weren't we going to try and pull the doctor away from the guards, Jeorik moves to draw an arrow, shouting, "Hold Maidens! Do not attack the Queens Men!"

![]() "Whatever we do, it should be done quickly. At this point I'm in favor of less sneaking around, personally. Just go in there and see what's what. If we stir things up directly, fine. If not, we can see how it shakes out. If nothing else, we can interview Davaulus politely and then invite him to come with us to the guard to help with an examination of things we have found in the river. If we can pull him away from his support, the questioning might go easier." ![]()

![]() "That is far from smart," Jeorik warns, "Our business in all likelyhood does not concern you, nor are we actively seeking a fight, we merely wish to ascertain whether you stand with those that would bring down the city. If you wish to make us enemies, that is your call." Jeorik readies an arrow attack against any charge. ![]()

![]() Sorry. Jeorik readies his arrow and takes a step towards the man tapping, moving into the front. "Istas is correct, how do we know they are not in league with the ones we seek," he says to Kenan, "Its bad tactics to let yourself get flanked. Let us give them a chance to be reasonable." Ahead of him he says, "You there, stop that tapping and come forward. We are on official business for the city! Hinder us at your own peril. Surrender now and answer our questions!" ![]()

![]() "Is the plan to go in through the sewers now?" Jeorik says as things are explained to him, "I thought we were going through the front door in order to question our suspect? Do we want to split up with some going in from below and some from above? Of course that might make things more complicated in the long run..." ![]()

![]() Istas Wraithscar wrote: "My suggestion would be to have Emerion don the physician's mask and slip inside. The rest of us...especially Kenan and I...should request an audience with Davaulus out of professional courtesy. Then, we can question him about the ship's log book having his name on it. And if he knows anything about a Lady Andaisin and just read his reactions. Jeorik and Heather can accompany us as retainers, official Guard representatives, etc. And, once our interview is over...regardless of what we learn...we head back and pick up Emerion on our way out to see what he's learned about the hospital while we were distracting Davaulus." "I am not sure we want to let him know the nature of the evidence against him. Perhaps, just let it be known that his name has come up in our investigations and we need his side of the story. No need to mention the log. As we question him, we can examine his honesty and his reaction. But we should also be on our guard for violence; if he is guilty he may do something rash." ![]()

"I'm sure that our friend here will make sure Endrin is well informed, even as I am sure he picked the very best man he had to check up on us," says Jeorik with a grin, "though I would more humbly suggest that though we will do as much of the heavy lifting as is possible, we do not know how many there are in this plot and I, for one, am more than happy to see as many as possible take a righteous stand to aid us." ![]()

![]() "I hate to state the obvious," I say, "But it is possible that this is more than just a religious plot. If all the plague came from Cheliax, it is possible politics are at work and someone is just using this cult of death for some other ends. I may not be well versed in the subtleties of politics, but where Cheliax is concerned, one should not discount politics and religion co-mingling." ![]()

![]() "As we know we are looking for Urgathoa's church, we could try briefing the guards in tell-tale signs and symbols of the church. If we can find a few of the living followers, we might be able to follow them back to their leaders. And then there's the coffer we took from the ship. We should make sure its not enchanted or some such thing, and see what else we might learn from it. Other than that I have no real suggestions but that we remain alert for further leads." ![]()

![]() Knowledge (history): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 Knowledge (local): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 The quote completely misses Jeorik but he catches the names of the two officials. "I'll write up a report. And rest assured it will contain only the facts, no speculation as to cause. In the meantime, I'll be happy to assist with any further invistigations that need to be made. Urgathoa's followers are a reputedly nasty lot and I would be happy to clear them out from whatever hole they've found refuge in." ![]()

![]() "Istas thinks that she can have the dead tell us who sent them. The man was clearly a member of a death cult and might be able to tell us who is behind this plague. We just want an official witness beyond ourselves as to what he says, as there is a possibility that there is some connection to someone in the Queen's physicians."

![]() When did that happen, Jeorik wonders somewhat bemusedly as he realizes that he has indeed become a regular part of the guard. "I'll go get the Marshall," says Jeorik and he makes sure he understands where to meet the others in the Grey District and then he goes to make a report and fetch the Marshall. ![]()

![]() I doubt we need to worry too much about the salvagers wanting the body, but if we wrap them secretively, they may wonder what we are hiding. Better to be open about taking them from the wreck as evidence. Or alternately, claim the hag as evidence and that we plan to bury the sailor properly. ![]()

![]() "That's all very well and good, but if you remove the mask in that way, what use will it serve us later? Seems like an awful lot of effort for no actual benefit. Its not like you can bring it to court later and claim you found it at the bottom of the river,not after working to make sure that nobody knew you found it at the bottom of the river. And if we have to testify, the word of witnesses is going to stand with or without the actual mask, which detractors would just say we had taken from one of the actual healers." "In the meantime, shall we search the rest of the ship to see if there is evidence of anything else?"
