checks her wands, pulls one of infernal healing. taps herself with it once and odin with it once.
a minute later, damage on each: 1hp
Leia looks down the stairs and volunteers. We'll go have a look. Come along Odin.
She puts a light on a stone so she can see better, and approaches, trying to see what killed the three people, her gun out in her other hand, odin just ahead of her as she approaches.

"Fine. I recognize the face of stubborn. Eggman, Sad, you two stick by her at the center so you can heal or defend her best. the rest of us will surround you and offer a barrier to threats. Lets form up and move on in. "

"Why don't we go through first, J can hang back towards the rear with Sad as bodyguard in case something gets around us. Hang back thirty feet or so? "
Leia accepts one of the siphons and tucks it into her pistol holster, taking the pistol out and checking that its loaded.

J seems surprised by the question. "Yes I am, why do you ask?"
"Maybe nothing. Does your mother talk about your father much?"
:: looking at the first note again, and conferring with Lily ::
to lilybeth:
Lady Miranda Dacilane is rumored to have committed numerous amorous indiscretions during her youth. The most outrageous was that she was the mistress of Orias Deckland, a scandalous member of Absalom’s upper classes, and bore him a child. She is also rumored to have belonged to a secret society known as the Harbingers of Fate. Rumors come from a drunken but reliable source.
that'd be her mother? know anything about this Deckland? wasn't sure if you were just saying about the infernal vault in character or out of character .
"what was that about the asmodean pyre? wow. i guess the chelaxian types were everywhere at some point." ::sigh::

only splitting if those inside insist on not leaving the room with the ghoran. but i'll head to the market with Lilybeth to help with the shopping. dismissing Odin as we go to market and resummoning him once we're back.

Lea calmly speaks with a patient voice, in a slightly forced peaceful tone from the doorway, to Davnet "You're an expert on what's evil then? Slightly exhasperated, but remaining calm, she looks around to everyone still in the room " No one wants an unnecessary fight. We are here uninvited, escorting young J so she can look, and protecting her. If you stay here, a fight WILL happen. the same way a fight would happen if a burglar loitered in a house they've broken into . We're not here on some mission for the greater good of absalom. Stop playing pious, and lets go get the supplies and try to come back later. "
"Eggman, are you sensing any evil? No? then lets back up and leave the master gardener in peace, instead of antagonizing her before she DOES spark a fight. "
::message:: lets not start a fight with an insane plant. he's probably not evil, just a little touched in the plant head. we've no proof she's doing anything evil, just rumors and gossip::

"now now. no need to get touchy Sad. There can be good celery. lets just all take a breath. "
Leia holsters her gun, and holds her hands up to show they're empty as she clears her throat and addresses the Master Gardener,"We truly didn't mean to disturb you. your Major Domo led us here, but seems to have neglected to perform a polite introduction. We're in the employ of one of the high families who lost students here, and we simply wanted to look around and see if a momento from one of the students could be found. We don't wish you or your plants any harm; we've already had some barter with the major domo, and if you'd let us, we'll be out of your vines shortly.
she brings a gloved hand up, stroking her chin pensively,"Perhaps there's something we can get you from the city that you require but lack here, to show our good faith? "

"uh. i'll take the one that lets you climb walls, and the one that makes you invisible and stops you from falling. How much , er, or, what do you want in return for them. how much of my blood and odin's blood? "
leia steadies herself and provided its not that crazy a price, pays it, and moves along with everyone to the master gardener.

"Well, if i'm not the only one who feels a bit more secure with my weapon drawn already... "leia mutters, drawing her pistol and checking that its loaded with a normal bullet.

does the blood of summoned creatures "poof" when they expire? or could you bleed a live summon enough to collect some blood before they're returned to their home plane?
Leia stares off, unfocused on what's going on, contemplating on something very intently. Odin remains alert, watching and smelling, looking for a threat from the left,and from the right, as we go. His tired head lazily looking left, the more adroid right head ears perked, attention laser sharp, his little gold and green leather vest ruffling as he shifts and guards.
I'll take finding a small goat or pig, if it turns out the summon's thing is decidedly unethical or impossible.

she'll take a minute to call Odin once over the gate, letting him fold back into reality around a corner, and make sure message is up before going in. i tend to use message like a subvocal walkie talkie, is that alright?

Leia hangs back with J, and keeps a lookout for anything else that might be in the area. Into the message she utters,"are we sure we can trust anything that grows and lives under that twisted crystal dome? its magic has seriously corrupted many plants. If there's some dark druid toiling away here, be careful negotiating with its minion. "

visibly relieved its not some form of posessions, Leia exhales. "Well. If that's all it is, I can understand forming bonds with those not of this plane. You're just sort of... connected... to the ethereal plane. "

"nice one kid. you nearly kept your nerve. you'll learn to keep a lid on it with some real experience. " she says to J, since she did a good job with nearly hiding her fears.
"But. So no one's going to talk about that other thing? 'Cause that was freaky too, to me. Are you, 'You' in there J? ", she gestures at J's head once the other guys have helped her up off the ground.
Spoiler:
no religion. but wracks her less educated mind for a reason behind the green incorporeal undead that's possessing J, but doesn't come up with much.

"Lets race! we can just split u... . er, fine. If y'all want to go by way of Coin or ride a carriage, I'll hop up with the driver. "Leia dismisses Odin, he puts his tail down and walks past a corner, disappearing.
she won't travel with weapons out through the city.

"eh. Carriage? there'll be fewer people down by the docks, shouldn't be too rough out, its morning. Whats the worst that could happen. "Leia grins wryly

Leia whistles once they're outside of the plush manse, and Odin comes from around the corner to join them, unfolding out from space at the edges of perception. Leia introduces Odin, and then resumes walking to the district as if its no big deal.
She stops in a store briefly, picking up a weapon cord. securing it to her longsword and belt.
once there, she'll cast mage armor on Odin, and cast message to link up everyone so we can talk while moving without making as much noise. She'll secure She'll draw her pistol, and check that its loaded, and pull out some vanilla to chew on, then draw her longsword in the other hand. keeping them lowered, and cautiously walking in with Odin ahead of her padding along softly.

to Lady Dacilane before J comes down "Does your daughter have any special conditions or needs we should be aware of? She hasn't had any trouble since the incident that would be pertinent to note? Seizures, trances. I realize its indelicate. But I'd prefer to be a bit improper and ask now, than find out at the wrong time in the Tri-Tower yard. "
Leia greets J, introduces herself as Leia, and shakes her hand, complimenting her on her boots, but doesn't seem to fathom the gold pin. k. local:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
"You seem like a chipper young woman. What are you hoping to get out of going back down there? You're not looking for anything particular that we could help you be on the lookout, are you ? ", she says to J.
"oh by the way. You planning to go down armed kid? "
