Seifer observes the man walking closer to him, looking for tell-tale hints of magic. "I'm sorry my friend, I was just casting a spell to take the heat off of my back. I did not mean to alarm you in any way. What is it you are doing over there all by yourself?"
Seifer stops his casting and looks at the man, "My apologies, I was just using a spell to read a book that I have picked up. Is that not allowed so close to Nethys' own church?" Another question comes upon him and he steps closer to the guard to avoid drawing attention, "And what are you doing here all by yourself?"
An inquisitor? He should be looking for traitors to his own faith, not stirring trouble against another. Well, he won't be able to do that much more in the future... Seifer continues observing the ceremony all while looking at the structure of the church in case he has to return to this location in the future.
At the end of the night Seifer leaves with the congregation and heads back to the small room his siblings who Walk in Blood provide. The next morning he returns to town, instead of heading to the Bazaar, going to the hut behind the church to look the place over. He again casts his detection spell and wanders around the premises looking for two things, a place to enter the building, and magical alarms that may be in place.
"It is. I have a minor interest in all religious holidays and heard about one man in particular, a Father Dado?"
To keep his disguise up Seifer sits closer to the back, not wanting to advertise his ability to cast spells, and puts a couple of gold into the collection plate. He sidles up to another in his row, asking, "Why is it that some of the priests are missing for tonight's ceremonies? You would think that on a sacred night like tonight that everyone would be here..."
Seifer continues keeping tabs and mentally raises an eyebrow. Baako. Now there's a name with a face. He called Dado 'Father', so I can assume he's a member of the church. Time to learn more about Dado and his followers, I'll explore his residence tomorrow when he's gone... He turns and heads for the church of Nethys, hoping to pose as an aspirant and learn something of Dado.
Seifer nods and thanks the woman for her time. Time to go and check out that hut he spends time at during the night. Walking on a street parallel to Dado's own Seifer begins reviewing the information he already has on the man.
Getting the information he needs Seifer lets the spell drop, Well, that's intriguing. I'll have to avoid that follower in particular. Or make friends with them... Concerned that Dado is talking about the followers of Achaekek he asks one of the people around him, hoping they've been around long enough to answer, "What 'gypsies' is this man talking about? He seems to want war..."
Hmm...Sycophants hanging on his every word. It may be difficult to get him alone, best check for magic defenses. Thinking such, Seifer finds a quiet corner of the market and makes arcane gestures with his hands while chanting, "አስማትን ፈልግ"
Accomplishing his spell he uses what crowds he can to get close and observe any magic on the man and his followers in passing.
The walk gives Seifer time to change his mindset, devolving back into his meeker persona, allowing him to walk among crowds of people without drawing attention to himself. He heads toward the Bazaar, hoping to observe his target and the interactions Father Dado has with those around him before looking for this hut. |
