Not wanting to interrupt the women's conversation, Ty is content to eat his meal in silence, for the time being, and just listen.

Athriel does likewise.

Marshal is in his room stripped down to his breeches. His clothing hanging to air out. His gear laid out on the floor to check for any damage or missing. He has a small set of twizzers trimming minor bits of his beard...so subtle only another dwarf would notice.

Robine listens intently to Petra's sharing. "A Thassilonian relic, you say," she responds, before quickly addressing the missed appointment. "Perhaps this girl is one of the abducted?" she wonders aloud, placing the last bit of food on her plate in her mouth, joining Marora and Keylee whom had already finished their meals.

"I wish you well," she says. "But we really must leave no to make our rooms before dark."

"I too must find sleep before the day starts new. May you be blessed." Petra goes back to her comrades.
"Unless there are further insights, I'm for bed..."

Ty wrinkles his brow, "That seemed to end rather abruptly, didn't it? Wonder why..."

Athriel nods his head in agreement. "If I were a betting man, I would say they rushed out to confrere among themselves. Do you think they are interested in the relic?"

Meanwhile...

Marshal is finishing up on night time workout than he hoped into his bed. His axe resting against it within reach...the rest of his gear packed and ready for a quick escape..he was always ready to run off if required.

Petra looks startled at Ty and Athriel. "I must be overly exhausted to have missed something? Why do you suspect?" Then in a hushed voice "How could they possibly know about our quest or its purpose?"

Ty shakes his head, "I don't know if they did. I'm just saying it seemed like they ended your conversation really quickly after you mentioned her..."

After Robine, Marora, and Keylee excuse themselves for the evening, perhaps too abruptly, Athriel, Petra, and Ty follow the lead of Marshal and settle into their rooms for the night where they enjoy an uninterrupted slumber.

The group wakes well-rested the following morning and enjoys another complimentary meal after making any individual preparations for the new day in their rooms.



So, what is the plan for the new day?

Also, feel free to role-play any last-minute events from the previous night if I jumped too far ahead.

Petra meets the rest in the breakfast hall the next morning.
"I'm out of ideas...did someone say they new where her father lived? Any other ideas?

Athriel runs his hands through his hair in frustration. "What of the Tower Girls that the Amazing Zagrathy mentioned? He said they were looking for her. Maybe we or they can be of assistance in the search."

Marshal joined the others and frowned. "So I was thinking..you might say I am mad. But I think we got set up the other night. The drunk knew we wanted to find the missing girl. So he sent us to the building, and than we find a wizard there who I do believe said something about wanting to take people away...and than both go missing. I think we need to find that mage again and make sure whatever he is doing with people stops. I think he knew more than he let on."

Ty shrugs, "Say we find the mage again. What do you want to do? Turn him in to the guard? We don't have any proof he did anything wrong. Or kill him? Again, we don't have any proof he did anything wrong. In any case, we can worry about the mage later; we need to find this Natalya girl and the sands of time do not stop falling."

"What do we know? She was in a Sczarni gang. She said they were going after an object. Then Sheila never heard from her again AND it sounds like the Sczarni are looking for her, as well."

"Sheila suggested a few things - that she was picked up by Nidalese slavers, that she may have been picked up by the city guard, and that she visited that Zograthy bloke. We already checked with him. Maybe we should try the city guard, visit Arvensoar and see if they have her locked up or know anything about her or the Nidalese abductions."

Marshal just rubbed the bridge of his nose in frustration than shrugged. "Whatever you lot want to do....i'm in with you till the job is done." He smiled slightly.
