Courtroom Blues part I
<OOC> Setiawan says, "Hello!" <OOC> Setiawan says, "I also expect Aldean to come, but he will be late." <OOC> Setiawan says, "Okay, just to reiterate, this is a non-combat plot. As far as I understand, that means that your reward will be XP and gold-based. I don't know how it's calculated!" <OOC> Kaj says, "Sounds great :)" <OOC> Haggerty says, "Hello. :)" <OOC> Setiawan says, "From last time: a local merchant, Jan'ros Teolwren, has been arrested on charges related to the possession demon Asumit. She has been put in prison, but Honourable Georg is convinced that she did not do it. He has persuaded y'all to come and help keep her out of prison by finding evidence and representing her in court!" <OOC> Setiawan says, "This bit of the plot, then, is about gathering evidence. You are meeting Honourable Georg down at the docks where, apparently, Jan'ros's offices are."
Down at the docks, there isn't much noise. It's a bit early for the sailors, usually with sore heads, to be out. When you get here, though, you're not alone --- there are other adventurers about at this hour, and one particular Jade Islander...
Honourable Georg stands at the edge of the dock, looking nervously out to the sea. He fidgets slightly, and keeps glancing around, seeing if there are any people around.
<OOC> Setiawan says, "Posin'..." <OOC> Setiawan says, "Jump in as you like." <OOC> Setiawan says, "Honest." <OOC> Kaj says, "Oh I thouhght you we're posin :)" <OOC> Kaj says, "as in 'more to come, so let me finish'! :)" <OOC> Setiawan says, "Ah did." <OOC> Setiawan says, "Sorry folks." <OOC> Setiawan's head=all over the place
Kailin makes his way down to the docks, his yawn coming out loudly as he walks. He stretches his long jotun arms as he walks, not sure of what he will find on arrival, but keeping to his word to check out the situation and give an honest effort to find the truth, regardless of what it might bring. His eyes spot Georg as he approaches and he raises a hand in greeting stoicly, still rising from the fog of sleep. "Hail. Alright, let's get down to this. Where do we start first?"
<OOC> Setiawan says, "Great stuff. Anymore?"
The half-giant Kaj lives down here, earning his keep as a stevedore and with miscellaneous tasks, so he has been waiting on Honorable Georgs (or as he calls him: Onorabel) arrival, though he seems to have been distracted by chatting with some gulls. So it is only when he hears Kailin arrive that he sits up from dangling his legs off the pier and makes his way over to join them.
Morning! he offers, smiling.
<OOC> Setiawan says, "Learned something new there."
Aldean has arrived.
<OOC> Aldean waves! Sorry for late, I have to be let in to work, so I can't arrive before a particular time. :P I'm still catching up. <OOC> Setiawan says, "It's not a problem."
Haggerty arrives from a speedy if ground-bound carriage because harbor-side, one intattentively bound horse easily becomes two and a sack of gold. Okay not.
The redhead breathes deep of the heady scents which mark the sea and the fine odors of a harbor like the dead donkey rat slamming into the peer with the tide where a young crustacean and a one-eyed raven take alternating bites. He further enhances this situation with a raspberry and salty licorice lozenge which adds to the suave notions on every exhale as the young arcanist steps closer and waves at the honorable named guy and the other person, "Greetings and good morning. I gather this be the ting to convene at to set a man free?" After a little whine from a bag, at his waist, the blue-clad wizardling lets Kuno down who bumbles to the water's edge on his silly tiny legs.
<OOC> Haggerty waves, "No worries." <OOC> Setiawan says, "I have caught people up OOC'ly (well, Kaj), but if you want to do it IC'ly too, I'm happy to roll with that." <OOC> Kaj says, "Hey Hey Aldean :)" <OOC> Kaj says, "Kuno reminds me of Yo Quiero Taco Bell ;)" <OOC> Setiawan laughs.
Between it being low tide and lots of sore heads on the docks, the place is indeed quiet. It's not deserted, though -- a bit further down the docks, the sound of panpipes, expertly played, drifts up from the edge of one of the piers. Rather than being a full melody, it sounds like a practice or a warmup -- simple scales and snatches of tunes here and there.
Kailin turns towards Kaj and smiles with a nod of acknowledgement. Then to Haggerty he does the same, smiling as he sees more assistance. "Excellent. More assistance, the easier it will be to find a truth." He gives a shake of his head to Haggerty and says, "Nay, a woman. A noblewoman, rightly. So we shall see what happens. Accused of being in league with demons, but she professes innocence. We'll get to the bottom of things one way or another."
From afar, Aldean lets Kaj pull him in. Kaj knows him.
"That's a fair assessment, and you're in the right place if you're here to help." Georg assures the assembled peoples. "But I can't stay..." He mumbles something about 'shipments' and 'delays' and all sorts of other baffling words. "But, Jan'ros's office is just there---" he points to one of the brightly-coloured, slim terraced buildings on the quayside. "Go in, have a chat." With that, the Jade Islander looks out to sea again, then hustles off down the pier into the distance.
<OOC> Setiawan says, "Okay, folks, once you're assembled I'll give a bit more detail. For now, I'm off to make coffee." <OOC> Setiawan says, "Georg's appearance is just cameo."
You paged Aldean with 'Aldean, you know this guy from (a) the Temple District, where he was collecting 'alms', and (b) the Theatre District, where he was selling charity bricks.'
"Curious fellow, our friend Onorable is!" whispers Kaj to Kailin when he's sure the Islander is out of hearing range.
"Before we go in though, I'm no courtier, but I do believe I recognise that ...style." He smiles down to Kailin and adds, "You know: when the warm up sounds better than most concert halls?" He grins and turns towards the source of the sound.
"Bastian!" he booms, defaulting to the name he trained so hard to use down here, though it may no longer be necessary.
<OOC> Haggerty says, "Kuno is a pug, but they look equally silly. Only pugs are more adorable even though they are ugly shrunk bulldog who gnaw everything to shreds when bored. :)"
Down at the end of the pier, a man with short blonde hair over deep-tanned skin looks up from the panpipes between his hands. He's dressed relatively simply in dockworker's apparel, but he seems to recognize the booming voice, and fairly quickly stands up to join the group. Some will recognize him as the bard Aldean, in /very/ different attire from his usual -- some may not. "Fair winds, Kaj," he greets in a baritone that is rough around the edges and marred by a sailor's brogue. "Tide be out; ain't no work about till later, aye? What're ye doin' down here?"
<OOC> Aldean says, "I'm still not convinced that chihuahuas are not secretly overgrown rats." <OOC> Setiawan grins. <OOC> Setiawan says, "According to one Yorkshire lass, pugs are "ra'et cute." Not sure I agree."

It's Korday, Pryntar 04 08:11:07 1018. The full moon is up. The tide is low and rising. Fair weather clouds drift through the blue sky from the west, along with the wind. The sunlight on the snow is dazzling, and it gleams on the ice.
<OOC> Kaj says, "reminds me of this: http://starecat.com/content/wp-content/uploads/wolf-product-of-evolution-pug-product-of-intelligent-design.jpg" <OOC> Kaj says, "posing now, sorry." <OOC> Setiawan says, "Okay, are you going to split up to look for evidence, or stay together? (There is no added danger to splitting up, except that I have to prepend all my poses with 'page X='"
Kailin looks from Georg to the offices and when he looks back the man is going about his business. He nods at that, glad to have less of a bias as a distraction as he tries to form an opinion on the matter. "Excellent. Let's see what the lady is about, then." He turns then to look down towards Aldean, following the direction of Kaj and knowing well his meaning. "Indeed. The more the merrier. Welcome to join us, sir. We're off to look into one particular matter of a lady accused of demonic involvement." He looks back to the office and starts heading in that direction. "I have no idea how or where to begin to look for signs of demonic involvement, but we'll see what we can see." He rubs his hands together as he goes, trying to consider all possiblities and open his mind to whatever is around him.
Smiling down at Aldean with a genuine fondness, Kaj replies, Far out, indeed, and its bringing up a feast, he adds, nodding towards the scene being played out by the raven and rat pecking at the drowned creature.
Kailin and I were asked to come see about a woman; seems she was the puppet of Asumits evil, but claims innocence. Good fortune indeed that youre here, since youve been keeping an eye on things He then quiets down a bit, Been speaking to the rats and cats, and all say the same thing: creatures that dont smell right and dont belong aboundwe still have an infestation of sorts, brother.
<OOC> Kailin heads to the office. <OOC> Kaj says, "not sure why my client is eating my quotation marks" <OOC> Aldean says, "Did you feed it lunch?" <OOC> Aldean :) <OOC> Kailin says, "Early morning munchies." <OOC> Kaj :) <OOC> Kaj says, "I'm going to grab lunch in fifteen, BUT That only entails disconnecting for 3 minutes while grab a tible and jump on the wifi there :)"
Haggerty faintly slurps on the sweet(?) and nods frequently which makes his wizard's hat dented point wiggle this way and that. "A woman. I see. It's why the bards are here. I should have deduced this already." The little dog rubs against the northman's right booted calf in an in-between walk back as if the mage's leg were a artifice lamp post or tree, snorts and looks about with big eyes until the sailor-attired fellow catches his attention. The humanoid compatriot grins at some point which includes a flash of shiny teeth as much as the well-cared-for prothetics. "Thank you for your time, Master Greg. The weather is just fine, but we can go inside to fine out more." He shrugs, "The warm ups have to prove themselves." Pug sits, blinks, stand wiggles his wet bottom and waddles back to the shorter (by comparison to giantborn) guy. "Greetings."
<OOC> Setiawan says, "That's confusing." <OOC> Setiawan prepends: hmms, "The consumption of quotation marks? _That's confusing_."
All smile fades from Aldean's expression at the description of what's going on, and he folds his arms across his chest. "Mayhap yer rats an' cats can point out whether she be clean or no, mate, but that ain't mean she is or ain't involved. Be some as be caught themselves an' turn to catchin' others in turn." Haggerty's remark draws an easy, winning grin that holds nothing of offense or anger, only easy good humor. "Aye, I'll be helpin' ye as I can, mates. If there be more o' Asumit's puppets about, Father's folk'll be wantin' to know." The arms fall to his side. "That all ye know, the now?"
Aldean pages: Just as a reminder, Aldean will be hanging back and providing pointers only if they get lost. Aldean pages: I don't want his level to end up shoving the others out. You paged Aldean with 'I understand, if that's your preference :) Honestly though, I wouldn't mind.' You paged Aldean with 'I have almost nothing prepared for this plot, it's very player-run.'
<OOC> Kaj says, "hehe" <OOC> Setiawan says, "Who's gonna respond to Aldean's question?" <OOC> Kaj says, "I will, but am sorry i'm slow"
Aldean pages: OK. :) I will help and guide but not necessarily lead unless needed. Seem fair? Aldean pages: This is one of the things you need to watch for when playing high-Tier characters. You paged Aldean with 'It's true, and mixing high and low tier can be a risk.' Aldean pages: It's less truly a preference than a courtesy that high-level characters are expected to observe.
"It's all we know, fair enough, Bastian," replies Kaj, adding the little bit that may have been left out, "She's a local merchant, Jan'ros Teolwren, and she's been charged and imprisoned, but Onorable says he believes she's innocent, and that proof of it may lie in her offices there, even if the rats and cats can't be taken at their word!"
You paged Aldean with 'Still, I think it's nice to let non-combat plots be open to everyone.' Aldean pages: Agreed! And that is how it should be. Long distance to Aldean: Setiawan nodnods. Aldean pages: I'm happy to help, I just hae to watch myself so I don't step on toes.
<OOC> Kaj says, "i am goin gto disconect for 4 minutes, i'll catch up when i return!" <OOC> Aldean says, "OK" <OOC> Setiawan says, "I'm going to send you all to her offices." <OOC> Setiawan says, "Posin' now."
"Aye, then let's be lookin'." Aldean stretches his arms above his head in a bone popping stretch and tucks his panpipes into his belt. "Seems ye be lookin' fer two things -- were she caught, an' were she catchin' others?"
Haggerty stretches his neck and nods. The man is quite the friendly sort, it seems. "We do not know. I suppose I could ask a few templars, swords and lances to view the lady with a chosen's eyes, but that is all. I do not know for sure myself. Because she is a lady and adamantine regarding her innocence and the good Honorable is as well, this needs to be assumed for the time being. Then, when the pristine soul is proven, you can abduct her behind the courtains at a ball." He rolls his head and resumes with, "Information is in the building and with those who know the lady. Please call me Haggerty, by the way. If it is good for a master theurge and six lances of the Battle Maiden, it is good for all. It will save your tongue from a twist and my ears from bleeding as you struggle with my name."
As you step through the narrow doorway from the quayside into the offices, you're suddenly hit with the feeling of chaos. There are half a dozen other people there already, all milling around, barking, raising their voices. Some are asking for answers, some are asking for payment, and others still are trying to explain that they have tonnes and tonnes of goods for Jan'ros just /waiting/ to be warehoused. Behind a little desk is a short female mulblood, bespectacled, in fine tailored clothing, trying desperately to make herself heard over the clamour.
Kaj pages: can i intimidate everyone into shutting up for her? :) You paged Kaj with 'Yes.'
Kailin nods as he walks, saying to Aldean, "That's about the long and short of it. We're to find out what is really going on here. Georg wants us to prove her innocent, but I'm for finding the truth of things and no more. Hopefully, it turns out well in Georg's favor." He makes his way into the offices and looks around, seeing what he can see from just inside the doorway. His eyes give the room a good once over and he shakes his head at the chaos. "Not great for inspecting..." He ponders how to deal with all the people and focuses on the one behind the counter, looking over the short female.
Ducking under the doorframe, Kaj takes in the situation quickly and makes a snap decision. He stands to his full height and booms: "SILENCE!" Then he points at the woman, "Form a queue! Let her speak!"
He then crosses his arms and glowers at anyone who does not comply.
GAME: Kaj rolls intimidation: (4)+intimidation: 4 GAME: Kaj rolls intimidate: (10)+9: 19 GAME: Kaj rolls intimidate: (12)+9: 21
<OOC> Kaj says, "I get two rolls and can take the best one cuz of the feat, err," <OOC> Kaj says, "Intimidating Size, that's it :)" <OOC> Setiawan says, "I'll use the first two, then, which are 13 and 19. I'm guessing you're going for the 19." <OOC> Kaj says, "Yep. Wasn't sure how the first one went, since i typeoed the skill ;) cool."
The gaggle of merchants mutter under their breath, and eyeing the gang of adventurers, one slips out into the street, mumbling curses. They form an orderly queue, but insist that you speak to the mulblood behind the desk first and foremost.
GAME: Setiawan rolls 1d6: (4): 4
<OOC> Setiawan says, "You have 40 minutes."
Kaj pages: If that's possible? I would like to have my raven(s) follow the one who slipped out, please? You paged Kaj with 'That's fine.'
A baritone chuckle greets Haggerty's remark, behind Kaj's booming shout. "Aye. Haggerty it is, then." He pauses briefly. "Call me Bastian, mate." He seems content to hang back and watch the others as they work. "I'd be after knowin' who she knows."
<OOC> Aldean claims that.
Kaj turns to watch the departing fellow, getting a good look, and mutters something incomprehensible.
Unbeknownst to the fellow, he's now being followed by Shard--Kaj's raven familiar.
You paged Kaj with 'The female dwarf wanders off through the docksides, muttering something in khazadi.' Haggerty pages: I was slow to pose. No worries.
Kaj then turns to Aldean. "I got them to listen, and there's no one better than you at getting them to sing?"
Kaj pages: OK :)
<OOC> Setiawan says, "So, you're in and available to talk to the mulblood." <OOC> Aldean says, "I am actually going to let other people talk first. I'm the newcomer here and you guys know way more about what's going on than I do."
Haggerty nods the head and hat at the 'sailor', "It's a pleasure, Mate Bastian." Narrowly bodied one pets the top of the tiny black one's head and fondles his slightly bent ears, "Soon Kuno. We look first, then we might need you." Arcanist gives the ogling canine a tasty treat he chews on once fit into the mawlet with a surprisingly large tongue. Meanwhile, the blue-eyed Hagg squints at the mulblood, giving the poor clerk something of the Hagg's eye.
Kailin makes his way towards the mulblood female while everyone else is caught up by Kaj. "Hello..." He gives a polite smile and a tilt of his head. "Sorry to interrupt. You're very busy here, obviously, but we're needing a bit of information about your boss, Jan'ros Teolwren. There's this nasty rumor that she's caught up with demons and quite frankly we'd like to know why." He rests a hand on the counter and raises an eyebrow at the question, trying to appear casual. "Something has to have started this particular rumor. Something or someone. You might know better than us about it."
Kaj crosses his arms and blocks any egress from the office, giving Kailin an approving nod. "Ask about the dwarf that just left," he says, in Jotun.
<OOC> Setiawan says, "I'll assume you asked about the dwarf."
Aldean pages: FYI, one of the warnings that Aldean will give them later -- do NOT attempt to go after anyone you suspect of being Asumit's puppet alone. They communicate with each other.
<OOC> Kaj says, "OK :)" <OOC> Kaj says, "i'm just waiitng on pose order somewhat :)" <OOC> Aldean says, "Seti, how many exits are there from the room? Is there a second?"
At the mention of the khazadi female who slipped out, the mulblood sneezes. She reaches into a breast pocket and retrieves a handkerchief, with a flourish, and blows her nose. "Excuse me," she says, in unaccented Tradespeak. "Pay Thilda no mind. She is haughty, but decent enough. A craftswoman of some renown, if I understand, but she does not like to be cowed. I imagine she will look for an authority figure." She pauses, wiping her mouth a little. "My name is Inden, and I am Ms. Teolwren's assistant. And yes, she has been arrested, and no, I don't know when she'll be back, and no, I don't have the authority to pay you." She arches an eyebrow. "Information, though? Are... are you from the Tribune?"
<OOC> Setiawan says, "I couldn't remember what the newspaper is called." <OOC> Setiawan says, "Yes. There's a door behind Inden's desk, which is not open." <OOC> Aldean says, "No worries."
"Naw, lass." Aldean had been about to lean on a nearby door jamb, but instead straightens up, offering her his best charming and easy smile, meant to put her at ease. "I be workin' wit' the Father's Temple on these demon-creatures. "If she be caught ... or be involved ... might be others around her as we ain't know about. We be lookin' fer all them as be caught, so Temple can banish the lot an' give these folk back their lives. Mayhap ye might tell us a bit about them as she knows or mighta worked with, or how she mighta come to be involved?"
<OOC> Setiawan says, "I'm replying to that to move forwards."
Inden looks at Aldean carefully, and pushes her spectacles back up to the bridge of her nose. "She has dealings with a great number of merchants, sir, and others besides. The grounds of her arrest were several, but I am informed that rather than being under the influence of demons, she merely aided and abetted them." She sneezes again, and peers round the two jotun, addressing the merchants. "Excuse me, Master Khazad?" One of the throng steps forward slightly. "I'm terribly sorry, but would you step outside for a moment, please? I am somewhat allergic to the scent of your beard oil."
<OOC> Aldean says, "Sense Motive" <OOC> Kaj says, "Amen" <OOC> Setiawan says, "Yours?" <OOC> Aldean says, "I want to know whether that's the real reason she's kicking him out of the room." <OOC> Kaj says, "On why she's asking that Khaz to step out, i think :)"

You paged (Aldean, Kaj) with 'You get the feeling she's pretty trustworthy.'
<OOC> Kailin can aid another. <OOC> Setiawan says, "I'm neither confirming nor denying that it's just flavour."

"Aided?" Kailin gives a glance back to his allies. "Well that's an entirely different beast altogether. How did she supposedly aid the demons? And did she do so knowingly?" Kailin presses the points a bit more now and moves aside, keeping his eyes fixed on Inden. He doesn't seem to worry about anyone else in the room at this point, besides Inden and his allies.
<OOC> Kailin says, "Haggerty. She's really a dragon and she's about to eat you." <OOC> Kailin says, "OMG Haggerty why did you just stab out only lead in the face!?!" <OOC> Kaj laughs.
Haggerty eyes this Inden person who is visibly mul. That is no good. He manages to retain a friendly tone to his voice, however, "That oil. You sure? What fragrances are in mixture, please? You should be more sensitive and find another. My family uses makerel oil. It keeps the hair shiny and smooth. Sea lion lard makes a good rub for the face. Did you know that?"
<OOC> Haggerty says, "Not 3.0 or earlier."
Inden looks up at Kailin, straining her neck to get a good view of the bottom of his face. "I understand that their lines of enquiry seem to stem from some imported materiel. However, the goods themselves have long been sold, and the appropriate documents seized as 'evidence'." As Haggerty addresses the source of her irritation, she glances at him too, eyeing him strangely for his recommendations.
The khazadi, embarrassed by the whole affair, mumbles very quietly, and leaves the room. There is a slight smell of incense on the air as he does so.
Kaj points at the door behind Inen. "And back there? Could we have a look at any similar items and anything else you think might be relevant to her innocence being proven?"
"Problem there, lass. Them as mess with demons be damned near never jes' aidin'. Either yer controllin' em, or ye be their cabin boy." A crude reference at best from Aldean, who's moved over to a window to the side of the desk. "I'd be after hearin' more o' how all this came to light, m'self. Seems damned funny, aye? Mayhap ye'd be willin to spin that."
Kailin motions a hand in the air and asks, "Do you happen to have a recollection of the goods themselves? Or who they were sold to? Or purchased from?" He shrugs his corded shoulders and says, "I know a good clerk like you would remember more details about a transaction that seemed to turn out to be so important." He sighs lightly and adds, "Failing that... might you know which office seized the documents so that we might look into them ourselves for her defense?"
<OOC> Kailin says, "Rapid fire interrogation technique. Answer the question! Which one? All of them!" <OOC> Aldean says, "Sorry."
Many wizard have big beards which cover most of their faces which serves to hide embarrassment. Hagg does not and it shows while the late dawn's exasperated rooster yells in the redhead's inner ear. When stared at, he can see nuances in Inden the clerk's eyes so he views those for greater learning, if in a purely analytical fashion. "Goods, huh?"
<OOC> Setiawan says, "I think someone should make a diplomacy roll. DC...14." <OOC> Aldean says, "Anyone got Diplomacy? I'll try it if nobody else does."
The clerk looks flustered as the questions come thick and fast!
<OOC> Setiawan says, "I'll finish off her pose after a Dip roll." <OOC> Aldean says, "ANybody? Bueller?" <OOC> Kaj says, "I do not :) I default to intimidation ;)" <OOC> Setiawan is scared of Kaj.

Aldean pages: Mine is +22 straight up. I'm not going to use it unless I have to.
<OOC> Kaj says, "Giantdiplopowah."
Still, the size of the two jotuns seems to put her at ease, and she begins answering their questions, starting with Kaj. "That's Ms. Teolwren's office. Papers and so on. I suppose... I suppose you could have a look. I'd have to supervise though." Next she turns to Aldean. "I don't know how this came to light, nor who was the prosecuting party. But I agree that there is something more to this." Next, she looks to Kailin again.
GAME: Setiawan rolls 1d20-1+3+6: (18)+-1+3+6: 26
<OOC> Kailin says, "Excellent memory fair maiden!" <OOC> Kaj says, "Yea :)"
"Yes," she says. She is pleased by the compliment. "There were several crates of magic items. I don't recall the sort, and I don't typically ask. They were brought in from the Vast, by carriage. Once they arrived, they were sold quickly to all kinds of people throughout the city. Two weeks later, Ms. Teolwren was arrested. The documents were seized by the city watch, but they will have been turned over to the appropriate law firm."
<OOC> Setiawan says, "That was rather good. She made the roll without any bonuses." <OOC> Kaj golf claps for the lady. <OOC> Aldean says, "Wow." <OOC> Kaj says, "I have to afk for 20 mins. Work summons." <OOC> Setiawan gnar. <OOC> Setiawan says, "I'm finished posing."
Kailin smiles to Inden and nods in her direction. "I think you for your assistance. You've provided many good leads. We'll definitely follow up on those." He glances towards the others and says, "Unless there's anything else, I think we should look at whatever was left behind in the office? Its likely cleared of anything useful, but you never know."
GAME: Haggerty rolls diplomacy: (18)+3: 21
"Aye?" That seems to catch Aldean's interest. He's keeping it low-key, though, every inch the dockworker or sailor. "Ye'd not remember any o' the buyers, aye?" He's still leaning against the window, arms crossed across his chest.
GAME: Setiawan rolls 1d20+8: (4)+8: 12
Inden shakes her head. "I am sorry, sir, but I don't keep tabs on our customers. Ms. Teolwren may have documented them, and they will have their own receipts, of course. I don't recall their being anyone out of the ordinary; perhaps some existing customers, perhaps some new." She pushes the door behind her open, showing them into the disorderly office beyond. "I will have to deal with these others, but I shall help you if I can."
Haggerty wonders what a conglomerate or corporation of barristers might be like. Are there warforged involved who stamp and sign writs all day and night? It is a sociatal stepping stone, but it also appears to be scary which makes it into the prentice wizard's words until the pug snorts while he cracks the crunchy treat right open and continues to munch on its two halves. Hagg smirks, "Law firms.. Interesting. We could use some of those addresses and permits to help us form a clearer picture. Not to forget.. Have those items be examined to discern any curses or foul traps, please?"
"If ye've the way of it, might be lookin' fer yerself, too, mate," Aldean suggests to Haggerty, without moving. "If ye ain't, might be able to m'self."
"Sorry for the delay folks," Kailin says to the people waiting in the office. "But the sooner we resolve matters the sooner things can get back to business as usual. Thank you for your patience!" With that he turns and heads towards the opened doorway. Kailin makes his way into the office beyond, but before he begins rummaging through anything he signs a song to detect other magic that might be in the room or traces of something that might be left behind. He sings it softly to himself and gives it time to play out, letting the notes linger, just to be sure.
GAME: Kailin casts Detect Magic. Caster Level: 3 DC: 12
<OOC> Kailin says, "There we go."
You paged Kailin with 'You don't feel anything magickal in the room.'
Inden shakes her head. "Neither I nor Ms. Teolwren have the appropriate faculties to check such things. Indeed, it is unlikely most of the crates were ever even /opened/, much less scrutinised in great detail. You must understand, we import and export in bulk, and not by individual items." She turns away from the four adventurers, and begins addressing a tall egalrin with a handful of papers.
Kailin gives it time, but nothing appears to him in the form of magic. "No spells used that I can detect. So everything here is on a mundane level." He joins in the search looking for documents related to the shipment that Inden mentioned, looking for any notes regarding shipments from the Vast, payments to or from the Vast, any transactions around that time period with a price range of what might come in a shipment full of magical items, and the like.
<OOC> Setiawan says, "I reckon some skill checks are needed for this. Kailin, do you have anything you think is appropriate? It's a Knowledge / Craft / Profession kind of thing." <OOC> Kaj says, "are we still in the back room and if so, can we search for secret doors and passages ? (cuz what's D&D without searching for secret doors ;)"
Kaj pages: how about k/arcana? That's all i got :)
<OOC> Setiawan says, "Ya can, if you tell me how to do it." <OOC> Kaj says, "I think it's jsut a perception roll"
After some time, Aldean turns away from the woman as well and drifts inside the open back room, looking around for himself, most especially for signs of hidden paperwork. He glances aback at the others to see if they are oming as well. "Damn," he mutters to himself. "Left it." What, is unclear, but he looks up, instea inspecting the walls intently.
<OOC> Kailin says, "Doesn't seem like it." <OOC> Aldean says, "What, secret doors?" <OOC> Kailin says, "Just perception." <OOC> Setiawan says, "Okay. If you want, make a perception roll."
GAME: Aldean rolls perception: (13)+13: 26
<OOC> Setiawan says, "Looking through a massive stack of papers is tricky, unless you know what you're after. Not impossible, but tricky."
Aldean pages: What he's looking for are hidden areas where some paperwork might be stashed.
GAME: Kailin rolls perception: (6)+11: 17
Aldean pages: You cna have ordinary paperwork in the open ... and less ordinary paperwork elsewhere.
GAME: Kaj rolls perception: (13)+11: 24
You paged (Kaj, Aldean) with 'Actually, there's a painting of a ship on the wall that's slightly out of kilter with the surroundings. Whilst the walls are a little dusty, there's a patch of less dusty wall at a slight angle around this painting.'
<OOC> Aldean says, "AFK a sec" <OOC> Kailin says, "Can I cast disguise self? And disguise myself as someone who knows exactly where to look to find what I'm looking for?" <OOC> Kailin says, "Cause that would help." <OOC> Setiawan says, "I can't think of a skill that would be super appropriate, but in a way I think a pure Intelligence check might be a good start. It'd be DC 20." <OOC> Kaj says, "I don't think he's serious. hi wolf :)"
To (Setiawan, Aldean), Kaj pages: Oooh ok, sorry, i'm a little lost, but is anyone else in ehre other than 'the party' right now? Or would it be obvious to anyone if we fiddled with it (the painting) You paged (Kaj, Aldean) with 'Posing some answer to that question now.' To (Setiawan, Aldean), Kaj pages: KK :) <OOC> Kailin says, "Oh, haha. No I was just joking. But I'll take a 10 percent chance on an Int check."
GAME: Kailin rolls int: (20)+int: 20
<OOC> Kailin says, "Werd." <OOC> Kaj says, "Natural feeeeelin"
From her own office in the entrance room, Inden looks up between clients, attempting to keep an eye on you. "Please," she says. "Try not to disturb too much."
<OOC> Setiawan says, "Wow." <OOC> Kailin says, "Back back no takebacks!"
Kaj nods, "Of course, Miss Inden," replies Kaj and then moves to block her line of sight to the painting, nodding at Aldean to have a look.
The stack of papers is enormous, but sifting through it reveals a few things. There are a lot of transactions to and fro, from the Vast. Shipments in of materiel, not all magic, but some. Shipments out of books, and other commodities than civilization can offer to wilder places. Receipts and inventories for the dates in question are, of course, missing, but as background material, what you have now is something you can interrogate in more detail.
<OOC> Setiawan says, "Ask whatever questions you think you could get answers too from this hoard." <OOC> Kaj says, "Any names of shippers/manufacturers?" <OOC> Kaj says, "customs officials?"
Apparently, Aldean's spotted it as well, and nods up at the Jotun. "Aye," he calls back. He waits until he can catch Kailin's or Haggerty's eyes, then meaningfully taps the ship itself, then the less dusty patch beneath it.
<OOC> Kailin says, "Is there any information related to the mentioned shipment from the Vast?"
Names keep coming up in the rosters: Guilhelm & Leifi, and Kadla Akordotr and Sons. Traders. There are some customs notes, too, stamped with Alexandros's symbols.
Haggerty says to the parting mul, "You should consider a working partnership with one of the benevolent gods' temples, Mistress Inden. I would personally suggest you contact the Serrielites, but that is by personal prefence." sighs slowly, "No curse protection. No improved arcane vision. I rather not. If there are stamps or certificates from temples or the arcanists' society, that would make this much easier. I can surely look for magical auras when I do not include you in the picture, Mister Bastian." Careful not to include the two big guys with their innate magics of sorts and the 'sailor', the northman scans for magic auras himself to help assist what he looks for. At some point, the pug can help and empathically provide his vantage and impressions.
<OOC> Aldean laughs. <OOC> Aldean says, "Truth."
GAME: Haggerty casts Detect Magic. Caster Level: 2 DC: 14
<OOC> Haggerty says, "parting=not quite parting"
You paged Haggerty with 'You don't sense any magic auras here, apart from those emanating from your fellow adventurers.'
GAME: Haggerty rolls Perception+2: (10)+3+2: 15
Try as you might, you can find no information relating to shipments in from the Vast in the kind of timeframe you'd expect. It's as Inden pointed out --- the papers must have been seized already.
There's a hollow sound as Aldean taps the wall, as though there's a cavity behind it.
Haggerty pages: Knowedge Engineering or Dungeoneering to guess at secret places, niches, doors? Knowledge Geography to find any leads which might hint at Vast locations? Any unusual currents in the room?
Kailin casts about with the paperwork relying mostly on luck to stumble upon something and that isn't really working out, but at the very least he's able to start putting patterns together. He manages to decipher the filing system intuitively on a very basic level and he instinctively refocuses his search based on that feeling. In doing so, things start to make sense much more sense and he relates to his allies what this thought process is so that it can help them as well. Try as he might, he can't find direct information relating to the mentioned shipment, but he takes notes on other information in case something becomes relevant later.
You paged Haggerty with 'Knowledge/Geography is a good one. Engineering might help with the room in general.'
<OOC> Haggerty says, "The rogue I did not make would ask for "the real books" now. ;)"
GAME: Haggerty rolls Knowledge/Geography: (16)+8: 24
<OOC> Aldean laughs. <OOC> Kaj says, "are these guys exporters from the vast or other importers? Guilhelm & Leifi, and Kadla Akordotr and Sons"
GAME: Haggerty rolls Knowledge/Engineering: (18)+8: 26
<OOC> Aldean says, "I need to idle a bit, so I know what I'm going to do." <OOC> Haggerty says, "He was supposed to be a lawyer, even. :)" <OOC> Kailin forgot his bardiness gives him all the knowledges... <OOC> Aldean says, "It does!"
You paged Haggerty with 'If you've been looking through the papers too, you don't find references to places of which you've heard. The Vast is an enormous place, and it's notable for having very few large settlements. It's likely that the traders travelled between small places and took what they could.' From afar, Haggerty nods, "Alright. Still helps." :) You paged Haggerty with 'Yeah, it definitely sounds like there's a little cavity behind that wall. The lay of the room, too --- no windows on that side, and the room is slightly smaller than the previous in that dimension.'
At the hollow sound, a smirk crosses Aldean's face. He looks meaningfully at the others, then taps it again to be sure they caught the sound. That done, he wanders over to the door where the discussions are still ongoing, and simply leans in the doorframe to listen, his back to the group and his entire focus seemingly on Mistress Inden and the group outside.
<OOC> Aldean says, "His intent: create a distraction without creating chaos." <OOC> Setiawan says, "Flavour time." <OOC> Aldean says, "Effectively what he means to do is distract Inden and the people outside while the others peek behind the ship." <OOC> Kailin says, "Sounds... fascinate...ing!"
"... no, Ms. Cilla," Inden explains to the beautiful egalrin female who is squawking loudly at her. "I can't pay you for the sculptures, because /Ms. Teolwren's assets have been frozen/." She turns to another merchant. "And as for you, Genarro, I'm sure your sharp wits can be utilised to find another merchant. Have you spoken to Honorable Georg?"
<OOC> Setiawan says, "Has anyone asked a question or done a pose to which I haven't responded?" <OOC> Aldean says, "Aldean's going to the doorframe to listen outside and create a distraction for the others if necessary, so they can peek behind the ship painting without drawing Miss Inden's attention." <OOC> Kailin says, "No, good here."
Haggerty upnods, "My estimations of the room's makeup leave no other conclusion as well." He nods to signal strong agreement and walks over to where he can look for an opening mechanism. He is not really quiet here. "Positively nothing from the Vast left in the paper stacks."
<OOC> Setiawan says, "Haggerty, what do you want to do to investigate?"
Kaj pages: aLDEAN RUN'S into kaj trying to do the same thing ;)
Kailin looks up from the piles of paperwork to Aldean then to the ship. He stands and then motions to Haggerty and Kaj to the ship, subtley. He then also makes his way out towards the the other room, crossing as far as possible from the doorway, in order to make sure everyone is between himself and space behind the ship that is about to be investigated. He pretends to read his notes from the search, going over them as though he missed something, which gives him time to be in a position to react should something go wrong.
<OOC> Kaj says, "if it seems appropriate, i will use my huge torso to try to block the view of the entire painting, and then lift it off and towards my chest, or at leastr open it, but do so very gently :)" <OOC> Setiawan says, "Okay. Pose it!" <OOC> Setiawan says, "You're all so cautious!" <OOC> Aldean says, "There's a reason." <OOC> Aldean says, "They have to do it quietly and quickly, with the door open." <OOC> Setiawan says, "Too many Whirlplots?" <OOC> Aldean says, "That too XD" <OOC> Kailin says, "Safety first!" <OOC> Setiawan says, "Just ask Latenat." <OOC> Aldean says, "Yep." <OOC> Aldean says, "I've also done a few unsafe things in Whirlplots, and I am about to do another in the plot's next session." <OOC> Aldean says, "The problem is that Aldean is something of an adrenaline junkie."
Kaj uses his enormous body, in combination with ALdean providing a line-of-sight blocking move, to slowly pry the painting open, either on its hinges or off a hook, as the case may be, and brings it towards him, checking if there be traps!
<OOC> Kaj says, "I have trap sense +1 and trapfinding , for what it's worth"
As Kaj prises it away from the wall, there's a crrrrrunch as the cam holding it in place tears out of the wood. The thing was meant to rotate on this, not be pulled back.
GAME: Setiawan rolls 1d20-1: (5)+-1: 4
<OOC> Setiawan says, "Ooh, you're lucky."
Underneath the painting is a small black metal door, with a small keyhole on the right-hand side.
Kaj pages: Sorry i wasn't clear, i was gently trying rotation and pulling, to see what happened :) but NP :)
<OOC> Kaj says, "do i need to roll anything? :)"
Haggerty pages: Sorry for the delay.. again. The same wall area Aldean found and hinted at.
<OOC> Haggerty says, "Playing a rogue type safe is like wearing swimmies in the bathtub."
Kaj pages: is it sleight of hand to pick locks? or DD?
<OOC> Aldean says, "Yes. XD" <OOC> Setiawan says, "Disable Device." <OOC> Aldean says, "Aldean is a bard AND an adrenaline junkie. IF I play him safe, I ain't playing him right." <OOC> Kaj says, "Wish me luck"
GAME: Kaj rolls disable device+1: (19)+10+1: 30
<OOC> Setiawan says, "If you're carrying Thieves Tools, DC30, otherwise, DC20." <OOC> Setiawan says, "YOU FUCKING WHAT." <OOC> Kaj says, "haahah" <OOC> Kaj says, "i borrowed Kai's dice" <OOC> Setiawan says, "This is an outrage." <OOC> Aldean says, "I SEE THAT. Kai, we are SO taking you on the next Whirlplot." <OOC> Kaj says, "MW TTs :)"
Kaj fiddles with the lock mystically, and the lock clicks as the tumblers fall into place. It's a simple enough lock, but without the right tools... At any rate, the door glides open noiselessly, revealing a couple of burlap bags, some documents and a large book.
<OOC> Setiawan says, "Oh right." <OOC> Kaj says, "I have a hard stop in 12 mins /;" <OOC> Setiawan says, "Ah, me too." <OOC> Setiawan says, "We can continue next week, if you are all willing. And able." <OOC> Aldean says, "IT's fine. I should be the second and will be the first :)" <OOC> Kaj nodnods. :) <OOC> Kaj says, "Thank you very much Seti" <OOC> Setiawan shrugs. "You spent a lot more time at the offices than I thought you would :) <OOC> Kaj says, "Sorry! Hehe :)" <OOC> Kaj says, "Too much True Detective or something ;)" <OOC> Setiawan doesn't mind at all. There might be clues here. <OOC> Setiawan says, "Do you want to continue for the last 8 minutes?" <OOC> Kaj says, "sur :)" <OOC> Haggerty says, "Sorry to all for slowposing here." <OOC> Setiawan says, "It's no problem."
Kaj digs into his Handy Haversack, which is rather overkill because it means between it and his shoulders he has the carrying capacity of a small barge, but so it goes (too many times when we didn't have Tenser's Floating Disc... ;) and produces a beautiful, leather wrapped case with tools of the trade, ehem. It is surprising how dextrous the half-giant is, his steady-if- salami-sized fingers getting the job done very well, thank you very much.
- snick*
Kailin continues to flit through his notes making comments here and there on what might relate, all the while watching the people in the room and in the back room beyond. He smirks to himself at Kaj and figured to be tearing the safe out of the wall soon. He grins and continues to go back about his notes with his blue eyes going back and forth over the pages.
<OOC> Kaj says, "I gotta jet my amigos!" <OOC> Setiawan says, "Ciao ciao, see you soon." <OOC> Kaj says, "Thanks for the rp you all, and thanks Seti@work ;-) for hosting!" <OOC> Kailin waves and probably has to wrap soon as well. <OOC> Kaj says, "Ok, that's done. Later!" <OOC> Setiawan says, "I'll stay for a couple of poses, if anyone wants to investigate the safe." <OOC> Aldean says, "Let's hold that for when everyone is here." <OOC> Haggerty nods to Ald. <OOC> Setiawan says, "Okay." <OOC> Setiawan says, "In that case, thank you folks." <OOC> Kailin is okay with that. <OOC> Kailin says, "When is next time?" <OOC> Setiawan says, "Next time I promise you'll get somewhere." <OOC> Haggerty says, "Thank _you_. Thanks for the RP." <OOC> Setiawan says, "Umm, Thursday from 12:15pm works for me." <OOC> Setiawan says, "i.e. Same time as today." <OOC> Kailin thought we got a good amount done this time, especially for what we had available. <OOC> Aldean says, "Same time? I may not be here, I may be in training." <OOC> Setiawan says, "If you're all going to turn up, though, I'll move the time forward 15 minutes." <OOC> Aldean says, "But that's okay. Aldean's creating a distraction for the fornt" <OOC> Setiawan says, "Is there a day that suits you better, Ald?" <OOC> Haggerty says, "I will do my best to be here, but I cannot guarantee that. Shifts are fickle." <OOC> Aldean says, "Not next week, I will be in class all week." <OOC> Setiawan will hold off until the following week, then. Gives me time to prep anyway. <OOC> Aldean says, "Effectively, I'm doing something of a bootcamp to learn a completely new operatinmg system." <OOC> Setiawan agoo. <OOC> Haggerty brainmelts. <OOC> Setiawan says, "I'll +event/add later." <OOC> Haggerty says, "I mean. I am sure you are in for a wonderful new learning experience! :)" <OOC> Aldean laughs. It's not /that/ bad. I'm a Cisco geek, but this is a Juniper bootcamp. <OOC> Aldean says, "But still ... it's different." <OOC> Setiawan will turn off the log!

Haggerty pages: I want to know how much IC time transpired. Aldean says, "It's been a while, so where did we leave off last time?"
<OOC> Aldean ooc's that <OOC> Kaj says, "All i remember is so far, Kaj has indeed fit in every room! ;)" <OOC> Aldean says, "LohwaitIremember" <OOC> Kaj says, "I think we had just dicovered the safe behind the painting and while aldean blocked the doorway i picked it open" <OOC> Aldean says, "The painting with the ship." <OOC> Kailin is back. <OOC> Aldean says, "Yes, you guys were going to look behind the painting, and instead of turning it, mighty Kaj just ripped it out of the wall." <OOC> Kaj says, "BTW it was Kailin who afked, not Kaj.

You paged Haggerty with 'Jan'ros was arrested yesterday or the day before; you met with Honourable Georg in the evening. The next morning you came down to the docks. It's been about 20 minutes since you arrived at the office.'
<OOC> Setiawan says, "| <OOC> Kaj says, "afk for 5 brb"" <OOC> Setiawan flips you the bird. <OOC> Kaj says, "I didn't rip it! I gingerly removed it from its hinges ! (actually, i think i almost ripped it" <OOC> Setiawan says, "You did. Yes."

<OOC> Kaj says, "that was after 12:30! *frees the bird* since he's vegan" <OOC> Setiawan says, "'Kaj fiddles with the lock mystically, and the lock clicks as the tumblers fall into place.

You paged Haggerty with 'No :) I ran another completely unrelated plot the other night. Sorry if I confused ya!'
Kaj blows on his fingers, then reholsters them, letting the more savvy Haggerty have access to the documents, denoting this with a nod. He glances towards Aldean, making sure the cover is still being provided, and somewhat anxious about what the runaway sprinting dwarfette with a problem with authority might be up to.
<OOC> Aldean shrugs at Haggerty. He can be vegan all he wants. More for me. <OOC> Kaj says, "I'm not vegan, kaj is ;)" <OOC> Aldean says, "Same response IC as OOC." <OOC> Kaj says, "Imagine if you had Feral Speech, you'd never eat meat either heh :)" <OOC> Haggerty likes vegans, just not the talking kind. <OOC> Kaj chuckles. <OOC> Setiawan says, "Are you from the planet Vega?" <OOC> Kaj says, "I'm a chocotarian. And i posed." <OOC> Setiawan nodnods. <OOC> Setiawan says, "What's the plan?"
The cover is indeed still being provided -- Aldean's got his back to the group and appears to be listening to the disussion outside from the doorway. If he needs to draw attention, he'll interject a question or remark intended to distract.
Kailin keeps to his spot, making sure he's ready to react to anything that might need to be done to be a distraction. He can't quite see what's being done but he knows it isn't something people should see. He has a number of ideas in mind, but for the most part just prepares to react and hopes it is enough.
<OOC> Kaj says, "We had noted that all references to shipments from the Vast were gone, iirc? presumably as evidence, but were hoping we'd find evidence of who she was trading with, so we could investigate" <OOC> Setiawan says, "Okay." <OOC> Setiawan says, "Haggerty?"
Haggerty goes to study them and tests for magical writings since he can cast the spell over and over. Now, he does not hoard the documents so everybody can have an ogling. He will not break seals of the document securing kind. The others are tasty.
You paged Haggerty with 'You don't detect any magick here.'
The pug looks at the prentice wizard with a questioning look and snorts with a whining, wondering undertone. Something is mouthwatering, but WHERE!?
From afar, Haggerty nod nods. No read magic triggering texts, either.
The document seems to be a ledger, documenting the general incomings and outgoings of Jan'ros import/export company. This is less detailed than the loose collection of papers now widely strewn around the room, but goes back further and is much more complete. There are only names, dates, and credit or debit references.
Kaj looks over Haggerty's head down at the docs. "Anyone who owes her a pretty penny? Motive...."
<OOC> Setiawan says, "Ooh, sorry, forgot something. That's the book, the ledger. The documents..."
One of the documents is something entitled a Registration of Interest, which seems to simply state that Jan'ros is the owner of this business. Another is a deed for the building in which you stand. A third document is in a very foreign-looking language.
<OOC> Kailin says, "afk brb" <OOC> Kaj says, "What might one rol to try to id that language? :)" <OOC> Setiawan says, "Linguistics." <OOC> Kaj says, "Could one, say, roll, linguistics?" <OOC> Kaj says, "oh yeay"
GAME: Kaj rolls linguistics: (5)+6: 11
<OOC> Kaj glances at Whirl.
You paged Kaj with 'All you can really glean from the document is that it's in Charnese.' Aldean pages: FYI -- Aldean has comprehend languages. Aldean pages: But I'll make them think to ask him. Long distance to Aldean: Setiawan nodnods!
<OOC> Setiawan doesn't promise that any of these clues aren't red herrings. <OOC> Setiawan says, "They come without warranty." <OOC> Aldean says, "Course. :)" <OOC> Kaj grins.
Haggerty is booky enough to dive right into the ledger and respectively or any other book on his hands. The puzzled Kuno jumps high to land in the wizardling's lap who strongly furrows his brows as a result while the canine sniffs at the writings and looks them over without much of a result. This is neither tasty nor is the tiny dog smart enough to read more than children's books those rare things nobles and the ridiculously rich by for their infant princes&princesses..
<OOC> Setiawan says, "Does anyone /else/ have a clue?" <OOC> Kaj says, "When Kailin de-afks, let's see what his bardiness can do about deciphiring CHarnese?"

Bardbarian. :) <OOC> Kaj says, "Oh nice." <OOC> Setiawan nods. Thought he was just a barbarian. <OOC> Haggerty says, "Ragebard.

Haggerty pages: Thanks. You paged Kailin with 'That document? It's in Charnese.'
<OOC> Setiawan says, "Okay, so apparently Linguistics DCs are ridiculous." <OOC> Kaj says, "never fear...posin"
As he sees that everyone, including most definitely himself, are struggling to separate their Charnese from their cheese, Kaj turns to the doorway. Closing the gap to Aldean in a few steps (while ducking to avoid lights and beams), he leans in to whisper something to the bard, then takes his place blocking the door, keeping his eyes and ears peeled for trouble.
Kailin is still in the outer rim in conversation, so he doesn't actually see any of the documents. He splits his attention from interjecting in the conversation as necessary to keep it going longer and trying to decide what type of jig or song this particular group would be most taken with. His force smiles wear thin, however and Kailin grows impatient to be out of the room.
"Aye?" Well, that's a hint if ever Aldean's heard one. He withdraws from the door smoothly enough, but only when he turns around does he spot the painting ripped off the wall. "Hope ye've got the magic to fix that," he mutters to the group in general as he comes up behind them. "What's all this?"
Bones? Jerky? What!? Kuno is now utterly confused so he makes his displeasure known with a dispassionate snort while flopping across the mage's lap. Hagg smiles knowingly yet with assurance and a friendliness of sharing when the redhead looks up from his read, "Could be Charnese. Yes, really, it's Charnese. Not good, usually, but it could be bunny stew just the same." Pug quirks a brow, not buying the empathic trickery this time around. He flops once more, drooling all over the arcanist's blue garments nevertheless. "We must know what their business with any Charn types is or was."
From the other room, Miss Inden's voice comes through: "Gentlemen? I hope you're not making too much mess. When Miss Teolwren returns, it will be her great displeasure to have to organise her files again."
<OOC> Kaj says, "Hey, NB: Kaj didn't rip the painting off the hinges. It was a near miss IIRC. :)" <OOC> Kaj says, "And i picked the locks fair n square with a great roll, no mojo :)"
"Charnese?" Aldean raises an eyebrow. "Where's Godwyn when ye need 'er," he mutters half to himself, already fishing in a pouch at his belt. At Miss Inden's shout, he calls back, "Reckon yer officials made more'f a mess'n I'd be knowin' how to make, lass. Damn near ransacked the place, they did." As he talks, he's pulling a pinch each of soot and salt from his belt pouch. "Oy, let me in mates."
<OOC> Setiawan says, "It's true."
You paged Aldean with 'I'm guessing this is Comprehend Languages.' Aldean pages: Yep Aldean pages: The cast is going to be next pose. You paged Aldean with 'If that's the case, the result is this: This is a receipt for the purchase of a slave, a half mulni'essa female. She was purchased fifteen years ago.'
Kailin continues in conversation in the front room and when he hears talk of a mess he perks up, taking his opportunity to head back. "Let me go make sure there isn't anything out of place." Hemakes his way to the back room and begins tidying up, making sure everything is put back the way it was before. That includes, most specifically the painting, after the wall safe has been cleaned out. Secret wall safes were secrets for a reason so it didn't need its contents as much as they would.
Aldean pages: Ooh. Miss Inden, I bet. Knowledge: local -- if I give her the receipt, or destroy it ... is she a free woman?
<OOC> Kaj says, "Im' a little confused by that pose. Aren't we still looking at everything?" <OOC> Setiawan says, "It doesn't stop him trying :)" <OOC> Aldean says, "It's decent cover at leas.t" <OOC> Kaj says, "Okey dokey :)" <OOC> Kailin says, "I'm basically taking everything out of the safe, closing it back up, putting the picture back in place."
Haggerty chimes, "We have nothing but the greatest respect for the fine trappings of civilization and will treat everything with due," he puts his leadstick pencil back behind his ear, "safety and sanctity in mind, Miss Inden. If you have knowledge of Charnese deals, please answer for Jan'ros's life is at stake. Thank you!" Must. Not. Write. Notes!!!
You paged Aldean with 'I'm not sure. Alexandros doesn't have slavery, so the fact that she's here...'
<OOC> Kailin says, "So we're not hanging out with the safe wide open. We're just looking at stuff among the other stuff." <OOC> Setiawan says, "A little Mending goes a long way :)" <OOC> Aldean says, "Not one I have actually." <OOC> Aldean says, "Haggerty might." <OOC> Haggerty says, "Need to sleep over that." <OOC> Setiawan smiles. <OOC> Kailin says, "Also, I have the deed to a business, so don't break anything cause I have profits to think of now." <OOC> Setiawan says, "It's the deed to the building :)" <OOC> Kaj says, "Roger all that :)"
Kaj pages: in the american sense of roger, that is ;)
"Excuse me," Miss Inden says to the next person in line, and pushes back her chair. You hear the clip-clop of her approaching shoes.
Assuming the others step out of his way, Aldean scatters the contents of his hand over the page, whistling a children's play tune. Interestingly, the sound takes on a double-tone effect, as if another ghostly voie was whistling in harmony with him, as he draws a sigil with one blocky finger over the page written in Charnese. The soot and salt scattered over the page melt into nothingness, the music fades with a last trill, and he studies the page carefully. One eyebrow raises, and he glances back at the door. "Think I be after askin' Miss Inden about this one," he mutters, the expressive features reading -- sympathy?
<OOC> Setiawan says, "Anyone wish to react? You have about a standard round."
Kailin continues to 'tidy' up by placing all the intersting things under things not so interesting to make for easy hiding and making the room generally look like it did when they got there. Papers were paers unless you knew what you were looking for. With that in mind he stashes away anything that might have looked out of place in his bags and says, "Anything could be relevant and we might not even know it." He smirks at Aldean and says, "Good, you're about to get your chance."
Kaj still blocking not only the view into the room but the whole doorway, Kaj turns to Aldean and raises a brow. Delay or let her in, the brow clearly asks!
The half-mul appears at the door, indignant. "Let me through, sir," she says, her voice full of restrained anger. "Who are you? Who sent you?"
<OOC> Kaj says, "The word 'Mul' always transports me to Dark Sun. I totally <3 Dark Sun." <OOC> Kailin shows Inden the deed and reminds her to be more respectful as a guest in his building or he'll have to ask her to leave. <OOC> Kaj chuckles.
Quickly, Aldean nods, but keeps the Charnese page in his hand and he turns towards the door. _Let her in,_ the gesture reads. "Ain't rightly know, lass, tis this lot," he tilts his head at Kaj, "As asked me fer a hand." His tone is gentle, meant to be soothing. "But I've a question fer ye, if ye will ..." He holds up the page in Charnese in his hand. "Know aught o' this?" Dark eyes fix on her, watching her /very/ closely.
Haggerty does not know Charnese and cannot record the information magically. He gets a roll of parchment out and writes down what seems to be headers by copying symbols/runs/syllable signs for later comparison, at least. With the set of arriving feet, he speeds that up a little as the tiny black fellow wags his tiny tail, hops-slides to the ground and sniffs the air, watchfully so.
<OOC> Aldean says, "Diplomacy to calm her down and Sense Motive to get a sense of her reaction to the page."
Kaj sidesteps to let Miss Inden in, "Of course, miss, of course," he says, swiveling to let her through but taking his position again after she's passed, not wanting all present to be surprised because he let his eye wonder back to the action.
<OOC> Setiawan says, "I'll have a wee ganders at the roll results."
GAME: Aldean rolls diplomacy: (19)+22: 41 GAME: Aldean rolls vp/sm: aliased to perform/sing+2: (5)+24+2: 31
<OOC> Aldean says, "This is why I am hanging back, guys." <OOC> Setiawan says, "Yeah I think that'll do." <OOC> Aldean says, "I want you guys to lead this -- I am here to help if you guys need it." <OOC> Kailin will take that help. <OOC> Kaj grins.
Inden's eyes widen, then stare at the corrected painting on the wall. She glares at all four of the assembled investigators. "Do I know anything about that?" She fixes a steely gaze on Aldean's. Although she seems to have calmed down, she's far from content with the situation. "Of course I do." She lowers her voice. "It's very simple: When I was younger, I was a slave in Charn. This document is a receipt, in Charnese, for my purchase. By Miss Teolwren. Here in Alexandros slavery is illegal, and so I am free by proxy. This document is all that remains from my homeland. But it is private. As are the other items in that safe." She holds out her arms. "Please return them."
<OOC> Haggerty chuckles. <OOC> Aldean nods. Thought so.<OOC> Kaj says, "Can we have a quick recap of the facts of this case, team?" <OOC> Setiawan says, "Certainly. You're investigating the arrest of Jan'ros Teolwren, who has been accused of either possession or collaborating with the demon-possessed. You've been told she's innocent, so it's your job to find the evidence to prove that. You've gone to her offices to find some evidence, but so far you've not come up with much except that the Watch have been pretty diligent in removing what they consider to be evidence." <OOC> Setiawan says, "Oh, and her assistant is a freed slave."
"Depends, lass. Would ye see yer mistress freed, lass? Reckon that be what this lot is tryin' to do. We ain't no lawgivers and ain't no paladins, lass. We ain't after yer business. But there be folk out there as think she ain't do what she were accused of, an' from what I be told, I think they might be right. If ye'd see 'er freed ... we could use yer help." Aldean's tone is casual, and he still holds the page, but leans forward, almost imperceptibly.
<OOC> Aldean says, "Remove at least two of those lasses in there XD" <OOC> Aldean explains: IF Miss Teolwren freed her, chances are she's firmly on Teolwren's side and will do a lot to help her. <OOC> Kaj says, "or she could be one of those dogs that bite the hand that feeds....*eyes Setiawan* and be trying to get her hands on everything? Any WILLs and testaments in there, Hagg?"
Kailin takes a step back with his work done as much as possible to cover what has been shifted and taken from the room. Those steps continue to take him over to Kaj so that they both coincidentally block the doorway. "A slave in Charn? I did my time in the Rift," he nods at Inden, "so I understand. But this is all evidence of Teolwren's past as well as yours and will be needed to prove her case."
The mulblood relaxes a little, and looks about the room at the attempted tidiness. "She is a kind-hearted woman, sirs. I would see her freed, as she did for me. But what does this document prove? Nothing, except that she partook in the trade of human lives. I do not know how others would twist that to their own ends. But twist they would." She looks at the others again. "Where is the ledger?"
<OOC> Aldean says, "In case I need to mention, Aldean's still watching and reading her every move."
Looking to Kailin, Kaj speaks to him in Jotun, "Brother, we cannot find evidence to free her from her accusations as a demon-helper, only to deliver evidence she is transacting with slaves?! That document cannot leave our hands, for starters...agreed?"
<OOC> Setiawan considers declaring that Inden has Jotun as a language.
As Kuno ogles adorribly with his pugnificent eyes, Hagg smiles, "We need to see everything. We need to know who Mistress Teolwren is, madam. Only then can we rest assured to have done everything in our power to rescue her from the accusations we do our best to lift. It is like the ice on a lake. You never know where to walk safely unless one tests first. One side of a moose's antlers can be broken yet a sideways glance may not reveal this. Careful examination is key, Miss Inden. Everything you can help us with not only helps your liberatress but also yourself."
<OOC> Haggerty says, "I have not been told to see any wills." <OOC> Haggerty has Jotun.
Inden sighs. "I would prefer that my heritage not become a matter of public record, sirs. But if it would be helpful for Miss Teolwren, then so be it. Tell me, what kind of evidence are you looking for?"
After a moment, Aldean holds out the paper to Miss Inden, with a small smile. "Best ye keep that safe, the now. Ledger?" He turns to the table, looking at the other stuff on the table. "I'd be lookin' fer them as might want to accuse her falsely, mistress. Who's got sommat to gain from seein' her in jail?"
Kailin nods at Kaj and says, "Teolwren would not be the first to buy a slave and bring her out of slave lands. It is a good thing. Any slaver who wishes to keep slaves keeps their property well within the bounds of lands who permit such atrocities. It will only help her." He motions around and says, "I think we have everything there is to have here. You mentioned a ledger... that might show promise. Names and dates of purchase. Looking back to the time just before the arrest. Matching up the dates to the times we new of that shipment what's come in from demon lands."
<OOC> Kaj says, "guys, i have to afk for a really important call--this is a big break for me as it's something i've been pursuing, so please forgive the afk. Seti can power pose me if rquired. so sorry. afk." <OOC> Aldean says, "Good luck" <OOC> Setiawan says, "Good luck Kajji."
Haggerty nods eagerly, his red braids jumpy, "Indeed. Anything which speaks for her kind character, any proof of how when she did good, anything which might tell use where the allegations and accusations originate from will let us know how to help prove she is beyond reproach and how to get to where these nasty claims are based." He upnods, "Anyone to liberate others from unjust subjugation is to be commended."
Inden cocks her head to one side, looking at the four. "Who would gain from seeing her imprisoned? Her competitors, perhaps? Although I am not certain they would be so... clever." She uses the word with some distaste. "There are probably others. Where are the other things from the safe? The city watch, in their wisdom, thought not to look in there."
<OOC> Haggerty says, "Yesh. Good luck." <OOC> Aldean says, "Guys, Aldean doesn't know what else was in the safe, he was only handed the one thing. Someone else will have to give it to her."
"I ain't see what was in there, mates," Aldean tells the others. "Is it this lot?" He turns to look around him. "GIve her what she needs."
Kailin points out the registration of interst, the ledger, the deed and she's already seen the document from Charn. "That's everything. But with the ledger we can match up what is missing from what the watch confiscated from what is in the ledger. That can narrow our focus. So let's do that." He motions to the papers and the ledge so someone versed in that kind of thing can spend the time doing that paperwork.
Haggerty turns the parchment around and makes a table. He upnods to the others, "Let us get started."
"I can do that for you," Inden says. "I will do it today, and if you come back later, I'll have some information for you. Hopefully." She takes the deed, looking at it carefully. "That is fortunate," she says. "Miss Teolwren's other financial assets have been seized. If they had taken the deed, they would have seized these offices too." Finally Inden looks at the Registration of Interest document. "Oh."
Kailin looks at Teolwren and says, "Jan'ros is the owner of the business. Is this significant? New news?" He looks from her to the other memebers of the group, then back again. "What's Jan'ros' story? How does he play into everything?"
Aldean's small smile has turned into an easy grin as Inden agrees to help, and he jerks his chin towards the doorway. "C'mon, mates. Let's be leavin' the lady to her work. She'll find the bastard as accused her mistress faster'n any of us will, an' if it be sommat as /really/ be involved wit' Asumit, wager Father's Temple'd not mind knowin'."
<OOC> Setiawan says, "Sorry, Jan'ros and Teolwren are the same person. Jan'ros Teolwren, in fact."
Inden looks at Kailin. "I had been looking for this, that's all, before the arrest. Miss Teolwren is looking to join the city council, but she must declare her business interests in the city beforehand. This document is a certificate which does such for this business. It is something I am meant to submit before her hearing."
Haggerty rolls his head and looks to be disappointed. He just made a chart, right? Pug looks from humanoid to humanoid, waiting. The Northman sighs and gets to his feet, "Alright."
"That could be our clue," says Kaj, in a quiet voice, for once. "I doesn't have to be a business rival...could it be a future political rival aiming for the same council seat?"
<OOC> Kaj says, "thanks guys. That was a super good pair of calls actually. Appreacite your good wishes :) short and fab." <OOC> Setiawan says, "Awesome, gratz!"
Haggerty blinks his blues and rolls them. Mistress Teolwren has a host of political enemies. "That.. Look, the one you have fealty to by her being your savior tosses her blade on the tingstone and you tell us _now_." He picks up the canine, packing up that way, "Defamation is the basic in and out of such votes." They both seem exasperated though the pug does not know why.
<OOC> Haggerty says, "Congrats." <OOC> Kaj says, "Thanks thanks thanks :)"
Inden tilts her head again, a sour expression on her face. "It is not a part of her life to which I am privy. I am in her employ here, although I am almost an equal partner in this enterprise. She undertakes her own political machinations, which have nothing to do with me. I do not know much more than this."
"Well, we can find out easy enough who is running, and compare those names to what you /do/ know about her life?" offers Kaj, looking at the others to see if anyone's got better ideas.
Kaj pages: did everyone take a break and i msised it? :) You paged Kaj with 'It sure has gone quiet.'
<OOC> Kaj says, "Guys?" <OOC> Kaj says, "Did the Rpature happen or something? ;)" <OOC> Kailin says, "I'm a bit out of it this morning..." <OOC> Haggerty says, "I almost double posed last round so waiting." <OOC> Kaj says, "KK :)"
Kailin nods and says, "Definitely. Are there any money trails to or around him in the ledger? Otherwise, I say we go find him and question him about what he knows concerning this accusation. He'll likely have ties to the watch..." He looks to the others and gives a nod. "I think that's about it here."
<OOC> Kaj says, "anyone have a local knowledge we might be able to roll to find out if someone recalls the candidates, then we can rattle the names, see if it rings a bell? if that's ok with Seti@home that is." <OOC> Setiawan says, "A Knowledge/Local roll would be a good plan."
Haggerty nods to Inden, "Please tell us the little more. I did not mean to insult you, but the notion appeared to be so obvious to me." The redhead shrugs.
GAME: Aldean rolls knowledge/local: (6)+17: 23
<OOC> Aldean says, "Sorry guys, got pulled into a work thing"
GAME: Kaj rolls knowledge/local: Trained Use Only: 0
<OOC> Kaj says, "i don't have it; trained use only" <OOC> Haggerty says, "Not yet. I leveled after this plot." <OOC> Aldean says, "Back now"
You paged Aldean with 'Alexandros isn't a democracy, it's a meritocracy mixed with aristocracy. That's to say, anyone who appears sufficiently competent, community-spirited and altruistic can apply to be a council member --- that's what 'the hearing' is about. It's also fairly well-established that in general the noble families have a pretty strong monopoly on this.'
<OOC> Kaj says, "WB, and me too, focused for another 45 before i gotta call it"
"If ye be lookin' to sommat as means to keep 'er off the Council, I'd wager it be a noble behind it," Aldean points out from where he'd been largely silent leaning against a table. "Anyone can seek a spot on the Councils, but the nobles ain't like anyone but themselves actually gettin' one."
Kaj points at Aldean, and nods, to show that it's a good point and he completely agrees.
<OOC> Kaj says, "Seti, is she responding about the list of candidates or should we keep posing?"
Haggerty shrugs, "I am not in town long enough to know of any of this, but there seems to be a difference with leadership by accomplishment, which we have in Stormgarde, and hereditary leadership. It seems logical that those who are unable yet have been born with privileges seek to keep them lest they would turn beggars far too quickly. But again, I have only read of such means of organizing a nation." He shrugs again.
Inden nods. "That would be my assessment. Of course, disgruntled customers, unhappy suppliers, competitors too --- they may all have been responsible." She retrieves her receipt from Aldean, holding it uncomfortably. After a few moments she makes a decision, and places it on Jan'ros's desk. "I shall try to match up the missing documents to the ledger entries. I wonder how much information it will give, but it will be a start. As I said, come back later, and I shall try to talk you through it." She opens the office door again, looking out onto a mercantile scene descending once again into a baying mob. "Excuse me."
<OOC> Setiawan says, "Ah --- Aldean kinda hinted at this, but there is no 'list of candidates' per se." <OOC> Kaj says, "Oh, sorry." <OOC> Setiawan says, "It's no problem! It was done subtly!" <OOC> Setiawan says, "Inden is also giving you a subtle hint... to leave." <OOC> Aldean says, "And if you notice ... Aldean's takin that hint." <OOC> Kaj says, "yea, i got that and was posing, but i missed the no list part ;)"
Haggerty purses his lips, eyes the diagram he prepared, eyes Inden, eyes the writings, eyes.. He could help by staying. Right? "Please excuse me!" Hagg hurriedly runs out of the room and the house so the pug does not make a little or maybe not so little mess..
<OOC> Haggerty says, "If I was a skilly PC, I would look where Inden has been peeping the most. Maybe there is something she withheld still."
"Aye, lass, an' m'thanks fer yer help." With that, Aldean turns to walk out into the main room, with a smile for the mul woman and a black scowl as he walks into the baying mob. "Oy, pipe down. Be ye a herd o' brayin' jackasses or civilized men? Let the lady through."
Kaj walks out of the back room last. "Miss Inden," he says, very much loudly enough for everyone to hear, "Would you like my cousin," he points to Kailin, "and I to stay here and give free lessons in manners , as required?"
It seems both a bit of crowd-control and a genuine offer.
<OOC> Setiawan giggles at that. <OOC> Kaj :)
Kaj pages: are we pretty much done amigo?
<OOC> Kaj noms seti copiously (in intent if not fact!) Thanks for DMing!!!!! :) :) :) :) <OOC> Setiawan says, "I think we're probably done for today, I have to leave work soon." <OOC> Setiawan is DMing from work again. <OOC> Aldean says, "KK :)" <OOC> Aldean says, "Thank you for running!" <OOC> Kaj says, "Well, like isaid, thank you so very much." <OOC> Setiawan says, "You all need more clues!" <OOC> Kaj handshakes with all others, 'pleasure rping w you all' <OOC> Aldean says, "Ayep. :)" <OOC> Setiawan says, "What we could potentially do (and I'll check this with Whirlpool) would be to do this like 'legwork'. You come up with an idea about what to do, then let me know, mebbe give me some rolls, then I respond. We can do this with mini-scenes outside of a full plot. I will document everything." <OOC> Setiawan says, "If that sounds like a decent plan, just say so now and I'll check with Whirligig that it's okay." <OOC> Aldean says, "Good with mr" <OOC> Kaj says, "SOunds great." <OOC> Haggerty nods a few times, thanks all. <OOC> Setiawan gives out some noms. <OOC> Haggerty says, "Whatever works is good." <OOC> Setiawan says, "I'll reschedule for next week, in the meantime, send in your legwork requests. I'll assume you've agreed to split up in the meantime."
You paged Kaj with 'I think so.'
<OOC> Kaj says, "OK, y'all. Hasta :)" <OOC> Haggerty says, "Sounds good." <OOC> Setiawan says, "Hasta luego." <OOC> Haggerty says, "Everybody needs to run separate ways in Whirlplots lots! >.<" <OOC> Haggerty hudes. <OOC> Haggerty hides, too. <OOC> Kaj grins and runs! <OOC> Setiawan says, "Okay, just @mail me whenever you want to know something. Preferably with poses that I can add to the log." <OOC> Haggerty nods. <OOC> Setiawan stops the log and goes back to his hidey-hole.
