Yartar Marpenoth 7, 1490 DR

Arus, Sindar and Zhu leave Kriv, who has decided to remain at the Pearl Handled Pipe. They make their way out of the inn, into the crisp morning air. It is a decidedly beautiful day for this time of year. The sun was shining onto the market square, which was already abuzz with activity. Fishmongers, craftsmen, grocers were already busily hawking their products. Few customers meandered; they moved with purpose, to obtain the freshest fish, the best fruits and vegetables for their dinner tables.

The trio moved with purpose too. Following the instructions given to Zhu, they searched for the place where they hoped to find the other three. Bern, Davroar and Jaliera opted to stay elsewhere. Zhu was guessing that it would be at Beldabar's Rest. It did not take much time for them to find the place, even with the crowd. Although Arus never stayed there, he knew of it and also had an inkling what to look for. From the outside it did not seem to be an inn. There were no signs, either printed or hinted. But Zhu was quick to indicate that this was the place. She saw markings on the side of a wall nearby. It was a circle with a dot in the middle and sixteen small lines above it.

Inside Beldabar's Jaliera, who's been keeping tabs on things through Whisper's eyes every few moments, sees the three looking around in the courtyard outside. They had finished breakfast and she knows that the other three would not be admitted into Beldabar's because they did not stay the night.

[OOC: Assuming we have eaten?]

Jaliera

"Whisper says the others are outside, we should head out and meet them. Ready to go?"

She concentrates and gets Whisper to swoop down and land on the ground before them, so they know they have been seen.

Davroar

He pats his full stomach, nods, and will walk along side Jaliera and Bern. Once outside he spots Zhu, Arus and Sindar. Kriv is noticeably absent as he waves to the three, "Morning! Where's Kriv?"

He smiles when he sees the others, then takes a moment to look around. He is mostly curious to see if anyone is paying particular attention to them.

Zhu

She spotted Jaliera's familiar perched high up on an eave. Not that it was easy to see. "Whisper", as she'd heard Jaliera call the spirit, took pains not to stand out. But Owls are nocturnal creatures, and not so prevalent in large, populated settings, so seeing one during the day, in a town square was unusual enough to draw her attention.

So, knowing the spirit would tell Jaliera of their presence she simply waits and observes the area around them.

When the others arrive, she nods. "He chose to wait in case we passed each other along the way. We can go back and get him. How was your evening?"

Arus

"I think he has a foot spa booked." Offers Arus in light jest, following on from Zhu's answer about Kriv.

He's glad to see the rest of the party in fine fettle, though looking at their accommodation he doesn't regret staying at the Pearl-Handle.

Jaliera

Jaliera is grinning at Arus's quip before she turns to answer Zhu.

"Had a great evening. Entertaining at the Wink & Kiss and then very comfortably here. I am so stuffed from breakfast."

She does seem in a very upbeat mood.

"How was the Pearl Handle?"

He smiles naturally and nods in agreement with Sindar.

"It was a night to remember."

Arus leads the party back to the inn---they can walk and talk---but the aim is to gather up Kriv and share their findings and their plans.

Standing outside Beldabar's Rest, just off the bustling fish market. The large open area is filled with a maze-like agglomeration of stalls selling all sorts of goods. The group there needs to decide whether to go reunite with Kriv and the Pearl-Handled Pipe or to check out some of the leads they had acquired.

Arus

If no objections present, Arus will lead his companions back to the Pearl-Handle and collect Kriv. The Dragonborn's strength may be of great benefit to the party in the tight confines of a parlour or passageway, in a way that more destructive and longer range tools might not.

"So Bern, prithy tell me, this sneak-thief Davroar speaks of; what gave her away?"

"I doubt it." The triton says, shaking his head, "Probably one of the Hand. Yartar's thieves guild. All female."

He turns to Bern as he walks, a wolfish smile.

"Still... in a bar, late night clientele. Perhaps she was trying to cop a feel of something other than thy purse?"

Jaliera

She tries to ignore the subject of the good natured joshing going on between Arus and Bern, a little close to her own situation the night before. Nor does she want to get into a discussion about the Hand. That too is a subject which invokes unhappy memories.

Instead she takes a step or two closer to Davroar and looks around her with interest.

He laughs at Berns joke, and finding Jaliera close to his side he reaches out to hold her hand and quietly says to her with a playful smile, "Gotcha now. Better hold your hand than lose any more coin."

The larger group takes the short walk, jostling through the Fishyard market towards the Pearl-handled Pipe with no incidents. They have little trouble finding Kriv, or better said, he has little trouble spotting them as they walk down the steps towards the dining hall. He is sitting in his fine city clothes at a different table now, a cup of his favorite beverage inches from his talon.

OOC: Let's see if I can help you out. You have a LOT of leads to either share, partially share or track down individually. There are rumors of things which may or may not be pieces to a larger puzzle, a strange old house and a secret society called the Kraken Society. in The main leads, however are:

  • the Waterbaron Kriv and Zhu have both indicated a desire to see her.
  • Aldis, at the Lionshield Coster. Arus mentioned that he might be a connection to the...
  • Hands of Yartar who have been implicated by some. Arus knew one by name, Scimitar Sally.


Since you were split up, the sharing of information is incomplete.

You now need a plan. Remember that the current "quest" is to find out what happened to young Lord Artan Rossolio, who you found floating in the river inside a cocoon.

Arus

The history of the Kraken Society in Yartar takes some time to relay but relay it Arus does, while they walk.

So by the time they rendesvous with Kriv, the Dragonborn doesn't have to hear it a second time.

But once they've regrouped, Arus let's them know his plan for the morning.

"I need one of you to back me up. I visit Aldis this morn on Lionshield business but I plan to quiz his security guard about the Hands of Yartar and the Kraken Society. Her name is Scimitar Sally and she's one of the Hands."

He could go alone but that will limit his options. And as superior a race as tritons are, they don't have eyes in the backs of their heads.

Since most of what she found out regarded the Kraken Society she lets Arus explain it to the others. She does mention that she's already heard tales of their caravan journey and the attack on Triboar spreading, so they could talk about those things if they want to without it being seen as odd.

She nods to Kriv once they return and says, "We will be paying a visit to the Waterbaron. No telling how long we may have to wait to see her, so we should make up a place and a time to meet."

Kriv

The Dragonborn's expression and tone were studiously neutral as he began, "I applaud Zhu for an excellent guess, or all of you for a swift search, but I strongly recommend that if any of us suddenly decide on a whim"

Cold, gold eyes passed over each of the humans in turn,

"...to head out on your own for a while, that you do the rest of us the courtesy of arranging a rendezvous afterward, so that we don't need to rely on guesses, searches, or indeed leaving someone back at the last known point of common contact before we get to work. Now, given I'm on my own and who we're going after, my bona fide:"

Kriv held a claw just above the ground and discreetly summoned the glassstaff to it horizontally, gently placing it noiselessly down.

"Not something that can easily be copied. Now, I have not been idle: Zhu, I'll fill you in on what more I was able to glean of the Water Baron's recent issues on our way there. Nothing further on the Kraken society save the name is fearsome, and a few pithy words pertaining to the Hand of Yartar, who only employ women and have a reputation for being both difficult and unwise to find. Were we able to collectively bring everyone up to speed on the way over, or are there further details that would best be urgently shared among us before we all head off?"

Zhu

Still seeing some looks of uncertainty, she adds to the description. "From what I can determine, the Kraken Society is a secret society of thieves, assassins and mages in the Savage Frontier. Arus has been looking for them. The local Thieves Guild is called the 'Hand of Yartar' and they are mostly, maybe all, female. Also, there is an old abandoned House on the outskirts of town that is reputed to be Haunted but might be worth looking at."

She pauses a moment, then adds: "Oh, also, I heard that at the Cointoss, if you can toss a coin through the eye slit of a helm, you earn a free drink."

She shrugs. That last meant nothing to her, but maybe some are interested.

Finally, she addresses Kriv's comment. "Well, since we aren't staying at Belabar's, and those who are not guests seem to be discouraged from waiting there, I'd suggest we meet back here", she gestures to the Pearl Handles Pipe. "Say every even numbered hour if you are not busy everyone will come back to check in? Also leave a message with the desk if no one joins you and you feel the need to go off on your own?"

"I don't have anything to offer at this point. If no one else does, I think Arus and I should get going. Don't want to be out too late", he finished with a grin.

Jaliera

"Just a few additions. I have a contact in town now who is looking into things for us so there might be more later. I can confirm that the Hand are all female. My contact suggested that the Waterbaron may be more knowledgeable on the giant or noble issues but that I might not be the best person to make that approach. There are rumours about nobles disappearing but at this stage still just rumours. We have confirmed that the Doppleganger has been around recently as he was seen in the Wink and Kiss where he spent time with one of the girls. I have asked they watch for him but I'm not sure if they will tell us. Also were were advised not to make enemies of the Hand as they could be a good source of information. If we stay in town longer, we are likely to stay at Beldebar's again. Food and privacy are good. The underground area there apparently links a number of warehouses."

She pauses having ticked off the items on her fingers to make sure she didn't forget anything.

"Davroar and I were intending to ask around town about the giants to see if we could find out anything. However, we could check out this house first. And good idea on ways to keep contact Zhu."

He has fond memories of the Cointoss.

"Maybe one for later." He says to Zhu, then nods to Bern.

It's still early---restaurants are only just clearing the decks ready for lunch---but time is pressing and they hadn't planned on a lengthy stay in Yartar.

"Come then, Bern."

Time to go. To the rest of the party, Arus says: "As with Zhu's idea, we'll be here when the next even hour strikes. See you then."

And then he's underway to the Lionshield Coster with Bern.

"On the even hour, then."

Once he and Zhu were underway, he began quietly,

"It's a complicated, very human affair involving a murdered man, his wife, his lover and her being cleared of all charges and insisting it not be raised in her presence again. With me so far?"

She raises an eyebrow at the non-sequitur. "The wife being cleared or the lover?" She asks, it not being clear to her from the initial comment. "And is this related to anything about the Lordling, or a completely unrelated item?"

I didn't see a definitive of where Jaliera, Davroar and Sindar are off to. Feel free to tag along with others. I'll create new threads as soon as you split up.

As for the time, let's call this 10am, so you can gather back here for lunch.

Sindar

He listened and watched people depart. He had wanted to go to the house while others were doing things, but as it stands, he didn't want to go to the house alone, in case it proved to be interesting.

"I will avail myself of the local area, and return for lunch." He agrees with the group as a general plan. After lunch, they can check out the house.

Till then if he is on his own, he will see what information he can dig up, listening and plying people around the Pipe.

Kriv

Having said he'd fill Zhu in en route, he clarified, still keeping his volume soft,

"This is the nature of the Water Baron's recent troubles. She's the lover in this rather unfortunate triangle. The man's name was Kaidrod Palyr, with the accusations of murder getting levelled at the Water Baron subsequent to an argument with Palyr's wife, but prior to the revelation of infidelity. It would be a bad idea to raise these issues directly in the Water Baron's presence, she does not wish to speak of it and would likely see those that invoked it, fared poorly. All of the details are not known, there are those pointing the finger at the Hand of Yartar but nothing substantiated. As for connections to that excuse for a scion, it could be part of a wider campaign against the nobility as Jaliera alluded to."

He will stick with Jaliera and asks, "So, I guess we ask around the caravan drivers about the giants?"

Jaliera

"We are going to wander around town to see what we can find out. You are welcome to come with us Sindar."

She smiles at him.

Zhu

"Hmmm", she nods at the added details. "Thank you for the warning. It could indeed be part of a larger plot to destabilize the power structure here. Determining who stands to gain is usually the best place to start looking for culprits."

"By the way, did you know this before, or did you learn this sitting in the Inn waiting for us? Maybe we would be better served just sitting around eating and drinking all day?" She chuckles.

Sindar

He hurries after Zhu and the dragon born.

Kriv

"As I said, I do not spend my time idly. I took the various leads we accrued last night and saw if I could expand upon them further with the morning crowd. Mixed results, but on the whole not unsuccessful. It's more that we're not going to get to the bottom of any of this walking through town, looking for, and talking to, our own little group alone."

The dragonborn paused and glanced back, seeing Sindar approach.

"Another for the Water Baron delegation, is it? All right, from the top..."

Kriv reiterated his words with Zhu to the latecomer, at a suitably discreet volume.

ooc: To be clear, since it's obvious to your characters, any report about "giants" that you've heard were likely spread by guards and drivers from YOUR caravan about your encounters with fire giants in Triboar and hill giants on the way to Yartar. Basically, your exploits are being talked about. Isn't fun to be the rumor?

Jaliera

She shrugs. Perhaps Sindar didn't hear her. Unless somehow she offended him in some way.

Turning to Davroar, she smiles, pleased to be spending some more time alone with him.

"So try the market first?"

[OOC: Player completely missed it. I was reacting to the "your character is not going to do anything productive" post, so tried to pick one of the two groups that Sindar might be useful.]

The group actually leaves together. All of their destinations lie in the same direction. They walk down the street towards the Fishyard. As they get to the edge of it, Arus points to the right and indicates that they are standing right outside Waterbaron Hall. Kriv, Zhu and Sindar had indicated they they were going to try and meet with the Waterbaron herself. and that he's headed further down that way to the Lionshield Coster where Arus and Bern hoped to meet up with a contact from the Hand of Yartar. Jaliera and Davroar were going to mill about and perhaps go from shop to shop to see what they could learn.

OOC: I'm going to create 3 separate threads and here's a map showing where everyone other that Jaliera and Davroar are headed. Before we do that, you can change your destination...

Sounds like everyone is set, pending Sindar choosing.
