Welcome to Norroburry Village, a community located in the eastern regions of Ryke. This quaint mining village has nestled in with the mountainous areas that have become their economic engine due to plentiful mineral deposits lying dormant within the stone. Seasonal workers are used to keep the mineral-extracting gears turning. And the local militia serves as the operation's protective casing. A perfect, well-oiled machine of a mining town. Until recently...<br>
<br>
Strange events began affecting Norroburry after officially expanding their mining operation with a newly opened shaft. Mining equipment getting damaged, displaced, or disappearing altogether. Shortly after, the townsfolk started reporting ghost sightings. Then, miners began refusing to work the new 'haunted' shaft. Instead, they insisted on continuing their work in the already-established mines as they've remained entirely unaffected. Word has not yet traveled to the Adventurer's Guild, but if the situation persists, it might soon. Has Norroburry fallen prey to sudden, collective superstition, or is there an underlying truth tying all these events together?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)"><span style="font-size: 18px">Tomo</span></span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/tomo_the_alchemist-jpg.1097676/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1034/1034806-0c83bd4a5c8c7a4654d3b4d9b8f9e1c3.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--right" style="" alt="Tomo_the_Alchemist.jpg" title="Tomo_the_Alchemist.jpg" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>Approaching a small village in the distance, a recently masterless dog named Tomo let the dirt path beneath his paws guide him. The fresh mountain air brushed past his golden fur, making his red vestments billow lightly in the breeze. His ears twitched against the white headband he wore diligently. A symbol of courage, or so his master had once told him. Tomo let his eyes wander the mountainous landscape, and for a moment, he considered closing them. If he did, he might have been able to convince himself this entire world was nothing but untouched nature. Wild and free. But, he did not feel free. He never imagined walking freely, without a leash or master, would feel so constricting. Every step forward, away from the meadow he had woken up in, made an invisible noose tighten around his neck.<br>
<br>
A feeling of doubt held his heart hostage as he entered the town. The dirt below his paws was now firmer and dressed with cobblestone in places where the presence of housing grew. Stranger in a foreign place, Tomo decided to go wherever there were more people. And so he eventually arrived at the town square - a large, paved central area partially dressed with the remnants of a market closing for the evening. Stalls were stripped of their remaining produce and ready to be dismantled until the next day. And between the chatter of working townsfolk, in the distance, the faint clanging of metal against stone filled the air - providing the rhythm that led their daily lives.<br>
<br>
Tomo's eyes darted back and forth between people as he held on tight to a sliver of hope that Emmett might be among them. He was not. Disheartened by his wishful thinking, Tomo absentmindedly walked headfirst into the shin of a stranger. Slightly dazed from the collision, he glanced up to find a heavyset, middle-aged man. He was dressed in chef's attire and showed a friendly smile hidden partially beneath an impressive mustache.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Ho-ho, careful, stranger.” The man warned jokingly, slapping the side of his leg. “That could've ended badly had I not braced myself!” <a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/chef_base-png.1097677/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1034/1034807-622d11f7598fd79b51df943ed1c17bf4.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--left" style="" alt="Chef_Base.png" title="Chef_Base.png" width="100" height="118" loading="lazy"></a>Tomo tilted his head in response, expressing skepticism after comparing their size difference. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Somehow, I doub' that. Bein' ten times me size and all.</span>”<br>
<br>
“Ho-ho, very sharp. I suppose I'll blame being a baker for that one!” He replied, still joking but unwittingly startling Tomo enough to force him to back up a few steps. Keeping his distance, Tomo attempted to convince himself he had misheard the man's response. He was used to all manner of strangers responding to him whenever he barked, but never like this. Never like they could understand him. But, if this man could...<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">I'm sorry, but I'm lookin' for me master. He's called Emmett Downing. Lanky lad, dark hair, somethin' nervous about him.</span>” Tomo asked, equal parts hopeful and curious about the man's reply. As surreal as this interaction was, it would make his search for Emmett easier if he could communicate clearly with people.<br>
<br>
“Hmm, Emmett, you say?” The man pondered the question for a short while, tapping his finger against his chin. “It doesn't ring a bell. You'd better ask one of the militia. They're keeping a close eye on new people lately. Good folks are getting their tools and such stolen, but there's not much of a lead so far...”</div>

<br>
There were many rumors surrounding Norroburry Village. <br>
<br>
Many ghost stories in particular. All centered around a new mine shaft that the locals had been trying to excavate. It started with gossip about small things like missing and damaged items that one could’ve easily written off as adolescent mischief. But, eventually, people started reporting ghost sightings and firsthand encounters. <br>
<br>
It got so bad that the miners  stopped expanding their mines.<br>
<br>
No one had come looking for Desirae and nobody was trying to hire an adventurer to come and investigate the rumors surrounding mines. The situation hadn’t even caught the attention of the Adventurer’s Guild yet. It was the stories, themselves, that  brought the self-proclaimed detective to Norroburry that afternoon. <br>
<br>
Despite the rumors surrounding the mines, the people seemed largely unaffected. The streets were filled with as much jovial chatter and activity as any healthy village and business went about as usual. Idly, Desirae would listen in to the conversations of passerby as she made her way towards the mines. And it was there on those streets that she’d hear about someone looking for a missing person. Though, to be honest…<br>
<br>
…the sight of a talking puppy and a man’s consequent lack of response to it was arguably far more fascinating.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Eh, I’ve probably seen stranger things.”</span><br>
<br>
After taking a moment to come to terms with just how different this world was than her own, she made her way over to Tomo and the baker.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Looking for your master, eh? I can help you out if you’d like. But, first thing’s first.”</span><br>
<br>
She walked past them and grabbed a chair from one of the many tables settled just outside of the bakery, brought it over to the small hound and took a seat.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“I’m gonna need more information than that. Dark-haired, lanky and nervous sounds like most people you’d run into on the street. Tell me a little bit about this Emmet fellow. What kind of person is he? Why do you think he’s here in Norroburry? And when was the last time you saw him?”</span><br>
<br>
Three simple questions that might have given her a bit of context on Tomo’s situation.</div>

“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Emmett Downing. And sorry hearin' it. I hope ye find the culprit soon,</span>” Tomo replied, hiding disappointment behind a kind tone of voice. He had hoped this baker could have been more helpful - considering the nature of their interaction. Tomo still could not entirely believe he had spoken with a human. But, all the same, it appeared this mining town had its own share of problems. It would be selfish to add his to those of already troubled townsfolk. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">I will find the militia then,</span>” Tomo added, “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">nice meetin' you. Oh, sorry, me name is Tomo.</span>”<br>
<br>
“Ho-ho, nice to you as well, Tomo! You may call me <b>Oscar Brimbaker</b>,” the man exchanged pleasantries heartily, “and do be careful around our town. New folks are always welcome, but best steer clear of the mines for the time being.”<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">I'll be keepin' it in mind.</span>” And so Tomo's first direct conversation with a human had seemingly ended. But before they could part ways, another voice chimed in. A woman offered her assistance, which reignited Tomo's dwindling spark of hope within.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">That I am!</span>” Tomo replied eagerly, and he turned toward the direction of the sound. His head tilted slightly upon seeing a woman making herself comfortable by borrowing one of the bakery's outdoor chairs. Seating herself near him. She would be the second person directly responding to his words. If Tomo did not know any better, he would have started to believe people had always understood him.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Sorry, but not Emmett, Emmett Downing,</span>” Tomo corrected, insisting on using his master's full name, “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">and he keeps to himself. Likes his books and shows, but he's been gettin' better at goin' outdoors.</span>”<br>
<br>
Before he continued answering the redhead lady seated before him, Tomo paused to think. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">I bet he's here, because it's the neares' town from where I woke up. And last I saw him was before that...</span>”<br>
<br>
The events that led up to him waking up in this foreign world flashed through his mind. And Tomo winced at the memory of those blinding headlights. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">...before I fell asleep, that is. Sorry, but who'r ye anyway?</span>”<br>

<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“How strange…”</span><br>
<br>
Truth be told, that wasn’t much for Desirae to work with. No motive for Emmett to come to town nor to get involved with the mine. Not much of a narrative to work with yet, either. And, given the fact that the baker didn’t recognize him, the pup probably wasn’t from around here.<br>

<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Desirae Foul: Aspiring Investigator.”</span><br>
<br>
 She extended a hand for him to “shake” if he so pleased. And as she gazed down upon the young pup from her seat, Desirae would activate<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)"> [Eye of the Sleuth]</span> to scan over the young pup’s body for any information that might’ve given her a lead on what happened to him to end up lost and alone in Norroburry village.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“It’s best that we take Mr. Brimbaker’s advice and ask the local authorities about your Emmett Downing before searching anywhere else for him. For all we know he might just be running around trying to find you as well. And, if he is, I'm sure he'd end up there as well,”</span> then Desirae turned to Oscar Brimbaker, <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Could you point us in the direction of one of these militia offices? I’m not from around these parts, either.”</span><br>
<br>
As soon as she got a heading, she’d start making her way over with Tomo at her side. Way she saw it, she could kill two birds with one stone and ask about the people who knew best about the mines and Emmett Downing all at once.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Tomo? May I ask how you ended up on the outskirts of Norroburry village?”</span> she asked, glancing over at him as they continued forward, <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“I gather that you and your master aren’t locals. But are you at least familiar with the area?”</span><br>
<br>
Even if Emmet Downing was waiting for Tomo with the local authorities, the circumstances surrounding the entire situation were still <b><i>incredibly</i></b> odd.<br>

“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Nice meetin' you, Desirae, me name is Tomo.</span>” He replied cordially but paused when Desirae extended her hand. Part of him expected a command word like 'paw' to follow shortly. In his previous life, he would not have hesitated to put it onto the woman's palm, even without a verbal command. It was an easy task to perform and always seemed to put a smile on people's faces. For a moment, his mind wandered off to think about Emmett. He, and most humans, were too easily pleased at times. But that was never a reason to deny them those simple pleasures.<br>
<br>
However, now that he could speak, he had become more equal to them than he had ever been before. And the idea that this was a proper handshake rather than a simple trick for amusement made him more eager to accept the gesture. He placed his paw onto Desirae's palm and waited. He listened to her ideas on how to proceed before retracting his paw. Her suggestions were sound. And after he confirmed with a nod, Tomo turned his attention towards Oscar as Desirae had done. His ears perked while awaiting the baker's directions.<br>
<br>
“Ho-ho, I thought you were a new face,” Oscar expressed with joy, “as for directions, not a problem! Let's see...” He appeared to search the market area for a moment, then suddenly continued.<br>
<br>
“There's one!” Oscar extended his hand, gesturing towards two people on the other side of the market, slightly obscured by some stalls. “You're in luck too, I think that's Irwin himself. He leads our militia and should have no problem helping you further.”<br>
<br>
“If that is all, enjoy your stay in Norroburry. And do be careful!”<br>
<br>
And so, with the beginnings of an unusual partnership formed, the duo set out in the direction of the person Oscar Brimbaker had pointed out. As they weaved between the townsfolk and strewn about materials, Tomo addressed Desirae's questions while explicitly avoiding eye contact. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">You may, but truthfully? I couldn't tell ye the half of it...</span>”<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Me an' me master, we're not from 'round here. We're from Dublin.</span>” Tomo hesitated for a moment, then added a remark to test Desirae's reaction. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Whe'r the people don't speak dog...</span>”<br>
<br>
Soon the duo caught sight of the man fitting Brimbaker's description. Irwin was a tall, dark-haired man clad in dyed leather armor. And the large sword on his back gleamed in the light of the late afternoon sun. It appeared he had just ended a conversation with one of the townsfolk on a sour note. While he did not directly approach Desirae and Tomo, he noticed they were not from around the Norroburry area. And did not shy away from keeping his eye on them as a result.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Desirae, using Eye of the Sleuth, sharpened her deductive senses and allowed her to learn the following information during its effective period:</b><br>

<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Dublin? As in Dublin, Ireland?”</span> Desirae brought a hand up to massage her forehead,<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)"> “Oh, dear…”</span><br>
<br>
She chose not to elaborate on that rather concerning reaction quite yet.<br>
<br>
Unless this world had some location of the same name, Desirae and Tomo might’ve had more in common than she realized. And finding his master might’ve been a challenge well beyond the means of a simple investigator. Despite the pang of doubt she began to feel, the aspiring investigator approached the Norroburry Militia Captain all the same.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Good Afternoon, Captain. My friend and I were looking for someone. A Mr. Emmett Downing. Dark-haired, lanky, nervous looking. A new face from out of town. Ring any bells?”</span> She decided not to use his real name until he gave that up on his own, <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Also, have you ever heard of a place called ‘Dublin’ before?”</span><br>
<br>
Truth be told, Desirae had an explanation for Tomo. Maybe not one that would clear up how he got here, but definitely one that would clue him in on where he now was, why he could suddenly communicate with those around him and, well, the daunting situation that he was now in.<br>
<br>
But, if the boy and his dog had both found themselves in this new world, then she might as well wait to see them both before breaking the news of their new, <b><i>highly</i></b> controvertible situation to them.</div>

“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Right ye are!</span>” Tomo confirmed, as did his wagging tail. Her knowledge of Ireland brought some peace of mind. With everything that had happened so shortly after waking up in a strange place, Tomo had begun doubting whether this was some form of afterlife. Whether he had passed away after colliding with that van. And whether he would never see Emmett again... He instinctively shook to force the thoughts out of his head.<br>
<br>
Another person beside him knew of Ireland, and for the time being that meant he was still among the living. Even if he had no idea how he had gotten here, or where exactly he was. But, for now, he'd put those questions on hold. Directing all his attention towards the militia captain Desirae had begun conversing with.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/norroburry_militia_leader_crop-png.1098824/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1035/1035954-dfec4da763839cc95e7aec85cab15a6a.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--left" style="" alt="Norroburry_Militia_Leader_Crop.png" title="Norroburry_Militia_Leader_Crop.png" width="100" height="128" loading="lazy"></a>“We see new faces every season,” the captain grumbled bluntly in response to Desirae, then let out a defeated sigh, “Listen, our men have enough on their minds as it is.”<br>
<br>
For a moment, it appeared he was considering something, then discarded the idea from his thoughts. “No, I just do not have the resources for tracking down a person from... 'Dublin', was it?”<br>
<br>
The name appeared to intrigue him for a moment, compelling him to reassess his discarded idea. But a light shake of his head gave away his next response before the words were even spoken. “I can't say I've ever heard of it. Regardless,..”<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Wha'r ye talkin' about ye don't know Dublin?</span>” Tomo fiercely interjected. Baring his fangs upon hearing the captain's words. The shock of his doubts returning boiled over into short-lived anger. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Even if ye haven' been there, sure ye know of it!</span>”<br>
<br>
“Regardless!” The captain repeated with growing irritation, “Even if I had known of it, I cannot assist until we've resolved our own problems.” It was clear from the captain's body language that he was eager to end the interaction, but taking another glance at the duo gave him pause. “Wait, alright,.. since the both of you are looking for a missing person, you wouldn't happen to have any experience investigating, would you?”<br>
<br>
“Truth be told, we're grasping in the dark regarding an ongoing investigation. If both of you are able to assist in solving this case, we would have more resources available to dedicate towards finding this Emmett Downing.”<br>

<br>
Desirae let out a light sigh as the captain, unsurprisingly, confirmed that he’d never heard of a place called Dublin before.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Yeah, I figured.”</span><br>
<br>
On the upside, it looked as though he was actively searching for someone to look into the issues surrounding the mine. Desire was half-expecting the local guard, themselves, to be involved with it but, if they were actively drawing attention to it and seeking help, then maybe they could be trusted. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Tomo, I think I know what’s going on. And where your master is. But, before we get into that…”</span> she turned back to the captain, <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“I do, actually. The rumors surrounding the mine, itself, are what drew me into town in the first place. If you’re looking for someone to investigate it, then it’s a good thing we bumped into each other. It’s Desirae. Desirae Foul.”</span><br>
<br>
She extended a hand for him to shake. She figured the captain was a busy man with more things on his plate the the mine business, so she’d focus on getting what she could from him before, well…<br>
<br>
…breaking the news to Tomo.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“I’ve heard plenty of rumors, but that’s all they’ve been. <i>Rumors</i>. I’d like to hear about the situation from the Militia Captain, himself. If possible, a list of persons-of-interest, or at least the names of few witnesses to this ghost, would also come in handy. Might give me some much needed context to work with before diving straight into that mine.”</span><br>
<br>
As she spoke, Tomo would see a wide grin spread across Desirae’s lips. Despite the situation in the town, the potential dangers up ahead and how little information she had to work with at that moment… the aspiring investigator looked like she was having alot of fun.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)"><span style="font-size: 18px">Tomo<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/tomo_the_alchemist-jpg.1100038/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1037/1037168-0c83bd4a5c8c7a4654d3b4d9b8f9e1c3.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--right" style="" alt="Tomo_the_Alchemist.jpg" title="Tomo_the_Alchemist.jpg" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a></span></span><br>
Desirae's mention of Emmett, and his whereabouts, momentarily melted away Tomo's annoyances with the Militia Captain. And he turned his attention towards the redhead detective, tilting his head slightly. With his ears perked in anticipation, he quickly realized Desirae had planned to finish their conversation with the captain before explaining herself. Frustrated by the decision, Tomo huffed and laid down on the pavement. His back defiantly turned towards the captain.<br>
<br>
If not for the direction of his ears, still turned towards the ongoing conversation, there would be no sign he was faking his disinterest out of pettiness - a textbook example of his breed's stubborn nature. "<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Priorities, Desirae.</span>" He grumbled softly.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, the captain appeared pleased with the confirmation that Desirae was both experienced and willing to assist. “Irwin Stonewolf.” The captain replied and firmly shook the woman's hand. “Let me cut to the chase... I prefer this case to be solved soon. So, tell me what you need to get started.”<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/norroburry_militia_leader_crop-png.1100039/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1037/1037169-dfec4da763839cc95e7aec85cab15a6a.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--left" style="" alt="Norroburry_Militia_Leader_Crop.png" title="Norroburry_Militia_Leader_Crop.png" width="100" height="128" loading="lazy"></a>After hearing Desirae out and taking note of her growing grin, Irwin replied once again. “You do understand the risk involved with this investigation, yes?” He seemed slightly concerned as he gestured toward Desirae's grin. “Moving on... we have reports from a few different people.”<br>
<br>
“One of the miners, a Dwarven man named <b>Simin</b>, claims to have seen the ghost enter the recently opened tunnel on two separate occasions. He has also reported missing and sabotaged mining equipment a few times since then, as have other mineworkers.”<br>
<br>
“Next is one of our locals, <b>Oscar Brimbaker</b>. He is a baker who has reported his trash is disappearing. According to him, this has only started happening recently. It might be related, though we do not know for sure.”<br>
<br>
“And finally, another one of our locals, <b>Elina Cardiff</b>. She claims to have seen the ghost around town during the early morning.”<br>
<br>
Irwin paused while he searched his memory for any details left unspoken. “I believe that is all. You should be able to find Simin and Oscar at their respective workplaces. And Elina lives next to the Norroburry's boarding house down the road.”<br>
<br>
Irwin suddenly snapped his finger. “That reminds me,” he continued, “if you two need a place to stay during your investigation, the boarding house will provide you with a room."<br>
<br>
"Although, I cannot recall their pet policies," Irwin added with a slight smirk.<br>

Three leads and a place to stay for doing exactly what she’d come into town to do. Desirae really couldn’t complain. With a smile, she extended a hand to shake and mark a beginning to their partnership here in Norroburry. <br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)"><br>
“Excellent. Then I think me and my partner here will get right to work. C’mon, Tomo. Let’s go check in with Simin, first.”</span><br>
<br>
No doubt the pup was getting ever-more aggravated by the second as Desirae turned her attention towards the mystery of <i>“The Ghost or Norroburry Mine”</i>, but she hadn’t forgotten his plight nor had she been ignoring him. The fact of the matter was that the circumstances regarding his arrival in this world were his business and his business alone. Truth be told, she still wasn’t entirely sure how the people of this world would respond to that kind of information. They had a bit of a walk to get to Simin at the mine.<br>
<br>
And, with it, plenty of time to talk about his situation.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“So Tomo… as I’d been saying before, I think I know where your master is. But, I don’t think that I’m going to be able to help you return to him.”</span> her smile slowly faded as she spoke. She had no idea how he’d respond to anything that she was about to tell him or how well he’d take it, <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“A lot of what’s happening to you happened to me, too. Waking up in a strange, unfamiliar place. Nobody recognizing places, name or events that I thought were common knowledge. Suddenly acquiring new abilities…”</span><br>
<br>
She let out a long sigh.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Tomo, I don’t think that anything’s happened to your master. He’s not lost or misplaced or anything. He’s perfectly fine. It’s <b><i>you</i></b>… you and me who got lost. But we didn’t end up in another state or country or continent…”</span> a short pause to allow him to process, <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“We inexplicably found ourselves in another world only superficially similar to our own.”</span><br>
<br>
Preposterous, right? Desirae could only imagine what he’d say in response to that. Truth be told, she didn’t expect him to believe a word of it. It took her long enough to accept it, herself. And yet, all the same, he’d notice just how serious her expression was as she spoke those words.</div>

But, to not keep his partner waiting, he settled for a sneer and turned tail to join up with Desirae.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">What'r ye sayin'?</span>” Tomo soon asked with growing concern, an attentive gaze locked onto Desirae. He hardly had an eye for the road ahead as she addressed the situation with Emmett. To anyone else, it would have sounded like the redhead detective had lost her wits all at once. Not worth half the undivided attention Tomo was giving her. But the mention of new abilities convinced him she was being serious. Even though he could never accept everything she was suggesting as the truth.<br>
<br>
Still, Tomo refrained from interfering further until after she finished. And once she did, he stayed silent for a while longer to process the information. Only speaking up once he felt he had successfully reassured himself. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">I trust ye, Desirae.</span>” He started, the wag of his tail confirming the truth in his words, “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Sure sounded like ye lost it, but those abilities? I know what ye talkin' 'bout.</span>”<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">But, just 'cause yer right, doesn't mean yer right,</span>” Tomo added, casting a determined gaze in her direction. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">I know me master is 'ere! I got 'ere, he did too! He has to be...</span>”<br>
<br>
"<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">So... I'll find him, and then the three of us are gettin' back home. But, we're not gettin' anywhere slackin'.</span> <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Let's keep movin', partner!</span>"<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/simin-jpg.1100559/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1037/1037689-a898706039ac3a5d6330dcc9a29a6d50.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--left" style="" alt="Simin.jpg" title="Simin.jpg" width="100" height="142" loading="lazy"></a>As the duo talked amongst themselves, the village scenery slowly transitioned with each step they took toward the outskirts of town. The cobblestone pavement beneath their feet became more sparse to make space for a dirt path leading into the mountains. And the rhythmic sounds of metal against stone carried through the air more clearly as the base of the mountain slowly came into view. Soon they could see the solid rock lined with multiple tunnel entrances. And while it was not immediately clear which tunnel had earned itself a reputation for being haunted, they all stood out as more than natural caves. Structural support lined the entrances, and wooden shacks paired with a smelting operation decorated the surrounding area.<br>
<br>
The fiery glow of the main furnace was starting to come out against the early evening shadows and illuminated the face of a Dwarven man. His carefully braided beard and strong eyebrows accentuated a stern expression. He appeared short in stature, but the horns on his helmet helped make him appear slightly taller.<br>
<br>
Before the duo could do or say anything, the dwarf had noticed them and dutifully intercepted the potential trespassers. “Oi, oi! The mine's off-limits to the townsfolk and travelers alike. Take your sightseeing elsewhere, why don't ya.”<br>

<br>
Tomo was… well, it was honestly hard to say just how well he was taking the news. He was certainly meeting it with a smile and far more resolve than most would have. And, though his optimism felt a bit baseless to the aspiring investigator, she felt it was best for him to hold onto hope. So, with a light sigh, she forced a reassuring smile onto her face and nodded in agreement.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“R-right!”</span> she slowly turned her attention away from him and towards the mine ahead, <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“And who knows. Maybe our troubles have something to do with the ‘ghost’ haunting the mine.”</span><br>
<br>
As they drew near to the mine, the cobblestone road faded into dirt and the clatter and chatter of busy streets was replaced with roar of flame and metalwork. A dwarf made himself known and Desirae merely stopped in place for a moment with a raised brow before resuming her forward stride as if the man had said nothing at all.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Not to worry. My associate and I are here to investigate the mine on behalf of Captain Irwin of the Norroburry Militia,”</span> she walked up to him and extended a hand to shake, <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“The name’s Desirae. Desirae Foul. I’m looking for a man called Simin; one of the miners here. We need to speak with him as soon as possible.”</span></div>

With the redhead detective at his side, he knew his odds of finding Emmett had significantly improved. And it showed in his body language as he walked alongside his new trustee. His tail wagged rapidly as they approached the mines together. It only stopped when they were interrupted by the gruff voice of a Dwarven man blocking their path forward.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Sightseein'?</span>” Tomo asked, confused and slightly offended, but held his tongue as Desirae took control of the situation. Explaining their permission to be there, and their reason for it, in one straightforward exchange. Leaving Tomo with nothing to add apart from a quick: “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Sure we lookin' like sightseers, do we?</span>”<br>
<br>
“Aye, suppose not then.” The dwarf answered, scratching the back of his head, beneath the helmet. “Sorry about that, but we've been having some troubles a fair size bigger than a hill giant with a growth spurt.” He admitted and took a moment to inspect the duo with squinted eyes. “But, if ya been talking to Irwin, ya already knew that.”<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/simin-jpg.1101324/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1038/1038454-a898706039ac3a5d6330dcc9a29a6d50.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--left" style="" alt="Simin.jpg" title="Simin.jpg" width="100" height="142" loading="lazy"></a>He shrugged and stepped forward. Reaching out to Desirae, the dwarf accepted the gesture with a firm handshake. “That'd be me, Simin.” He admitted with a smirk. “Irwin mentioned me, then? I take it ya want details on the haunted tunnel then, do ya?”<br>
<br>
Simin began recounting the events without any confirmation and seemed eager to do so. “See, it was a short while after we broke into the new tunnel, no more than ten days or so. We'd struck good paydirt early on, and a fair bit of it at that. Rock with more veins than a giant's--” He held back on making that comparison in front of a lady.<br>
<br>
“Anyway! I think it was the day before we would begin extracting the ore that our equipment began getting damaged. I reckoned it was some hire being a sabotaging rat and stayed awake through the night to catch the vermin.”<br>
<br>
“That's when I saw it first.” Simin's voice grew quiet as his eyes darted toward one of the tunnel entrances. “I'm telling ya, a ghost was messing about that tunnel. About the same shape as the smoke from our machines, just not as grimy. Could see the rock through its body, I tell ya.”<br>
<br>
“I reckoned I lost it, too many fumes or whatnot.” He chuckled nervously. “But then the other guys started talking about it. We stopped working the tunnel soon after.”<br>
<br>
“Damn shame. There's some good paydirt in there.” Simin paused momentarily, visibly upset by the prospect of the ore being just out of reach. “Say...” He wondered out loud, turning his squint back onto Desirae. “Both of ya ain't thinking of going in there when it's about nightfall, are ya? I forbid it. Even if it turns out there's no ghost at all, ya both get hurt in that tunnel and it's my neck on the block!”<br>

As soon as the man identified himself, Desirae would use<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)"> [Eye of the Sleuth]</span> on him to try and discreetly collect some additional information on the witness. No doubt a skill she'd be using on every witness she spoke with on this case.<br>
<br>
It seemed as though the captain’s name held quite a bit of power here in Norroburry. As soon as Desirae dropped it, Simin’s defenses dropped almost immediately. As soon as he began speaking, the aspiring detective reached into her back pocket and retrieved a notepad with an accompanying pen; jotting down his story as he spoke.<br>
<br>
His story, along with his suspicion on the true nature of this ‘ghost’, lined up well with what the captain had already told her. And then, almost as though he’d been reading her mind, the man asked if she had any plans to sneak into mine. Truthfully, she didn’t intend on visiting the mines around nightfall but now she almost felt as though she had to in order to bear witness herself. Even so, with a warm, deceitful smile she simply replied.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“No, no, of course not. I’d hate to see any more troubles added to your plate with all this business about. Though, I might peek around in there while the spirits are down and the sun’s still up if you’re alright with that.”</span><br>
<br>
Even if the town ‘ghost’ only came around at nightfall, that didn’t mean that there weren’t truths to be found within the mine in its absence. All matters to attend to later when she was done speaking to Simin.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Tell me, Simin. Is there anyone in town who benefits from obstructing the excavation of that mine? Or who has actively spoken against it? Anyone at all? Given the uh,”</span> Desirae chuckled to herself, glancing over at Tomo with a smirk, <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“The nature of this particular case, I think even the names of deceased who fit that bill would be worth looking into.”</span><br>
<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">“Appreciate the concern, lady, but how're ya gonna be sure that ghost ain't hiding in there right now?” Simin questioned, his eyes once <a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/simin-jpg.1101780/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1038/1038910-a898706039ac3a5d6330dcc9a29a6d50.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--left" style="" alt="Simin.jpg" title="Simin.jpg" width="100" height="142" loading="lazy"></a>again glancing towards the tunnel entrance. He had been looking for a reason to see that ore deposit again. It was noticeable in his expression. His facial muscles shifted as he considered his options. “Aye, blast it all to--” The dwarven man suddenly blurted out and marched back to the furnace. He swore under his breath as he retrieved the pickaxe set against the furnace's side.<br>
<br>
Simin swung his pickaxe and held it still in the air – pointed towards the tunnel he had been eyeing throughout the conversation. “Let's go, lady. Before I come to my senses.” He groaned in disbelief at his own actions, rested the pickaxe on his shoulder, and marched off toward the tunnel entrance.<br>
<br>
“So, ya think some towny's last wish was to protect this tunnel or the like?” Simin commented after leading the duo a few steps into the tunnel. It was dark and cold inside. The only light, and the only hint of warmth, was provided by the occasional lantern that had not burned out yet.<br>
<br>
“Hate to tell you, lady, but we know what we're doing. Ain't been an accident in some time.” Simin boasted, knocking one of the wooden support beams with his knuckles as he passed by it. Like all the other beams, a small but significant part of the wooden ribcage-like structure which prevented the solid stone above their heads from crashing down onto them.<br>
<br>
“And for the ones that have spoken against excavation? I reckon that'd be all of us ever since that ghost dragged itself out of here.” He added, before halting from a sudden realization and turning towards Desirae. “Reckon there's a few people who're extra vocal about it, though.”<br>
<br>
“Irwin wants it closed for Norroburry's sake, for one. And I reckon the prospector want it closed to save his face.” Simin chuckled at the thought. “It's bad for business when ya mine is haunted, don't ya think, lady?”<br>

His ears folded back slightly.<br>
<br>
The stone and mud below his paws felt cold, and so did the air within the tunnel the further they went into the dark depths. He much preferred the conditions outside of the tunnel - preferably near the heat of the furnace. But, it seemed Desirae had her reasons to be here. And he had his newfound desire to be a good partner. "<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Any way I can help ye, Desirae?</span>"<br>

After a moment of consideration and vocalized regret, Simin agreed to let the duo investigate the closed mine. Despite having been closed, she noticed fresh footprints left behind by trespassers and lanterns that had recently been lit. Neither were things that a passing ghost would leave behind, were they?<br>
<br>
Desirae made no mention of either observation. She shot a passing glance down at the preexisting tracks to see if their impressions closely resembled those left behind by Simin. The dwarf asked her if she thought that a vengeful spirit truly had come enact its revenge upon the miners that had wronged it, and the investigator merely laughed.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“I believe that whatever’s terrorizing the miners has a motive, Mr. Simin. Especially if it's been stealing equipment.”</span><br>
<br>
And, when asked who might benefit from closing the mine, he listed the captain, himself, and an unknown prospector. Desirae jotted it down, and she believed him, but he wasn’t answering the question that she was actually asking him here.<br>
<br>
She sighed, and decided to specify what she was asking him before moving on to a different subject.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“I’m sure. But, right now, I’m more concerned with events <i><b>preceding</b></i> this ‘ghost’s’ appearance. To your knowledge, is there anyone who had something to gain from shutting down this excavation prior to the hauntings? Or something to lose if they didn’t?”</span><br>
<br>
Tomo chimed in, wondering if there was some way that he could’ve put his skills to use. Desirae paused for a moment and shot another glance down at the tracks in the mud before an idea popped into her head. A certain skill of his could prove immensely useful here in the mine. The investigator’s devious smile widened.<br>
<br>
And she was suddenly glad that she’d chosen to visit the mine, itself, first.<br>
<br>

<br>
Obviously her scent and that of Simin would be the strongest there. Naturally those of the miners would be fairly fresh as well. Probably even the Captain and some of his men, given their own personal investigations. But no one else, save our supposed ghost, had any good reason to be trouncing about the mines, did they?<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“If you took a moment to familiarize yourself with the scents in the air, would you be able to identify them for me later? Like, say… that of a recent guest who’d been wandering through the area without permission?”</span></div>

Anything to gain or lose...” Simin repeated the words in a muttering tone. “A motive, aye?” He placed the head of his pickaxe against the cold ground so he could lean his arm onto the upright handle. The dwarf appeared to think everything over while his free hand moved steadily towards caressing his beard. And then suddenly stopped. His gaze focused back on Desirae. “Lady, I don't think ya understand the mining business.”<br>
<br>
“There's nothing here to gain or lose until <b>after </b>ya struck a vein in the rock.” He clarified before continuing. “Before that happens, it's just a tunnel with the prospector's promise slapped on.” He paused for a moment. “Then again, before they struck a vein there was no ghost either...”<br>
<br>
“Aye, suppose that ghost is an old miner after all! Damn thing got a nose for fresh ore, does he?” Simin chuckled, although it now seemed more like a nervous reflex from talking about the ghost within its haunting grounds.<br>

An' stronger since comin' here!</span>” Tomo replied with pride, taking Desirae's remark as direct praise. And his curved tail wagger eagerly because of it.<br>
<br>
Wanting to prove himself immediately, Tomo left the interrogation of Simin to his partner. Using [<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Detection Dog</span>] to aid the investigation in his own sniffing way. At first, the scent of Simin and Desirae mixed in with lantern oil and mud was all he could detect.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">I'll find ye somethin' good!</span>” Still, he insisted and began wandering around the width of the tunnel – staying within sight at all times. Soon, he managed to filter out the interfering scents of his direct surroundings and immediately found himself on high alert. His whole being froze in place, acting like a pointer dog as he stared into the darkness ahead. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Emmett!</span>” He called loudly. <br>
<br>
<br>
Then recklessly rushed ahead, deeper into the darkness of the tunnel.<br>
<br>
<br>
“Oi! You get back here!” Simin yelled after the runaway dog while almost tripping himself up with his pickaxe. After he managed to center himself, Simin lost sight of Tomo. And as the best alternative turned his furrowed brow towards Desirea. “Oi, just what are ya two up to?” He demanded to know before further raising his voice in frustration. “Call ya dog back, lady!”<br>

<br>
With pen and notepad held high, Desirae listened to Simin intently. It seemed as though he couldn’t think of anyone with an obvious motive for harassing the miners. But he did confirm that the disturbances didn’t start until after they’d discovered a valuable ore or mineral deep within the mine. <br>
<br>
The aspiring investigator’s eyes narrowed.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Exactly what kind of vein was it that you found in this mine?”</span><br>
<br>
As Desirae continued to examine the witness with her words, Tomo studied the area with his keen sense of smell. She paid him little mind; letting him go about his work in peace and undisturbed until he shouted a name that the aspiring investigator wasn’t expecting to hear again for quite some time.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">“Emmett!”</span>​</div><br>
Desirae glanced over at Tomo just before he took off deeper into the mines. For a moment, she had little reaction to his outburst beyond the furrowing of her brow. Then, after a brief delay, she recalled how he’d just been scouring the area for familiar scents and her confusion quickly gave way to concern and disbelief.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Wait, <b><i>WHAT!?</i></b>”</span><br>
<br>
The sound of Simin’s voice pulled her attention back to him. The man seemed to be just as confused by this development as she was. Wide-eyed, she shook her head and shrugged her shoulders.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“N-nothing! Nothing! I think he… he must have recognized a scent in here. I’ll bring him back. Let me just um…”</span><br>
<br>
Her gaze shifted away from him and towards the tunnels ahead. Desirae put her notepad away, grabbed one of the still-lit lanterns, then began to make her way deeper into the mines after Tomo. Her pace was much slower than his and her steps were made with far more caution. All the while, she kept a watchful eye on the ground below for signs of puppy tracks in case the caverns ended up branching deeper down.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Tomo! Tomo, don’t just run off like that!”</span> she called out to him, <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“We need to stay with Simin! It’s not safe down here!”</span></div>

While Desirae's calls drowned out his muttered swearing as they moved.<br>
<br>
As the two of them cautiously made their way deeper into the darkness, and the light of Desirae's lantern became their only source, the walls began to show white and light blue slivers. Thin veins ran through the stone. Visible whenever the lantern light touched it. The presence of color became more plentiful over time. An indication that the deposit Simin had mentioned was drawing near. And before too long, something appeared up ahead. A small red dot in the center of the darkness accompanied by mechanical movement and low growling.<br>

They moved in closer, and the lantern light sufficiently illuminated the scene that appeared to be a makeshift mining operation. Lost equipment lined the stone walls. Two support beams held a sturdy plank as a makeshift desk for samples of ore and paperwork. And beneath that desk sat a large burlap sack.<br>
<br>
About 50 feet further ahead, shining in the lantern light, was the source of the color that spread throughout the nearby stone: A massive ore deposit guarded by a small construct with a target painted on its chest. Barely half the size of a human, it puffed out exhaust gas as its mechanical fingers wrapped tight around a pickaxe. Ready to fend off the assailing dog that had found its hideout on a scent.<br>
<br>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/tomo_the_alchemist-jpg.1102793/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1039/1039923-0c83bd4a5c8c7a4654d3b4d9b8f9e1c3.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--right" style="" alt="Tomo_the_Alchemist.jpg" title="Tomo_the_Alchemist.jpg" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>The assailing dog, Tomo, stood alert. Roughly 20 feet between him and his target. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Who'r ye?!</span>” He barked loud, a low growling undertone to his words. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Why'r ye smellin' like me master?!</span>” He demanded to know as he took a step forward. The discovery of something other than Emmett smelling like him had both confused and upset him to the point of aggression. In response to the threat, the red dot serving as the construct's eye darted around before beginning to blink.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">I know ye don't have him 'ere! Ye smell faint!</span>” Another step forward, and the blinking sped up slightly - seemingly reacting to Tomo advancing closer. Yet, the construct stood its ground. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Whe'r ye hidin' him?! Answer!</span>”<br>

Tomo’s astute nose had uncovered more than a few secrets lurking deep within the mine.<br>
<br>
Tools littered about that may or may not have been reported missing. A workstation that appeared to have seen recent use. A vein of whatever ore likely started the chain of events that lead to the appearance of “The Ghost of Norroburry Mine”. And, most curiously, an automaton that carried his master’s scent.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“There you are.”</span><br>
<br>
Thankfully, his eagerness hadn’t gotten him hurt.<br>
<br>
Without a moment's hesitation, Desirae’s first course of action was to scan the place with <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">[Eye of the Sleuth]</span>, but with particular emphasis on the ore vein, the robot, and the workstation just nearby.<br>
<br>
It was clear that Tomo didn’t recognize the petite machine standing before him. Things like that didn’t exist in their old world but, then again, neither did stealth cloaks or the innate ability to<i><b> literally</b></i> scan for skills and abilities of those around you at a glance. And, as Tomo demanded an answer from the unusually quiet machine, a thought popped into Desirae’s mind.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“It may not possess the ability to speak like you and I, Tomo.”</span><br>
<br>
She walked up just behind Tomo, but no further. Then, she knelt down to get at eye-level with the machine. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Can you understand me, machine? We don’t want to hurt you, we just want information. If you can speak, it would be wise to do so. If not...”</span> she brought her right hand up with her palm open; as though she were raising her hand in a classroom, <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Raise your hand like this to confirm that you can understand me."</span><br>
<br>
Desirae gave the robot a few moments to respond- if it was going to respond- before she glanced back at Simin. Obviously the presence of this machine conflicted with his story. It damn sure wasn’t a ghost, nor was it acting particularly hostile. But, then again, it wasn’t like he’d given her any resistance when she asked to explore the mine, either. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Simin, are you at all familiar with this automaton?”</span> she asked; watching his reactions with a skeptical eye, <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“I know I haven’t gotten to ask you yet, but can you confirm that the tools we passed on the way down match the description of those that were stolen?”</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">Down here in the mines, Desirae and her companion were surrounded by  every-growing mystery. But it was looking like they were on the cusp of identifying a prime suspect in this case. And thankfully, it wasn't  some horrifying spirit come to scare the daylights out of her. </span><br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">Action 1) Used Eye of the Sleuth</span><br>​</div><span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">Eye of the Sleuth</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">- Appraisal E, Traps F, Perception F, Investigation F- Desirae utilizes her senses and mind to the fullest to gain information about a scene and everyone in it. It’s a bit tiresome to do, but no so much that she can’t push herself</span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)"><span style="font-size: 18px">Tomo</span></span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/tomo_the_alchemist-jpg.1103528/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1040/1040658-0c83bd4a5c8c7a4654d3b4d9b8f9e1c3.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--right" style="" alt="Tomo_the_Alchemist.jpg" title="Tomo_the_Alchemist.jpg" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>The air seemed filled with tension as the sounds of growling and whirring battled for dominance over the otherwise silent tunnel. Tomo's patience was running out – and fast – but before he took another paw forward, he was interrupted by Desirae. When her voice added to the mix of sounds, it made his ears perk up. And he swung his head back to look at his partner. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Sorry for runnin' ahead...</span>” He apologized before his ears fell back flat once more.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">But that machine is smellin' like Emmett!</span>” Tomo explained and the snarling tone returned. <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">“I couldn't risk losin' trail, ye understand?</span>”<br>
<br>
While Tomo remained partially distracted by Desirae, the little construct used the opportunity to further defend the ore deposit behind it. It swung its pickaxe down and carved a line into the stone before its feet. The movement of the blinking dot suggested it was admiring its handiwork. Then, the dot centered on Desirae as she addressed the construct. After a moment of silence, the whirring of mechanical parts resumed. Exhaust puffed out of the construct as its grasp on the pickaxe loosened. It raised up one of its hands and awaited Desirae's response to its action.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/simin-jpg.1103529/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1040/1040659-a898706039ac3a5d6330dcc9a29a6d50.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--left" style="" alt="Simin.jpg" title="Simin.jpg" width="100" height="142" loading="lazy"></a>“Ya trying to make friends, lady?” Simin asked, unimpressed. The disgruntled dwarf had turned his attention <a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/the_pugilist_by_mattdixon_on_deviantart-jpg.1103530/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1040/1040660-dbb4c7db779d7ca6196c085bfefbe77e.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--right" style="" alt="The_Pugilist_by_MattDixon_on_DeviantArt.jpg" title="The_Pugilist_by_MattDixon_on_DeviantArt.jpg" width="100" height="142" loading="lazy"></a>to the workbench rather than getting involved with the construct. So engrossed in shuffling through papers, he could not bother looking up as he answered Desirae.<br>
<br>
“Can't say I know it, lady.” He said shortly after taking a quick glance at the construct. “Aye, the gear is ours, though. That bag of bolts and smoke must've stolen it...”<br>
<br>
“So, if ya done playing with that thing, I suggest ya come take a look at this stuff.” He suggested, waving the sheet of paper in his hand to entice the detective.<br>
<br>
“For a closed tunnel, there's quite some paydirt being pushed...” Simin muttered out loud and put the paper down in favor of raising one of two ore samples. “Looks like mythril to me, lady, and it's rich. This damn piece is purer than--” Simin's comparison was cut short by loud mechanical whirring drawing his attention. Without crossing the line in the stone, the little construct raised its pickaxe and struck the ground multiple times. The now rapidly blinking red dot locked onto the ore sample in Simin's hand.<br>
<br>
“Oi, oi, calm down!” Simin hastily replied and put the ore down. “This what's getting ya bolts in a twist, aye?” He added after watching the construct calm back down. “Damn constructs...”<br>
<br>
“What's ya plan, lady?” Simin questioned as he turned to Desirae with a raised eyebrow and an equally raised pickaxe – tapping the handle impatiently against the palm of his hand. “I say we scrap the little bastard...”<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">An' then what?</span>” Tomo interjected, turning towards Simin. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">I'm not leavin' before I know where me master is!</span>” He had somewhat calmed down after seeing the construct respond in an intelligent manner to Desirae, but Simin's suggestion made his stubbornness momentarily resurface. Resulting in a loud huff, and refusal to continue interacting with the dwarf for the time being.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Think ye can convince it explain itself, Desirae?</span>” Tomo turned towards the redhead detective instead and asked hopefully, with a slight tilt of his head. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">It's listenin' to ye, right?</span>”<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
The situation was... less than ideal.<br>
<br>
Tomo wanted detailed information from an automaton who lacked the ability to speak. Simon wanted to start a fight with the thing. Her scan revealed that the automaton, itself, was packing low grade explosive ordinance that might’ve killed any one of them immediately. There was a silver lining here, though.<br>
<br>
Perhaps it simply didn’t want to kill them. Perhaps it didn’t want to risk drawing unnecessary attention to itself. Or, perhaps, it was just as worried about the cavern coming down onto their heads as Desirae was. But, for whatever reason, the automaton didn’t seem to want to start a fight in the mines. The aspiring detective took a deep breath to calm her nerves.<br>
<br>
She could work with that.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“This automaton’s just a tool, Simin. A minion constructed to serve whoever’s after the mythril in the mines,”</span> she explained, walking over to the dwarf and taking the papers from his hands, <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Getting mad at it would be the equivalent of blaming a burglar’s lockpick for the items missing from your home. And it certainly wouldn’t get at the root of the problem.”</span><br>
<br>
Desirae began reading over the papers, trusting Tomo and Simin to keep an eye on the construct for her in the meantime. And, for now, she decided not place emphasis on the seemingly obvious connection between “The Ghost of Norroburry Mine” and Emmet Downing with hopes of keeping emotions from rising any higher in this delicate situation. After she finished going over them, she turned to the machine.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Automaton. I know you want us out of your hair so that you can finish mining the mythril. Well, we need information. So, let’s make a deal that gets us all what we want. You answer a few ‘yes/no’ questions for us, and we leave you in peace to do your work. Does <b><i>that </i></b>work for everyone?”</span><br>
<br>
She glanced around the room. At Tomo, the hound who just wanted to find his master and, otherwise, probably didn’t care about the robot at all. At Simin, the miner who wanted the culprit brought to justice rather than just one of his tools. The automaton, himself, was a wildcard. There was no way of knowing just how complex his programming and orders were. But if his master wasn’t expecting company and his primary objective really was to just to collect the mythril ore, then he might’ve proven to be a valuable source of information on what was <b><i>actually</i></b> going on in this town.<br>
<br>
It was too bad that he hadn't displayed any capacity for speech.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Raise your right hand if you agree. Left if not.”</span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)"><span style="font-size: 18px">Tomo</span></span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/tomo_the_alchemist-jpg.1103927/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1041/1041057-0c83bd4a5c8c7a4654d3b4d9b8f9e1c3.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--right" style="" alt="Tomo_the_Alchemist.jpg" title="Tomo_the_Alchemist.jpg" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>The tension-filled air in the tunnel slowly faded. Desirae's clever thinking had managed to establish a form of communication with the small construct, and as a result, the risk of physical conflict had minimized significantly. The tunnel was safe from potential destabilization on the back of an explosion - for the time being. Still, it was a significant development considering the clues caught within the blast radius would have been lost forever.<br>
<br>
Using the bought time to investigate, Desirae stepped away from the ongoing standoff between Tomo and the small construct. And in doing so, caught them both off-guard. As she joined Simin at the workstation, the two adversaries appeared more interested in following the redhead detective's movements than glaring at one another.<br>
<br>
The small construct lowered its arm as the red dot tracked Desirae's movements with curious intent. It was more interested in knowing what she would do now, considering she had just taught it a method to communicate with her. Tomo, on the other hand, laid down on the cold ground. Resting near the line carved into the stone, he slowly inched his paw closer to the line until the construct noticed. Upon which Tomo would retract his paw and start again.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Not crossin' ye line 'ere, am I?</span>” Tomo asked impishly. He felt it was justified to be a mild nuisance to something actively annoying him in return. Apart from warning Tomo with the blinking of the red dot, the construct had little to no response to his pestering.<br>
<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/the_pugilist_by_mattdixon_on_deviantart-jpg.1103929/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1041/1041059-dbb4c7db779d7ca6196c085bfefbe77e.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--left" style="" alt="The_Pugilist_by_MattDixon_on_DeviantArt.jpg" title="The_Pugilist_by_MattDixon_on_DeviantArt.jpg" width="100" height="142" loading="lazy"></a><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/simin-jpg.1103930/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1041/1041060-a898706039ac3a5d6330dcc9a29a6d50.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--right" style="" alt="Simin.jpg" title="Simin.jpg" width="100" height="142" loading="lazy"></a>“Aye, just a tool, lady...” Simin reluctantly repeated as Desirae joined his side at the workstation. “Still, if somebody were killed with a sword, ya would try to use it to find the bastard if ya could, understand?” He explained himself as he let her take the paper from his hand.<br>
<br>
Reading through the scattered documents, Desirae gained more insight into the mining operation and the mythril deposit the small construct was defending. According to the writing, the purity of the ore was 'some of the most pristine he had ever graded'. The following papers contained further details on the reason for that grading, and it all appeared to be valid paperwork until she found something that stood out...<br>
<br>
A document regarding an under-the-table deal with an unspecified trader that would receive a large quantity of the high-purity ore in exchange for a single unit of 'rubedo core'. It also included what Desirae could only assume to be a delivery address, but not one easily tracked down. At the bottom of the page, scribbled lines read the mythril had to be delivered to 'that wandering factory'.<br>
<br>
“Oi, lady...” Simin said in a hushed tone and tapped his finger against the papers. “This ain't ya normal mineral order. No idea about this rubedo core, but I'm sure as hell some rat is pawning off Norroburry paydirt for personal profit. Best be careful, ya hear?”<br>
<br>
<br>
After learning all she could, Desirae turned towards the small construct. It appeared attentive as the redhead detective explained the deal she wished to make. More importantly, it was receptive to the idea of exchanging answers for peaceful working conditions. The mechanical whirring picked up again, and the construct placed its pickaxe onto the ground. A gesture of trust that compelled both Tomo and Simin to agree to the deal's terms as well.<br>
<br>
And with everyone brought back on the same page by the quick-witted Desirae, the small construct opened the interview with a raise of its right hand.<br>

<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Don’t worry, Simin. Irwin hired me as an investigator, not a soldier,” </span>she did her best to reassure him, <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“I don’t plan on starting any fights if I can help it. That's what his men are for when and if the time comes.”</span><br>
<br>
Granted, her introduction to the thief’s automaton was less than ideal but that was a conversation to be had later after they’d left the mine. She folded the papers and stuffed them into her back pocket; useful evidence to bring to the Militia Captain later. Then she turned back to the automaton.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Alright, let’s stick with a system that we know works. Right hand for yes, left hand for no.”</span><br>
<br>
There was no way to know just how much this minion knew. The machine’s inability to speak severely limited the kinds of questions that she could ask it, and she’d have to verify for herself just how truthful it was later, but she wasn’t foolish enough to pass up on this goldmine that had presented itself. She would keep the questions nice and simple.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Let’s start with three questions. First, are you the <b><i>only</i></b> automaton serving your creator here in Norroburry?”</span><br>
<br>
A pause to give him a moment to think and answer.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Second, are you working <b><i>with</i></b> ‘The Ghost of Norroburry Mine’? To clarify, I’m referring to the translucent entity that’s been scaring away the miners.”</span><br>
<br>
Another, longer pause this time. Not just to give it time to answer, but to question whether or not she even should’ve asked this last question. So far, she managed to keep the situation relatively civil. Still, she felt she was taking a gamble with this last one.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Your creator... would his name happen to be <i>'Emmett Downing'</i>?”</span></div>

He had no interest in hearing the construct out but had to admit it was a necessary evil. And if it remained verbal... “Aye, then take the floor, lady...” He muttered reluctantly before turning toward the construct. As Desirae began her unorthodox interrogation, Simin leaned back against the workstation. Appearing content in his role as the silent observer, but his crossed arms and scowl hinted at something less civil swirling around his thoughts.<br>
<br>
At the same time, the construct appeared to liven up from Desirae's attention. A faint glow was momentarily visible through the small grate on its chest. The eerily quiet tunnel soon filled with the telltale mechanical whirring as the construct raised both its right and left hand at the moments Desirae prompted them. It appeared to understand the assignment. Yet, without any discernable body language, its motivations remained shrouded in mystery.<br>
<br>
When the first question arose, the construct immediately ceased movement as it processed the request alongside a puff of exhaust. And the tunnel returned to pensive silence. For a moment, the construct almost appeared unsure. Then, it raised its right hand with as much visible conviction as a nearly featureless face could express. The first answer seemed to be a 'yes'.<br>
<br>
The second question took less consideration and resulted in the same response. A definitive show of its right hand locking in another 'yes'.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)"><span style="font-size: 18px">Tomo</span></span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/tomo_the_alchemist-jpg.1104687/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1041/1041817-0c83bd4a5c8c7a4654d3b4d9b8f9e1c3.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--right" style="" alt="Tomo_the_Alchemist.jpg" title="Tomo_the_Alchemist.jpg" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>Surprisingly, it appeared eager to continue. The experience of interacting with the detective seemed enjoyable rather than serious for the construct. It was only when the third question arose that the air in the tunnel grew heavy with tension. So far, Tomo had taken a similar approach as Simin. Lazing on the tunnel floor, he refrained from interfering as long as Desirae effortlessly remained in control of the conversation. Until she mentioned Emmett...<br>
<br>
Tomo's ears perked up immediately, and he hastily lifted his head off the cold floor. Then, his accusatory gaze snapped onto Desirae. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">What'r ye--?!</span>” His attention rapidly shifted before he could finish his sentence. Eyes now locked onto the raising of the construct's left hand. After considerating silently for a moment, it appeared the construct's final answer was-- “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">No,</span>” Tomo huffed, “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">an' what else could 'ave been?</span>” He questioned as he turned toward his partner again. The vexation in his eyes demanded answers. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">What're ye gettin' at, Desirae?</span>”<br>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/desirae-jpg.1105088/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1042/1042218-c14e62f41df72e9cd002b9b309f82619.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--left" style="" alt="Desirae.jpg" title="Desirae.jpg" width="100" height="141" loading="lazy"></a>@Vaudivolt  <br>
<br>
<i>Alright.</i><br>
<br>
Desirae could work with this. The automaton claimed that it was the only mechanical minion in Norroburry and that it was working alongside “The Ghost of Norroburry Mine”. There was a lot of information to glean from these two questions, alone.<br>
<br>
 Assuming that the machine was being honest, it meant that she wouldn’t have to waste any effort looking for other mechanical minions throughout town. She also now had a motive for the “ghost” and context for its behavior. And she could go ahead and deduce that the ghost was not another mechanical minion serving a common creator and simply an accomplice to the mythril theft.<br>
<br>
And, to be honest…<br>
<br>
…Desirae felt inclined to believe the little machine. Naturally she took everything with a grain of salt, but the machine hadn’t displayed any aggression or animosity. Its behavior was mostly defensive and somewhat predictable for a minion whose priority was mining and collecting mythril as opposed to secrecy and eliminating brown-nosers. If she wasn’t mistaken, it almost seemed happy to have some er… “amicable” company to interact with down here in the dark mine.<br>
<br>
Everything was going perfectly until Desirae asked… that last question.<br>
<br>
Tomo’s vexation was met with a sigh and a light frown. The machine's denial did little to alleviate the tension. As much as Desirae disliked the idea of upsetting her canine companion after he’d been so helpful, she didn’t regret asking it in the slightest. It was necessary; as inevitable as the hound’s rage when his master came under suspicion.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“The truth, Tomo. No matter how unpleasant it may or may not be.”</span><br>
<br>
A succinct answer, but anything else would’ve been dishonest.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“There’s still a lot we don’t know about the conspiracies unfolding in Norroburry. But, with regards to the collection of mythril in this mine, we at least know the roles played by the automaton and our 'ghost'. Regardless of what it may be, there’s <b><i>some</i></b> reason why that machine carries your master’ scent.”</span><br>
<br>
She paused for a moment to allow both Tomo and Simin a moment to process her words. She glanced over at the dwarf for a moment before turning back to Tomo.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“It's not an accusation. I haven’t made any assumptions about Emmet Downing, Tomo. It’s far too early for things like that. But… we were going to have to ask the question at some point.”</span><br>
<br>
You can't just dance around these things forever.</div>

Giving Desirae a moment of cold shoulder even though he knew she was right. There was no good reason for him to start acting vexed. But he already knew the truth. His truth! And it would take incredibly convincing arguments to change his mind. Still... “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Sorry, ye right, Desirae,</span>” Tomo admitted after a moment of defiant silence, and the demand in his eyes lost intensity.<br>
<br>
If anything, he was irritable because he was tired, not because his partner asked necessary questions. Waking up in that meadow had hardly been a restful sleep, and the whiplash of emotions that came with meeting this construct did his resolve no favors. Slightly frustrated, Tomo averted his gaze from those surrounding him and allowed it to wander their surroundings. He sighed. They were searching for a truth he might not want to know in a tunnel as dark as last evening's walk. It even had the glimmer of that mythril ore to stand in for the headlights that send him here.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">The truth can be unpleasant, ye right.</span>” Tomo agreed and forced himself to get back on his feet. The chill of the stone returned to his paws. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">An' I fear me master's scent on that machine will 'ave unpleasant reasons...</span>”<br>
<br>
He began pacing around the width of the tunnel. Minding the construct's line in the stone as he sniffed the ground. A self-soothing behavior. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Me master had a likin' for machines.</span>”<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Anythin' he could fiddle with, ye know? Computers. Appliances.</span>” He paused, then glanced at the small construct still carrying the faint hint of Emmett's scent. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Robots...</span>”<br>
<br>
Tomo turned towards Desirae, his ears folding back as he looked at her. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Sorry, it was lookin' bad for me master an' that's why I got defensive. But, thinkin' on it, I should've told ye sooner.</span>”<br>

<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“You’re fine, Tomo. To be honest, you’re actually taking this better than I expected.”</span><br>
<br>
Desirae wasn’t sure how to take the information that Emmett liked to tinker with machines. The fact that Tomo’s master liked to tinker with machines was an awfully suspicious coincidence. Did a person’s interests and hobbies affect abilities manifested when they arrived in this world? Desirae’s gifts certainly assisted her with her investigations. As interesting as that was, she pushed the thought aside.<br>
<br>
The automaton had already denied that its creator was Emmett, and she chose to believe it for now.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Regardless, getting to the bottom of this conspiracy’s gonna lead us to Emmett one way or another. So, automaton?”</span><br>
<br>
She turned back to the machine who, no doubt, wanted to continue the questioning so that it could continue the task that its master had given it.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)"><br>
“My apologies for the interruption. You’ve been very helpful and I don’t want to waste too much of your time.. so how’s about I ask you, say 6 more questions then get out of your way so that you can work in peace?”</span> she paused for a moment then nodded, <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“6 or 7. I think that that’s reasonable, don’t you?”</span><br>
<br>
As always, she stuck with yes/no questions that the automaton would have no trouble answering.</div>

Adding credibility to the idea that literally crossing the line might be the only method of sparking a physical reaction. And, as long as they refrained, it would continue to appear as happy as a nearly featureless face could express. The single red dot was the only frame of reference. It jittered shortly before realigning onto Desirae when she led the conversation back to it. And the previous faint glow reappeared through the small grate on its chest – lingering for a moment.<br>
<br>
While the apology and appreciation on Desirae's part appeared to cause a significant delay in the construct's response time, it eventually produced some puffs of exhaust followed by a raising of its right hand. An indication that it was still willing to participate in the ongoing investigation.<br>
<br>
However, somebody else seemed less keen. “Oi! Lady, ya still not done with that hunk of junk?!” Simin suddenly and loudly interrupted while shifting his weight against the workstation. The dwarven man had remained silent for a while, letting the detective do her job, but despite the progress, he was clearly growing impatient. “That sack of bolts keeps lighting up from the inside! What if ya fry its insides with all that processing? For all we know, it might blow up on us anyway!”<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)"><span style="font-size: 18px">Tomo</span></span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/tomo_the_alchemist-jpg.1106597/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1043/1043727-0c83bd4a5c8c7a4654d3b4d9b8f9e1c3.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--right" style="" alt="Tomo_the_Alchemist.jpg" title="Tomo_the_Alchemist.jpg" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">When'd ye become detective, Simin?</span>” Tomo retorted with a slight snarl, using the bolstered appreciation for his redhead partner as fuel to take a protective stance. He leaned forward on his paws with his ears bent back slightly. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Let her keep workin' an' 'ave some trust, will ye?</span>”<br>
<br>
As Tomo heard his own words, his ears rapidly perked up again. The sudden realization replaced his snarl. He could be working too! There had been something on the edge of his senses for a while now, and if he could investigate it while Desirae was busy... They could spend less time total in the cold, muddy tunnel that was – in his opinion – overstaying its welcome!<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">If ye want to leave sooner, can ye help findin' somethin'?</span>” Tomo suggested teaming up with the dwarf and tilted his head to the side while awaiting the response.<br>
<br>
“Aye, if ya think it helps...” Simin shrugged, replying without too much thought on the matter. There was some lingering animosity, but his urge to get back to the outside air and out of the construct's blast radius motivated him plenty. “What're ya looking for?”<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Bread!</span>” Tomo stated with conviction and walked towards the burlap sack beneath the workstation. He placed one of his front paws against the slumped-over sack to test it and then looked expectantly toward Simin. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Open it!</span>”<br>
<br>
“Oi, what?-- Alright, alright!” Simin groaned, more confused than anything, and held open the sack. The dwarf caught only a glimpse of the contents before Tomo wriggled his body halfway into the burlap sack. With the opening blocked by golden fur, Simin could only make blind guesses as to why Tomo was shifting around within the bag. Something positive, no doubt, as Tomo's tail was wagging from satiated curiosity. Then, his tail slowly began disappearing from the tip down. It kept its general shape but slowly began changing into a smoke-like form. Wisps of golden smoke trailing behind in the stale air as his tail continued to wag unimpeded.<br>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/desirae-jpg.1107085/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1044/1044215-c14e62f41df72e9cd002b9b309f82619.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--left" style="" alt="Desirae.jpg" title="Desirae.jpg" width="100" height="141" loading="lazy"></a>@Vaudivolt<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“No, not quite.”</span> she replied to Simin.<br>
<br>
And it seemed as though the automaton was eager to continue the interview as well. As Simin’s temper flared, Tomo took it upon himself to satiate- or at least distract- the impatient dwarf as the investigation continued. Tomo locked onto the scent of bread and Desirae immediately remembered Irwin informing her that Oscar Brimbaker’s trash had been disappearing. The aspiring investigator was already more than convinced that “The Ghost of Norroburry Mine” was no ghost at all. And she’d already learned that the automaton was the only automaton working for its creator in Norroburry.<br>
<br>
So, she figured that the entity had to eat something.<br>
<br>
There were a few details that she would’ve liked to collect from the bread, but all of them were things that Tomo could no doubt determine by scent. I mean, if Emmett Downing wasn’t the machine’s creator, then the ghost was the next natural assumption. But, instead of saying something to sour her companion’s mood once more, she’d let him do some investigating of his own and answer that question for her.<br>
<br>
She turned to the automaton; mindful of the fact that she only had 6-7 questions left before she had to fulfill her end of the bargain and leave the automaton in peace.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Alright. Question 4. Has ‘The Ghost of Norroburry Mine’ been transporting the mythril you harvest out of the mine for you?”</span><br>
<br>
So far, Desirae knew of 4 abettors to this conspiracy. The automaton, its creator, the ghost, and a trader at ‘The Wandering Factory’. Someone had to be transporting the goods, and knowing just who could’ve opened up a lot of opportunities for her in this investigation.<br>
<br>
She gave him a moment to answer before she continued.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Question 5. Can you confirm that ‘The Ghost of Norroburry Mine’ comes to visit you at some point every night and leaves near morning. Or, at least, that it follows a schedule like that on the nights when it does come around?”</span><br>
<br>
It would make sense of every testimony that Irwin had provided her with already. Simin seeing the entity enter into the mine on multiple occasions and suspicious activity in the area at night and Elina Cardiff seeing it around morning. It was mobile, and it had to be going somewhere.<br>
<br>
Simin and Tomo might’ve begun to wonder why Desirae didn’t abbreviate the phantom-like culprit’s name, but it was simple. She’d already defined the parameters of the entity in question under that full title. And so, she would say it in full, deliberately, to ensure that machine understood her inquiries.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Question 6. Is ‘The Ghost of Norroburry Mine’ just a disguise? And by that, I mean to ask if the entity…” </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">she paused for a moment to collect her words,</span><span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)"> “...is capable of taking on a different appearance. One that’s a little less… translucent.”</span><br>
<br>
Desirae smiled as the questions flew from her lips. The pieces were starting to come together to make a cohesive story; one that outlined her next steps very clearly in her mind. After giving the robot time to answer the third question of the round, she glanced back at her partner.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“While we’re at it? Tomo! Can you tell me if that bread is going stale? Or, let’s say, old enough to motivate a baker to toss it into the garbage?”</span> she called out to him, <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“And… are you catching any more familiar scents from that sack of bread?”</span><br>
<br>
A question that only he could answer. And Desirae was more than eager to hear his findings.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/the_pugilist_by_mattdixon_on_deviantart-jpg.1107682/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1044/1044812-dbb4c7db779d7ca6196c085bfefbe77e.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--left" style="" alt="The_Pugilist_by_MattDixon_on_DeviantArt.jpg" title="The_Pugilist_by_MattDixon_on_DeviantArt.jpg" width="100" height="142" loading="lazy"></a>Whenever Desirae faced a distraction that turned her gaze elsewhere, the small construct followed it. The blinking dot in the center of its head turned towards the new point of interest. In doing so, it observed Simin and Tomo beginning to search the workstation. However, as the Mythril ore sample remained untouched, the construct showed no desire to interfere with their actions. It's only direct response to the observations being mimicry of their body language. The construct whirred as it crossed its arms like Simin and then attempted to reach behind itself in search of a wagging tail like Tomo had.<br>
<br>
But, its search was short-lived. Desirae's voice prompted the inquisitive machine to refocus. It shuffled itself into a firmer stance and crossed its arms. It held that pose until Desirae asked her fourth question. At that question, its hands quickly uncrossed in order to raise the left one. Not only that, but the construct turned away from the detective and awkwardly managed to point toward a wall of crates stacked against the tunnel wall behind the line carved in the stone. It appeared there was a prepared shipment, but none of the ore had left the mine thus far.<br>
<br>
For Desirae's fifth question, it appeared to struggle. And the construct crossed its arms while processing the request. It almost appeared eager to present its newly learned gesture again and again. After a short while and a few puffs of exhaust, the question resulted in a right-handed response. It confirmed the timeframe of the ghost appearance, but left the exact schedule unclear.<br>
<br>
And then, the sixth question... With a raise of its right hand, the small construct had single-handedly - <i>pun intended</i> - dismissed the possibility of an actual haunting within the tunnel. It now appeared to be nothing more than a potential front used by the 'ghost' to secure private access to the vein of Mythril glittering further down the tunnel.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)"><span style="font-size: 18px">Tomo</span></span><br>

Who hastily responded to the call by squirming his upper body out of the burlap sack. His ears turned toward the redhead detective like radar dishes before his head followed. And when his eyes locked with hers, the sight revealed his puffed-up cheeks and a loaf of bread trapped firmly between his fangs.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Ifh somefhin'--</span>” Tomo stubbornly insisted on speaking through the loaf. No matter how strained or incomprehensible the resulting speech. And thus, despite expressing an almost primal unwillingness to part with the loaf, he eventually let it drop to the ground. Accepting that it did <i>somewhat </i>hinder his ability to communicate. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Sorry, force of habit...</span>”<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Right-- right ye are, Desirae, it's somethin' of that baker.</span>” He quickly explained before lowering his head to the loaf for further inspection with [<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Wet Nosed</span>]. And as he did, Tomo's tail steadily returned to its original, solid form. A reversion that had only started after he released the loaf from his fangs. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">An' more than a loaf. Somethin' I can't make out, but it's smellin' like magic in that recipe. We should ask that baker 'bout it.</span>”<br>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/desirae-jpg.1108276/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1045/1045406-c14e62f41df72e9cd002b9b309f82619.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--left" style="" alt="Desirae.jpg" title="Desirae.jpg" width="100" height="141" loading="lazy"></a>@Vaudivolt<br>
<br>
Desirae began to smile almost ear-to-ear.<br>
<br>
Not only had she just disproven the “haunting” of the mine, but she’d also identified how the mythril was being transported and when it was being transported. And, suddenly, one of her plans to uncover the rest of the conspiracy revolving around the mine became far more likely to succeed. Now, after an extremely informative round of questioning, she was expecting a certain answer from Tomo to help identify the true identity of “The Ghost of Norroburry Mine”.<br>
<br>
…<br>
<br>
…news that the bread had magical properties definitely wasn’t what she was expecting from him, though.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Magic? The baker’s thrown away bread is magical…” </span>Desirae almost laughed. She thought herself on the precipice of putting a huge part of this puzzle together before Tomo brought her that information, <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“I’ll come look at it in a second. I’d like to finish with our robotic friend here so that we can let him get back to his duties.”</span><br>
<br>
She’d look into Tomo’s findings in a moment. But, first, she wanted to finish up with the extremely useful automaton so that she could move forward and verify these findings.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“You know what? I think I’ve only really got one more question for you, Mr. Robot.”</span><br>
<br>
By their deal, she had four more before she would keep her promise and leave him to mine in peace. But, given all of the information that she’d already received, there wasn’t much else that she needed from him. Most of the other inquiries that lingered in her mind were things that, well, she’d already concocted other plans to figure out.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“I understand that its frightful appearance scared away all of the miners. But is ‘The Ghost of Norroburry Mine’ <b><i>actually </i></b>dangerous?”</span> she paused for a moment before elaborating, “<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">And, by that, I mean to ask if they would be willing and able to hurt someone if they didn’t flee at the sight of a supposed specter?”</span><br>
<br>
An ominous question, but one that Desirae wanted answered before moving forward.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)"><span style="font-size: 18px">Tomo</span></span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/tomo_the_alchemist-jpg.1108869/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1045/1045999-0c83bd4a5c8c7a4654d3b4d9b8f9e1c3.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--right" style="" alt="Tomo_the_Alchemist.jpg" title="Tomo_the_Alchemist.jpg" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>Unexpectedly, the discovery of magic-infused bread had spotlighted Norroburry's baker. And while Tomo considered still being too used to the concept of bakeries from his previous life, he felt it was unlikely that a bakery producing magical goods would gain no renown. He recalled the bakery near his and Emmett's apartment being very popular, and that was very mundane bread by comparison. He wondered as he leaned further into the loaf laid at his paws. Which he then pushed with his nose. It rolled over, and a thought crossed his mind at the sight.<br>
<br>
Maybe the people of the world consumed magic with every meal?<br>
<br>
The more he built his own case file, the more his eyes moved toward Desirae. His tail wagged at the thought of being a detective like her - or at least her assistant. He would then be able to solve the mystery surrounding his master's disappearance alongside her, instead of relying completely on her expertise. But, his momentary excitement was cut short by Desirae's response to his findings.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Ye do what ye need, partner,</span>” Tomo replied, and his gaze quickly returned to the loaf at his paws. Even though he understood her reasoning, he could not help feeling slightly disappointed with not being her first priority. A feeling similar to fetching a tennis ball and then not having it thrown again... And this time, he was not even holding the metaphorical ball between his fangs – anymore – so that was no excuse! For a moment, Tomo considered showing his findings to Simin but almost immediately discarded the thought. He was not that desperate for recognition.<br>
<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/the_pugilist_by_mattdixon_on_deviantart-jpg.1108870/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1046/1046000-dbb4c7db779d7ca6196c085bfefbe77e.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--left" style="" alt="The_Pugilist_by_MattDixon_on_DeviantArt.jpg" title="The_Pugilist_by_MattDixon_on_DeviantArt.jpg" width="100" height="142" loading="lazy"></a><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/simin-jpg.1108871/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1046/1046001-a898706039ac3a5d6330dcc9a29a6d50.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--right" style="" alt="Simin.jpg" title="Simin.jpg" width="100" height="142" loading="lazy"></a>Instead, he took a moment to stretch himself and lay back down on the tunnel ground. With his paws placed down at either side of the loaf and his nose less than an inch from the crust, Tomo passively took in the magical scent that was starting to remind him of home.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, the small construct had been marching alongside the makeshift border it had created when the interview began. Only halting its patrol, and returning to focus, when Desirae announced the approach of her final question to it. And when she posed the question, the construct's grate lit up again, accompanied by exhaust puffing up from the request processing. It took the small machine a while to consider all the elements within her words. Its arms raised and fell a few times before its indecisiveness resulted in a final left-handed response.<br>
<br>
It revealed that the mining ghost posed no actual threat. But, due to the wording of Desirae's question, it remained unclear whether it would be willing to hurt – even if it could not do so as a ghost.<br>
<br>
“Aye, that'll be it then, lady?” Simin suddenly piped up after patiently waiting for the conclusion of her interview. Stepping forward, Simin moved towards the small construct while rolling his shoulder to loosen it up. His hands itched to get to work, and they firmly grabbed the handle of his pickaxe. “Ya see that target painted on that bag of bolts?” He asked while taking a few practice swings with his pickaxe. “Ya think a good whack or two will deactivate those gears inside nicely?”<br>

Desirae nodded her head.<br>
<br>
Truth be told, the machine’s answer wasn’t going to change her course of action after leaving the mine. But, she could at least move forward knowing that she was… at least unlikely to lose her life in the process. And, with that, she nodded to the machine, choosing to ignore Simin for the moment.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Thank you for your cooperation, automaton. Feel free to resume your mining. We won’t bother you any more. And we won't touch your ore.”</span><br>
<br>
No lines crossed. No double-crossing. Desirae walked over to Simin and whispered in his ear.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“He’s of far more use to us alive and unbothered. I’ll explain it to you once we leave the mine. Just give me a second and trust me.”</span><br>
<br>
That was all that she’d give Simin for the moment. Afterwards, she’d walk over to Tomo and the sack of bread. Normally, she would've used this on a piece of bread, but the mention of magic couldn’t be ignored. She knelt down next to Tomo and used <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">[Eye of the Sleuth]</span> on the bread to see if there was anything she could discern about its… mystical elements.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Aright. Let’s take a look at this bread.”</span><br>
<br>
All the while, keeping a side-eye on the automaton to see if it had gone back to work and stopped paying attention to them.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">Actions<br>
1) Used Eye of the Sleuth on the enchanted bread.</span>​</div><br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">Eye of the Sleuth</span>- Appraisal E, Traps F, Perception F, Investigation F- Desirae utilizes her senses and mind to the fullest to gain information about a scene and everyone in it. It’s a bit tiresome to do, but no so much that she can’t push herself many, many times a day.- Grade E- 1 post cooldown.</div>

Confident that it had fulfilled its end of the deal, it took up its pickaxe and moved deeper into the tunnel. And in doing so, displaying its trust that the strange group would uphold its end of the deal in return. Before too long, the familiar clang of metal to stone resounded through the tunnel. And in the shimmer of the Mythril deposit further ahead, they could see the form of the small construct dutifully chipping away at the wall.<br>
<br>
It was a form Simin was still visible eager to break into loose parts. His hands kept busy by impatiently twisting around the pickaxe handle. He had already moved dangerously close to crossing the construct's line when Desirae gave him a reason to halt. Her words gave him pause, and after a moment of consideration, he let out a pensive groan.<br>
<br>
“Just what're ya playing at, lady?” He whispered back, expressing his discontent through a squinted gaze. But she had already moved on to Tomo. Leaving Simin to mull over her words while continuously eyeing the construct further ahead. “Just give me a second, aye...” He muttered under his breath. “Aye... if we get another second without it turning on us...”<br>
<br>

As Desirae turned and approached him, a stubborn, petty desire came to the front of his mind. But his body language ruined it before he could pretend to be disinterested in her. He had wanted to give Desirae a cold shoulder for making him wait, but his tail could not contain itself that long. Insistent on happily wagging as she approached and knelt down at his side.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Lookin' like a loaf to me, Desirae,</span>” Tomo replied, pushing the loaf with his paw. As if hitting it would force it to spill the secrets it was withholding from his nose. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">An' strong magic baked in it, but not much there for seein'.</span>”<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Smellin' what its magic does' not workin' either, but I'm bettin' that baker in town could tell us.</span>” He explained his inability to identify the magic baked into the loaf. Then tilted his head at Desirae. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Are we goin' after we'r done 'ere?</span>”<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
There was some potent magic in that bread. Lingering magic that even her analytical eye couldn’t discern. Oscar Brimbaker was certainly on the list of people that the aspiring investigator needed to talk to. But, Desirae would’ve been lying if she’d said that asking him about the magic bread was a top priority for her.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Yes, it's about time. I think our business is done here. Come, gentleman. Let’s leave the automaton to his work.”</span><br>
<br>
Her words were loud and clear; easily reaching… whatever sensors the automaton had been using to hear. And Desirae’s companions would notice that she had no interest in bringing the bag of bread with her. She casually waltzed away from the machine and back towards the mouth of the cave.<br>
<br>
At least until she drew near to the farthest mining tool from the mechanical minion.<br>
<br>
As soon as she did, she’d come to a stop and lay an index finger across her lips, signaling to them both not to make a sound or mention what she was about to do next. She’d make sure that the robot was busy with its work, first. Then, she’d use <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">[Moment of Silence] </span>to render her movements inaudible and snatch up the farthest tool without a sound. An absence of sound in her movements that might’ve unnerved her companions. She’d signal for them to follow, then break out into a silent mad dash towards the entrance of the cave.<br>
<br>
There, she’d finally be out of earshot for the automaton.<br>
<br>
Only then would she be free to fully speak her mind.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Simin. Tomo. Thank you for being so patient. We’ve learned quite a bit about the so-called ‘Ghost of Norroburry Mine’. And I know just what to do next to dig even deeper into this case. First, I’d like for you two to come with me down to militia headquarters. Between this tool, the illicit trade agreement and testimony from one of the miners, we have more than enough evidence to convince Irwin of this conspiracy and to devote some men to our cause. And after that?”</span><br>
<br>
A somewhat wicked smile spread across Desirae’s lips as she turned to Simin and Tomo.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Well, we know when the ‘ghost’ visits the mine and when it travels. We know that it’s moving the mythril for an unnamed client. And we know that the mythril is being delivered to a ‘moving factory’. I'm almost certain that that’s where they go when he leaves this mine. And I can only assume that following our ghost as it makes its delivery will lead me right to this factory. And trust, my dear friends. I’m <b><i>very</i></b> good at keeping out of sight when I want to.”</span><br>
<br>
Neither of them had, for lack of a better word, seen her aptitude for remaining  unseen. But they had gotten a taste of her ability to move unheard. And they would feel her confidence in every spoken word.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“You want to know why it's important to leave that robot unharmed, the shipment untouched, most of the tools and paperwork laying where we found them and the bread unsullied in its sack? It’s because I don’t want to do anything that might make our translucent friend break their routine. I quite like their routine, from what I hear of it. They get spooked, and they might not make their way back to the ‘moving factory’ the next time they come around to collect a shipment.”</span><br>
<br>
She turned away from them and glanced out at the city; a light breeze blowing through her bright red hair.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“And we can’t have that, now can we?”</span><br>
<br>
Unless either of them had any objections, Desirae would then make her way over to the militia headquarters with her two companions. She had a few pieces of evidence, testimony, and quite a bit of information to share with the captain. And she was eager to hear his thoughts about the lot of it.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Tomo</span> &amp; Simin</span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/simin_2-png.1110405/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1047/1047535-e9be8d2f0c6fc78e20f5ce47a6fe9878.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--right" style="" alt="Simin_2.png" title="Simin_2.png" width="100" height="151" loading="lazy"></a>As the group made their silent retreat from the tunnel, and stepped out into the chill of evening, it became clear they had spent quite some time gathering information below ground. The night was approaching fast, their surroundings nearly as dim as the tunnel they had emerged from. No more than a sliver of natural light was still casting over the horizon. But it served little purpose. Their surroundings were barely affected by it and instead illuminated by the fiery glow of the central smelter alongside the light of lanterns scattered around the entire mining operation.<br>
<br>
Still, even in the minimal light, Desirae's prize was being illuminated. It appeared to be a slightly worn pickaxe, but the tool's head glinted in the fiery glow like a polished trophy would. She had succeeded in taking physical evidence with her, and there was no sign of pursuit from the small construct. The faint clanging from within the dark path hinted that the machine was none the wiser.<br>
<br>
With the coast clear, Desirae broke the silence by showing her appreciation and rewarded her companions with a detailed explanation. After letting the detective speak, Simin was the first to respond with a short chuckle. “Ya don't know what the word break means, do ya lady?” He asked while he moved towards the central smelter, then gestured for them both to do the same.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">What'r ye talkin' 'bout?!</span>” Tomo responded with a perplexed counterquestion but still took the dwarf up on his gesture. And as he neared the smelter, Tomo could not resist taking a load off and lay down next to the furnace. The radiating heat warmed his coat and almost made him forget the cold stone of the tunnel.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">We'r not... takin' a break now!</span>” Tomo insisted through a wide yawn that curled up his tongue. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Ye heard Desirae, we need see Irwin 'bout this case!</span>”<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/tomo_the_alchemist-jpg.1110406/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1047/1047536-0c83bd4a5c8c7a4654d3b4d9b8f9e1c3.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--right" style="" alt="Tomo_the_Alchemist.jpg" title="Tomo_the_Alchemist.jpg" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>“Oi, I'm just saying she works longer hours than Irwin does,” Simin explained and placed his pickaxe near the smelter. Trading it for a portable lantern, which he promptly lit. “I'd love nothing more than to get that thieving rat and their construct junk out of Norroburry, but if I know that militia mentality, Irwin will be taking a load off at the boarding house while our detective's still on the clock.”<br>
<br>
“And if he ain't there, it'll be getting too late for looking further anyway,” Simin added before casting the lantern light forward and leading the way back into town. “Let's go, lady! I let ya talk me out of wrecking that pile of bolts, but if that construct junk is gone by sunrise, you're getting the blame!”<br>
<br>
As the trio began their way back towards Norroburry, and the path slowly regained a semblance of pavement, Tomo turned his tilted head towards Desirae. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Desirae, yer sure that robot won't leave or anythin', right?</span>”<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">I trust ye, but what if Simin's right? An' that robot's gone when we'r back lookin' for it?</span>” Tomo asked, his ears and tail lowering with every question. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">It knows somethin' 'bout me master, an' we don't know what...</span>”<br>

<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“I find investigation to be quite relaxing, Mr. Simin.”</span><br>
<br>
The aspiring investigator held a smile that said more about the satisfaction she carried in her heart than mere words ever could. And, while she heard them all, none of Simin and Topo’s words did much to reduce her smile. But, they were good questions to be asking.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“I haven’t the slightest clue if that robot will still be there when I return to the mine, Tomo.”</span><br>
<br>
Desirae’s tone didn’t seem to match the words coming from her mouth. Despite the ominous implications… she sounded perfectly confident as she spoke every one.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“But what I do know is that that machine was carrying explosive ordnance. In order to survive an encounter like that, we not only would’ve had to survive the ordnance itself but the mine’s response to the resultant shockwaves. Even if catching the ghost in the act wasn’t a priority, I wouldn’t have advised starting that fight.”</span><br>
<br>
As a miner, Simin could likely play that entire situation out in his mind without Desirae having to say more on it. He honestly would have probably done a better job explaining it to Tomo than she could as well.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“On top of that, that machine’s just a minion. We’d have risked our lives to kill something that can easily be mass-produced. But, there is one issue that I can’t ignore now that you’ve brought it up. Look at that sunset.”</span><br>
<br>
She glanced up towards the setting sun. Night would approach soon. And, if “The Ghost of Norroburry Mine” was to pay their automaton friend a visit that night, then he’d probably be making his way over to the mine in just a few short hours. If that machine had any intention of vacating the mine after handing off the latest shipment, then her window of opportunity would be closing rather soon.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Tell me, Simin. Do you think I have enough time to speak with the captain and make my way back to the mine before nightfall? I won’t lie. I’d much rather tip local authorities off to what’s really going on before making my way back up there. But, I’ll admit, if I do miss our culprit then that is a huge window of opportunity lost. So you tell me, Simin. I’ll trust you on this since you’ve trusted me so far.”</span><br>
<br>
She glanced back up towards the mine growing ever-smaller behind her with each passing step. And she had no problem turning back if need be.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Is there time to do things my way, or should hold off on speaking with the captain until I have more free time?”</span></div>

After all, Desirae was no more familiar with the small construct than he was. There was no guarantee it would remain there, and they both knew it. But, unlike him, Desirae had spoken the words out loud. Still, Tomo hearing his partner confirm his suspicions left him feeling uneasy.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Ye haven' thought of that--?</span>” Tomo asked with a hint of accusation before he fell silent to hear Desirae out further. Her reasoning was sound, and yet Tomo did not want to agree. Even if there were a severe risk, he would not think twice. Risking his life for his master was one of his duties as a loyal companion. But then, he noticed Simin silently nodding along while leading the group into town. His motions confirmed Desirae's scenario would be a likely outcome, and Tomo felt he had no choice but to double down - instead of backing down.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">An' so what? Ye think they'r mass-produced with me master's scent--?</span>” Tomo insisted on remaining combative for the sake of his master. Yet, as if nothing was wrong, he turned his attention towards the sunset when asked. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Sunset?</span>” He said while tilting his head in confusion. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">What'r ye pointin' out 'bout it?</span>”<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/simin-jpg.1111101/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1048/1048231-a898706039ac3a5d6330dcc9a29a6d50.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--left" style="" alt="Simin.jpg" title="Simin.jpg" width="100" height="142" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<span style="font-size: 18px">Simin</span><br>
“She's pointing out that ghost might show its rat-bastard face soon,” Simin commented with a grouch, breaking his silent streak. He had quietly nodded along to the conversation, but as they neared the lights of Norroburry and their sight steadily improved, he could divide his attention towards the questions he felt directed at him.<br>
<br>
“Before nightfall, lady?” He scratched his beard as he squinted at the sunset. “I don't think so, but that ghost won't appear the second that sun sets anyway. It usually takes an hour or two before we start noticing anything supernatural at the mine-- although, I suppose it isn't supernatural anymore, aye?”<br>
<br>
“Tell ya what, we swing by the boarding house to see if Irwin is hiding there. If he's not, ya take my lantern and head for the mines. And if he is, I bet he'll come with ya instead.” Simin explanation felt final, the dwarf clearly not keen on taking another hike to the mines today. Especially now that they had set foot in Norroburry already. "Ya will make it back in time either way."<br>

<br>
Truth be told, Desirae still had her suspicions of Emmett.<br>
<br>
Their “Ghost” was a con-artist working alongside the automaton in the mine. An automaton that carried the scent of Tomo’s master. A fairly obvious connection. Were it not for Tomo’s reaction to suspicions directed towards the man, she would’ve continued the line of questioning to help deduce the true identity of “The Ghost of Norroburry Mine”. But, in the interest of helping a friend without turning him into an enemy, she decided to leave that topic alone.<br>
<br>
If all went well, she’d be looking into the Ghost’s true identity soon, anyway.<br>
<br>
With Simin’s blessing and Tomo’s support, Desirae saw no further need to turn back. She set her sights on the Militia HQ with a hastened pace.<br>
<br>

And with every step they took, the light from Simin's lantern steadily became obsolete as the lantern posts along the paved streets grew more abundant. The dwarven man glanced up at one of the lanterns. “<span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Aye, Norroburry is getting ready for the night, it seems.</span>” He commented without directing his words at anyone in particular. And he appeared to be correct in his assessment.<br>
<br>
The streets were not nearly as busy as they had been upon their midday arrival. The lack of locals made it easier to navigate Norroburry's streets but gave the surrounding area a more sinister nature - as if the ghost could be lurking among the shadows of alleyways. But, before any potential danger revealed itself, the group arrived at their destination – indicated by Simin approaching the door of a long but narrow building and pulling it open. The warmth greeted them, and light spilled out of the doorway and onto the cold streets as the group entered the building.<br>
<br>
It appeared the bottom floor had gotten sectioned lengthwise. On the right side, almost flush with the front door, stood a wall of doors leading all the way to the end of the building – presumably sleeping quarters. On the left side, a staircase led to the upper floor, with a common area surrounding it. A few tables surrounded by wooden benches - illuminated by the light of a fireplace - stood central. And only one of them was occupied by two people. It was the militia captain, Irwin Stonewolf, in the company of an unknown woman. The pair appeared to be discussing something, but Simin approached before they could overhear anything.<br>
<br>
The dwarven man set his lantern firmly onto the table and smacked his hand against the captain's shoulder. “<span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Stonewolf!</span>” He addressed the man uncharacteristically jovial. “<span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">What're ya thinking, sending any ol' people down the mines, aye? Ya fool.</span>”<br>

<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(61, 142, 185)">AH!- The detective and her partner, please take a seat.</span>” He gestured with an open palm towards the empty section of the wooden bench before turning to the woman sitting across the table. “<span style="color: rgb(61, 142, 185)">They're the ones I told you about.</span>”<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">They're leading the investigation? Is that so?</span>” The woman asked with a curious glance towards Desirae and Tomo. The gentle tone of her voice appeared an ill match to the mild skepticism her body language portrayed. “<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Then please join us, I am <b>Elina Cardiff</b>, and I hope you managed to dispose of the specter. I'd sleep much better if you did.</span> <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">And a lot of other people would as well.</span>”<br>

<br>
Night was quickly approaching as the gang rendezvoused with Captain Stonewolf and a new face. A Ms. Elina Cardiff, whose role in the militia- or with the captain- was unknown. Desirae took a seat next to Stonewolf, nodded at Elina, glanced at her two companions, then decided to get the meeting underway.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“In a sense,”</span> The aspiring investigator replied, <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“I’ve confirmed that there’s no specter haunting the mine at all. It’s merely a disguise for a thief who’s after the mythril in the mine. And that thief has been working with an automaton minion hidden within the mine.”</span><br>
<br>
First, Desirae would pull out the note she stole from the desk deep in the mine and handed it to the captain to read. That would’ve spoken for itself. Then, she’d hold up the pickaxe for Stonewolf and his female companion to see. It might not have meant quite as much to the captain, but Simin could support her testimony on it.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“They’re also the ones responsible for the missing mining tools. We caught the automaton in the act using them down there in the mine. Now, I haven’t discerned the true identity of our thief yet, but I have a plan for that. Time is of the essence though, so I’ll get right to it.”</span><br>
<br>
Desirae had more questions for the Captain Stonewolf, but they could wait. She leaned in closer. These words were only meant for her companions and the captain.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Our specter visits the mine at night and transports the mined mythril to… well… I’m not entirely sure, but it inevitably ends up at the so-called ‘wandering factory’ described in that note. I did my best to minimize signs of my presence down in the mine so as to leave our thief feeling confident that his little secret hasn’t been uncovered. I have reason to believe that he might return to the mine tonight to collect the latest shipment, and I’d like to catch him in the act and follow him wherever he intends to deliver that deposit of mythril.”</span><br>
<br>
She paused for a moment to allow the captain to process all of that information and to either object or bolster her plan with words of his own.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Consider my unexpected visit to your headquarters as bit of personal insurance. So... Would you like to accompany me back to the mine tonight, captain? I’m confident in my ability to stay hidden, but I’d be lying if I said that I’d be of much use if things turned violent.”</span><br>
<br>
Either way, letting him know about her plans put Desirae’s heart at ease. It meant that, at the very least, there would be someone looking for her and her companions if they didn’t make it back to HQ in the morning.</div>

Desirae's claim that there had never been a ghost appeared to stun both Irwin and Elina into silence. Which only broke once the revelation compelled Elina to interject with a confused tone. “<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">I don't mean to criticize, but that cannot be true...</span>” She explained carefully, unsure if it was her place to doubt the detective's words. “<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">I've seen the specter myself, and I swear it was no costume.</span>”<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">Elina, let her explain first.</span>” The captain interfered with a rather stern look. He had not intended to appear so aggressive, but the situation left him on edge. As he leaned forward, his expression shifted to reflect his contemplation, a testament to his engagement with the detective's findings. And his frown only deepened when he was presented with a note to read.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">A trade agreement... rubedo core..?</span>” The captain muttered to himself as his eyes followed the words. He did not know what to make of it but placed the note on the table once he finished reading. His gaze then naturally shifted toward Simin, who nodded in response.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">Aye, no clue either, Stonewolf,</span>” Simin admitted with a shrug before continuing. “<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">But, it's as genuine as a fire giant's love for waging war. We've seen the prepared shipment in the mine.</span>”<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">Someone is willing to take Norroburry's lifeblood for what..? Personal gain?</span>” The tone of his voice suddenly became unmistakable. For Irwin, this case had just become personal to him.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">An' they'r stealin' food an' equipment from yer people for their operation!</span>” Tomo added after silently observing the flow of the conversation. His only reason to interfere now was to ensure they did not leave out any details.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">What kind of...</span>” Irwin angrily muttered before Desirae presented him with a piece of the equipment Tomo hinted at. A pickaxe she had managed to secure in the mine. An unexpected item of evidence that once again made the captain's gaze shift towards Simin. He had understood the trade agreement, but this was nothing more than a meaningless tool in Irwin's eyes. Yet, when Desirae explained the tool's significance, it seemed Irwin pieced the situation together without the dwarf's assistance.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">So, to simplify,</span>” Irwin spoke while his thoughts were still processing the significant details. “<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">We have a thief on our hands... disguised as a ghost to keep people away from the mine, and stealing food and equipment so... their... construct accomplice can extract Mythril ore to trade for a... rubedo core, was it?</span>”<br>

“<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">But it cannot be one of the townsfolk, can it?</span>” Elina suddenly interjected. “<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">Who would do such a thing to their own friends and fami--?</span>” Her disbelief was put on hold by loud coughing, and she rose to her feet. “<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">I'm very sorry, please excuse me.</span>” She apologized hastily before moving toward one of the doors.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Wher' ye goin'?</span>” Tomo asked, his head tilted as he wondered why the coughing had prompted her to get up. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Someone needs yer help?</span>” He continued asking questions as he followed the woman to the door and sat down at her side. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">We can help if ye need?</span>”<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">That's very kind of you-- Tomo?</span>” She replied, not entirely sure if she had remembered the name correctly. “<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">It's just one of our people who has come down with something, and I'm concerned about his coughing just now.</span>” She explained, attempting to smile while her concern was obviously winning.<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">I'm very sorry, but please excuse me.</span>” She repeated once more before entering the door and closing it behind her.<br>
<br>
<br>
For a moment, Tomo just sat there as he fought off his instinct to claw at the door. He tilted his head left and right, experiencing a mixture of curiosity and concern for whatever was happening on the other side. And while he had fought off his instincts, he could not resist pressing his nose against the space beneath the door and used his [<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Detection Dog E</span>] to try and somewhat quell his nagging curiosity.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, Irwin was the one to take up and finish Elina's line of questioning. “<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">Do we have any suspects?--</span>” He shook his head as he spoke the words. That was not their priority right now - at least, not according to Desirae. “<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">Forget that. You said time was of the essence. Explain your plan first.</span>”<br>
<br>
After hearing the details, Irwin sat back and pondered the plan in silence before coming to a conclusion. “<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">I cannot run the risk of this Mythril leaving Norroburry...</span>” He admitted reluctantly. “<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">If you have reason to believe the culprit will return to the mine tonight, I will accompany you to catch them in the act. However! There will be an immediate arrest.</span>”<br>
<br>
Irwin rose from his seat and nodded at Simin. “<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">Can you inform Elina we will be heading to the mines?</span>” He then turned his attention back towards Desirae and offered her a hand and an explanation for his decision. “<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">Norroburry appreciates the effort you and your partner went through to help out our village, but as the captain, I cannot justify the risks involved with letting the culprit take the stolen ore out of our village.</span>”<br>
<br>
“<span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">Having said that, shall we go, or are there other matters you wish to discuss?</span>”<br>
<br>

Despite the duo's best efforts and thorough investigation, the trail ran cold that night. Alongside Irwin Stonewolf, Desirae staked out the mine entrance, but no culprit other than the construct revealed itself. And when Tomo sought out Oscar Brimbaker with questions regarding the stolen bread, the man could only provide a vague description and speculations about who might have been the culprit.<br>
<br>
There was no apprehension in the end, no resolution, but Tomo remained in Norroburry. He was keen to solve the mystery surrounding the only place he knew to have a guaranteed connection to his missing master, even if he could not yet piece together how.<br>
<br>
Tomo decided to earn his keep by assisting the local bakery with his knack for the artisan craft, hoping another clue would eventually present itself. And, with some luck, bring him closer to the whereabouts of his master.<br>

Bummer things turned out as an abandoned thread pretty much. Least there's points to be gained. One downside of 1x1's is it only takes one calling it quits for it to fall apart. The mystery will have to be solved another time looks like. <br>
<br>
<b>Aftermath:</b><br>
N/a<br>
<br>
<b>Rewards:</b><br>
<br>
Tomo - 66pts (includes narration bonus)<br>
optional title acquired [Abandoned] - character was left by an ally. It is very sad. Character more likely to garner sympathy from others for their pitiful state. <br>
<br>
 <br>
<b>partial participation</b><br>
Desirae - talk with me if you want your grade</div>
