					<div class="bbWrapper">Hello, welcome to this thread! This Roleplay is part of the Isekai Hell RP community! If you are interested in anime and or the fantasy genre and are looking for an active open world community,  please feel free to check out the links above.<br>
---<br>
<b>For Participants:</b><br>
<br>
please link your character sheet in your opening post.<br>
<br>
We are aiming for 72 hour (3 day) round turnarounds  in this play, if everyone posts sooner we may advance sooner. If there will be a delay I will do my utmost to communicate such.<br>
<br>
Given how not all characters are tied together narratively, in your opening post you can  be outside the walls or already in the interior. Feel free to pick somewhere to head or already be  and I’ll flesh things out more from there.<br>
<br>
If you have not yet contacted me to discuss your character goals, or wish to further discuss please feel free so that I can better cater to your character needs for what unfolds here.<br>
<br>
For helpful information about the Kingdom feel free to check out the other link giving details Nova provided about The Kingdom!<br>

<br>
The Kingdom of Rotia was far from a place that most would travel to in the realm willingly. The reasons for this were apparent. The land was so close to the dark continent and experienced regular monster raids. The climate was known for being particularly unforgiving in the winter due to how North they were located.<br>
<br>
The Kingdom’s economy was powered by conflict and many turned to monsters slaying to make a living in this land. Under a Queen who ran an autocracy, while it wasn’t the safest or freest place to live in the realm, there was still room to profit and live well if you had the right skill sets, as well as resources of interest.<br>
<br>
The more people strayed away from civilization things became progressively more dangerous. Thankfully there were some portals spread out throughout the Kingdom’s land which could take people near entrances of many of these population  locations throughout Rotia.  One of these portals was located  near the border wall of Evergate Rampart.<br>
<br>
By the waystation portal  area  was a group of six guards who were there to keep watch. They were wearing metallic armor, and had pikes as well as short swords by their hands. The helmets covered their faces, and the  metallic armor was heavier.<br>
<br>
<br>

For one reason or another, travelers today would go near a place formally known as Evergate Rampart.<br>
It was well fortified place.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b>Evergate Entrance</b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/360_f_314935710_dfqewn03wt6w17ssrtqpome8f4hn2qtw-jpg.1084373/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1021/1021503-de5a7b4c7a338ec5d0a5aac826ca2343.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="360_F_314935710_dFQewN03wT6W17SsrTqpoME8F4Hn2qTW.jpg" title="360_F_314935710_dFQewN03wT6W17SsrTqpoME8F4Hn2qTW.jpg" width="150" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
The walls were tall and made of wood and stone. There were some watch towers  sprinkled far apart on the walls with archers in place scattered around the perimeter as well.<br>
<br>
Near the entrance of the border wall parallel from one another on either side of the entrance were two people  in their monster combat ready mechas, Rotia’s crest was very visible on the center of their chest pieces, distinguishing them from independent adventurer pilots. The ornate nature of the mecha  build suggested that they were royal guard, which was rather unusual to see in a place like Evergate.<br>

<br>
<span style="color: rgb(163, 123, 134)">“Don’t you think it’s a bit of a waste of our talent to be stationed out in the middle of nowhere like this just because of some event that’s going on? ” </span>the guard on the left side asked, with a decidedly male sounding and mix of boredom and annoyance in his voice.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(208, 161, 226)">“Raul, you and I both know why we were sent here.”</span> The  identical one turned to him and said, with a decidedly more feminine sounding voice.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(163, 123, 134)">“So what, just because someone starts some rumors we  need to raise every alert in the Kingdom?”</span> Raul replied, sounding unimpressed.<br>
<br>
A sigh would come from the unnamed one,.<span style="color: rgb(208, 161, 226)"> “You can never be too careful in Rotia. I know that’s something that’s been engraved in your skull since we were little.”</span><br>
<br>
<br>
Close to the guards were a set of black orbs which were appraising  people who wished to enter the gate as an extra precautionary step.<br>
<br>
----<br>
Past the entrance was a main cobblestone road which had wooden arrow signs written in common and Terran directing people toward places of interest such as the church, Main Street, recruitment office and other buildings of importance. These directions guide  signs were spread out as were the pathways which broke off from the main path.<br>
<br>

There was a certain [Beast] waiting to the side of this main path, who was looking out  and waiting for a certain [Beast]. He was currently tapping his foot, moving his tail about, every now and again glancing around. With him was a leather satchel, whatever was inside was hidden from view. He seemed to be relatively low key with not many people paying him mind other than the occasion glance, but his attire suggested that he was of an upperclass perhaps. Regardless he was staying quiet,<br>

On the interior the rampart itself was an imposing castle fort-like structure which towered over the land. In its proximity was a barracks, a training area, mess hall and other amenities specifically for soldiers which was segregated from the rest of the circular wall in the area, all located as far north as the walls would allow.<br>
 The dungeon where criminals were being held under lock and key was directly under the fort in a guarded underground expanse.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
There were many modest sized structures on the exterior ring closest to the outer walls  and inward toward the center with thatched medieval style roofs;a residential area.<br>
<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/miio-50-jpg.1084341/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1021/1021471-ec3d0c4229c50789552871bbcde7bf60.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="miio-50.jpg" title="miio-50.jpg" width="178" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Closer to the center of the walled off circle was a modest sized stone church building dedicated to Valcorism.<br>
Not far away from the church was a main street which had some businesses such as a black smithery, engineer workshop, general goods store, tavern with rooms for rent , and a magic shop. Every now and again people came and went along the paths, about their business. As normal as the activity looked it had become apparent that there was a certain tenseness in the air which was unusual to say the least. This main street eventually led into a town square which had a clearing of sorts, with a wooden platform with stairs to  the side and there were a few people idling about.<br>
----<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">Kane Blackburne</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/crop-jpg.1084383/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1021/1021513-dd24894ecc7f82a7319ffe3d22cc8746.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="crop.jpg" title="crop.jpg" width="100" height="204" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
<br>
Kane was actually one of these people. He leaned against the wood, with his executioner ax in hand. Every now and again he looked behind him to the administration building which was prominent in the square, with the royal crest once again plastered outside of it on a large vertical flag banner hanging on either side of the steps up to the entrance.<br>
<br>
He knew it would only be a matter of time before people would start to gather out of a variety of reasons ranging  from knowing those whose time was up to just out of pure curiosity. That was understandable. He didn’t have much else planned that day; this was a big occasion after all, and he wanted to get this done with as soon as possible since it would mean he would finally be officially ready to act in his role in society which was exciting.<br>
<br>
Despite his inner thoughts  his resting face almost appeared bored, watching people go by in the distance, even with this tenseness in the air, people hurrying along more than usual, whispers here and there. Even some of the guards milling about looked like their mind was elsewhere. Kane conversely was as chill as a cucumber he wasn’t convinced anything more exciting was going to happen beyond his task today. Of course there was always the chance of a monster attack in Rotia, but with the latest reports it sounded like the surrounding area was clear enough.<br>
<br>
The look of boredom eventually went away from his face however as he saw a pair going at it not far in the distance in the square while they walked. They looked well off, and it wasn't so often you got to see this kind of drama in public  for that kind of class a bit of a smirk starting to form on Kane's face as he observed and listened in.<br>

Gyld Aza Lyrakien had heard tales of the Kingdom of Rotia, and although the place seemed far from welcoming, he was curious to see what opportunities it might hold for a creature such as himself. With his unique connection to the forest and his natural prowess, he thought he might find a way to make a living in this land of danger and monsters.<br>
<br>
He had traveled for many days to reach the portal near Evergate Rampart, and upon arriving, he noticed the six guards clad in metallic armor, standing watch. Gyld knew he would stand out, being a rare owl bear, but he confidently strode forward, his sleek body gliding gracefully as he entered the Kingdom.<br>
<br>
As he moved past the entrance, Gyld followed the cobblestone road, taking note of the wooden arrow signs pointing to various places of interest. His attention was drawn to the [Beast] waiting by the side of the main path. Curious about the well-dressed creature and his hidden satchel, Gyld decided to approach him.<br>
<br>
"Greetings," Gyld said, his voice a mix of a deep growl and a hoot. "I am Gyld Aza Lyrakien, an owl bear from the forests beyond. May I inquire about your presence here and what you carry in that satchel?"<br>

<b>Languages:</b> Common | &lt;Beastial&gt; | [Terran] | {Sylvan} <br>
<br>
Her mission, finding the truth about titles, had taken her into a very dangerous territory.  For one, it'd taken her to one of the most dangerous countries on the continent. The Kingdom of Rotia. There were enough monsters rumoured to be roaming around here. It was also pretty darn cold. To make matters worse, she was out here to investigate a very sensitive thing. Criminal titles. She knew those were used by the people in power to have a real and measurable influence, but to what extend? She'd heard some rumours. Humans could be killed in the the See, without it granting criminal titles. She'd learned the sea-folk could steal from land-folk without it being criminal. Those two things alone suggested that someone, something, or some people, were manipulating what was legal for each area. She wanted to know. Who was doing that? How were they doing it? How did these criminal titles function?<br>
<br>
With that as a goal, she learned of the Kingdom's autocracy. That was ideal. In a place like that, the relation between power and criminal titles might be the most direct. The least subtle out of all options. The clearest to investigate. She'd want to know how this queen decided to set the rules for criminal titles, if she even did so at all. For the sake of protecting herself from both common dangers in Rotia as well as from the dangers she'd incur whilst on her title researching quests, she'd called upon two friends. Rachael and Orchid. The only thing better than having one of them as her guard was having both of them as her guards. She'd given some brief details on her reason for going to the Kingdom and on the dangers she expected, but that would be about it. She hadn't shared a more concrete plan through letters alone. You'd never know who else might see those, after all. Still she hoped they'd show up to begin with. Otherwise, she'd have to rely on her speed and wits alone. Not that those were anything to scoff at.<br>
<br>
She'd gone past the Mecha's with a wide arch. Those things were too big. Everything was already towering over her, but those things...  That was just compensating for something. Strength, most likely, but still. They were just so gigantic she felt she might just end up in a 'death by mecha misstep' incident if she'd got near them. There was no way she'd die in such a manner! Having made it into the place, she looked around. Cold. Kind-off boring. Honestly, she had no solid reason to be in Evergate of all places. She'd just caught wind of some things that might happen here and well... stuff happening might mean stuff to investigate. Stuff to investigate might be related to criminal titles to investigate. <br>
<br>
Okay, fair, she knew she was stretching it <i>really</i> far, but surely if she just kept her eyes and ears open, she'd catch something solid soon enough.<br>
<br>
That she did.<br>
<br>
With her Heightened Senses, she'd picked up a fun sounding conversation between two white-haired folk. She lit up her pipe, inhaling the smoke through her lungs. Whooo.... smoking was so nice. Finally able to breath in life after not being able to do so in that underwater place was great. With her longs filled with smokey courage, she headed up to the two white-haired folk. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Good day.”</b></span> She'd say, heading up to them to try using [Ultimate Detective C] on the both of them. She wasn't shy to get closer to them to do so, as by now, she learned her child-like appearance made people less weary of her. One of the few benefits of being a halfling. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You two sound like you're getting involved into something interesting, which is good. I'm Victorique Sopheana, professional investigator. Unless my senses betrayed me, you sound like you might have a work offer for me?”</b></span> She'd question, but ended up sounding more like she was urging them to agree [Ultimate Argument D]. <br>
<br>
<b>Ultimate Detective</b> C – Appraisal C, Heightened Senses [Hearing/Sight/Smell/Taste] C, Insight D, Investigation D, Perception C, Law D, Energised C – Character combines all their applicable senses and knowledge to get to the bottom of a mysteries or to be on high alert for clues, dangers or hints. - Grade C – 2 Post Cooldown.<br>
<br>
<b>Ultimate Argument D</b> – Appraisal D, Heightened Senses [Hearing/Sight/Smell D, Insight D, Perception D, Persuasion D, Law D, Energised D – Character takes in any information they can from someone and uses it when carefully picking their tone of voice and mannerisms to convey their argument in the most persuasive manner, tailored to whatever might suit the person they're trying to convince. - Grade D – 1 Post Cooldown.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">Languages: Common | [Terran]</span></b></span></span></b>​</div><hr>Phoebe's quest to learn more about the magic has led her from one seemingly inhospitable corner of the world to another, except instead of the crushing depths of the continental lake this time it's a freezing corner of the content in the Kingdom. It wasn't another library that drew her to this hostile environment this time, though. She'd heard of the diseases often brought by mass amounts of mana washing along the Kingdom's shorelines. Normally, a place where disease and beasts are rampant would be the last place someone would want to go, especially coupled with the cold weather, but the pink haired mage had few questions on her mind. Where was all this mana coming from? How exactly does this mana taint soil, cause plague, and madness in both humans and beasts alike? And can there be something done about it? Faced with such a learning opportunity, Phoebe ventured to the Kingdom. Hopefully she wouldn't have to be here for very long, she wasn't trying to prematurely die a second time.<br>
<br>
Having safely arrived at Evergate a day before, Phoebe was currently browsing the wares of a magic shop on the town's main street, her eyes scanning the shelves and displays as things seemed to get busier outside in hopes of finding something that might help her get started on investigating the mana phenomenon, though with no luck searching herself so far. She decided to ask the store's clerk if they knew anything, walking up to the counter to ask. <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>"Hi, I'm a travelling mage and scholar. I've heard of the mass amounts of mana washes up on the Kingdom's shores, do you have anything that might help me get started investigating that phenomena?"</b></span> As she finished asking the question, it seemed to get busier and busier outside on the streets. How curious. You would think a settlement that's practically in the middle of nowhere wouldn't have much goings-on, so such activity was a little unusual to Phoebe, making a mental note to herself to check out what was happening outside after her business in the shop was over.</div>

<hr><br>
Ryke was fun, but there was always such a thing as too much of a good thing. Orchid had spent a good amount of time in Ryke doing odd jobs, busting heads and catching criminals alike, but after a while she yearned to face different things. It was for that reason that she had decided to go where the wind would take her and arrived to the far-off lands of Rotia. Truth be told, it wasn't really her final destination, so much as just a rest stop in between her journey seeking battle and glory. As she often did she signed up as a caravan guard to fend off bandits and beasts, both which proved a little challenge but some entertainment. There was word that there's some real monsters in these lands that she was eager to face off against, however dedicated hunters were already active in the area and did their job of keeping such creatures at bay, resulting in a fairly boring journey north. Fortunately for Orchid, things were about to get interesting.<br>
<br>
An old friend of hers had sent her a message. A certain halfling wanting to hire her for her best attributes, and she happened to be in the area already. How serendipitous. After collecting her pay from the caravan job, Orchid went about doing her usual routine in any new town: hit up the blacksmith to maintenance her equipment, find a tavern to drink and rest for the night, and try out the local cuisine. She wondered if her old buddy would even recognize her: Orchid had gone through a bit of a metamorphosis since they had last met. She's bulked up some more, and her hair changed after she drank some mysterious god juice and ended up being able to see the lines of existence. Well, if she doesn't recognize her face, surely she'd recognize her weapon. Orchid has been rocking the same poleaxe ever since she decided to take up this whole mercenary business, even after it got wrecked in the Undercity.<br>
<br>
As Orchid was finishing a meal on a restaurant balcony, she spotted a familiar blond halfling. She was talking to some dapper looking priest folk so Orchid just watched from her seat outside. She couldn't really hear what was going on, but then again it's not as if Orchid was being hired for her wits. Besides Orchid had been thinking and she wants to give being a "mysterious protector" a try. Granted, she's more suited to be up front and in the thick of things instead of skulking in the shadows and trying to spot danger, but she still wants to give it a try. Besides she likes the theatrical flair of being a big metal orc jumping in to save a lil lady from trouble at a moment's notice. Not to mention the investigator was no doubt sharp enough to spot the heavily armored orc watching her from a restaurant balcony. And so Orchid just sits, and watches.</div>

Finally an exciting visitor who he could guess   was from far away much like himself, plus they were both [beast] which was only an added bonus to him.<br>
<br>
"<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">Salutations my good friend, you look a lot bigger than you did in my visions. Hah well it's certainly nice to meet you Gyld. You see I'm a Professor and researcher by trade, I've been doing quite a bit of field studies out here, and  for some reason during my visions  I gained insight to the fact that you were coming here, and then every now and again I'd see imagery of a polar bear, so I could only come to the conclusion that it would not be long before you came here in person and it seems that I was right! I can't really explain the phenomena any better than that, but every time I've seen someone they always end up coming through this gate for some reason or another, what I do know is that it's thought these visions become more plentiful during the third life in my family, but there need not be so much about me I've rambled enough about that." <br>
<br>
"Anyway, Gyld seeing that you're a fellow [Beast] with that strange polar bear association I thought that I just might be able to help you if we managed to get in contact  because I've been studying the wild life of this area, and as you asked about my satchel, I actually have medical supplies, rations and most importantly  plenty of doses of the anti-venom you might  need if you were to get in close proximity of these 'polar bears' of course the reason why I saw the image of them them I am not sure, but it's best to safe then sorry is it not?"<br>
<br>
"Now then, as I've answered your questions I must ask why have you come here, and what does it have to do with polar bears, while my abilities may be impressive I am no reader of minds and can only interpret what I see." </span>All and all Processor Neco seemed rather excited to be talking to Gyld.<br>

His eyes narrowed somewhat as he skeptically looked back at her with a side glance, it was more of a neutral guarded expression rather than outward hostility however, even so it was far from friendly.<br>
<br>
Instead of saying hello back the man looked to Victorique and  replied, <span style="color: rgb(151, 180, 186)">"I'm afraid it might be a bit late for you investigator, he's going to be killed later today."</span>  the tone sounding bitter.<br>
<br>
 <span style="color: rgb(151, 180, 186)">"I will add on completely unjust grounds at that, he didn't do anything..I'm convinced it's in malice and error...That is why I must do what I must do. I fear that there is a finite amount of time left." </span>he said this with a  look of determination in his eyes. He did not elaborate what exactly he had to do was, but it sounded like pretty serious business.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(151, 180, 186)">"I can already tell it's unlikely you're from around here, but I should also mention that you ought to show the respect members of house Talton deserve, not all of us are forgiving as I am."</span><br>
<br>
Thankfully it didn't seem like he was particularly offended by Victorique's imposition, but he still wasn't totally giving her all the details she would have liked, her abilities getting that much out of him at least.<br>
<br>
<br>

<span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">"I know that Affonso just put the circumstances in a less than optimistic light but he's not just somebody Victorique, he's our younger brother. My name is Eliza Talton, I'm not sure what your scope of skills are  Victorique, but if you could find anything at all, that could raise doubts about his guilt, maybe we could at the very least  delay his  execution date until we can prove it without doubt., of course I can pay you, I just know that he didn't...I can't believe he would do what they claim."</span> She continued  a few tears forming.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">"Please help us." </span>Her face looking a bit desperate, before getting closer to Victorique <span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)"><span style="font-size: 10px">"I'm not sure what he's willing to do if this isn't dealt with properly." </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px">She spoke softly as if to make it hard for Affonso to hear what she was saying, but it sounded incredibly concerned and urgent nevertheless.</span><br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">Kane Blackburne<br>

Kane continued to listen with intrigue, the smirk dying down slightly, as he hadn't been expecting Victorique to come out, the height difference was interesting to say the least, she was very forward too, Kane' eyes narrowed a bit, when he heard Affonso mention that Victorique should give Talton house members  the respect they deserved, in fact he almost scoffed, but stayed quiet until after the part when Eliza got close to Victorique.<br>
<br>
Kane eventually spoke up with a bit of a sneer now, looking toward Affonso and getting closer.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"Oh and what will your family do if she doesn't show them the respect they deserve? Throw her in the dungeon? Or maybe if they're feeling generous they'll throw her in the public  stockage so that the locals can throw rocks at her! Because I just  know how benevolent your  family is!" He said sarcastically toward the end.</span><br>
<br>
He then let out a bit of a contemptuous laugh as if he was amused by the situation.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"I'm sure your brother must have done something particularly egregious and inhumane for the court to let a nobody like myself take care of him! Maybe he's that kiddie killer I head about? Because if that's the case I'm sure that there's a special place for him after death. Don't worry I'll make sure to keep his spot in line warm, it's the least I can do for someone whose so 'prestigious' " </span><br>
<br>
Kane continued to antagonize.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"Respect is yours to be earned not owed."</span><br>
<br>
This prompted Affonso to glare in the direction of Kane as soon as he spoke up, until Affonso's expression was shifting to one that was very indignant, angry even, as a hand went to his short sword as if to intimidate Kane.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(151, 180, 186)">"Tch AS IF low life common FILTH such as yourself has a place to talk about earning respect, I'll have you know that Ulisse is twice the man that you'll ever be, it sounds like you know what I could do for this transgression, but I can't even stand the idea of stooping to your level for your worth is below the dirt which I stand on." </span><br>
<br>
This only prompted Kane to look back at Affonso, the look of contempt not leaving his face.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"Oh, a Talton getting ready to go in for the kill when receiving  the tiniest bread crumb of criticism, what a surprise! Please go on ahead strike me down and show us how the apple must not fall far from the tree!" He leaned in a bit closer, not seeming particularly afraid.<br>
<br>
"Unlike you I don't hide up in my private fort while others to do my bidding, I don't have to hide my true intentions, That's why I have no intention of guarding myself from the public  when I do my job I know what I'm doing is just."</span> Kane continued to speak, the contempt and sarcasm slowly but surly turning into  more apparent bitterness.<br>
<br>
However instead of being baited further Affonso took a deep breath, and took his hand off of his sword.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(151, 180, 186)">"I don't have time to waste on getting into a squabble with someone so simple minded whose  barely above a criminal in the rungs of society who can't understand basic etiquette at that."</span><br>
<br>
Affonso turned back from Kane and looked to Eliza and Victorique once more.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(151, 180, 186)">"I hope what you say is true, Victorique, please, help our brother, and when you are successful let it  educate the unfortunate one, but  I really must be off." Affonso spoke before  heading out, leaving Victorique with Kane and Eliza.</span><br>

However Phoebe's observation would prove to be accurate, the people scurrying about outside was rather unusual, with the sense of tension. Even so the store  was more modest than some of the largest shops in urban centers, but it also wasn't lacking. Thankfully unlike the name the store was warm and cozy. There were some catalysts of various materials on some racks near the wall, some magic books on shelves, presumably enchanted rings, and amulets,  as well as wards and charms on display, as well as  more miscellaneous object sections which probably had various magic qualities .  There were also some potions of various colors and bottle shapes and sizes along the wall as well, and some jars of small preserved monster parts.<br>
<br>
A youthful woman, in dark and red robes, who was presumably the owner looked over at Penrose as she came in, standing behind the main counter in the corner of the store near the entrance.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"Hello there!, it's always nice to see a new face around here, It's usually good for business; but truthfully I can't imagine why many would want to come this far into Rotia willingly, but from the sound of thing traveler you actually have an intriguing  reason at the very least a question I'm sure many of us wish we had an answer too, I'd be delighted to assist you in making that goal easier." </span> She stated in Terran before getting to the question which Phoebe had asked her about the wares they had.<br>
<br>
The woman was in thought for a moment, before she made a hand gesture with no visible catalyst in sight, beckoning a strange looking modestly sized blue eye amulet of sorts over to her. She then looked back to Phoebe, before trying her best to speak as concisely as possible.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"This amulet contains a Frost Basilisk eye, they are rather fearsome predators, while I am not an expert in magical animals or monsters; you'd be better off talking to Professor Necco about that  topic if it strikes your fancy, I do know that this eye changes color when mana comes into it's sightline depending what kind of source it's coming from, the intensity of the glow also changes depending on if it is looking at a weak mana flow or strong  Truthfully while this  isn' this  item's intended primary purpose,  at the very least  it could help you detect Mana and try to start to make sense of any patterns or, traits of interest. I should warn you though It'd be recommendable that you bring someone with you whose familiar with this land or stay close to the guard, because where you wish to go to investigate isn't necessarily the safest place, I'm sure you've already  heard about the monsters, who roam, the same concerns are true near the Kingdom's shores.."</span><br>

The restaurant was considerably more occupied than other areas but was not filled to capacity. Patrons were largely enjoy themselves in inside dining and outside. It was apparent that many of the patrons were also battle clad, perhaps having come back from a day of slaying monsters, There were a variety of demographics from heights, builds, and occupations.  However most were younger as unfortunately was typical of the Kingdom, only the very lucky ones could say they made it to old age. Most seemed to be having a good enough time, with mead and beer flowing, as well as roasted meats, breads, winter berry jam, and root vegetables. Indeed only those with proper careers generally could afford to eat at establishments like these, there wasn't a single person there who didn't look decently off. Despite that there didn't appear to be any obvious Nobles in the place either.<br>
<br>
The balcony area was relatively spacious in it's own right with quite a few tables, with candles set out as well as dining ware, giving a pretty nice view of the center area, allowing Orchid to see what she had her sights set on rather well.<br>
<br>
Everyone seemed to be staying largely in their clusters and  socializing  among one another, however there was one figure in particular who took a look over at Orchid in a nearby table and a look of awe fell over them and they  couldn't help but speak up, while the ambient sounds of patrons could be heard, as well as people moving about every once and awhile as well as glasses clinking, laughter, and discussion.<br>

<br>
The woman proclaimed and spoke warmly.What she didn't have in manners perhaps she more than made up for her contrast in size and form compared to Orchid's well honed frame, it probably wouldn't take much inference for someone to guess that this woman was likely a mecha pilot just based on the way she was dressed, spoke, and was built, however her attire choice was interesting to say the least more like a hyrbid between formal dining wear and business attire, the lack of pants putting it somewhere in between.<br>

<b>Languages:</b> Common | &lt;Beastial&gt; | [Terran] | {Sylvan} <br>
<br>
Out of the corner of her eyes, she spotted a mildly familiar face. A changed one, but still familiar enough. The green sort-off stood out a lot. Knowing that one was near gave her even more of a confidence boost, whether that be for better or worse. It's why she stood tall (or rather, short) when the two blue eyes white <s>dragons</s> haired folk talked to her. <br>
<br>
She scoffed at the notion of being too late. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Too late? Later today means he's not dead yet, right? Sounds like I'm right on time! Besides, if the death is clean enough, even some resurrection magic would still give us a good ten more days.”</b></span> She countered his argument, perhaps a little insensitive, but such was life. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Although dying must not be all that pleasant, so tell me all you know and I'll see what I can do before the day runs out.”</b></span> She knew she'd gotten herself involved in something good right now. <br>
<br>
Strengthened by the idea that someone strong was watching over her, she just scoffed at the notion of showing respect. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'd possibly respect you more if it didn't sound like you're going to try something really stupid. Something that'd get you killed along with your brother, perhaps? I'd advise you to just work with me instead. Provide some evidence that the grounds for his execution are unjust.”</b></span><br>
<br>
The girl seemed a lot nicer to interact with. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'm a true and proven Lightfoot Halfling, a rank E Ryken Adventurer Guild Investigator and I'm an adept at psychology, investigation, law and sophistry, among other things.”</b></span> She replied when questioned about her scope of skills. <br>
<br>
Her snarky mood started to die down upon seeing the girl cry. People crying was making her uncomfortable and less inclined to be as direct and 'mean' as she'd normally be.  <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Hey, I survived a Ryke's Underbelly, clearing some noble kid's name should be a walk in the park. So... what did they accuse him off?”</b></span> She said, trying to comfort the girl in her own manner.<br>
<br>
When Eliza got closer, presumably bending down or crouching down, otherwise towering over the halfling, Victorique scoffed. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“His words made that much clear the moment I picked up on them. He's not exactly subtle with it.”</b></span> She replied. <br>
<br>
As she was talking to them, someone else came over. Considering how insulting this guy was tho these two folk, Victorique figured they didn't have as much leeway as they might want. Otherwise black-haired dude wouldn't be so openly offensive. That was probably for the best, as it meant Victorique wasn't in too much trouble either. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Hey, hold up!”</b></span> She shouted at Kane. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Stop wasting time on picking fights with blue-eyes-white-haired noble here for a bit and tell me more about that child killer. Is that what he's truly accused off?”</b></span> Not only did that sound interesting, that also sounded like she might finally be able to use that cursed [Child] title she'd obtained for some good purpose. With Orchid watching over, she'd be the perfect bait. She had full fate in her ability to run and dodge until one of her allies showed up. This might not even need to be a long investigation.<br>
<br>
She then clicked her tongue, annoyed at Affonso. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“If he's truly not worth the dirt you stand on, you shouldn't be spending so much time talking to him either, should you? It's a little insane to be talking to something less than dirt, is it not?”</b></span><br>
<br>
She was surprised when Affonso actually said 'please' to a degree that was clearly visible on her face. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Wow... I got a please? Alright. I'll take it. Although with him buggering off already...”</b></span> She turned to Eliza and Kane. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Why don't you two fill me in with all you know?”</b></span> She stated with [Ultimate Argument E] to get them to talk again and [Ultimate Detective B] to analyse their arguments, posture, use Appraisal and get an idea on if they were being honest and/or holding things back. As for her, she was an open book. She was clearly eager to start investigating this. Not only due to her simply liking to investigate stuff, but also due to her wondering if this was the type of deal where criminal titles were messed with to make someone appear guilty. Exactly the type of thing she wished to investigate.<br>

Things were heating up around Victorique. As she spot to the two twins, some thug with an axe came by. While Orchid knew Victorique was more than capable of getting herself out of trouble, if she was going to be working with those two siblings (She mostly assumes they're siblings because they look very similar from afar) than Orchid may need to intervene. More so when she saw the male put his hand on his sword, however nothing comes from it and he leaves shortly after. Orchid was starting to have second thoughts about being the mysterious protector when, to her surprise, a random pinkette appears out of no where to chat with her.<br>
<br>
Orchid was a bit surprised the woman could see her physique underneath her clothing, but then again Orchid did take the time to work out. Since she doesn't have her cellphone or internet in this world, she had to find other hobbies to take up her generous amount of freetime, which mostly involves squats and pushups. She smiles at the girl and flexes her arm a bit, her sleeve tightening around her bulging bicep. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Not much to it really. Exercise frequently even when you're not fighting, rest welland have a balance diet. Not too much fatty meat, eat your greens, drink a lot of water. Of course, doesn't mean I don't cheat when I can." </span>The orc chuckles as she motions towards the plates of dessert she had previously finished off. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Honestly, if I had known about these mechs, I probably would've saved up money to get one myself. They look amazing! Giant mechanical knights, battling monsters bigger than a storm... Sounds like just the sort of thing I would enjoy the most." </span>Orchid opted not to follow up on the girl's comments about her toughness: if Orchid has learned anything from her many battles, it's that she's <i>not</i> invincible. But that was part of the fun, and challenge.<br>
<br>
This girl looked fairly healthy all things considered, and dressed finely, so it was unlikely that she was a peasant. If she had to guess, Orchid assumed this woman was a pilot. Too soft to be a fighter, but her mannerism is pretty similar to a rent-a-warrior, so Orchid figured she operates those mechs that patrol outside. If Orchid wasn't here for business she would love to spend some time with this woman, but alas Orchid was ever the professional and needed to focus on her mission. Though that doesn't mean she didn't want to talk to the pinkette some more.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Name's Orchid by the way. As you could guess, I'm something of a mercenary. Heard there was something going on up here so figured I may as well stop by and see what I can do to help, for a price. You wouldn't happen to know those folks down there would you?"</span> Orchid pointed towards Victorique and and her current company. But Orchid wanted to know more about the thug with the axe and the silver-haired people. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"There was another silver-white haired fellow before he left in a huff. They seem like fairly important folks. The one with the axe looks like he has some history with the two and it's not a good one. Short one just walked right up to the other two before the axe man joined."</span></div>

			Professor Neco seemed to light up when he saw the owl bear approach, a wide smile forming. Finally an exciting visitor who he could guess was from far away much like himself, plus they were both [beast] which was only an added bonus to him.<br>
<br>
"<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">Salutations my good friend, you look a lot bigger than you did in my visions. Hah well it's certainly nice to meet you Gyld. You see I'm a Professor and researcher by trade, I've been doing quite a bit of field studies out here, and for some reason during my visions I gained insight to the fact that you were coming here, and then every now and again I'd see imagery of a polar bear, so I could only come to the conclusion that it would not be long before you came here in person and it seems that I was right! I can't really explain the phenomena any better than that, but every time I've seen someone they always end up coming through this gate for some reason or another, what I do know is that it's thought these visions become more plentiful during the third life in my family, but there need not be so much about me I've rambled enough about that." </span>

		<div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div>
	</div>
</blockquote>Gyld raised an eyebrow, intrigued by this peculiar character. The fact that Professor Neco had seen him in visions was unexpected, to say the least. More so because he thought he'd have to wait until he was much more powerful before people would start getting visions! This was amazing! He loved that he had appeared in someone else's visions, further confirming his firm belief in his own importance. He took a moment to gather his thoughts before responding to the professor's inquiries. <br>
<br>
"Ah, Professor Neco, it seems that more than fate has brought us together," Gyld said, his chest puffing out slightly as he spoke. "Spiritual Beasts resonate with different mortals, they come in time to worship and look to the spiritual beast for guidance and protection." <br>
<br>

			<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Anyway, Gyld seeing that you're a fellow [Beast] with that strange polar bear association I thought that I just might be able to help you if we managed to get in contact because I've been studying the wild life of this area, and as you asked about my satchel, I actually have medical supplies, rations and most importantly plenty of doses of the anti-venom you might need if you were to get in close proximity of these 'polar bears' of course the reason why I saw the image of them them I am not sure, but it's best to safe then sorry is it not?"</span>

</blockquote><br>
He paused, considering his next words carefully. This could very well be his first tribal leader! Perhaps even a shaman to begin worshiping him as a spiritual beast! <br>
<br>
"If you would be so kind as to share your expertise and accompany me on this journey, I am certain that together, we can unravel the mysteries surrounding this elusive creature. And in return, I offer my protection and the unique connection I have with the forests to aid us in our quest."<br>
<br>
Gyld looked thoughtful for a moment, pondering the professor's offer of help. "Your knowledge and supplies would indeed be invaluable in my quest. As for my reason for coming to this land, I've heard of the dangers it holds and thought that perhaps in such a place, I could find the challenge I seek in the White Bear of the North."<br>
<br>

</blockquote><br>
"What you didn't see is that I have traveled to this land seeking a mysterious creature, known as the White Bear of the North. I, too, have had visions of this polar bear, and I believe that by engaging in a sacred hunt blessed by the moon and the winds of the north, that I will attain its secrets, I will come to better understand my bear nature and unlock hidden powers within me."<br>
<br>
Gyld awaited Professor Neco's response, hoping that the excitement of the adventure would be enough to convince the professor to join him. In the back of his mind, Gyld couldn't help but wonder if there was more to these visions than either of them realized.</div>

Her appearance led Phoebe to guess that they were roughly around the same age. If she didn't use some sort of anti-aging spell, potion, or whatever, to own and run a shop like this at her age is really impressive. A short pause after the shopkeep introduced herself, the woman produced a blue amulet. Quite a mesmerizing trinket on its own, but Phoebe was much more interested in the capabilities of the amulet as described by the young woman. <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>["That amulet would definitely be helpful, thank you!

All the while Phoebe was talking with the woman, the matter of the activity outside lingered in her mind, eventually getting to the point where Phoebe needed some answers. <b><span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">["By the way, what's happening outside?

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/292906d0-33f8-4c58-8dd0-be594fbffbf4-1-png.1085981/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1023/1023111-c4dd0d6755b04e3b52d561fc2a8ab112.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="292906d0-33f8-4c58-8dd0-be594fbffbf4-1.png" title="292906d0-33f8-4c58-8dd0-be594fbffbf4-1.png" width="100" height="150" loading="lazy"></a>​</div>It didn't seem like Affonso was too interested in engaging Victorique further with her counter words, mostly scoffing  and grumbling to himself here and there. He didn't seem particularly pleased overall that she was prying for information, that much was clear particularly after she mentioned the fact that what he was intending on doing seemed stupid. Affonso muttered a bit after that line in particular something under his breath which wasn't terribly coherent in Terran. Also annoyed when she clicked her tongue his way and seemed to in a way side with the 'black haired dude'. Regardless his mood looked like it brightened a bit when Victorique essentially confirmed that she would assist, but this did not stop Affonso from going out to take care of his 'business' which more than likely translated to him getting ready to do whatever 'stupid' thing he was preparing to do, not wanting to take any chances it seemed, as he didn't stay around for questioning on his way out of the square.<br>

<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">Eliza</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/screenshot-2023-05-02-at-9-34-13-pm-1-png.1085982/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1023/1023112-0634ead0c41456b05fdea6d5765854f9.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 9.34.13 PM-1.png" title="Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 9.34.13 PM-1.png" width="100" height="109" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Eliza seemed to calm down ever so gradually as Victorique took a bit of a kinder approach when the tears came into play, as well as when Victorique reaffirmed with her that she had managed in the Underbelly. When Victorique confirmed that it had been transparent Eliza looked a bit more distressed  at that revelation. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">"It's..really awful, I'm afraid what you say will become true if we don't do something, but..were you genuine you mentioned that resurrection magic? I can't say I Know many who are capable of bringing someone back the way they were.." </span>She said almost a bit timid sounding. Before following up with.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">"N-not that I don't have faith you can help us before anything like that is needed! I just..it would make me feel better knowing that even if...the worst happens we still would have options."</span> She clarified.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">Kane Blackburne</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/crop-1-jpg.1085987/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1023/1023117-dd24894ecc7f82a7319ffe3d22cc8746.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="crop-1.jpg" title="crop-1.jpg" width="100" height="204" loading="lazy"></a>​</div>Kane wasn't even really expecting Victorique to feel like speaking to him, so when he got a shout his way, he was actually surprised. Unfortunately it was telling him to stop arguing with the noble, which Kane didn't really feel like stopping,, so he didn't really bother responding to that. It was nice to see that the guy finally left. Kane then looked to Eliza once again, and back to Victorique as if he was contemplating what his next move was, his face still far from friendly as he was in thought.<br>
<br>
Upon hearing Victorique make her buggering off content Kane said  looking to no one in particular, <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"Good riddance."</span><br>
<br>
As Victorique started her line of questioning for the pair to divulge information to  her  with her abilities in play once again, Kane's standing stance still wasn't exactly the most friendly looking, the look on his face having shifted from mischievous to one which was almost sour, while he was in thought. He stood straight, before looking from Victorique to Eliza once more. Kane did eventually turn to Eliza, who looked back at him a bit nervously, looking away quickly.<br>
<br>
Kane then let out a bit of a sigh before shortly saying, <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"Look lady, I have nothing personally against you,  it's your older brother whose a cox-comb walking around with that holier than thou attitude."</span> Kane said matter of fact.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"He's not the only one either, but just because there are some bad apples doesn't mean the whole tree is rotten."</span> Kane clarified, sounding more calm and reasonable as he said this, still not really giving off 'friendly vibes' even so.<br>
<br>
Eliza looked a bit surprised by this revelation but she still made minimal eye contact with him, instead redirecting her attention to Victorique without a word.<br>
<br>
Kane  then looked  back to Victorique  as and finally decided to speak, taking on the more neutral tone toward Victorique as well, seemingly not particularly bothered by her either at the moment. Perhaps it was because she spoke to him like someone normal rather than looking down on him, which was a bit strange for him to see.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"As I don't really have much better to do if you really wanna know, personally I have no reason to believe that he didn't commit the crime, he was found guilty of murdering a child near the walls, the wall guards, they found his sword on his person slathered with blood, and him nearby the body not long after. I understand that the Talton's here were visiting here on official business, this all transpired two weeks ago or so."</span> Kane replied. At the very least as an executioner he was privied to some information on who he was going to be executing.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">"What he says is true, we were here on official business...and then Adriano went out for a stroll, you see he has a hard time falling asleep at night, so he went out for a walk in the perimeters, and before we knew it.." She said toward the end sounding teary again, "He was being arrested..but you both don't understand..there's no way Adriano could do something like that..I Just can't believe he would..he's a good person, it doesn't make any sense..something else had to have happened." </span>Thanks to Victorique's abilities she could see that it didn't seem like Eliza was being dishonest to her from what she could tell, the emotion seemed genuine, like she truly believed what she was saying.<br>
<br>
Kane scoffed a bit at that, <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"Lady, I don't know about a good person but I can tell you both that the guy has been absolutely distraught since being arrested, talking about how he didn't do anything wrong." <br>
<br>
"He also isn't the only one due today either so today's event will be on either way." </span><br>

She exclaimed looking a bit giddy even at seeing the orc show her physique.  <br>
She also giggled some when Orchid mention cheat meals being something she partook in when she could.  <span style="color: rgb(255, 151, 246)">"Thanks that's really great to note!"<br>
<br>
"I definitely get that haha,  but y'know moving around in a mecha isn't easy work either! There are just so many monsters that you have to deal with around here, cause they just don't stop coming. Really the  only good thing out of it is the parts you can harvest and some of the gear, both of which have pretty useful applications in the everyday world."</span> She said.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(255, 151, 246)">"Course if we could just wish them all away I would in a heart beat, monsters do so many horrible things..and unfortunately  it can be a real challenge for people to find work around here outside of it being combat related..."<br>
<br>
"But I'm totally glad you think that they're cool, I do too! They're so customizable, and they let every some of the weakest of people feel like what it is to be strong.." she said practically gushing over the topic.<br>
<br>
"If you ever find yourself wanting one down the line I could totally help hook you up, plenty of people in our type of work use them." </span>She said with a smile.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(255, 151, 246)">"I can only guess that was I right about you not being from around here then."</span> She replied after Orchid shared her occupation, as while mercenary wasn't exactly an uncommon occupation between that, adventuring and the military  <span style="color: rgb(255, 151, 246)">"Orchid's a nice name, my name's Dafne it's totally nice to meet cha~"</span> She said cheerily, before addressing the next part of Orchid's line of dialogue asking her about what was going on.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(255, 151, 246)">"Oh that!"</span> She then stood up to look over to see the white haired people Orchid had been talking about.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(255, 151, 246)">"She's a Talton!"</span> Dafne said , pointing to Eliza. <span style="color: rgb(255, 151, 246)">"They're a noble house in Rotia."<br>
<br>
"So is the guy who left."</span><br>
<br>
She then pointed to Kane, and seemed to shudder a bit a look of a disgust almost forming on her face, as if she had to force herself to conjure the words,<span style="color: rgb(255, 151, 246)"> "And that..guy..is an executioner...totally gross."<br>
<br>
"Which I guess leads me to what's happening today, unfortunately a member of House Talton was found guilty of murder and he's scheduled to be executed later today, there's also been some tension about the possible risk of elevated monster activity today based on scout reports, so people have been a bit..more on edge than usual with those two..things hand in hand, there have also been some..unsavory rumors going around to top it all off, it's really a cocktail for tension in a place like this."</span> Dafne said.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(255, 151, 246)">"But you shouldn't have to worry about all of that too much.."</span> She then looked at the shorter person that Orchid had mentioned. <span style="color: rgb(255, 151, 246)">"Yeah i don't..really exactly know who the shorter one is, she looks like a new face."</span><br>

Most fascinating, you see visions are within my family, my mother had them, as did her father, and now I have them, and they've always led us in the right direction, so by this reasoning I can conclude that, we were simply meant meet one another."</span><br>
<br>
He then said with a smile and a small bow, <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)"> "I believe that given this mutual information it would be most beneficial for both of our goals, if I accompany you then, as these bears are of great interest to me as well and have been for quite some time, there's alway risk involved when dealing with these more..dangerous beings, so knowing that you'll be there is certainly reassuring. Perhaps between the two of us we can complete your quest, and see if there is anything further for you to unlock, meanwhile  I can learn more about these illustrious creatures, and we can  both discover what these visions truly mean."<br>
<br>
"Irrespectively I do strongly believe that it is in your best interest to follow your instincts here, I think that if you are having the gift of visions there is something important just on the cusp of our discovery. Now then, if you wouldn't mind following me I think that we can better prepare back at my lab, there's more I can share with you there, and I'm sure that you've traveled long and far, so I certainly understand if you'd like to have a period of rest before we head out on such a grand excursion."</span> Professor Neco said cheerily enough.<br>
<br>
As he gestured for Gyld to follow him., starting to head toward the sign which was going to lead them toward the more main street type area.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Out of curiosity where you do hail from?"</span> He said to make some small talk along the way toward the building with the tall observation deck tower.<br>

<span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"As I am a supporter of everything academic,  and I am assured that you are going to put it good use more than just it's looks, I can in good will give it to you discounted for 70 Rykes."</span>  <br>
She said with a bit of a smile. Given the monster part in question wasn't exactly the easiest thing to get it was a fairly generous offer for Phoebe, even if that still equated to about three and a half day living expenses for the average person. Indeed this young woman was more than likely talented, as Phoebe's observation was certainly well taken at her age.<br>
<br>
She then placed the amulet down on the counter gently, waiting for the exchange before replying, <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"Oh yes, Professor Neco's laboratory is difficult to miss,it's positioned near this very street that you're on now, there's an observatory tower with a ceiling with an opening jutting up and out from the building, you probably already saw it on your way looking around."</span> She replied. Indeed the observation tower was somewhat of a landmark to say the least, even if it wouldn't necessarily be obvious to an outsider for whom it belonged too.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"As I said he is certainly knowledgable about the topics you are curious about and should be able to tell you how to use that amulet to it's fullest potential..and he has been known to accompany travelers, he may even know that you're already here, it's been said that he has rather accurate visions..a most curious fellow, but also quite kind, I think you'll find him most adequate for what you are looking for." </span><br>
<br>
Then hearing Phoebe ask her about what was going on outside the Shop owner looked up briefly in thought before replying without getting too deep into the details, shifting her weight a bit.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"You see, the town right now..is on a bit of a higher alert than usual, scouts came back and spoke of there being potentially higher than usual monster activity around this area, in addition there's an execution scheduled today with several individuals, not all of which are popular picks which people agree with, it's part of the reason you may have. seen the royal guard deployed here, there are also nobles visiting, all and all the situation is a bit more tense than usual, I myself have been trying to keep a low profile and just keep the shop running, I'm not really one to get involved in politics anyway.."</span> <br>

<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Is that so? Did any magistrates or whatever they call judges around here do their magical appraisal thing to find out if he's a murderer? Also who did he kill? Can't imagine that someone from a noble house would be executed so soon unless he did something seriously bad, like murder the governor or something."</span> Orchid was really more interested in this investigation since that's what it seems like Victorique was going to do, so she still had a few more questions. But this monster hunting business was also interesting and who knows, maybe it's related. Most folks dismiss monsters as being mindless beasts with more power than sense, but maybe this whole thing was a ploy by some monster mastermind trying to undermine the defenses of this place. Definitely a reach, but if Orchid could see this happening if they were fighting say, an enemy nation or something.<br>
<br>
Once the pinkette, Dafne, answered her questions about the murder Orchid figured she may as well follow up on this monster business if that's an angle she's going to investigate. Plus these robots are just really cool, and Orchid wouldn't mind spending some time here to figure them out.<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"> "So, you seem like you've seen your fair share of fights here. What's it like fighting in a giant robot? And what sort of monsters do you usually fight? Honestly speaking, most of the monsters I've fought were little more than corrupted beasts. Oh sure, a giant bear with spikes growing out of his arms and face is terrifying, but he's still a bear in the end. I've never even seen a monsters bigger than that, and I'm sure most of the abominations in these lands are at least as big as some of those mechs I saw at the gate." </span><br>
<br>
Orchid then motioned her hand towards her poleaxe, which was strapped to her chair behind her.<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"> "And how do you pilot these mechs? I can't imagine it's easy to translate one's physical skills to a machine. Hell I tried to take up horse riding to become a proper knight, but fighting on horseback is <i>vastly</i> different from what I normally do on foot. I would love to learn how to use these mechs, but I'm sure it's not an easy skill everyone for someone like myself."</span> As she spoke, Orchid noted some waiters coming by to clean up dishes. She flagged one down and looked to Dafne. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Want anything? I'm just going to order some drinks." </span></div>

<br>
Well, she knew one thing for sure. She wouldn't cry about Affonso's death if he got himself killed doing something stupid. He'd been warned, she'd told him she'd fix this, he still went on. That was on him right now.<br>
<br>
It's the girl's tears that got her to chill down a bit. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Well, yes. It's not easy and should be avoided if possible, but there have been some cases where folk were resurrected. There's a famous example from Ryken where someone from the Adventurer's Guild was deemed a murderer, but resurrected his victims to undo his crime... but that's getting off track. For now, let's just figure out how to avoid needing to go through such lengths to begin with.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She scoffed. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“We won't be needing such options. Even the gods themselves find me an [Annoying Pursuer] when I bite down into a mystery and I've decided I'll be latching onto this one with equal ferocity. Perhaps I can finally figure out how criminal titles are used and manipulated while at it.”</b></span><br>
<br>
It seemed like the red eyed, black haired dude also toned it down a bit in front of the girl. She wasn't sure what got him to play nice, but that'd probably make things easier, so she for sure wouldn't complain about it. She clicked her tongue at the story. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Well, that's just about every shred as suspicious as it sounds. I mean, come on, randomly murdering a child and not even bothering to hide the evidence? That sounds like your classical set-up.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She took out her pipe, stuffed in some tobacco and lit it. Inhaling the smoke helped her thing. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Well, first things first, I'm assuming they must claim him to have had some sort of motive right? I know this place is known to be a bit backwards, but surely they at least tried to make sense of it at some point, right?”</b></span> She looked at Kane in particular.<br>
<br>
Then at Eliza. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“On the other hand, are there any people that'd love to see him framed? Any enemies, rivals, inheritance. You know, the usual suspects...”</b></span> As she went through that list, she remembered another option. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Ah, since this place is known to have a fair few monsters in it, those would be a good guess. He might as well have been mind-controlled into doing it by a monster having some fun, so... Hmmm... to track such an option down, do you know if there have been more cases like this? Murders with a barely explained motive?”</b></span><br>
<br>
That'd cover some basics, but that wasn't enough. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Anyhow, take me to the crime scene. I want to see if there's anything left the others have missed.”</b></span> She commanded Kane and Eliza as if it was the most natural thing to do in the world, although not even in an overtly bossy manner. It was the type of 'you're also curious, right, so just do this' manner. One that casually assumed they were fine with her taking the lead on this investigation. <br>
<br>
Actually, she remembered something. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Ah, you're a tough guy, right? I'm Victorique Sopheana. What's your name? I gotta know who to call if I end up running into a monster or mastermind. It'd be able to outrun just about anyone and anything, but that means the culprit would still be on the loose, so I'd rather call for help. Sadly, one of the guards I tried hiring didn't show up and the other seems pre-occupied.”</b></span> She glossed over at Orchid's location. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“So I'll be counting on you, so lead the way.”</b></span> Just like that, she'd decided he'd go from executioner to body-guard for the duration.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">Languages: Common | [Terran]</span></b></span></span></b>​</div><hr>Given the amulet's capabilities, it was to be expected that it would be a little pricy, but 70 Rykes was a bit steep. Still, the amulet’s abilities would prove useful in her investigation. As Phoebe counted out the 70 Rykes from her coin purse, she started thinking of her current travel budget, which was recently reduced thanks to the <a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-salty-tissue-paper.524260/post-11606152" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-salty-tissue-paper.524260%2Fpost-11606152&amp;hash=2992794d2b3c1053de4ceefb3111de45">incident on the Fatte Tunalia</a>. At this rate, she'd need to find someway to make more money. On one hand, she could just return home for a little to work a job to save up some money and then go back out. Could take up some short term instructor role at Ryken Academy, that'd be a productive way to spend time. On the other hand, she somehow make money on her travels. Maybe take some quests from the Adventurer's Guild? Eh, the decision could be made later after she'd sorted out all this mana washing up on the shores business and how homesick she's feeling after all that. For now, the pink haired mage placed the 70 Rykes on the counter and picking up the amulet. <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>["Thank you very much."]</b></span> Phoebe bowed her head a little as she said that.<br>
<br>
After completing the exchange, Phoebe listened along as the shopkeep went on about Professor Neco. <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>["Oooh, so that's what that place is! Yea, I saw it heading to the inn yesterday after I got here. I'll be sure to check it out."] </b></span>This Professor Neco character's expertise in the lay of the land and of magical creatures would definitely be helpful to have, though Phoebe did find the mention of his visions to be a little curious. <br>
<br>
The conversation then moved to the goings on outside. <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>["Hmm, I see..."] </b></span>Given the Kingdom's autocratic government, happenings of public execution wouldn't be that much of a surprise. Still though, it's not something that Phoebe would probably want to see herself. But the thing that interested her the most was the presence of a few nobles in a such a remote location. Had someone pissed off the wrong person? That'd certainly help explain things. Perhaps Phoebe should follow the shopkeep's lead and try to stay out of the Kingdom's politics while she was here. <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>["Well, thank you for the info and the amulet, I shouldn't keep you any longer. I'll be heading over to the Professor's lab. Good luck with business."]</b></span> She bowed her head again before turning to exit the shop.<br>
<br>
As she stepped out onto the streets, there definitely much more people out there than when she first entered the shop a little while ago. Taking a look around the cityscape, Phoebe spotted the observatory in question before starting to make her way over there.</div>

<br>
"About who he killed I heard It was a child, I'm not sure where the child is from or whose family they hail from, but killing a kid...is pretty serious as you can imagine, it wasn't like a duel or something gone bad, really just some innocent kid as far as people have been talking so regardless of who you are when you get into killing defenseless people, it..tend to be a very serious charge"</span>  Dafne said sounding almost  a bit sad toward the end of her line of dialogue.<br>
<br>
Dafne did perk up when Orchid asked her about what it was like fighting the mech, turning to look to her once more. <span style="color: rgb(255, 151, 246)">"Oh! It's really exciting actually, I love taking down large monsters, it's always really exciting! I guess the best way I could describe is..it's sort of like being in a giant set of armor, with internals you need to manage sometimes. You see it's powered by magic, but it does take genuine skill to pilot it effectively. By manage internals it's..kind of like if you occasionally  had to think to breathe or think to make your heart work, with stuff you might need to pull, push, or squeeze at specific times.. there's also depth perception and coordination skills involved of course.  It also really depends on the build and model, a lot of the military's builds have standardization with certain unit types, but if you're out and about with your own working as an adventurer you're more likely to see more..less professional or unique builds. That isn't to say that sometimes you don't see people with these sorts of builds in the military it just means that they probably had a career and were allowed to use their mech of choice for action."</span><br>
<br>
Dafne smiled as she spoke about this, it seemed like she was pretty passionate about the subject!<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(255, 151, 246)">"Monsters are all shapes and sizes around these parts, you are right to assume they can get pretty big based on the sizes of the mechs, sometimes we definitely end up fighting monsters which are comparable in size or larger, thankfully the extremely large  ones tend to be pretty rare from what I've seen. of course it depends the sort of areas you go into, there are some that are much riskier than others, particularly when you start going into places like the dark continent where those sorts or extremely dangerous monsters get much more plentiful..but sounds like you've had your fair share of fighting some interesting stuff, there are definitely monsters that are bear size around here too."<br>
<br>
"Back to the piloting thing maybe I could show you the inside of mine sometime!"</span><br>
<br>
She perked up a bit more when she inquired about drinks. <span style="color: rgb(255, 151, 246)">"Ooo yeah I could totally go for an orange nectar right now."</span><br>
<br>
A waiter was swift to come over and was ready to take a drinks order when all was said and done.<br>

The added bit of Victorique speaking about not needing it too certainly didn't hurt making Eliza feel better too. Despite this every now and again Eliza looked in Kane's general direction as if she wasn't the most comfortable being in his proximity, it was looking more like she tolerated his presence.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">"Well of course!" </span>Eliza agreed with Victorique. <span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">"Why would anyone strike someone down child or not in a place where they'd be caught so quickly? Beyond the fact  there's no way he would ever harm anyone like that I promise you as someone whose grown up along side him..he isn't capable of such a horrible thing without there being foul play involved.."</span> continuing to defend her brother with her words.<br>
She didn't seem to particularly react to Victorique going for a smoke.<br>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/crop-1-1-jpg.1087416/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1024/1024546-dd24894ecc7f82a7319ffe3d22cc8746.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="crop-1-1.jpg" title="crop-1-1.jpg" width="100" height="204" loading="lazy"></a>​</div>Kane had been listening to the two interact, looking back and forth between them, his face was a bit harder to read this time around, but overall he still wasn't giving the most friendly vibes off.<br>
Kane let out a bit of a dark chuckle when he heard Victorique turn to him and ask that. <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"If by 'backward' you mean one of the swiftest sentencing turn arounds in the realm  and people getting what they deserve quick, then sure 'backward.' is the way to describe it." </span>While this wasn't exactly a completely factually incorrect statement it still missed quite a bit of the nuance of how the autocracy created situations where people were overly harshly sentenced or things were not as thoroughly looked into as they should have been. Nor did it explore whether or not the death penalty was ever appropriate, it was assumed it was.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"Course they tried to make sense of it, they don't just pull a sentence out of a hat. For a motive they said he likely killed the kid out of anger for disrespecting him or something like that,  whatever it was he appeared to be pretty angry when they had apprehended him.."</span><br>
<br>
Eliza then looked back to Victorique once more as she questioned. She appeared to go into thought once again as she rolled Victorique's question around in her mind.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">"Well..there are some who I can't say he doesn't get the best along with, but I can't imagine any of them would truly want him framed or go to such extreme lengths..to make it so.all the way out here no less..although there is a member of House Cecil who I heard  gossip about making a special arrangement to come and view his execution..as for where they are at the moment I am..unaware, nor would I want to proclaim that they had anything to do with this, but he and them weren't..on the best terms."</span><br>
<br>
Kane rolled his eyes abit at the mention of  House Cecil.<br>
<br>
She looked a bit more concerned when Victorique brought up the possibilities of monsters. <span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">"It would have to be a..pretty powerful monster I..imagine to have an influence like that in here." She spoke sounding a bit hushed on this particular topic. "Deaths aren't exactly uncommon, there certainly have been plenty of strange cases all over Rotia as well as here I'd assume, but Evergate isn't my home, I would need to look more into it.."</span> Eliza confirmed.<br>
<br>
Kane looked a bit surprised once again when Victorique spoke to him matter of fact to show her the crime scene, but it wasn't nearly as much as when she asked if he was supposed to be a tough guy, and then gave him her name to top it all off. Before a grin of sorts started to form on his face.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"You know Victorique, you are aware what I do for a living right? And that really doesn't bother you? I'm sure it didn't take someone  like yourself long to figure out  that this Talton over here isn't exactly the most fond of me either, that's not an uncommon position to hold in Rotia believe me I know from experience .so unless you're trying to get a future career as an executioner just letting you know that hanging around me long isn't gonna win you many favors with a lot of people around here..but if you insist even after knowing that, it doesn't really actually matter to me either way if you can prove this guy innocent or not, at the end of the day I'll still get paid, so sure I'll help you out, it's not like I have a lot better to do, and it's sure as hell more interesting then just standing around here till it's show time."</span><br>
<br>
Eliza didn't really look the most pleased that Kane had been so forward with his comments, but she didn't try to deny them either, before she said, <span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">"If he <i>must</i> come, I insist that I walk beside you."</span>  Eliza said looking to Victorique.<br>
<br>
Presuming everyone was ready to get a move on Kane started to lead the pair through the streets away from the square, heading closer toward the border walls since it was where the murder had taken place. After some walking they'd eventually reach an open snowy area near the wall where there was a gap from where the houses were. In the ground there appeared to be some very small deep holes which someone observant might notice, of course the blood, bodies and weapons had long been cleared away so they were mostly dealing with what had been left.<br>

Part of the reason the gem was so expensive to begin with at regular price was because of how dangerous Frost Basilisk were to successfully kill and take the eye from.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"Of course, Your patronage is appreciated, and believe me I know what it can be like out there, on journeys like these  so if you find yourself needing any assistance with your stay here, please feel free to return and I could possibly help you with accommodations for the days that you're here, as I said I strongly believe in supporting academic endeavors.."</span><br>
<br>
She nodded once more,<span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"> "It really is of my belief it's best to not get involved in complicated matters  such as the ones I mentioned if you need not too, and thank you I appreciate your well wishes, business around these parts is up and down I must admit Evergate isn't exactly a prime destination in Rotia but it does help lower the  land taxes considerably , even so your recent purchase certainly helps me keep the place running, Farewell then, and I truly do wish you luck during your time here..and please stay safe."</span> She finished sounding a bit more serious toward the end.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">Professor Neco's Lab</span></b><br>

The tension was still there in the streets as people walked about, the low hum of talking could be heard  there was a buzz in the town. Nothing too eventual transpired for Phoebe as she made her way over, however there was another Mech which had made its way down the street she was on taking up quite a bit of room, but she was still able to get around it easily enough.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">Professor Neco</span></b><br>

While this was transpiring Professor Neco himself had made his way with his new Owlbear traveling companion making  more small talk with him where  before he eventually reached the laboratory entrance.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Well then we're here!~" </span>Professor Neco said cheerily enough, his tail shifting about some as he opened the  wooden door up into the well organized space.  They just happened to be arriving near the same time as Phoebe had gotten near the entrance herself, Professor Neco out of habit turned toward her after noticing her there before he turned to her.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Oh, hello there! Are you here to use the lab or for information by any chance?" </span>He asked her, those two reasons by far made up  the vast majority of reasons people came to his laboratory after all so it wasn't a far fetched guess. Even so he presented himself quite friendly to her following up with a <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"If you are, you've come just at the perfect time. You see I've just met a most interesting person who I've been seeing in my visions"</span>  He then  gestured to Gyld.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"So I was just about to show him around the place, I can certainly do the same for you if you are interested."</span><br>

<br>
She scoffed again. This girl was really assuming she needed the resurrection magic. As if Victorique  wasn't going to get this sorted with ease. She'd show her! Sadly enough, Eliza only confirmed the obvious without giving any additional insight. At least not immediately.<br>
<br>
Kane's reply of 'backward' had her grimace. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Exactly, quantity over quality. Not being too worried about getting it wrong at times, being tricked by corruption, monsters or clever criminals on the regular. That type of backwards. Glad to hear we're on the same page.”</b></span> She replied to him with a challenging tone to it.<br>
<br>
His next words had her pause for a bit. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Out of anger... I see.”</b></span> She didn't even need to ask if that lined up with what they thought Adriano would do, as she was pretty sure Eliza would deny it. Still... <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Do you guys really think your nobility is that cruel, moronic and corrupt?”</b></span> That part was the bigger mystery. <br>
<br>
Eliza had a bit more useful information next. Some sort of member of House Cecil wanting to see him executed? Well, that was one thing to keep in mind. She spotted Kane's eye roll. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You're not a fan of this House, I presume?”</b></span> She asked him, wondering if he knew more.<br>
<br>
From what Eliza said next, monsters couldn't be ruled out, but would be a rarity. Still, if this was a one-off, it'd be less likely. She turned to Kane. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“So, do you know more? If there's been more executions with dubious motive? I want to know if the possibility of it being a powerful monsters is worth investigating first or only if I rule out other options. If this is a one-off occasion, I'll leave it for later. If there's similar cases, I'll make that my first hypothesis.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She looked Kane in the eyes when he mentioned all that about him, slowly putting her pipe out... then bursting out in laughter. It was almost as if someone or something else was laughing along with her in the background. [Bulvark's Touch]. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Hahaha! You don't have the slightest clue, do you?”</b></span> He thought he was anywhere near as bad as the folk she'd work with before? That was cute. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I've dealt with all sorts of scum from the Ryken Underbelly, I occasional employ a guard who casually explained to me how she'd cook up halfling meat once and I've been trying to figure out how titles are given to the extend even whatever god or higher power gives them seems to be fed up with my attempts. I should be warning you! Are <i>you</i> sure you want to help out someone that can tarnish <i>your</i> reputation?”</b></span><br>
<br>
She then turned to Eliza again. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Yes, he must. Don't worry though. At the end of the day, our reputations don't matter as much as our ability to get to the truth and to expose it to all. I'll figure this out.”</b></span> She was confident. That said, she was a little confused. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You're free to walk where you want.”</b></span> She wasn't sure why this girl wanted to walk besides her. Did she want to walk further away from Kane or did her child-like appearance make someone feel protective of her again? She figured she'd check with some [Insight D] to see if she could make sense of Eliza's motivation there.<br>
<br>
As she approached the area, she got to work. She'd first use [Ultimate Past Detective]. She honestly didn't expect much, but you never knew. Perhaps someone skittered off just before they arrived here or something? Probably not, but she was rather sure than sorry. Next she used [Ultimate Detective] to go through the scene carefully. The holes, any traces of where blood might've been cleaned up from, distances towards walls, buildings... whatever might be relevant, she'd commit it to her [Eidetic Memory]. Finally, she'd quickly check if [Ultimate Future Detective] gave anything. Once again, she didn't expect anything, but was rather sure than sorry. Folk might say and think what they like, but one thing was sure, she was thorough and serious when it came to her work here.<br>
<br>
[Bulvark's Touch] - Due to your interaction with the First Tyrant, Ryke Bulvark, you emit an aura of dominance to any that you talk to. Whoever you interact with will feel like they are talking to a giant, to an intimidating figure. Echoes of Bulvark's twisted laugh can be heard by the character and those speaking to the character. Great for interactions.<br>

Orchid listened to Dafne, still keeping an eye on Victorique, but she was interested in how these mechs operate. They seem a more... Organic in nature, though Orchid supposed that in this world, a more sci-fi explanation isn't going to be common. Hell if operating the mechs was more of a thing of will than knowledge, maybe Orchid could operate one despite having never even seen so much as the inside.<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"> "I'd love to see you in action one of these days. Stuff like this is better shown than said. And who knows, maybe I'll get to do more than be inside of your mecha."</span> Orchid says in a vaguely flirty manner. However duty calls. When a server came by to get Dafne's drink, Orchid saw Victorique and her entourage move out.<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"> "Hey Dafne, I'll be staying at an inn not to far from here. Don't recall the name exactly, but it had a dragon drinking from a mug on the sign. Room 3. I need to head out but I'll catch up with you again later."</span> Paying for her tab and the drink, Orchid also gave Dafne her business card. She had these made in Ryke, containing most of the ways Orchid could be contacted when she's not in town, as well as her qualifications. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Catch you around, pilot. Don't get into trouble without me."</span><br>
<br>
Gathering her things, Orchid looked in the direction Victorique went and proceeded to jump from the balcony onto a nearby rooftop [<i>Jumping </i>B]. Following Victorique wouldn't be hard, but trying to be subtle was. Again, Orchid was about the opposite of sneaky when it comes to being stealthy, so she was largely relying on the bizarre nature of an orc parkour across the roof to be so strange that most people wouldn't even know to be on the look out. It helps that Orchid more or less knew where they were going: Chances are Victorique is going to investigate the scene of that crime committed by the noble, which if Orchid remembers vaguely enough, happened towards the wall. So Orchid would just continue to shadow Victorique from above, doing her best to remain unnoticed as far as folks down below are concerned. <br>
<br>
Not to mention if Orchid's hunch was right and there is something more at play than a noble getting careless, maybe there was someone or something nearby watching the scene as well. As they say, criminals tend to return to the scene of the crime. Whether it be in the form of a monster with powerful magics, or just someone with a chip on their shoulder, Orchid would do her best to be a second pair of eyes to not only watch Victorique's back, but also look out for any more clues that could help her with the investigation.</div>

The journey through the streets of Rotia was an experience in and of itself for Gyld. He observed the hustle and bustle of the people around him, their resilience in the face of danger and hardship evident in their determined expressions and brisk movements. It was a contrast to the tranquility of the forest he had known, but not an unwelcome one. <br>
<br>
The buildings, with their robust architecture, stood sturdy against the chill of the northern air that swept through the streets. Snow dusted the rooftops and cobblestones, adding a touch of white beauty to the otherwise grim surroundings. Citizens bundled up in thick furs hurried past, a testament to their resilience in this harsh climate.<br>
<br>
Gyld noticed the awe in the eyes of the townsfolk as they took in his unique form. The owl bear, standing tall and proud, a symbol of nature's strength and mystery amidst the town's man-made structures. It was a sight that added a certain sense of excitement to the already buzzing atmosphere.<br>
<br>
As they made their way through the town, the sight of a large mech lumbering down the street caught his attention. He marveled at the ingenious mix of magic and machinery, a clear demonstration of the kingdom's commitment to defense in these troubled times.<br>
<br>
Professor Neco's continuous chatter provided a soothing background noise to Gyld's observations. For once, Gyld was pleased not to be alone, and he found the professor's presence comforting. The realization that someone else had seen visions of him was both intriguing and flattering to the owl bear. After all, it wasn't every day that one found themselves the subject of a vision.<br>
<br>
"Professor, it is refreshing to find someone who shares a similar understanding of the extraordinary. Your visions and research are fascinating," Gyld commented, appreciating the intellectual companionship. "I must say, this town, despite its dangers, is alive with a spirit of resilience and discovery. It’s an intriguing change from the solitude of the forest."<br>
<br>
Their conversation continued, their shared enthusiasm for their respective pursuits helping to create a connection between the two unique beings. As they finally reached the laboratory, Gyld could not help but feel a tinge of anticipation for the discoveries that awaited him within its walls.<br>

They just happened to be arriving near the same time as Phoebe had gotten near the entrance herself, Professor Neco out of habit turned toward her after noticing her there before he turned to her.

Upon reaching the laboratory, Gyld looked around with interest. The building was a maze of scientific equipment, filled with books, specimens and all manner of intriguing objects. When the professor opened the door, Gyld eyed the door, grunting. Perhaps as an owl he'd flitter through the door. He didn't want to look undignified, squeezing his robust frame through a human sized doorway. Instead of making a choice, Gyld stalled. <br>
<br>
"Indeed, a most fascinating place, Professor," Gyld remarked, his gaze taking in every detail. <br>
<br>

Even so he presented himself quite friendly to her following up with a <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"If you are, you've come just at the perfect time.

His interest was suddenly piqued when he noticed a woman near the entrance. The professor greeted her with the same friendly demeanor he had shown Gyld, introducing him to her. <br>
<br>
"Ah, I think you humans would say it is a pleasure to meet you?" Gyld said, inclining his head towards the woman in greeting. "Those who are to worship me or perhaps befriend me may utter my name as Gyld Aza Lyrakien. And you are?"<br>
<br>

Gyld was eager to explore the laboratory and learn more about the professor's research, especially if it could aid him in his quest to understand the White Bear of the North. However, he was also curious about the woman, wondering what brought her to this place of scientific discovery in the midst of a kingdom known for conflict and monsters.</div>

Not to mention the royal mechs that looked like they were straight out of the sci-fi books she used to read in her childhood in her previous life. You'd think that this place would be some sort of royal retreat or something if you disregard the dangerous location or the presence of so many commoners. As Phoebe approached the lab, she couldn't help but get a sense of deja vu. She'd seen that same architecture in the Duchy when she went to gain access to their magic library. Perhaps the architectural design really was just that popular.<br>
<br>
As Phoebe got closer to the observatory, she spotted a pair near the entrance, with one being another cat person and the other appearing to be a bear with the features of an owl, whom she was a little intimidated by. Her qualms were soon dissipated when both introduced themselves, both seeming friendly. <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>"I'm Phoebe Penrose. I'm a travelling mage from Ryke. Nice to meet you both."</b></span> She bowed her head a bit after introducing herself before looking at the cat person. <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>"Are you by chance Professor Neco? I'm looking to study the mass amounts of mana washing up on the shores. I was told that you could help me with that study and also..."</b></span> Phoebe reached into her travel bag and produced the amulet containing the Frost Basilisk eye. <b><span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">"With this. I was told that this could help with picking up mana flow, but I'm not too terribly familiar with the topic of magical beasts so I was told to seek you out."</span></b> As she awaited the Professor's response, she took a look up at his laboratory before directing her attention back towards the Professor. If that sense of deja vu wasn't strong before, it sure as hell was now. The exterior looked just like that gnome's <a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-the-foundation-of-knowledge.522758/post-11569263" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-the-foundation-of-knowledge.522758%2Fpost-11569263&amp;hash=e8b5ced36da8ec92635e67baee1ecf51">magical workshop</a> back in the Duchy. How particular. Perhaps this was the work of some travelling architect or something rather than just an affinity for the same architectural design?</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">Kane Blackburne</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/crop-jpg.1088440/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1025/1025570-dd24894ecc7f82a7319ffe3d22cc8746.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="crop.jpg" title="crop.jpg" width="100" height="204" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"You know Victorique if you say that kind of stuff loud enough around the right person in Rotia, we might end up seeing one another soon enough in a way you won't like and that'd be a real shame." </span>Kane replied darkly once more, a smirk on his face. It wasn't as much as a threat toward her as it was Kane's own way of warning her that saying that kind of stuff around people could get her in trouble, even if he didn't fully agree with her assessment.  Very much insinuating freedom of speech wasn't exactly a given right in Rotia, insult the wrong person and bad things could happen.<br>
<br>
Kane then chuckled a bit at her next question as if she just asked the most basic thing, <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"Of course plenty of them are, if  one of them even think you just looked at them the wrong way watch what can happen, it isn't pretty." </span>Kane proclaimed. It did seem counter intuitive to how Kane had been acting earlier, perhaps he genuinely didn't care.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">Eliza</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/screenshot-2023-05-02-at-9-34-13-pm-1-1-png.1088446/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1025/1025576-0634ead0c41456b05fdea6d5765854f9.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 9.34.13 PM-1-1.png" title="Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 9.34.13 PM-1-1.png" width="100" height="109" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">Eliza on the other hand huffed a bit at Victorique's question, her eyes narrowing, "That IS my family you are indirectly asking about, of course not, how could you expect someone like <i>him</i> to remotely understand what Nobles are like, last time I checked he isn't getting to know Nobles on a regular basis, none with any sense of dignity or self worth would. I can assure you the Nobles of Rotia are some of the finest people you'll ever meet, of course house matters, there are some I don't care for much but plenty who are educated, generous, kind, and talented." </span>Eliza countered.<br>
<br>
<br>
Kane piped in <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"Oh believe me I could talk to you until first light comes again, but I wouldn't want to risk offending someone's delicate  noble ears."</span>  while he snickered looking over at Eliza briefly.<br>
<br>
Kane then looked to Victorique once again when she asked that question, the not exactly friendly smile not leaving his face. "Well we're in Rotia, so what do you think?" He asked rhetorically.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"There's an excess of mana and monsters around here, just because it's rare for something to get in doesn't mean you should rule it out, all kinds of strange things happen around. I will say that I'm not an Evergate native so about what goes on around here specifically I don't know the most of, This is also my first..formal "solo show" since good ol' pops passed away."</span> He said not seeming particularly sad at this fact.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"What I can tell you is that weird stuff like this happens all over Rotia, people kill people without a known motive if you follow the gossip enough, I know I said that It wouldn't surprise me if the guy did it cause you know how Nobles can be but if a monster was involved or some kind of bad actor it wouldn't surprise me at all." </span>Kane said. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"Especially if she's telling the truth about what her brother is like." </span> He said gesturing to Eliza once more.<br>
<br>
Victorique's sudden laughing, made Kane's smirk shift to a more serious face briefly as he just watched her have an outburst which attracted the attention of some nearby people walking by, even Eliza sort of looked a bit bewildered particularly because it was like suddenly Victorique seemed like she was a much bigger threatening person thanks to the weird sound that was heard with her <b>[Bulvark's Touch]. </b><br>
<br>
As quick as Kane's look at gone from his face it came back even more prominent. <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"Oh, you didn't tell me you were that kind of gal, your life actually sounds more interesting and fun than I originally thought you know that?  Well good news for you is that I don't really care,  so I think I'll tag along, cause this is getting interesting even if I tried to tell it to you straight."</span> Kane replied, undeterred, rather he looked entertained to some degree instead.<br>
<br>
When Victorique said that the reputations didn't matter as much as their ability to seek the truth Eliza almost had a double take, before she reluctantly nodded, <span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">"</span><i><span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">Thank you."</span> </i>She replied, a bit less thrilled, as she still chose to walk near Victorique, with Victorique's use of Insight D, she'd be able to see that Even though Eliza hadn't been exactly thrilled with Victorique revealing all of that information, she still looked at Kane with a distain occasionally and briefly  like he was something to be avoided.<br>
<br>
Surprisngly despite her initial thoughts, <b>Ultimate Past Detective</b> gave her insight into something most unusual, like there was a faint white glow coming from the small holes, and almost like the sound of something moving within the tiny hole, a small white strand visible and retracting. <br>
At the actual scene of the crime the small holes were quite small and thin which Victorique could pick up on with her heightened senses. In addition thanks to <b>Ultimate Detective</b> she noticed that there were specs of dried blood against the  on the border wall on the interior, near where the small holes were facing. <b>Ultimate Future Detective </b>didn't appear to reveal much more evidence than the first ability had, however she did notice with greater clarity Kane looking around briefly standing off to the side as if he was about to speak but then pausing. Eliza was also standing off to the side watching the scene unfold, except she actually looked a bit distracted..perhaps slightly nervous, before both events occurred some seconds later. As for other details the buildings were a bit far away from the wall where the blood was which made sense none of these residential buildings of the lower class were going to be too close to the more militant zone of operation.<br>
<br>
While Victorique was hard at work, and things were back in the present vision wise Kane finally spoke up. <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"So..you seeing anything interesting here?"</span> He'd ask seeming out of curiosity, no longer a smirk on his face or an unfriendly look but one that was a bit more serious and perhaps a bit restless.<br>

She looked curiously over at where Orchid had been looking over at, but soon her drink arrived so she refocused her attention on it, as she took a drink and thanked the person who dropped it off. She took note of what Orchid told her. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(255, 151, 246)">"Ooh the Draft Dragon Inn, it sounds like, yeah okay, Maybe we can hang later then since it sounds like you gotta get going on important business." </span><br>
<br>
Dafne lit up when her drink was paid for and she received Orchid's business card.<span style="color: rgb(255, 151, 246)"> "Thanks Orchid~ I'll try not too~ Make sure you stay safe out there too, I dunno where you're going but outside of the walls can be kinda dicey in Rotia depending on where you go..like I was mentioning earlier, anyway see you later~"</span> She said, giving a small farewell wave, it sounded like she'd be down to contact Orchid later and hang out some more if possible. She looked quite impressed when Orchid went on her way jumping out just like that! She really was strong! was all Dafne could think to herself.<br>
<br>
Thankfully for Orchid, while one might assume that a Orc who was doing parkour and jumping about might be more notable to more people, given how grey and plain the  sky was today as well as people just going about their business there  just were not many who were looking up at the roofs of the buildings. People who were higher up in the buildings were typically looking outward rather than up, people who sat taller in the mechs were largely looking forward and focusing on piloting, not on the Orc who skillfully followed after Victorique in this way. Additionally, thankfully there didn't seem to be any obvious hostiles around and about at least for the moment as Orchid moved along, of course that didn't mean that something unusual couldn't crop up in the near future, so the extra vigilance was no doubtedly helpful to Victorique and company. <br>
<br>
What was a bit unusual was that  from Orchid's vantage point nearby one of the buildings that was farther away from the crime scene she could see that the same white haired Noble guy was speaking to some grey hooded figure in an alleyway of sorts, the details of the figure were ab it harder to make out beyond that with how cloaked they were and the distance, but it was still something notable, that wasn't exactly in the ordinary.<br>

Every now and again the owl bear got looks from people out of curiosity, simply they were not used to seeing a [beast] like him there with such an impressive stature. Overall it was more of looks of interest rather than hostility or coldness, some of them were a bit intimidated nevertheless. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">Professor Neco</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/screenshot-2023-05-02-at-11-31-35-pm-1-1-png.1088494/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1025/1025624-f36e4a40f0d1169d7c47d39cedc59c56.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 11.31.35 PM-1-1.png" title="Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 11.31.35 PM-1-1.png" width="100" height="149" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Professor Neco smiled warmly at what Gyld had to say to him. <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Say what you will about the leadership in this kingdom, but I too am of the belief that it takes certain types of people to have the will and determination to live somewhere like this in the realm. I must admit I'm mostly here for my own research purposes, but there are many who see this place as their homeland, and no matter how difficult it can be they desire to protect Rotia and make it prosper between  the less than ideal climate and multitude of monsters being so much comparatively closer to the Dark Continent than other areas of the realm, I must admit I find the grit for success commendable."</span><br>
<br>
Once they were actually at the Lab as aforementioned Prof. Neco was once again pleased that his new [beast] companion seemed pleased with what he could see of the interior of his lab without even having entered the premise yet. He thanked Gyld  but now there was this young woman to talk to, as his ear twitched and he listened in to why she was there.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"It's certainly nice to meet you Ms. Penrose! I can't say I was expecting someone from as far away as Ryke this far North, never mind somewhere like Evergate, regardless it's a great to have you here,  and yes! I am Professor Neco."</span><br>
<br>
His eyes seemed to practically sparkle when he heard her reason for being there. "I see you are conducting your own field research! That is quite an academic accomplishment, you know I came all the way up here myself for similar reasons, studying the wild life of these harsh lands, I too find the way mana washes up most curious, there is still quite a bit unknown about the Dark Continent too which if you ask me is likely playing some role in all of this given it's proximity."<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"I would certainly be more than happy to assist you on this journey of yours, actually I think that it could tie in quite well with what I'm  planning on doing with my new friend here."</span> He'd gesture to Gyld. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"And yes that there! Is a Frost Basilisk eye, I am very familiar with those indeed! Quite ferocious predators, whoever told you that is certainly correct, that can assist in helping you detect the mana flows, as well as what could possibly be giving it off, of course that doesn't quite answer why it's washing up, but it certainly puts the project a step in the right direction to figuring out why."<br>
<br>
"Please feel free to come in, and make yourselves at home. I can show you my notes on that eye and explain." </span>He said, gesturing in. Presuming that the party finally entered the space,<br>
<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">Interior</span></b><br>

 There were a wide array of books, note books, and papers, as well as scientific measuring instruments, jars, and other odds and ends all throughout. Of course there was the telescope area up above.<br>
<br>
He then made his way over to a shelf and pulled out a notebook, and started to flip through it, until he pulled up a hand drawn diagram of the eye in the amulet, and put it down flat on his desk. It had each part of the eye named, as well as notes written in Beastial and thankfully common as well. Whatever kind of research Neco had been doing it seemed he had a wider audience in mind.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"You see the eye changes color depending on if it's detecting mana from a [Construct], [Beast] [Fae], [Human] or [Monster] How it does this exactly function from a magical or biological process  I'm not entirely sure, but I do know that it is most likely due to the fact that Frost Basilisk seems to  prefer to prey on live beings who are capable of magic, perhaps it gains more sustenance this way..of course the latter is a theory but nevertheless..this eye will certainly be of use, since it can let you know the aforementioned and of course if you are close enough to any mana for it to detect, even if it isn't immediately visible." </span><br>
<span style="color: null">He'd then ook between Gyld and her.</span><br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Now then, I'd prepose, since I'm here with the both of you, that we strongly consider going out on our escapades together, you need to get to the shoreline no doubt, and the white bear of the North which he and I are seeking are likely to be found near the shore, so if..he does not mind I would have no problem with you accompanying us Ms. Penrose so that I could provide you additional support as well in your endeavors."</span><br>

<br>
<b>Languages:</b> Common | &lt;Beastial&gt; | [Terran] | {Sylvan} <br>
<br>
She wasn't shaken by Kane's reply in the slightest. If anything, she was almost a little... proud?  <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Don't worry on my behalf, I know what I'm doing well enough. Besides, aren't you scheduled to execute someone for the exact opposite? Going too far after merely being insulted?”</b></span> She reassured him, but whether that was true or not was another question. Although it did raise a valid question. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Come to think of how high is the chance that Adriano insulted the wrong person and got set-up himself, by someone with a gruesome sense of irony?”</b></span> She chuckled at his remark on the nobility. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“For someone warning me to watch my words, you seem awfully eager to get your own head on the chopping block as well.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She silently heard Eliza counter some of it, nodding along, not wanting to risk losing her connection to this source of influence and information. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Well, I can only draw conclusions based on what I know, so I can say I know at least one Rotian noble well enough to know she seems to be the good sort.”</b></span> There, that barely hidden compliment should probably ensure their continued cooperation.<br>
<br>
Kane's information on Evergate and Rotia was quickly recorded in her [Eidetic Memory] as it seemed relevant enough. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“An excess of mana, multiple similar cases that might or might not be related, possibly with bad actor involved. Well, that doesn't rule out anything. I guess we'd best see the scene... perhaps see if we can speak to Adriano himself somehow.”</b></span><br>
<br>
After Kane's reply, she smiled. He reminded her a little of Arthur. That was good. Arthur had been fun enough. Also surprisingly easy to manipulate. She wondered if the same would go for Kane. He did seem to have some clear buttons to push, after all. On the other hand, Eliza seemed like she was still on board, even after all the revelations, so she figured that worked out well enough.<br>
<br>
As she was using her detective abilities, she did what she usually did. Talking aloud. Both to help herself memorise with her [Eidetic Memory] and to see if there'd be anything to discuss later. It was a lot easier than going through everything and ask about it all later. She just hoped the other two would at least be clever enough to keep up. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Would you look at that...”</b></span> She mumbled, as she peered into the past. Then she spoke up more clearly. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Some sort of faint white glowing... tendril like things? Retracting from those holes just before we approached. Like magic worms trying to hide from us. I could even hear them moving about.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She then went about the place in the present. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Some blood remaining near the walls... to where the holes were facing...”</b></span> There were some options there. Was this magic used to kill the kid with and frame Adriano? Was this something that had been used to control Adriano into killing the kid? Actually... hm... <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Working hypothesis, based on little evidence, but plausible enough... The white tendril-like magic things that came from these small holes were used to control Adriano into killing the kid. Hence they face where the blood is at on the walls. He's been set-up by some monster or mage. Potentially a hired-hand as well.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Yes, that was a fun hypothesis to go by. However, something else bothered her. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Why do you both seem distract and restless all of a sudden? I know this is the place of a crime scene and all, but I feel like I'm missing something. Are you two holding something back about this place?”</b></span> She'd check. <br>
<br>
Ah, come to think of it, her earlier question! <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Also, how big is the chance I'd be able to speak to Adriano myself? His testimony should be worth a lot in order to put some things into context. See if I can support or refute this hypothesis of mine.“</b></span> That'd be next on her list. Meeting Adriano.</div>

			As Phoebe got closer to the observatory, she spotted a pair near the entrance, with one being another cat person and the other appearing to be a bear with the features of an owl, whom she was a little intimidated by. Her qualms were soon dissipated when both introduced themselves, both seeming friendly. <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>"I'm Phoebe Penrose. I'm a travelling mage from Ryke. Nice to meet you both."</b></span> She bowed her head a bit after introducing herself
		</div>
		<div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div>
	</div>
</blockquote><br>
Gyld, the majestic owlbear, stood tall as he regarded the newcomer, his penetrating gaze taking in her form and demeanor. His vanity, so inherent in his character, responded well to Phoebe's respectful introduction. Still, he wanted to remain the center of attention as long as possible. Despite his intimidating presence, Gyld thrived on admiration and reverence, his ego stroked by the recognition and respect he received. <br>
<br>
“A pleasure, Phoebe Penrose,” he rumbled in response doing his best Spirit Beast Tribe Protector impression, his voice deep and resonating, a testament to his attempt to seem powerful. His feathered chest puffed out slightly, preening under the acknowledgement, “Your presence adds another spark of intrigue to this fascinating gathering.”  He couldn't help himself to talk regal and noble, it usually inspired such awe and reverence in humanoids. <br>
<br>
His wise, owl-like eyes studied her for a moment more, noting her confidence and the aura of magical energy that surrounded her. Gyld found magic users weird, if he was being quite honest. Their abilities came from manipulating and hacking the world's mana through words, gestures, and objections, which was so unlike his own connection with nature. Still, such beings were plentiful and made great shamans and wise people to a tribe. <br>
<br>
“From Ryke, you say? Most of the human cities blur together. Is that a city's of magical prowess? How fortunate we are for a travelling mage to get caught it the gravity of my spiritual quest. Truly professor, your visions of my arrival, herald so much more for us!”  He couldn't help but get excited to finally start building momentum. It was so hard to start over, having been a spiritual beast protecting a vast tribe of millions for thousands of years, to now be forced to start over. <br>
<br>
His form, ever a combination of owl and bear, seemed to ripple subtly with the dark green energy that encompassed him. It wanted to intrigue this new comer, perhaps pique her interest so she would want to give him attention, studying him or whatever else traveling mages and scientists did. The magic of the Eternal Glade echoed within his very being, responding to his mood and thoughts. At this moment, it was a calm, curious flow that mirrored his interest in the mage.<br>
<br>
His demeanor, however, remained unaltered. He held himself with the same regal bearing, exuding the untamed beauty and strength that were the hallmarks of his kind. <br>

How particular. Perhaps this was the work of some travelling architect or something rather than just an affinity for the same architectural design?

He tried not to show his massive disappointment as Phoebe practically ignored him like he didn't exist! It was humiliating to be so casually ignored, as this mage focused on the professor instead of him! It was cruel. It made him want to turn into an owl and fly away or perhaps the bear and maul her for such insolence! But no, he was amongst humans. He vaguely remembered their ways from his past life. <br>
<br>
Gyld held himself still as stone, but inside, the insult rankled. How dare this mage overlook him? His sharp eyes, the piercing orange of a late autumn sunset, narrowed in offense. A deep growl rose in his throat, though he quickly silenced it. He was not here to fight, and he would not be baited into such petty displays of aggression. <br>
<br>
The proud owlbear’s body tensed, feathers bristling slightly. He turned his head, affording Phoebe nothing but a profile of his fierce beak. He wouldn't leave - the thought of flight or violent retribution squashed immediately - but he would also not provide the mage the courtesy of his attention if he was not worthy of hers. <br>
<br>
“Humph,” he rumbled softly, a low, rumbling note of displeasure. He then took a few steps back, withdrawing a little from the conversation. He crossed his powerful owl forearms, and let his gaze drift around the environment. He pretended like the architecture and gadgetry of the professor was more important than the conversation they pair had. <br>
<br>
While his pride had been dented, he was still the wise, observant creature of the wild. He would take this opportunity to learn more about this place, his acute senses keenly attuned to his surroundings. The talk of mana, the amulet, the architecture, the curious cat professor, and this dismissive mage - all were threads in the complex tapestry of this new adventure. <br>

</blockquote><br>
Gyld's eyes were drawn back to the professor and the mage at his words, a low rumble of satisfaction rumbling in his chest. His feathery brows lifted slightly, the tip of his beak tilting up in acknowledgment as he was given the respect he deserved. He straightened up, the prickling offense from before easing away under the professor's inclusive gesture.<br>
<br>
"Ah, of course, Professor Neco," Gyld began, a touch of warmth seeping into his deep, resonant voice. "I'm eager to lend my assistance, as long as it benefits the cause of understanding this world and its natural wonders."<br>
<br>
His eyes glinted in the fading light, a renewed sense of purpose burning within them. The aura of the wild around him seemed to ripple, responding to his unspoken command, to his unbreakable bond with nature. If this was his journey, he would make sure it was a grand one, worthy of his status and abilities. <br>
<br>
"And Phoebe," he said, dropping any honorific she might be due, turning his head to glance at her, his tone measured, but not unfriendly. "I'd be interested to see how your participation in our journey unfolds. The world has much to teach us all, some more than others, no?"<br>
<br>
Despite the initial setback, Gyld found himself intrigued by the turn of events. The prospect of working alongside the professor and the mage, the investigation of the mana influx and the mysterious amulet, everything was shaping up to be an interesting adventure. It had to all be connected to his vision, more threads of fate weaving together to aid him on his quest. And after all, the forest did not dwell on the offenses of the past. It moved on adjusting to the whims of the environment, thriving in the wake of a forest fire as easily as a spring rain. Like nature itself, Gyld decided to move on and not let the slights of the past deter him from the path that lay before him.<br>

			There were a wide array of books, note books, and papers, as well as scientific measuring instruments, jars, and other odds and ends all throughout. Of course there was the telescope area up above.<br>
<br>
He then made his way over to a shelf and pulled out a notebook, and started to flip through it, until he pulled up a hand drawn diagram of the eye in the amulet, and put it down flat on his desk. It had each part of the eye named, as well as notes written in Beastial and thankfully common as well. Whatever kind of research Neco had been doing it seemed he had a wider audience in mind.

Gyld took in the surroundings with an appreciative glance. His eyes gleamed with curiosity as he examined the various papers, books, and instruments spread across the lab. His keen gaze fell on the diagram of the Frost Basilisk's eye, an interested hum escaping him as the professor detailed its function. He never had a chance to see such wonders up close, let alone have their mysteries explained by a learned individual. This was an entirely new realm of knowledge, and he found it unexpectedly intriguing.<br>
<br>

"Now then, I'd propose, since I'm here with the both of you, that we strongly consider going out on our escapades together, you need to get to the shoreline no doubt, and the white bear of the North which he and I are seeking are likely to be found near the shore, so if..he does not mind I would have no problem with you accompanying us Ms. Penrose so that I could provide you additional support as well in your endeavors."</span>

Gyld listened to the professor with a nonchalant air, though he was inwardly pleased that he was becoming the center of this little gathering. His eyes flicked to the diagram of the Frost Basilisk's eye, expressing an aloof interest, though his thoughts were more on the quest he was about to undertake.<br>
<br>
When the professor suggested they join forces, Gyld took a moment to consider this, though not without a touch of vanity. He had come here with a very personal mission in mind. The pursuit of the White Bear of the North was his endeavor, one born from his own visions. The mage's quest was of little consequence to him initially, but the idea of having others assist him on his journey, contributing to his grand mission, was appealing.<br>
<br>
"Well, Professor Neco," he began, fixing his gaze on the catlike researcher with an air of self-importance, "As a noble creature of nature, it is my duty to help those lesser beings understand the world around us." His eyes then moved to Phoebe, the corners of his beak pulling back in a smug grin. "As it turns out, your aims align with my own. I could certainly use the assistance on my noble quest."<br>
<br>
The grandiosity in his tone was evident as he continued, "I am, after all, on a mission of great importance. The pursuit of the White Bear of the North is no small feat, and having a mage such as yourself could be... beneficial." Despite his egotistical words, it was clear that Gyld was excited about the prospect of the journey ahead. The chance to further understand his bear nature and the world around him, while also being the center of attention, was an opportunity he relished.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">Languages: Common | [Terran]</span></b></span></span></b>​</div><hr><span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>"Oh, is that so? Well, that'd be perfect then! I'd feel bad about taking up too much of the Professor's time when you had business with him first, Gyld."</b></span> That was the pink haired mage's response when Professor Neco said that her quest could potentially tie in well with Gyld's business with the professor, but when she looked over to the owl bear, it seemed a bit... distant? Perhaps displeased or distressed, given the sounds the beastkin was making? She couldn't quite tell. Phoebe had pretty much no experience in reading the emotions of beastkin such as Gyld, him being the first non-humanoid beastkin she'd encountered since being reborn into this world. Even if she did, she couldn't exactly get a good view of his face right now, with only his beak being in her line of sight. Was it something she said? Unsure of what to do, she decided to not bother him further, lest she potentially makes things worse by prying into things that she shouldn't be.<br>
<br>
It seemed that Phoebe's decision to not say anything would be the right one as Gyld was brought back into the conversation by the Professor. Phoebe didn't pay too much mind to Gyld's usage of her first name as opposed to the Professor's usage of her surname, being used to the practice. It the owl-bear's next statement, however, that had Phoebe a little intrigued, as they were worded a bit interestingly to Phoebe. It sounded something akin to what a pastor would say to a church goer. <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>"I'm interested in seeing where this journey leads as well..."</b></span><br>
<br>
As the group entered the Professor's lab, Phoebe, ever the <b>[Bibliophile]</b>, was in awe with the sheer amount of literature the Professor had collected. <b><span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">"Oh, wow! This is quite the collection you have Professor!"</span></b> so when the Professor pulled out a notebook from one of the shelves and presented its contents to Gyld and herself, she listened very intently, taking in all the information about the amulet. <b><span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">"Fascinating..."</span></b> Phoebe whispered aloud to no one in particular. To think that a creature's eye could not only detect the presence of mana, but also differentiate the source? The mechanisms of magic in this world had always captivated Phoebe ever since she was reborn and the more she studied more mysteries seemed to emerge, each more puzzling and captivating than the last. This time is definitely no exception, with Phoebe growing more excited about her little research study by the second.<br>
<br>
Well, that comment from Gyld about lesser beings was a little strange, to say the least, after the Professor proposed her tagging along with them. Combined with the way Gyld was describing the quest they were going on, he seemed more like some sort of cult recruiter more than just an ordinary preacher, as was Phoebe's previous impression. In any case, cult follower or not, she'd rather not get on Gyld's bad side lest she be on the receiving end of his claws. At least Gyld agreed to let Phoebe join them, so that seemed like a good indicator that she wasn't.<b><span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"> "Right... well, I do have a couple of attack spells up my sleeve so I can definitely help you in that mission, just as long as the bear isn't too close." </span></b><span style="color: null">Phoebe was silent for a moment before speaking again, as if she'd just remembered something. </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>"Oh, and to answer your question about Ryken from earlier, Gyld, I'd say it would be more fitting to call it a commercial city more than anything, though it does have a magic academy."</b></span><span style="color: null"> She cleared her throat a bit before continuing. </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>"By the way, where are you from Gyld? I've never met a beastkin such as yourself before."</b></span></div>

So far everything was going according to plan. No one noticed her, and Orchid wasn't having any particularly difficult time keeping up with Victorique.  She was still with those other two folks, and Orchid's senses weren't nearly sharp enough for her to listen from afar, but so long as it doesn't look like any trouble was brewing Orchid can leave Victorique to take care of herself for now. Beyond the fact no one spotted her yet, Orchid didn't notice anything amiss or at least immediately dangerous, however as she was watching she did spot a familiar length of white hair. Now, white hair wasn't <i>too</i> uncommon in this world since Orchid has been alive, but she's pretty sure this was the same guy. But he was talking to some grey hood. Now this was sketchy. <br>
<br>
Orchid could make some assumptions, but without knowing the details she can't really just jump the gun and start throwing accusations. Maybe this grey hood was also investigating the murders. Or maybe they're the ones responsible for it. Either way Orchid can't really say until she gathers more info, but even she didn't want to test her luck trying to be so sneaky. Going beneath (or above) notice is one thing, but actively trying to sneak up on some folks who are intentionally trying to be stealthy, and thus likely are on alert for anyone spying on them, would not work in Orchid's favor. However Orchid also didn't want to lose the trail... Maybe it was time to let Victorique know she's here? But Orchid didn't want to reveal herself either: if she loses the element of surprise, her enemies could be able to counter her in a pinch.<br>
<br>
Ultimately Orchid opted to keep eyes on the white-haired noble and the grey cloak, not close enough to listen but close enough to watch them. See if they do anything like exchange a letter or something. Orchid could still see Victorique from her vantage point so unless the halfling finds a clue that takes her somewhere smaller and darker, Orchid ought to be able to keep track of both events. But for now, her focus was on the grey cloak. Orchid will see if she can't shadow him long enough to figure out where he's going, or at least what he looks like. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Damn, next time I get the points for it I ought to invest in a familiar. Someone who can do this sneaky shit without me...."</span></div>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/crop-jpg.1090017/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1027/1027147-dd24894ecc7f82a7319ffe3d22cc8746.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="crop.jpg" title="crop.jpg" width="100" height="204" loading="lazy"></a>​</div>Kane's less than friendly grin returned once more when Victorique reassured him that she in fact knew what she was doing. There was the fact that they didn't actually know for what reason he did the murder just that the evidence suggested that he committed it.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"I think you know that it's hard to say, but it wouldn't surprise me with some of the kinds of people in Rotia..Would be a bit harder to achieve than most can do with how the titles work and all..not that I know a ton about them, but to my understanding..it'd take some skill to make happen." </span>Kane replied matter of fact about her comment about how likely it was he could have been set up.He did try warning her in earnest, just because Kane was being loose lipped with his tongue didn't necessarily mean that Victorique was best following suit, Kane was in a rather unique position to say the least, he  also had a good idea of which were okay to talk to how he wanted and when, the fact that the family was currently under scrutiny gave more wiggle room but Kane's position and personality made him a bit more likely to take social risks, after all he was already near the bottom of the barrel, he didn't have a lot to loose and he knew that they needed people like him to do the dirty work so there was some leeway there.<br>
<br>
Instead of answering her directly for the rest of it Kane merely flashed  a dark grin in response to her chuckling and comment about him not being concerned about him ending up on the chopping block. There was much more there than he cared to or had time to get into.<br>
<br>
Eliza on the other hand appeared somewhat pleased at least that Victorique was being fair about her assessment that not all nobles were bad, even if Eliza had continued to not look the most pleased during the majority of Kane's rather pessimistic  dialogue about Rotia's elites<br>
---<br>
Back at the actual crime scene at hand, Kane listened to Victorique's revelations and was somewhat surprised with what she said, but he didn't show it on his face, as it had returned to it's usual default look.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"I didn't know you had the abilities of  a seer."</span> Kane said with a bit of a chuckle. <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"Sounds like there are quite a few possibilities then based on what you're saying. Can't say I know much about what you're talking, probably doesn't help that i couldn't see it or hear it.."</span><br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">Eliza</span></b><br>

<br>
<span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">"I don't know anyone who would truly want to do something like that to him, he hasn't done anything wrong..such a kind person too, the very idea of it just utterly repulses me.. and to answer your other question, just being at the very sight where something so terrible took place I can't help but wonder what happened and think about that poor child..but..I also just felt something..dark just now I'm...not sure what it was."</span><br>
<br>
She said sounding a bit emotional with that line, as she looked around the space once more.<br>
---<br>
Kane looked back at Victorique like she had two heads before he said <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"What? I'm perfectly fine, Not sure what you're getting at." </span>He said crossing his arms briefly, before bringing them back down to his sides, looking sort of like  he was posturing.<br>
<br>
Before he perked up a bit hearing Victorique bring up the possibility of seeing  Adriano.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"Yeah maybe I could arrange something like that. In the time I spent helping my father you get to know how things work around Rotia..I can lead you to him for a visit  but what's in it for me? Heck I can lead you to the entrance you need right now for free if you want to follow, but entering?  I'm not running a charity here, especially when everyone's on high alert..And you know I'm one of the only ones around here who'd even entertain the idea who has a chance they obviously won't let his family in."<br>
<br>
"Like I said..doesn't mater too much to me either way, I'd be extending this offer just cause..you interest me.." </span>Kane asked a bit of a grin forming once more.<br>

<br>
As the owl bear had looked around the room, it only became more apparent just how many books there were around them from notebooks, literature, science, magic, and nature books it really was like it's own private library of sorts dedicated to academia.<br>
<br>
Professor Neco smiled warmly at the owl bear as he reaffirmed that he would partake. <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Well then, it's only natural that someone with your pedigree would be interested in such a noble goal as uncovering how the nature of this land functions."</span> He said cheerily in response to Gyld. Not seemingly taking notice or if he did, at least  not reacting to Gyld's mood shift which had been developing only earlier which had been eased by the inclusion, even if his ears had twitched a bit at the 'humph'  sound which the [beast] had made.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"And of course as you say it's only even more fitting that someone so noble partakes in this great academic endeavor on both fronts..our goals are very much aligned, both exploring what's found in nature, isn't it all rather exciting?" </span>He continued to bring the positive vibes, Keeping the eye diagram open for now as he looked to the pair.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"You see Ms. Penrose, I've been having visions of him coming here, they run in the family..and I can attest that means there's something special coming in the future, I would take what he has to say with sincere thought..and think about the fact that there's a very likely chance that all of our paths are crossing for a reason so..I..appreciate both your willingness to share the aid which I can provide, just means that I'll need to gather more supplies than I originally thought which is fine, I have plenty in storage.." </span><br>
<br>
Professor Neco replied.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"We'll definitely be wanting more vials of that anti-venom as well, magic  as useful as it is and distance or not, you really do not want to suffer too many blows from the white bear which I've seen.."</span><br>
<br>
After mentioning that Professor Neco made his way over to a wooden trap door of sorts off to the side near one of the bookshelves and opened it up, revealing a space below with a wooden  ladder leading down into the wooden basement space which there appeared to be a lot of supplies stocked on shelves all packaged and labelled accordingly, sorted by a system which Professor Neco had picked, as the space automatically lit up revealing this once the door had been opened, perhaps some kind of magic at play in the building.<br>
<br>
He then paused and looked to the Phoebe, not going down yet at the mention of Ryken once more. <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Ah, yes! I've certainly heard of that place, but I must admit I'm not always the most versed in human settlements either, you see I originally come from the Republic. Given the place's currency is used al over the realm it doesn't surprise me that it's a commercial powerhouse as you mention."</span> He said.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Now then..if either of you would like to see what I have to offer,  of course I invite either of you to take  a look and pack anything you find of value on our journey, I have some bags which will let us carry goods with relative ease for the trip..they can also hold quite a bit more than they look while also reducing the weight..not that I think all three of us would have an issue with that anyway." </span>He said with a bit of a warm laugh, looking to Gyld, implying he was the physically strongest there which was more than likely true. Professor Neco motioned to a pile below of sacks which had strings on them so that they could be worn more like a back pack, at an initial glance their size looked modest.<br>
The supplies were varied from preserved rations, repellent, flint and steel,  ropes, binocular like instruments,  water skins, medical supplies, as well as cold resistant dark colored cloaks as well as a variety of other goods ideal for transversing the harsh climate that was the Rotian wilderness.<br>

Thankfully for Orchid she still had managed to go unnoticed for the time being with the method of trailing she had selected being far away. Granted there were some  closer calls as she progressed with occasionally some people looking inquisitively  up briefly as the roamed the streets  thinking perhaps they had seen something but then deciding to move onwards. Given the distance thankfully the hoods still hadn't noticed Orchid nor was there a good chance they would without some kind of magic.<br>
<br>
While this was transpiring and Orchid was reflecting upon the fact that she wished she had the points to invest in a familiar to take care of more of the stealth type work, she'd notice much closer to her now there were more grey hoods who were conjugating on the other side on the street closest to her in an alley way not all that far away from where she was, there was at least five of them who  suddenly appeared as if out of thin air toward the back of the alley way. Those who suddenly appeared in the dark more private space circled up and  began having a conversation in Terran with each other, their defining facial features obscured by their hooded cloaks.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(140, 129, 139)">"Her succession was unjust.."</span> One of the taller and lankier ones said with a decidedly male voice. <br>
<br>
A stouter one spoke up in response who had a deeper voice than the taller one , <span style="color: rgb(173, 158, 172)">"Yes..we all know that foul play was involved..but we're running out of time to act."</span> <br>
<br>
 A grey hood who was more average height also spoke up, but the voice was more feminine compared to the other two, <span style="color: rgb(110, 102, 109)">"But they have eyes everywhere, this place may not be secure as we speak.."</span> She said looking out from the dark corner which the group had gathered, toward the street where a sizable guard Mecha came thumping down it.<br>
<br>
The tall one replied, <span style="color: rgb(140, 129, 139)">"Well..It's not like we have much choice in the matter, today just happened to fall on one where the damned monsters were acting up.."</span><br>
<br>
The stout one followed up with, <span style="color: rgb(173, 158, 172)">"Well..we should meet up with Affonso soon, he'll be waiting to hear our reports.." </span> The others seemed to nod in agreement.<br>
<br>
Two of the other hoods seemed to stay quiet and listen to the conversation for the time being.<br>

She made a note of Kane's reply. This might be a set-up, but he sounded less convinced than she thought he might. That was peculiar. Then again, she was also glad she seemed to have bought Eliza back on board. Between having those two on board, stuff should work out. Hopefully.<br>
<br>
Kane's reply made her laugh. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“A seer? No, I'm nothing that fancy. I just like to check a crime-scene thoroughly. I can't let the past or future go unnoticed, although I wish I'd see more of it.”</b></span> She clicked her tongue. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I could describe it to you in more detail, if you want me to.”</b></span> She had an [Eidetic Memory] after all. She'd do so if he asked, otherwise she'd continue as usual.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Truthfully, that seems to be the likeliest option by far...”</b></span> An idea sprang to mind. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“If you're feeling brave, we could test it right here and now. You're Adriano's family. If it reacted to him, it might also react to you. You could go stand above those holes, we'll turn away for a bit. See if it gets to you. If it does, we'll know it was those things for sure. We'll just have to ensure you'd be unarmed and that we'd be able to get you away from those things before they'd make your murder someone as well... or if you think that's too risky, we should inform the guards that they might want to keep folk away from this area for now and assume those things got him.”</b></span><br>

Her other words made Victorique ponder. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Something dark...”</b></span> She snapped her finger. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Ah, perhaps a type of curse or dark magic? I wish I could sense those, but alas, I cannot. Do you have any magic or sixth senses to you that you might use or was it more like a gut feeling?”</b></span> She figured she'd double-check that part with Eliza. Would be a waste for her to have abilities like that only to never use them.<br>
<br>
The next bit of news was welcome. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Good, good.”</b></span> She murmured, before he came with his conditions. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“What would you want out of a thing like this? I could get you a lot, connections, fame, favours. I bet miss Eliza and her family would pay handsomely to help saving their brother. If it's curiosity, I can guarantee you that this will only become more and more interesting. If this case taught me anything, it's that this is definitely not a plain and simple murder. Heck, if you want, I bet we'd even be able to spin this tale so you could become the [Hero of Evergate]. How does that sound? I know these Hero titles don't mean a whole, as I became Hero of Norroburry after a single investigation, but it'd be nice for folk to be forced to admit you're a bit more worth of their respect and attention, no?” </b></span> She was using [Ultimate Argument] to sound convincing, but also to keep a close eye on his reactions to all she said. After all, she wanted to know which of her words managed to hit certain notes or not. What things he was interested in or not. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Anyhow, lead the way, I'd say.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She turned to Eliza. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“It'd probably be best if I don't walk in with you in tow, so they won't assume I'll just try to break him out. If you'd be willing to keep working on solving this, especially as I might want to cross-reference what he claims with you, would there be a place you'd be willing to wait on us?”</b></span> With that asked, she'd follow Kane to meet up with Adriano. <br>

Perhaps after we get back I could take a look at few books." </span></b>The conversation then took an interesting turn at the Professor's mention of his visions. <b><span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">"I see, well I'm very honored that you allowed me to join you in this excursion." </span></b>Phoebe usually wasn't one to believe in destiny given the relative mundaneness of her old world in comparison to this one, but what Professor Neco said about his visions did seem like it was a little more credible than the fortune tellers of her old world given magic actually existed. <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>"I'm curious, you said these visions run in your family Professor? Do you by chance come from a lineage of mages? Such a power does sound magical in nature."</b></span> Regardless of the Professor's answer to her question, Phoebe figured that she'd give the same benefit of the doubt she held for the Professor's visions to Gyld's visions of the White Bear. <br>
<br>
Speaking of the White Bear, that comment about anti-venom was slightly concerning. Phoebe didn't expect this hunt to exactly be a safe one, they are hunting a literal bear after all, but this is the first bear she's heard of that seems to be venomous. As Phoebe grabbed a sack to fill with her own supplies for the hunt, turned to the Professor and Gyld. <b><span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">"By the way, what kind of beast is this White Bear we're hunting? As I said before, the study of magical beasts in particular isn't something I have too much experience in."</span></b> She asked as she started grabbing a few essentials for a journey in the cold, grabbing a few rations, one of the cloaks and binoculars, as well as some medical supplies since she didn't know any healing magic yet. As for the flint and steel and water skin, she decided to leave the ones that the Professor had since she already had her own fire starting kit and water skin on her.</div>

"Oh?" Gyld perked up as Phoebe expressed interest him. He preened his feathers as he paused dramatically. "Do you know of the Eternal Glade? A portion of it touches upon the Republic's forest. You may join me there." He titled his head, arching an eyebrow, "I understand you have a tremendous curiosity in magic, and what is more magical than I?"<br>

Gyld could barely contain his excitement as he watched the preparations unfolding. The human talk was a bit tedious for him, and he was more than eager to venture out into the wild and face the challenges that awaited them. He paced restlessly, his massive paws leaving slight imprints on the floor, his feathers slightly fluffed with anticipation.<br>
<br>
"White bear, venom, cold, and danger, what more could we ask for?" Gyld rumbled, his voice low and vibrant with contained energy. "Let's go, and I will lead. My claws, my domain, they long for the thrill of the hunt."<br>

			After mentioning that Professor Neco made his way over to a wooden trap door of sorts off to the side near one of the bookshelves and opened it up, revealing a space below with a wooden ladder leading down into the wooden basement space which there appeared to be a lot of supplies stocked on shelves all packaged and labelled accordingly, sorted by a system which Professor Neco had picked, as the space automatically lit up revealing this once the door had been opened, perhaps some kind of magic at play in the building.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Now then..if either of you would like to see what I have to offer, of course I invite either of you to take a look and pack anything you find of value on our journey, I have some bags which will let us carry goods with relative ease for the trip..they can also hold quite a bit more than they look while also reducing the weight..not that I think all three of us would have an issue with that anyway." </span>He said with a bit of a warm laugh, looking to Gyld, implying he was the physically strongest there which was more than likely true. Professor Neco motioned to a pile below of sacks which had strings on them so that they could be worn more like a back pack, at an initial glance their size looked modest.<br>
The supplies were varied from preserved rations, repellent, flint and steel, ropes, binocular like instruments, water skins, medical supplies, as well as cold resistant dark colored cloaks as well as a variety of other goods ideal for transversing the harsh climate that was the Rotian wilderness.

</blockquote><br>
He looked down into the basement through the trapdoor. It was rather small for his current form. Dark green energy slithered out from Gyld's body, contorting his form, restructuring it into a creature more akin to the avian elements of his nature. The air around him began to shimmer with a verdant radiance, the aura of his Domain, the Eternal Glade, becoming palpable. The energy reflected the timeless essence of the forest - an ever-present witness to the cycles of life and death, the ebb and flow of nature itself.<br>
<br>
His form started to compact, shrinking as the energy folded around him. His thick bear-like hindquarters started to reduce, morphing seamlessly into the sleeker form of a bird. The thick fur receded, giving way to an array of soft, brown feathers. His massive claws retracted, replaced by the delicate, yet strong talons of an owl. The transformation was swift yet fluid, a testament to the magic of the Eternal Glade and Gyld's command over it.<br>
<br>
His upper body shifted next, the bearish aspect dissolving into a sleek, feathered form. The change was not drastic as the owl was always prominent in his upper half, yet it was noticeable as the bear's strength was replaced by the owl's agility and grace.<br>
<br>
His wide, penetrating owl eyes stayed the same, still reflecting the same wisdom and intelligence. The size changed, of course, to accommodate his new, smaller form, but the keen gaze was just as intense. His beak became sharper, the rugged charm of the owlbear replaced by the refined elegance of the owl.<br>
<br>
The dark green energy pulsed around him, flowing like a magical river, carrying the essence of the wild, of the forest, and of the creatures inhabiting it. The power of the Eternal Glade was visible in his transformation, reflecting Gyld's deep connection with the wild and its forces.<br>
<br>
With a final surge of energy, the transformation was complete. Where the formidable owlbear once stood, now perched a majestic owl, an embodiment of grace and wisdom, radiating a primal energy that was both serene and powerful. Gyld's eyes glowed, a silent affirmation of his successful transformation. Despite his reduced form, he still commanded respect, his presence a testament to his strength and authority. As he spread his wings, ready to take flight, he looked every bit as magnificent and awe-inspiring as he did in his original form.<br>
<br>
Smaller now, he leaped down through the trapdoor and into the basement. His eyes gleamed like burnished amber at the pile of sacks. With a few jumps he isolated a pair of sacks. "And those, I can carry if needed. Although I'm strong and ready for any challenge, a few more supplies are fine as well."<br>
<br>
He paused, his beak swiveling to scent at the various food stuffs. "But the most important stuff I shall carry with me." He hooted once before his jaws unhinged like a snakes and he shoved a weeks worth of food into his mouth in a matter of minutes. Handfuls of dried meat and berries, oats and bacon, all of it went down his gullet [<i>Devour F]</i>.<br>
<br>
Inspecting the other items, he talked to himself as he was want to do, "Fur I've got, and fire is the tool of man not of the forest. Best to avoid that."<br>
<br>
His attention then turned to Phoebe as she asked about the white bear. Gyld paused for a moment, scratching his owl head thoughtfully. "White bear... Frosty creature, lives in the cold, strong and dangerous. Venomous, yes, that's a twist. But I've dealt with venom before, not a problem for an Owlbear," he stated confidently.<br>
<br>
Having said that, he dumped medical supplies into one pouch, anti-venom, salves, and other such items. He had no particular skill in healing, so his selection was more based upon what looked or smelled interesting. The other sack he shoved a bunch of the dark colored cloaks. "These could make for a nice nest!" <br>
<br>
With that, he stretched out his wings, a majestic sight that briefly eclipsed the light from several of the magical scones. His muscles rippled under his feathers and fur, and he leapt back up and out of the basement. Once more in the open space of the main floor, his body rippled again with dark green energy as his form expanded back into his native owlbear form. His gaze once again fell on the entrance of the hut, a silent statement of his eagerness to venture out and start their mission.<br>
<br>
Then he grew impatient and added, "We should move now," he finally said, casting an expectant glance towards Professor Neco and Phoebe. "The day fades, and a cold trail only favors our prey!"<br>

Keeping on eye from her spot from above, Orchid did notice some more of those greyhoods around. Could be coincidence, or maybe this was a cult? Orchid wished she could eaves drop on them, but they were speaking a language she didn't recognize. Not Common at least, and doesn't sound anything close to orcish, maybe some native language? She's pretty sure they said a name though, so if she hears it again maybe she can pin the name to a face. Still, this was surely no coincidence. While Victorique seemed to be going somewhere, Orchid felt that she ought to investigate this lead for a bit. While she may not be able to glean any worthwhile information if everyone is going to be talking in this foreign tongue, maybe they'll lead Orchid to a hide out or something. If nothing else the fact the white-haired noble is consorting with these folks is something worth looking into, and probably something Victorique would want to know. So for now, Orchid stayed as hidden as she could, tracking the greycloaks and this noble guy to whatever clandestine location they were skulking off to. Hopefully none of them would consider looking up anytime soon, but in case they do get wise Orchid tried to keep in mind any other locations she could possible escape to. Worse comes to worse, she'll just throw herself over the city walls as a quick escape.<br>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/crop-1-jpg.1092174/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1029/1029304-dd24894ecc7f82a7319ffe3d22cc8746.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="crop-1.jpg" title="crop-1.jpg" width="100" height="204" loading="lazy"></a>​</div>Kane didn't particularly react one way or another with her response to his seer comment. However he was having a hard time holding back a dark chuckle once again at her next suggestion, that Eliza disarm herself and stand directly in the way of the holes.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"You're giving someone like her way too much credit, as if a noble like her who grew up with a golden spoon in her mouth would risk her life!" </span>Kane said as if the whole idea sounded preposterous to him.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"The last part of what you said makes a lot more sense to me." </span>He said in a more relaxed tone, after the fact, as he looked between Eliza and Victorique.. While Kane was spouting this arguably biased assessment  based on his presumptions, Eliza had an indignant pout which had developed on her face during the course of what he said, that had changed from her face of slight surprise at Victorique's suggestion.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">Eliza</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/screenshot-2023-05-02-at-9-34-13-pm-1-1-png.1092179/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1029/1029309-0634ead0c41456b05fdea6d5765854f9.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 9.34.13 PM-1-1.png" title="Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 9.34.13 PM-1-1.png" width="100" height="109" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">"I wouldn't expect someone so low class and dirty to understand how deep the bond of a Talton goes."</span> She said to Kane with a tone of  contempt. <span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">"Of course I'll do it.."</span><br>
Eliza then reached out and pulled out what appeared to be a blue gem amulet of sorts which she offered over to Victorique. "Here then it won't sense I'm armed.." She replied matter of fact, giving a side eye to Kane.<br>
<br>
<br>
Kane actually looked a bit astonished at this development. <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"Woah,  you really don't have too I mean..we don't know what that thing is capable of. We really could just tell the guards it'd be a lot saf-"</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">"Oh Zip it, the only reason I'm even tolerating you is because your helping my brother, I don't need a lecture from someone like you on what I should and should not do."</span> She replied shortly. Despite this Eliza wouldn't move just yet, as she turned to Victorique,<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">"To answer your questions I can sense high concentrations of mana, and whatever I felt earlier  as I said felt dark. Dark and heavy. I can sense a  faint remnant of it even now. "<br>
<br>
"With all of that said,  naturally I'd be willing to do something like that even if it's for someone like him  if we're successful in saving my brother..and what he says is true..I'll even go farther with the favor and  try to convince Alfy to leave you alone if he starts talking about raising further issues with the way you've disrespected us. You'd have my word as a Talton." </span>She said looking to Kane not sounding particularly hostile like before but also not friendly, it was rather cold.<br>
<br>
Then it was back to Kane with Victorique's response to what he had to say. Victorique's ability gave her insight to the fact that Kane appeared intrigued by what she had to say, a bit more during the connections and hero  part than the other stuff she said with the way he perked up, thanks to her appraisal and their proximity she'd see details like his name and grade as well as titles. Not a ton too him yet, the lack of an executioner title showing that this was first day doing it alone as he said.<br>
<br>
A bit of a grin returned to his face,<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"Look, money fame, being a hero, that's all nice and all, but being real Victorique, the way I see it is with what I'm given. Who honestly thinks someone like me could actually be a hero even if I wanted too? Working in Rotia I'll probably live until I'm 30 if I'm lucky."  </span>It was hard to discern if he was being serious or telling a dark joke with the later line.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"But there is something that I did notice that I really wouldn't mind having that I don't think my dad or hell even his dad ever had, If I'm going to help you further with your investigation Victorique, then what I want...is your friendship." </span>He'd proclaim.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"And I'm telling you right now, it'll be no easy task especially around these parts..But I'm not  offering my first friend spot to just anybody I can tell you that much, so what do you say?"</span><br>
<br>
Eliza promptly looked at Kane like he had two heads upon hearing that request. Just before the pair left Eliza would walk over just where the. small holes faced, and a slight movement could be heard under ground by those with advanced hearing, very similar to what Victorique had picked up on at the crime scene earlier with the strands.<br>
<br>
After this transpired Eliza made her way away from the holes as she could. feel something was wrong, she'd make her way back over to Victorique and took her amulet back.<br>
<br>
"I felt it again it was stronger this time...Yes I'll be waiting in the square, and I'll tell the proper authorities about this being a potentially dangerous area... think it'd be best if we all cleared out of here for now. " She said sounding serious once again, as she made her way away presuming that Victorique was going to follow Kane.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"See you later then. </span>He said to Eliza.<br>
---<br>
Kane led Victorique through a series of streets until they made their way close to the barracks, since nearby that's where the dungeons were, near the actual fort and jutting off of it was an entrance to the area which he knew that Victorique needed access too. He wouldn't say too much unless she decided to speak to him, every now and again looking over to her as if to make sure she was actually following before continuing.<br>

<br>
Kane spoke up, <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"Your Lady wanted me to come here since she wouldn't be permitted herself. I want to see if the guy is dressed properly for today's show, believe me I've been here before with my dad to take care of business and I know what a sloppy job they can do all the way out here."</span><br>
<br>
He then gestured to Victorique, <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"And this is my assistant, she's learning the ins and outs of the craft  you see, figured I could show her how it's done if you get what I'm saying.."</span><br>
<br>
The guard looked back..before he carefully nodded, <span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I think I do understand what you're saying.." </span>Despite Kane's words not holding any deception it looked like the guard might be inclined to help them out, there could have been any reasons why he had been stationed there, there was an indication that he had the key nevertheless.<br>

<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">Professor Neco</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/screenshot-2023-05-02-at-11-31-35-pm-1-1-png.1092458/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1029/1029588-f36e4a40f0d1169d7c47d39cedc59c56.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 11.31.35 PM-1-1.png" title="Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 11.31.35 PM-1-1.png" width="100" height="149" loading="lazy"></a>​</div>Professor Neco seemingly smiled warmly once more at Phoebe's comment about being honored, his ear twitched a bit by reflex when she asked about the visions. "<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">Why yes, they do run in my family, as I was saying before you arrived, we believe the chances grow around the third life, you see, however I wouldn't say that they're all mages, we've certainly had some, but overall whether it magic, fate, or hereditary, I've yet to see one be incorrect."</span> He reassured her.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Hm yes, I think that briefing you further would be of value on the topic of the bear, what knowledge has been gathered about it thus far is that it's stature is quite impressive and weighty, they are quite physically strong, their thick coat helps protect their vitals from harm. They also appear to have a natural cold resistance, they have been reported to be naturally resistant against magic involving ice or cold temperatures..."</span><br>
<br>
The good professor paused momentarily and  looked  pleasantly surprised when he looked over to see just how capable Gyld was of transforming his state for something which was more acceptable for the space.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Well that's certainly an impressive  shifting ability too, I cannot say I've met too many who can do similar."<br>
<br>
"The venom I speak of, while I believe it's perfectly possible you have a natural  resistance."</span> He said looking to Gyld briefly, he then looked back to Phoebe, <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"For you and me in particular it is something to be avoided. It's a nasty venom indeed, it's incredibly cold and freezes the target from the wound site outward depending on how serious the injury is. Being bitten is the worst case scenario as not only are their jaws powerful but the venom is the most potent in that area."</span> Professor Neco clarified  with that.<br>
<br>
Professor Neco then supplemented his plain 'backpack' with a few more goods before he was all set to go taking in mind with what the others had taken already.  He smiled once again when he saw Gyld swallow such a large supply of goods, as it as almost humorous but he didn't express it that way, instead the smile just looking friendly if anything.<br>
<br>
 What was particularly different however was when he put an amber amulet on, a Solaris gem which radiated a heat, that helped keep the body warm and circulating well, something which would prove to be very valuable in the climate they were going to head into. He procured two more offering one to Gyld and one to Phoebe.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Keeping one of these close will help stave the cold off further."<br>
<br>
"Regardless I think you are correct we should get a move on, the sooner we find this white bear the better." </span>Professor Neco then made his way back out of the basement and after the others had finished up, he'd wait to see if anyone needed to do anything else before they got going, and presuming that wasn't the case, he'd gesture for them to follow  after him heading out of the building back onto the street making a beeline for the main street so that they could exit through the main entrance.<br>
<br>
As Professor Neco made his way out and turned to talked he said,<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Unfortunately where we'll be heading it'll be difficult to make use of the portals in any meaningful way, they'll take us too far away from where we'll need to be, thankfully It shouldn't be unbearably long by foot to get the coast near where some of their grounds lie before it gets too dark. We're all more than capable at combat if need be, and we have the supplies."</span><br>
<br>
As the group made it to the exit, after another large mecha thudded past them, they were met with the portal off to one side not far away  from the  entrance once more and some general pathways which had been designated going off into the snowy landscape that was the wilderness between settlements  of Rotia, further cementing the idea that they were far out.<br>
<br>
The professor would start walking toward the most eastern path, past the guards and portal. <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Of course we'll be assuming quite a bit of personal risk, the farther we go out the less likely we are to run into help, but I'm certain you both already knew that; I'm simply reiterating. I'm certain we'll be fine If anything my vision was quite reassuring of our safety for the journey there."</span><br>

For the time being none of the hoods had any particular reason to actually look up, which was still fortunate for Orchid. Perhaps it was possible she could get her hands on one of their cloaks and see what was up, it was pretty clear it was pretty difficult to tell whoever was wearing them apart, what was to say they even all knew one another' s faces? At a minimum they knew Affonso's name at the very least.<br>
<br>
One out of the two who hadn't spoke before , this one  also appeared to be of a pretty average height and build, however a bit taller than the one with the feminine voice said, this time in  common but in a masculine voice, <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"Are you sure we should be sticking our necks out for Affonso like this? I mean he might know that the gods look favorably upon us..but.."</span><br>
<br>
The stouter one looked back and responded in Terran, however Orchid could tell from the stout ones voice tone and gestures that he was displeased with this suggestion. <span style="color: rgb(173, 158, 172)">"What do you mean? But what? Have you no faith in what we are doing here? We're fighting against injustice."</span><br>
<br>
Some of the other hooded figures seemed to nod in agreement with the sentiment.<br>
<br>
The average one responded in common again, <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"Yes I know, but you do understand what'll happen if we get caught right?.."</span><br>
<br>
The Tall one butted in, speaking Terran again,<span style="color: rgb(140, 129, 139)"> "Of course we do, I hope you aren't suggesting that you're getting cold feet.." </span>Orchid could tell this tone almost had a menacing sound to it.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">"O-Of course not. Right..then lets get a move on."</span> The  average one spoke in common again with a bit of a nervous tone.<br>
<br>
Not long after that the group was on the move again. From Orchid's position she could see that Affonso and the other hood were on the move too, and thankfully the group she had been tailing was still staying close the buildings in the darkness, after quite a bit of trailing time had passed with them moving, for some reason; it seemed people passing by didn't even notice they were there, the group of cloaks arrived in front of some fairly large stone statue of a mecha that looked very similar to the type which was guarding the gate, with an inscription in Terran that Orchid naturally could not read. The way it was presented made it seem heroic, probably some hero monument.<br>
<br>
Suddenly the stout one placed their hand on the side of the statue, and a strange blue rune appeared on the statue base that Orchid could see, small sparks of mana energy spewing out, and suddenly all of the hooded figures vanished, as if they had been taken somewhere. It was as if they hadn't been there at all.<br>

So far so good, no one realized Orchid was trailing the gray hoods and some were talking in a language she actually understood. Granted she only knew one side of the conversation, but it was better than nothing. Something about this "Affonso" person, who Orchid guessed was either the white-haired noble from before, or maybe the one that was accused of murder. Said noble also seemed to be converging with the group, so Orchid made sure to follow. She figured they would head further into the alley, or maybe into one of the buildings, but instead they go to some sort of big stone statue. Again, Orchid figured this was just a meeting spot, but instead the gray cloaks vanished after one of them touched a part of the statue and the whole group vanished. No one seemed to notice except Orchid, making her wonder if this was normal or not.<br>
<br>
This was well beyond what Orchid was capable of. Sure, she could try to figure something out, maybe take some etchings or recordings, but ultimately she'd just be gathering clues she wouldn't understand. It was time for Orchid to find Victorique and report what she's found out. But before she does, Orchid takes take out her journal and make some notes about the location, what she overheard, and what she saw. She tries her best to keep the speculations short: she didn't want to jump to the wrong conclusion after all.<br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Stone Statue Mech, some language I don't understand, magic blue circle? Affonse was mentioned. Gray Cloaks are covering for him for some reason. They're favored by the gods, clerics? White-haired Noble Boy with Gray Cloaks. 5 cloaks in an alley, 1 with the noble. Vanished at the statue."</span></i><br>
<br>
Orchid finishes by making a rough map of the area based off the landmarks and general shape of the area: she doesn't intend to go through the alleys and continue roof hopping, and hopefully once she finds Victorique she'll be able to follow. Speaking of the halfling, Orchid lost track of her. She vaguely remembers seeing her leave the wall, but has little idea where she went. Chances are however she's following up on her investigation so maybe she found a clue as well. Or maybe she went to talk to witnesses. Orchid tried to think who she could be asking for. From what Daphe had told her, the white-haired girl was a noble, Talon or Talton, Orchid didn't quite remember. The one with the axe was a local executioner. Chances are both would know where the accused murderer is, but there's also a possibility that Victorique went to talk to the family of the victim... If the kid had a family, which just makes Orchid wonder more about why she hasn't heard much more about the victim.<br>
<br>
She couldn't explain why, but it just felt somehow <i>wrong</i> that no one was giving any information about who was killed. Maybe it's just because Orchid still remembers her past life and how modern news media tends to highlight the actions of the killer, but Dafne didn't even tell Orchid if the kid was a boy or a girl. An orphan, a peasant, or another noble. Just a <i>kid</i>, which reeks of an easy heart-tugging tragedy to frame someone. Maybe Victorique picked up on this as well and wanted to look more into it. Especially if this was a conspiracy and maybe the kid isn't even dead: maybe they were actually a halfling like Victorique is and people just assumed she was a child. Either way, Orchid decided that she was going to investigate the victim's family.<br>
<br>
So first thing's first, she needed to gather some information. Getting back to the scene of the murder, Orchid would sneak back to the ground level and casually talk to some locals about what had happened, specifically trying to find out more about the victim. She decided she'll play up the hero angle here: she wants to find the family and offer her condolences, relying on her [<b>Gregarious</b>] nature and natural <i>Persuasion (E) </i>for folks to believe her. She also tries to find any about any gray cloaks if folks have information to offer: Orchid would claim that others have told her rumors about seeing folks with face obscuring gray cloaks in the area, so hopefully someone would know who they are. Either a secretive cult or maybe an actual organization here that Orchid just never met yet. Finally, she asks if anyone has seen the Executioner or the Talton girl nearby, having questions for them. But what It she really wanted was to track Victorique down, since those two where last seen with her.<br>
<br>
<b>[Gregarious]</b> - Whether the character is among enemies or allies, they seem to know what to say or do that lets them thrive in the situation. A story or apt compliment, the character can make a good situation more fun or a bad situation more agreeable.</div>

<br>
<b>Languages:</b> Common | &lt;Beastial&gt; | [Terran] | {Sylvan} <br>
<br>
Lots of surprises followed, one after another. For one, just how eager Kane was to make enemies with Eliza. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Oh come on, she's been nice thus far.”</b></span> She replied, a bit annoyed at how much he was pushing this. It felt redundant. That, and she'd taken a liking to Eliza. That grew when she heard the girl's reaction. Perhaps Kane had been on the right track after all, luring out this reaction from Eliza. Even so, she sighed, being a bit annoyed by Eliza as well. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I commend you on your bravery, but let's keep the classicism out of it. I've never been a fan.”</b></span> She commented, as she took the blue gem amulet and appraised it (Ultimate Detective C / Appraisal C) to figure out what it was. Curiosity killed the halfling, perhaps, but it was an instinct by now. <br>
<br>
To her surprise, Kane actually respected the effort as well. She nodded at Eliza's sense of mana, that was good information. Still, it was a shame it came from such a biased source. Eliza's testimony would mean next to nothing to help her brother. She also sighed at Eliza's words. Man, this classicism was annoying. She was nice, but clearly she'd grown up with a stick up her ass. <br>
<br>
Kane was more interesting, in that regard. A plain human, nothing too strong. Still hadn't even gotten the proper title for this job yet. That said, his words were where her real interest was directed towards. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Bloody hell, that's an annoyingly bleak outlook. If you're convinced of something that stupid, you're sure to live up to it. I'm a tiny halfling woman with a smoking addiction and here I am challenging folk left and right by investigating stuff, gods and whatnot included, and I'm somehow still going and managing to become a hero of certain places. Trust me, if I can do it, you can too. Just get out of here if you want to live long and do something meaningful.”</b></span> She didn't sound all that encouraging as much as she sounded annoyed at how flawed his reasoning was. Hence she'd use [Ultimate Argument C] to prove him wrong. <br>
<br>
She fell silent upon his request, being silent for a fair while. Waiting for him to laugh like he'd told a funny joke. He didn't. Instead, he doubled down on it. She chuckled. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You're a fun guy. That's such a surprisingly wholesome request. Although I do feel a bit insulted...”</b></span> She'd pause a bit on purpose. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“... that you would still think that I'd shy away from something due to it not being easy. I strolled through the Underbelly, met some Undead King and challenged whatever gods or rulers give titles. You'd think making one slightly troublesome, but fun and interesting sounding dude a friend of mine would be too much for me? I'd say bring it on. Just know that I don't tend to be any less moody towards my friends.”</b></span> She spoke the last sentence partially as a tease, partially as a threat. <br>
<br>
That's when she was distracted by Eliza. She'd immediately use [Ultimate Future Detective] on what might happen, in case she should warn Eliza, followed by a normal Ultimate Detective to keep up with what was going on and finished off with Ultimate Past Detective to spot things she might've missed the first time around... but not much happened. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Thanks for confirming it for us and yeah, make sure to inform them. Not just for their and the people's sakes, but also to lend a bit more credibility to the claim later down the line.”</b></span> She replied, although she was a bit disappointed. She'd wanted her to get taken over altogether to see what'd happen. It's a shame Rachael or Orchid weren't here right now, otherwise she'd try to get taken by that magic herself and just have Rachael or Orchid stop her. <br>
<br>
Wait... where did Orchid go? Hadn't she been tailing her for a bit? She clicked her tongue. That might be annoying later down the line. Well, for now, she'd still have Kane. On the topic of Kane, he brought her to the Dungeon. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“What a cosy place. I feel right back at home like in the Underbelly.”</b></span> She'd jest, although she did sound surprisingly comfortable with these type of places. <br>
<br>
She'd let Kane do the talking to the guards. Not a lot she had to say there. Except... his argument was horrible. That said, she figured she could join in on the joke. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Indeed, I'm eager to learn from the best and can't wait to see some action~ The blood splattering onto walls and ceilings, desperate mumbling and groaning, grown folk crying their eyes out in fear, soiling themselves in public~ It's all some great stuff that I'm eager to get my hands on. It's amazing to look down onto the head of someone as it's been neatly chopped off, a good turn-around of the usual! Ah, I can't wait to see who's next~”</b></span> She added, using [Ultimate Argument] again and adding some flair with [Bulvark's Touch]. <br>
<br>
With that joke gone, however, it was time to get serious. She'd need to figure out what this man wanted. Money? Promises? Was he actually on Adriano's side? Was he just lazy? There were enough options, but she figured she'd be able to boil them down if she'd used [Ultimate Detective] with is Appraisal on the guard. She'd have this case cracked in no-time. <br>

[Bulvark's Touch] - Due to your interaction with the First Tyrant, Ryke Bulvark, you emit an aura of dominance to any that you talk to. Whoever you interact with will feel like they are talking to a giant, to an intimidating figure. Echoes of Bulvark's twisted laugh can be heard by the character and those speaking to the character. Great for interactions.</div>

"Amazing, isn't it?" Gyld's golden eyes twinkled with satisfaction at Phoebe's awe. "We of the Eternal Glade hold transformation as our birthright, it's part of our harmony with the Circle. Some say beyond the Circle there is a greater mystery." His voice conveyed a calm excitement and an attempt at perhaps sounding mystical and pendantic, still there was a genuine the thrill of sharing a piece of his world mixed amongst the deep seated desire for people to worship him.<br>

"Indeed, it will be a challenge worthy of our combined strength." Gyld's voice was rich with anticipation. His gaze turned toward the horizon (albeit hidden by the inside wall), imagining the grand hunt to come. "The White Bear's Icy  Might... this will be a clash of titans! Perhaps we should find a bard or someone who could turn this into an epic."<br>

He said looking to Gyld briefly, he then looked back to Phoebe, "For you and me in particular it is something to be avoided. It's a nasty venom indeed, it's incredibly cold and freezes the target from the wound site outward depending on how serious the injury is. Being bitten is the worst case scenario as not only are their jaws powerful but the venom is the most potent in that area." Professor Neco clarified with that.

"Excellent," Gyld said, accepting the gem with a nod of appreciation. "I do welcome gifts freely given and donations offered to myself. Even if it will be unnecessary for me, I shall wear it as a token of our relationship."

"Agreed, Professor," Gyld replied, fluffing his feathers in preparation. "There's no time like the present. The white bear awaits us, and I'm eager to eat-" He paused, eyes glancing around to see if anyone noticed, "Meet this formidable creature."<br>

We're all more than capable at combat if need be, and we have the supplies."<br>
<br>
As the group made it to the exit, after another large mecha thudded past them, they were met with the portal off to one side not far away from the entrance once more and some general pathways which had been designated going off into the snowy landscape that was the wilderness between settlements of Rotia, further cementing the idea that they were far out.<br>
<br>
The professor would start walking toward the most eastern path, past the guards and portal. "Of course we'll be assuming quite a bit of personal risk, the farther we go out the less likely we are to run into help, but I'm certain you both already knew that; I'm simply reiterating. I'm certain we'll be fine If anything my vision was quite reassuring of our safety for the journey there."

The golden hue of Gyld's eyes sparked with a sense of adventure as they surveyed the snowy landscape stretching out before them. Gyld couldn't help to contain his excitement, his hind quarters bunched and he leapt 30 feet into the air several times like a dog excitedly jumping to catch a ball [Jump F]. His feathers fluffed slightly in the chill of the air, the amber amulet around his back paw glowing warmly against his fur. His stance was all excitement, poised and ready to face the wilderness with an unyielding spirit.<br>
<br>
"Risk is part of the thrill," Gyld responded, his voice carried a hint of the green energy of the Eternal Glade manipulating the air to create an an echo of the wild winds rustling through the distant trees [Domain: Eternal Glade -&gt; Control Environment F]. He turned to face Professor Neco and Phoebe, the excitement in his eyes undeniable. "With you two at my side, I have no doubt we'll face whatever comes our way. Let's set forth into the wild."<br>
<br>
With that, he stretched out, the dark green energy of the Eternal Glade shimmering around him momentarily further manipulating the environment to add artistry to the pose he was striking. His massive back paws crunched the fresh snow beneath them while his forearms tore at the snow with his owl talons as he moved towards the eastern path. His large frame seemed to dance naturally with the wilderness, as he wove himself into and around the landscape itself.<br>
<br>
His golden gaze locked onto the path ahead, Gyld led the way with confidence -- even though he didn't really know where he was going that had never stopped him before -- his steps certain and unfaltering. Every fiber of his being hummed with anticipation, an eager, restless energy coursing through his veins. This was his domain, the wild, and the prospect of the hunt was invigorating. The thrill of the unknown, the promise of a worthy challenge... it was a call he would never resist.<br>
<br>
"Come!" he called back to his companions, leaping and bounding about, catching some of the lower roofs and awning, clinging for a moment before dropping back down to the snowy ground, his voice a deep rumble that echoed through the last of the town's streets. He paused looking out at the horizon and the silent snowy expanse. "The Eternal White awaits us! Let us hunt it's champion, rip it's still beating heart from it's chest, and devour of the White Bear all it's power in a bloody rite of passage!!!"</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Thankfully Orchid was able to navigate the roofs once again without there being issues until she was on ground level again. By asking around locals were able to direct Orchid to the site of the murder. And by the time she got back to the actual crime scene she was met by a guard who looked at her curiously he was wielding a spear. Out of all the locals only one claimed to know what the murdered child was  named, Kris Brimly, apparently. Other details were pretty scarce on that front of things given how some didn't even seem to know what the child's name was, perhaps there was something larger at play there.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)"><b>Crime Scene Guard</b></span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/download-1-jpg.1094176/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1031/1031306-694b314039f7d16cd37f8415520d258f.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="download-1.jpg" title="download-1.jpg" width="100" height="153" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
<span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">"Can't say I've seen too many of your kind around here, but I must warn you this site is still an active danger zone, so I must insist you keep a safe distance, possible hostile magic or monster activity based on what we heard." </span> The guard said , gesturing to the small holes in the ground.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">"Condolences for the family you say? I'm sure they'd still appreciate it, the mother's been rather upset. They live in town near the walls, I'm not permitted to leave my post here, but I'm sure one of the locals could show you the way there and if they aren't there then I'd try the center out, some people will be gathering there for todays executions, including some of the victim's family members." </span><br>
<br>
He paused for a moment when she got to the  grey cloak bit, and he looked curiously at her. <span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">"Now that you mention it I have heard some people talking about cloaked in grey  figures walking about, but no one's been able to confirm them and even then it didn't sound like they were up to anything particularly interesting, standing around and talking is hardly a crime,  could be some kind of adventurer guild moving through."</span> He said with a shrug. That at least confirmed to Orchid that these hoods probably were not a usual sighting in this area.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">"Not sure why you'd want to talk to the Executioner, but last I heard he was waiting in the town center, given the event that's going on today it'd only make sense, but even then lad's been a bit early..and a Talton? You must be talking about Eliza, I actually just saw her not that long ago! She's the one who told me about this whole mess over here, you see it's her brother whose been accused of murdering the child, really dreadful stuff..if you want to talk to her I'd also recommend checking out the square as I'm certain she'll be waiting for the execution to take place as well."</span> The man said.<br>
<br>
It did seem that Orchid's Gregariousness and her persuasion was working to her advantage here with the information she was able to get at least and if she heeded the guard's advice and went to the central square, Eliza and  locals of the are who might be willing to help her further were in view gathering.<br>

While Kane gave a bit of a non verbal scoff at Victorique's comment, Eliza didn't seem super outwardly reactive to  Victorique's comment about her activity, Even so it was apparent that they had both heard her loud and clear. Meanwhile  Victorique's appraisal would inform her  that's Eliza's blue gem amulet was a  a C Grade catalyst<br>
which appeared to have been enchanted with regeneration.<br>
<br>
Victorique's follow up statement about his reasoning being ridiculous did cause him to pause for a moment and hear her speak on it. He ultimate argument wasn't lost on him given it's grade and use as it looked like he was self reflecting on what she said, his expression shifting to one of contemplation. No one had ever really said anything like that about him. Granted it wasn't like he got to talk to many people around here. Even then him holding his executioner title wasn't going to hold  him favors in other places that didn't typically do the death penalty either..But Kane had been training his whole life for this task, it wasn't like he had chosen it out of a passion, he had inherited it from his father, and he had learned from his father how to carry it out. What else was there for him to do? Someone had to kill these guys and if it wasn't him it'd be someone else burdened with it. So for now he didn't respond to it directly but it did open up the possibility in his mind that perhaps there was some merit to what she had been saying in actuality.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">Kane Blackburne</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/crop-1-1-jpg.1094177/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1031/1031307-dd24894ecc7f82a7319ffe3d22cc8746.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="crop-1-1.jpg" title="crop-1-1.jpg" width="100" height="204" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
He did however give a grin when she gave her follow up to his request. <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"So you accept then?  Great to hear. Didn't mean to offend ya too much,  I'm sure you've done all the stuff you're talking about part of what makes you interesting, least I can say i've had one before  I hit the bricks permanently, but lets try to make some real memories hm? That'd be nice. I wouldn't expect it any other way." </span>He said to her his tone lightening up a bit compared to before, the later part referring to her saying that she wasn't any less moody with friends. In the back of his mind he couldn't help but think that this request felt a bit selfish, he knew very well that if she genuinely befriended him it might make her operations in Rotia more difficult..nevertheless for now he was content with what he received, feeling kind of nice that part of what she said had sort of been complimentary.<br>
<br>
As far as Eliza was she replied, <span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">"Of course."</span> Indeed while It was the best for victorique's case for gathering information on whatever this was, since her abilities at best just revealed that the white strands were still gradually moving around underground as far as all of their safety went it was definitely better that one of them hadn't been outright attacked by whatever was there.<br>
<br>
Back to where the pair had gone to the dungeons, Kane was intrigued by her comment, that underbelly sure sounded like a really pleasant place! The sort where he was sure he'd find plenty of people whose heads he could be assigned to taking under normal circumstances.<br>
<br>
With Victorique going along with the  'joke', from what she could gather with her ability, the guard was surprised, but what was even more useful was probably the appraisal component of her ability which showed that the guard was actually a body guard employed by the Taltons, meaning that he was affiliated with Adriano. Perhaps Victorique could have figured this out without Kane if she went the right place, but at the very least Kane provided some kind of 'cover" for them if anyone asked<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">Talton Bodyguard<br>

<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"Well you certainly have the right presence for it."</span> The guard commented obviously impacted by her [Bulvark's Touch].<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"Anyway we certainly wouldn't want anything to go wrong with the lady's request then now would we?"</span> The guard took his key out opened the gate, gesturing for them to go ahead, before offering a small blue  to Victorique with a  white stele with Terran inscribed into it.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"If anyone else gives you any trouble just show this to them and I'll corroborate your story."</span><br>
<br>
Kane nodded, <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"Thanks for the cooperation." </span> Before continuing,<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"Then we'll be on our way to do our check if that's alright."</span> Kane replied back, The guard nodded, Kane then gestured for Victorique to follow and  headed past the door and went down the initial hallway to make a right turn.<br>
<br>
The way he was heading there was less likely to be other guards it wasn't' as if he hadn't been here with his father before making his way to a holding cell hallway figuring they'd have put the sibling in the higher security section.<br>
<br>
The atmosphere of this section was particularly oppressive, it probably wouldn't take Victorique too long to figure out if she used any of her abilities that these cells had some kind of strong magic negation on around the perimeter of them to limit the occupant inside, at the same time there was some sort of constant drain to make breaking out very difficult regardless of skills, designed to hold up to at least C comfortably.<br>
<br>
Uninterrupted the pair would stumble upon one of the cells that was holding Adriano. The actual space was a small window one could look into the cell from attached to the stone door in front of each one. Inside the cell there was someone who looked very similar to the Taltons who was hunched over except he had been stripped of many of his more lavish garments instead wearing a very plain beige cloth shirt and tied shorts, not even provided shoes it appeared. He was slumped over on the hard ground looking very absent.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"That's the guy."</span></b> Kane would murmur to Victorique gesturing to Adriano in the cell.  Kane then knocked on the small window. "Hey Adriano, got someone here who'd like to ask you some questions." He said matter of fact, but Adriano didn't even appear to acknowledge they were there when he did that.<br>

The closer we get to the end the greater chance we believe that more fantastical powers become unlocked. We come to predict approximately which scale we're on, around what's believed to be the third life visions like these are more likely to occur."</span><br>
<br>
The good professor chuckled some at the bear  pun comment and ultimately the making it into an epic comment as well.<br>
<br>
He outwardly seemed glad that Gyld had accepted his gift and worn it in his own way, even if it was probably likely as the owl bear said that he did not actually practically need anything like that, given his natural coat was probably warm enough.<br>
<br>
He did notice the eat comment but didn't look particularly bothered by it instead just smiling, <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"I look forward to meeting this beast as well."</span><br>
<br>
By the time Gyld was leaping around forward as they moved out the professor appeared to be in an elevated move himself as he kept up his brisk pace despite what he was carrying well, even if his outward appearance didn't exactly yell that he was super physically strong.<br>
<br>
Thankfully as the reached the great white expanse which Gyld had been excitedly talking about,  for where they were heading the snow did not seem to be particularly deep, a light layer on many places where they treaded.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Hm, seems that we've lucked out with the weather, I've been out here when it's been much more violent." </span>Professor Neco said to no one in particular, while the sky casted a grey over the land and it was cold, at least it wasn't snowing and there wasn't a strong natural wind across the scape at the moment, it was a light cold breeze.<br>
<br>
The landscape shifted in elevation every now and again with dips and raises as the trio went onward toward the seashore where Neco was convinced that there would be what they were looking for.<br>
<br>
The first half an hour of the trek was relatively uneventful, there didn't appear to be another soul insight, except for what appeared to be a mecha on the horizon in the far distance which was lumbering along, but it didn't appear to have any interest in the trio, it looked like it was actually heading back the direction they were coming from.<br>
<br>
As the group moved further out to a gradual snowy incline along the path, as the air could be felt getting a bit cooler, probably signifying that they were getting closer to the coast  suddenly some vibrations could be seen in the snow, and Professor Neco froze up.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)"><b>"Ms. Penrose, Gyld, be still."</b> </span>He announced, with a slight sense of urgency, as some more movement could be seen in the snow, suddenly a modest sized  icey blue scaley tail sticking up briefly and going back into the snow, whatever they were they were larger than a typical snake but were not massive.<br>
<br>
At the moment it looked like there was at least two-three of them moving around now, it was unclear  if the animals  were interested in the group or not.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"If they don't go away on their own get ready to engage. They are reactive to movement." </span>Professor Neco stated as he looked tense , until suddenly one of them lunged at him revealing what it was, an icey snake of sorts bearing it's fangs, but suddenly Professor Neco's eyes would light up a light green color  and he'd send force a lime colored orb out of his hand which struck the snake then and there, while he didn't kill it suddenly it froze up belly side up on the ground not moving as if it had been paralyzed.<br>

<hr><br>
Orchid was pretty good at this sleuthing stuff! Maybe she ought to become an investigator herself. Orchid was able to gather some useful information such as the name of the child, Kris Brimly, as well as the general direction if her family's home. Considering that most folks barely knew the victim Orchid assumed it was a peasant family. Then again now that she thought about it, it was probably rare for someone of nobility to be executed so quickly. Maybe folks just forgot about the victim in favor of seeing so blue blood spilled. Even in her old world, Orchid could believe folks mobbing to see some rich kid getting put through the ringer out of some misplaced retributive justice. All the more reason Orchid needed to hurry and find Victorique before that axe fell.<br>
<br>
Figuring that Victorique probably went to the town center to talk to the family of the victim (still lost on Orchid that Victorique actually went to speak to the accused murderer), she heads there to look for Victorique it possibly the noble, Eliza. As she walked, Orchid also thought more about the grey cloaks. Sure enough folks have seen them around, but they're a relatively new sight to the local. Maybe Orchid's hunch about the other Talton hiring them to frame his brother has some merit: what better assassin's than those who are not local? But as she thought more of it, Orchid could potentially see the opposite: maybe these grey cloaks were hired by the Taltons to also investigate or otherwise save their brother somehow. Maybe they'll teleport their brother out if the city, or replace him with a body double. Orchid could easily see some magic abilities that can do either. With any luck may e this Eliza girl may have some clue about the Grey Cloaks. No doubt she is in favor of saving her brother by any means necessary, but Orchid was more concerned about making sure Victorique had the full picture and keeling the halfling safe.<br>
<br>
As she nears the town center Orchid would jump to a higher vantage point to look for Eliza. Being noble, Orchid doubts she's just standing in the crowd with the rest of the rabble so she looks for what may be some sort of special seating area. A guarded building perhaps, or a raised pavilion. Anywhere that would look like a good spot to oversee ab execution and probably has guards around, maybe even one of those mechs. If nothing else, Orchid looked for that silver white hair. <br>
<br>
In the event Orchid does find Eliza, she practices her introduction. It's been a while since she had to deal with nobility so Orchid would make sure to put her Persuasion (E) and [Gregarious] nature to work, so that Eliza doesnt just take Orchid as a brutish sell sword but as someone more knightly. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Excuse me. Pardon my intrusion, but am I correct  that you are Lady Eliza Talton? My name is Orchid the Green Knight, and I am under the employ of a Victorique Sopheana, who I believe you are aquatinted with. She has hired me to protect her, and I was wondering if you knew where she is so that I may by her side." </span>Orchid figured this would be a good introduction. Tell her enough about herself so Eliza doesnt see Orchid as a total stranger, and say something relevant to her so she has a reason to care. At the same time, Orchid tries not to ask too many questions as to not overwhelm the girl, nor show her hand at what info Orchid does know or what exactly she's been doing.</div>

<b>Languages:</b> Common | &lt;Beastial&gt; | [Terran] | {Sylvan} <br>
<br>
A self-repairing catalyst? How peculiar. That stood out more than the bland reaction she'd gotten from both Kane and Eliza. Well, so be it. Can't have it all. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'd be glad to be making memories with you then.”</b></span> She replied to him, after he sort-off officiated their friendship. To a degree, he kept reminding her of Arthur. She wondered how that dude was doing, if he was still keeping the Champion in check or if he'd succumbed to it. Perhaps she should see about contacting the Divees crew someday? That'd have to wait till later though.<br>
<br>
Honestly, she had to suppress a laugh. A Talton bodyguard being somehow assigned to guard a Talton noble? What? Who'd let such a big fuck-up go through? These folk were more careless than she expected. Still, that could be used to their advantage. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Absolutely not, lest we be next on the chopping block, right?”</b></span> She replied to his comment of the lady's request, having started to pick up a bit of a nasty habit of calling out execution-thirsty nobles from Kane already.<br>
<br>
She did get more serious when he gave her the thing, as she quickly checked what it read in Terran. She'd reply more serious this time around. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Don't worry, I'll get this sorted out. Although if you'd want my advice. Don't listen to their older brother. He's just going to land himself and everyone else in trouble. Wait on me to get stuff figured out and let me solve this the right way, lest he makes a fool out of himself and gets everyone involved with whatever he might be plotting on the chopping block. Tell him I said that, if he hasn't approached you already, he'll likely do so soon.”</b></span> She stated, recalling how eager the older Talton brother had been to do something stupid and expecting this guard to be the first he'd approached to forcefully try to free his brother and make the current mess even messier.<br>
<br>
She followed along with Kane, as she started to realise this place was pretty darn well guarded with some investigative abilities to check for it. Especially the drain was brutal. She wondered how the older Talton brother was planning to get around those, or if he'd be stupid enough not to have a plan for it to begin with. Or perhaps he'd just try to save Adriano just before the execution? That'd probably be the likelier option. Either way, she'd need to beat him to it. This was a race now. <br>
<br>
…<br>
<br>
…<br>
<br>
The world was putting up a challenge for sure. She stood in front of the door, knowing there was a small window up higher, but being unable to look through. Height constraints. She clicked her tongue. She could climb up, grab hold of the window and peer through, but she'd look like a bloody monkey. She could ask Kane to lift her up, but fuck no. She could jump and peer through for a bit... like a frog. Nope. Fine, she'd not see the dude. She didn't care to see him. Who cared? She certainly didn't. Nope. Not at all.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“How's he looking?”</b></span> She asked Kane. For scientific purpose. To aid her investigation. Not because she was curious. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Hey Adriano, if you hear me, you'd best start talking! Your older brother's gonna get himself killed and your sister's worried sick. Help me sort this out and I'll be able to keep the three of you from falling apart. Easy enough, right?”</b></span> She'd call out, hoping the mention of his siblings would spark him a bit more willingness to talk (also using Ultimate Argument) if this was even Adriano to begin with. She couldn't confirm visually, after all. Perhaps this was a fake and the real one had already been freed by Affonso. That'd be quit the twist...<br>
<br>
She decided to assume against it, for now at least. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“We've already pretty much confirmed your innocence, we just need to gather more evidence to prove it. As such, tell me all you remember. Don't hold anything back. I'll make sure to use it to get this sorted out and have you back at home before the day ends.”</b></span> She stated, using ultimate argument again. <br>

			Thankfully as the reached the great white expanse which Gyld had been excitedly talking about, for where they were heading the snow did not seem to be particularly deep, a light layer on many places where they treaded.<br>
<br>
"Hm, seems that we've lucked out with the weather, I've been out here when it's been much more violent." Professor Neco said to no one in particular, while the sky casted a grey over the land and it was cold, at least it wasn't snowing and there wasn't a strong natural wind across the scape at the moment, it was a light cold breeze.

</blockquote><br>
    Seeing the expanse of white unfold before them filled Gyld's heart with elation. He couldn't help but bounce a bit on his massive paws, a deep and throaty chuckle rumbling from his chest. "This is more like it!" he exclaimed, looking around at the snow-blanketed landscape with wide, sparkling eyes. He turned to Professor Neco, a wide grin splitting his furry face. "I can see why you enjoy it here. It's... wild."<br>
<br>
    Gyld raked his fore claws over the surface of the snow, relishing the sensation of the cold flakes against his skin. His amber amulet kept him warm, its gentle glow contrasting beautifully against the whiteness of the snow. The weather, although chilly, didn't seem to bother him in the slightest - instead, it seemed to invigorate him even more.<br>
<br>
<br>

			The landscape shifted in elevation every now and again with dips and raises as the trio went onward toward the seashore where Neco was convinced that there would be what they were looking for.<br>
<br>
The first half an hour of the trek was relatively uneventful, there didn't appear to be another soul insight, except for what appeared to be a mecha on the horizon in the far distance which was lumbering along, but it didn't appear to have any interest in the trio, it looked like it was actually heading back the direction they were coming from.

</blockquote><br>
    The hike had been peaceful so far, and Gyld enjoyed every moment of it. His golden eyes roved over the landscape, scanning the dips and rises of the terrain, taking in every detail. The sight of the mecha on the horizon, though distant and seemingly uninterested in them, brought a spark of excitement to his gaze. "Not as fancy machine as the Ancient Onodrim Tree Hosts of the Eternal Glade, but not bad," he remarked, pointing a massive curved fore claw in its direction. "Wouldn't be so bad to see what the humanoids have come up with."<br>
<br>
    Gyld was filled with an almost puppy-like enthusiasm as they trekked further. His ears swiveled to catch every sound, his nose twitched to smell every scent. Every new sight or sound was met with a bark or shriek of joy.<br>
<br>

			As the group moved further out to a gradual snowy incline along the path, as the air could be felt getting a bit cooler, probably signifying that they were getting closer to the coast suddenly some vibrations could be seen in the snow, and Professor Neco froze up.<br>
<br>
"Ms. Penrose, Gyld, be still." He announced, with a slight sense of urgency, as some more movement could be seen in the snow, suddenly a modest sized icey blue scaley tail sticking up briefly and going back into the snow, whatever they were they were larger than a typical snake but were not massive.

</blockquote><br>
    At the sudden change in the atmosphere, Gyld's jovial demeanor seemed to dim slightly. His ears pricked up at the vibrations in the snow, his golden eyes narrowing as he followed the path of the icy-blue tail disappearing back into the snow. His body stiffened, a low growl rumbling in his chest as he scanned their surroundings. At Professor Neco's warning, he nodded, shifting his stance to prepare for whatever was to come.<br>
<br>
    "I'm ready," he rumbled, his voice deep and steady. His eyes remained fixed on the spot where the tail had disappeared, his body taut with anticipation.<br>
<br>
<br>

			At the moment it looked like there was at least two-three of them moving around now, it was unclear if the animals were interested in the group or not.<br>
<br>
"If they don't go away on their own get ready to engage. They are reactive to movement." Professor Neco stated as he looked tense , until suddenly one of them lunged at him revealing what it was, an icey snake of sorts bearing it's fangs, but suddenly Professor Neco's eyes would light up a light green color and he'd send force a lime colored orb out of his hand which struck the snake then and there, while he didn't kill it suddenly it froze up belly side up on the ground not moving as if it had been paralyzed.

	</div>
</blockquote><br>
<br>
    At the sight of the icy snakes, Gyld's body tensed. He watched as Professor Neco swiftly handled one of the creatures, a spark of admiration in his eyes. "Nice shot, Professor!" he called out, his gaze scanning their surroundings for any more threats.<br>
<br>
    His eyes flicked to Phoebe, his brow feathers fluffed in concern. "Stay close, Phoebe," he rumbled, his voice filled with a protective determination. As his body remained coiled and ready, Gyld prepared himself to protect his companions from any more icy threats that might emerge from the snowy expanse.<br>
<br>
    The icy landscape seemed to come alive as the snowy serpents emerged, their pale blue bodies glistening against the frost-covered terrain. Gyld watched, fascinated and alert, as they slithered through the snow, their dark blue striations creating an eerie contrast to their otherwise translucent bodies. The striations pulsed with a cool luminescence, giving them an otherworldly glow. The snakes' bodies were long and sinuous, undulating rhythmically through the white canvas of the snow like ethereal water spirits.<br>
<br>
    Their tails were peculiarly striking, flaring out towards the tip into a fan-like structure that reminded Gyld of peacock feathers. The tails seemed to serve a purpose beyond mere locomotion, adding a hypnotic quality to their movements, possibly to ensnare their prey in a visual trance.<br>
<br>
    The most unsettling feature, however, was their gaping mouths. As one of the snakes lunged, its mouth hinged open to reveal rows of razor-sharp teeth, gleaming menacingly against the icy backdrop. The sight was both fascinating and alarming, prompting Gyld to take a step back instinctively.<br>
<br>
    Gyld's golden eyes were fixed on the serpents, the excitement in his gaze replaced with a mix of caution and determination. He was ready to spring into action at the slightest provocation, his body coiled tight and muscles tensed, mirroring the very creatures that had the group in a standoff. As the snakes hissed and writhed, Gyld remained vigilant, ready to defend his companions against the icy threat.<br>
<br>
    Still, his eyes roved to the snake that the professor had hit with his magic. It wasn't the White Bear of the North and he hadn't hunted it himself, but as far as prey went it looked filling. He did enjoy eating his prey alive when possible. Plus it might help to serve to draw the other two snakes onto him.<br>
<br>
    Preparing for his next move, Gyld invoked the magic of his domain. Green energy pulsed from his core, snaking its way around his body and sinking into his skin. The magic reacted with the primal energies that animated his form, causing his skin to harden. In moments, his body was enveloped in a layer of rough, dark bark, reminiscent of an ancient tree from the heart of the Eternal Glade. Thorns protruded from this new layer, giving him an intimidating, formidable look. The thorns bristled with magical energy, ready to hurt anyone who dared to touch Gyld in his armored state.<br>
<br>
The change was not just defensive, but offensive too. An aura radiated from him, imbued with a powerful irritant effect. The icy air around Gyld started to smell of damp earth and musty wood, a potent aroma that was capable of distracting and possibly blinding any creature caught unawares.<br>
<br>
With his defenses and deterrents in place, Gyld moved forward. He turned his attention to the paralyzed icy snake, its luminescent form lying immobilized on the snowy ground. Stepping carefully, he reached the snake, stopping momentarily to marvel at the exotic creature. He then opened his mouth, dislocating his jaw much like the snake itself, revealing a dark void within. It was time to use his Devour ability.<br>
<br>
Summoning his magic, a dark green vortex appeared in his open mouth, the pull of it almost tangible in the silent icy landscape. The snake's body twitched once before it was sucked into Gyld's gaping maw, disappearing into the vortex. As the last of the snake vanished, Gyld's jaw clicked back into place, the vortex winking out of existence.<br>
<br>
The process was complete. The icy snake had been devoured, its essence now part of Gyld, its knowledge and experiences integrated into his own. He could feel the icy power of the snake coursing through him, mingling with his own magic, creating a fascinating hybrid of capabilities he could tap into when needed. Standing tall, Gyld turned to face the other two snakes and he roared a challenge at them, daring them to share the same fate!<br>

Certainly an interesting thing to learn for sure, but how would they move on between lives? Was it just dying like normal or was there like some special kind of ritual or death involved? It was a nice little thought experiment to keep Phoebe occupied as they trekked through the snowy wilderness.<br>
<br>
The trek through the white and grey terrain was a nice change of pace compared to the hustle and bustle of cities Phoebe was used to, though the peaceful snowscape wouldn't last for much longer. A bad feeling washed over Phoebe as the Professor told her and Gyld to be still, only confirmed by movement in the snow further ahead. The pink haired mage, while ready for a fight, still jumped a bit when the snake suddenly lunged at the Professor but quickly regained her composure as the Professor's strike hit the serpent.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">"Right behind you."</span></b> She responded to her owl bear companion as a hard shell complete with thorns seemed to grow on his hide, a smell reminiscent of that of a forest right after rain radiating from him after he did so. As Gyld seemed to consume the first snake the Professor at struck down, the pink haired mage turned her attention to and pointed her wand at one of the remaining 2 snakes as Gyld roared at them. She took a deep breath, steading her nerves and focusing her gaze on her targets. Indeed, it probably would be accurate to call them ice snakes, their hides making them look like some ice sculpture come to life, though they're most definitely not as fragile.<br>
<br>
A few blue sparks of electricity appeared along the shaft of Phoebe's wand as she began to speak, her voice steady and her tone focused. <b><span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">["Powers that be, lend me the strength to harness the power of the storm and strike true at my foes!"] </span></b>As she recited the incantation, a blue orb began to form at the tip of her wand before it shot forth as a bolt of lightning towards one of the snakes as Phoebe finished uttering the last syllable. Granted the bolt struck true at the serpent, another bolt will emanate from the first snake and strike the second.<br>
<br>
After the bolt of lightning left Phoebe's wand, the mage took a defensive stance behind Gyld, allowing for a chance for her mana recuperate for a bit before casting another spell at the snakes as she remained vigilant for any sudden movements from the snakes.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Orchid seemed to have a knack for figuring out where she should be going by asking the right questions of the locals. Even if thought about where Victorique might be wasn't accurate this time around, it still was a solid thought and one that a good choice to investigate. THe guard had been truthful in what he told her as she made her way over to the center area where people had started gathering. Thanks to her scaling abilities it wasn't difficult for her to get up high once again as she neared the  center and could see the variety of clothing in the now more pronounced crowd. The murder had been a hot topic of the town with it involving a noble of all people ,quite the scandal indeed, so in that sense it wasn't a surprise why there would be more than usual showing up to see this go down. There actually were a couple of the mechas near by in the square, perhaps as a precautionary move as it could be difficult to predict when the next monster attack would break out particularly when they were the sorts of enemies that could infiltrate areas like this at high enough grades.<br>
<br>
Any number of Orchid's thoughts could have been accurate and they certainly weren't unreasonable thoughts as a motive for what was going on. At Orchid's higher vantage point she'd notice that her thoughts about there being a more private and guarded viewing area for more important people were correct. There was a raised pavilion  that was parallel across the square from where Orchid was up looking, she could parkour herself around he perimeter thanks to the way the roofs had been designed, and drop down nearby the Pavilion  if need be, as she could see the same familiar  looking young woman from before sitting on a blue padded ornate wooden chair, overlooking the wooden stage with the stand  which had been put up for the day's event. Near her there were at least  Talton two bodyguards, and another chair which was currently empty, not far from Orchid was another noble looking person on an adjacent Pavilion  from Eliza Talton  with their own guards but this time the individual had darker hair, and seemed to wear red and gold as their color scheme, While Orchid wasn't privy to it it was actually one of members of the other house which Kane had been describing earlier to Victorique who had apparently had come to see the execution, having a motive to do so.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)"><b>Talton Bodyguard #1</b></span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/0af4ced798711d9972ea9505e205ed2f-jpg.1096151/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1033/1033281-06d177e75fd2819bfc90341a1f355c4a.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="0af4ced798711d9972ea9505e205ed2f.jpg" title="0af4ced798711d9972ea9505e205ed2f.jpg" width="100" height="271" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
When Orchid made her presence  known on the wooden raised  Pavilion the two guards immediately drew their blades as Eliza looked surprised at the new comer. The guards looked very similar to he one that Kane and Victorique had interacted with.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"Halt who goes there?" </span>The one on the right demanded to know, however Orchid's introduction using her Persuasion and [Gregarious] title to her advantage to seem more knightly and noble rather than how an orc might come off otherwise to some which was brutish.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">Eliza Talton</span></b><br>

 Eliza's eyes lit up a bit however when Orchid mentioned Victorique's name as she replied, <span style="color: rgb(202, 239, 247)">"Oh  I see! Yes I am familiar with the one you speak of, A she's trying to help my brother at this very moment, went to the dungeons to try and get some information out of him for the case. For the actual location they are near the fort itself, with a distinctive square stone structure and a door. I hope that information is helpful though , I certainly wouldn't want to keep you too long from your task, Victorique certainly seems to be a valuable person, a body guard is only natural." </span> Eliza would wave her hand dismissively toward the guard who had  raised the sword. At seeing this the guard gave a small bow before putting it away, seemingly satiated by Orchid's response for now as it was apparent that she had some connection that Eliza was aware of.<br>

Previously Kane was pleased enough to see that Victorique appeared to be verbally reciprocating an agreement to his request. With a bit of a grin forming at hearing her say that she was glad to make memories with him, Kane couldn't say he had heard any one say that sort of thing to him before but it was surprisingly more nice to hear than he had been expecting.<br>
---<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)"> <b>Talton Bodyguard</b></span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/0af4ced798711d9972ea9505e205ed2f-1-jpg.1096297/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1033/1033427-06d177e75fd2819bfc90341a1f355c4a.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="0af4ced798711d9972ea9505e205ed2f-1.jpg" title="0af4ced798711d9972ea9505e205ed2f-1.jpg" width="100" height="271" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
The Talton guard on the other hand wasn't terribly humored by Victorique's comment. Someone who was royal to the very family that Victorique was taking what could be considered a jab at, wasn't exactly what he wanted to hear, but as long as they were there to help the guard seemed to tolerate it, her comment however did earn a chuckle out of Kane, though Kane did wonder if she should really be as care free about that sort of thing as he had been. Kane knew that Victorique still probably had a long life of ahead of her and she had many jobs she could get easily unlike himself it felt. Regardless they were still allowed to pass after she said that.<br>
The thing he handed her read 'House Talton of the Kingdom of Rotia. The person(s) who hold this item gain special permission from House Talton to operate within the confines of the assigned task. All complaints about the conduct of this individual should be directly forwarded to the house.'<br>
<br>
"<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">I see, thank you for letting me know, it's appreciated. I wish you well on your mission, and I trust that justice will prevail."</span> The guard said in a  plain cool tone, not really revealing too much how much or little he actually knew about the situation to Victorique in response.<br>
---<br>
In the current it didn't take all to long for Kane to tell that Victorique was going to have a problem with seeing the guy, which was a stupid constraint to have to deal with if you were trying to read and gain information on the guy.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">Kane Blackburne</span></b><br>

<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"He looks like half the men in this town after a long day of killing monsters and siting on a tavern stool up for their next drink."</span> Kane reported, before he let out a bit of a sigh, even without being asked as Victorique made her monologue, Kane got down on all fours near the door and straightened out his back sort of like what an end piece of furniture was like used to your feet on while you sat on a couch. <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)"> "Looks like you could use a boost."</span> He offered. It was pretty apparent he wasn't the most pleased to position himself like this.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(9, 113, 230)">Adriano Talton</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/0bf38efb-2953-4e51-b1bc-73218cead689-png.1096292/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1033/1033422-cfcde2f0b8986145418d86d3e5d0d73c.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="0bf38efb-2953-4e51-b1bc-73218cead689.png" title="0bf38efb-2953-4e51-b1bc-73218cead689.png" width="100" height="150" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Adriano eventually looked up and started to talk,<span style="color: rgb(9, 113, 230)"> "What's the point? Even if you have evidence  I already tried telling them I didn't do anything, I told them again and again that I didn't do anything..no matter how many times I told them I didn't do anything they didn't listen..and now they're really going to put me up there and they're going to KILL ME.  It's a conspiracy against me from house Cecil isn't it?!  They didn't like that I out staged Hrodbert right?! They just want to see me die don't they?!  well I've said it before and I'll say it again <b>I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! </b>He'd start pounding the ground of the cell to no avail between the yelling, his voice sounding a bit unhinged toward the later part, before he started hyperventilating a bit "They're going to kill me...no matter what I say..aren't they?.."</span><br>
<br>
Kane eventually piped up,<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)"> "Listen up, she said she's here to help, I get that you don't want to die but we need you to tell us what happened so we can define what really did. If she didn't think we could help I wouldn't be wasting my time here with you believe me. "</span> Kane said sounding serious.<br>
<br>
Eventually Adriano became to calm down a bit from the state he was in, Victorique's ability apparently kicking in as he replied with anxious sigh  <span style="color: rgb(9, 113, 230)">"I  guess..this is one the last chances I have to tell it like it was..I, ..was going for a walk outside to help cure some of my anxiety about the recent monster attacks.. one night a few weeks ago or so...night walks aren't all that unusal for me, I have a hard time sleeping sometimes..but then walking near the walls ..."</span> He'd pause <span style="color: rgb(9, 113, 230)">"I meet what must of been a  kid..they looked  a bit out of place to me since they're wearing these white silky garments without any shoes on..their hair was black, eyes a near solid grey unlike anything I"d ever quite seen..and they told me that they had gotten  lost and asked me if i could help them find their way back..so of course I agreed..and.." He started to slow down again obviously sounding a bit more upset at the next part, pained even,"<br>
<br>
 "When we got close to the walls..suddenly the kid was on the ground, and bleeding all over the place..and before I knew it some white strands had attached all over me, and I had drawn my  long sword..and..brought it down on their head it's all sort of just a blur.next thing i Know it's morning and  I'm being arrested and have blood all over me.I know it sounds outlandish but it's what happened I promise.."</span> He reiterated.<br>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/screenshot-2023-05-02-at-11-31-35-pm-1-1-png.1096290/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1033/1033420-f36e4a40f0d1169d7c47d39cedc59c56.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 11.31.35 PM-1-1.png" title="Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 11.31.35 PM-1-1.png" width="100" height="149" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"It is quite different from the environment in Kuridan, I must admit that. Many interesting beasts and monsters to acquire information on out here."</span> Professor Neco said with a smile at Gyld's commentary regarding him understanding why Neco liked the wilderness here. The good professor smiled upon seeing Gyld's endearing actions and words once again. <br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
Back in the present Professor Neco gave a nod, his ears were pinned back against his head, taking very much a defensive more predatory stance, tail swishing back and forth.<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)"> “I see you have some  more unique abilities up your sleeve I wasn’t aware of, that’s quite amazing!” </span>He said seeing Gyld’s domain aura go over the owl bear’s body, it’s natural tones contrasting quite nicely with the snowy landscape they were on. Indeed it was best if Phoebe stayed close lest she get into a position where the snakes could easily attack her. <br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/727f32def56b6ff297c516240ad08972-jpg.1096194/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1033/1033324-4cf5ccd90b60769aa3f28b69580f8e34.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="727f32def56b6ff297c516240ad08972.jpg" title="727f32def56b6ff297c516240ad08972.jpg" width="115" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div>The next closest snake appeared confused by the shift in environment around Gyld and paused since it smelled and sensed something unlike anything it’d experienced before, unnerved by the elements of the forest which Gyld was bringing forth around him. The snake then let out a wild aggressive hiss  and unhinged it’s jaw before it leapt and  went right for Gyld out of it’s confusion for something completely new and threatening before it found itself getting knocked back and irritated, writhing around in the snow  after making contact with the barrier, the snake bleeding out some kind of blue substance as it took damage right through it’s light natural armor, not only that but it’s senses were in disarray thanks to Gyld’s irritant in his Bark Skin ability.<br>
<br>
While Gyld was protecting himself with his magic, his devour ability proved to be effective on the paralyzed snake, causing Professor Neco to have a double take almost at the scene as the snake went into the void and vanished. Thanks to the nature of Gyld’s devour and subsequent integration he’d find himself with extra resistance against a many of the cold based venomous foes which they’d potentially face in the future in this area. After the snake was repelled by Gyld’s bark skin  and took damage,Phoebe’s attack came in next and fried the snake with brilliant electricity until it stopped moving in the snow looking a more toasty color.<br>
<br>
What might have been surprising to Pinkette was that her chain lightning attack didn’t stop there on finishing off the third one it actually hit another snake who had been completely concealed in the snow, as in a fourth nearby snake which writhed out in pain as it’s body was shocked, But before it could respond properly, suddenly Professor Neco rapidly moved forward as if in a blink, and moved his hand forward, strand of green energy in a claw like pattern ripped through the shocked snake and cut it into various segments, as Professor Neco was left panting in his action pose after the fact.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Alright..I think that’s all of them..is everyone okay?” </span>The professor asked out, looking around between Gyld and Phoebe, <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“That..was quite a display there Phoebe, you’re quite skilled at magic too..I know this attack wasn’t exactly the best turn of events but..this is a good thing because it means we’re getting closer to the coast, these ice snake dens become more numerous..which means we’re getting closer to the bear of white. I feel like I should forewarn you now, you should be careful with the ground as we proceed, there might be some rather nasty spider pits not all too far away.”</span> He said with a positive smile. Despite the less than desirable subject matter he seemed upbeat enough, at the assessment that no one had been injured. <br>
<br>
Presuming the group was ready to go again, Neko would gather his composure and start the trek down the slope that was starting at the top of the incline they had been walking up prior, and on the high point they could see there there was still quite a bit of way st ogo in the snow, however up ahead in the far distance there appeared to be several  strange stone alignments of all shapes and sizes placed in a circular motion around a flatter clearing in the white expanse. Some of the stones had symbols on them which were glowing hues of blue as if to suggest some sort of dormant energy, all the details weren't very clear from the distance they were at however. What it meant was anyone’s guess.<br>

<b>Languages:</b> Common | &lt;Beastial&gt; | [Terran] | {Sylvan} <br>
<br>
She'd done her due diligence warning the guard not to be stupid, although she feared he'd ignore her. Well, that'd be his own fault. If they weren't going to wait for her to fix this, she wouldn't come and save them from doing actual crime that'd get them on the chopping block. <br>
<br>
She clicked her tongue. Kane's description of the guy wasn't all that useful... however, she was surprised when Kane suddenly got on all fours. That was... unexpected. Yes, it definitely was far superior to being picked up, but she'd really assumed the guy to be a lot more prideful than this. Had she been wrong, or was this dude far more serious about this friendship deal? Either way, she'd take the offer, but as a sign of respect, she at least took her shoes off before hopping on top of him. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Thanks.”</b></span> Was all she'd say, not wishing to use more words on it.<br>
<br>
Now that she could actually see Adriano, she also had to deal with his ranting. There were some snippets of useful information, but most of it thoroughly annoyed her. She was somewhat glad that Kane eventually told him to just stick to the subject, as she would've done so herself otherwise. As she'd listen to it all, she'd use [Ultimate Detective] to try get a read on his titles (if he wasn't close enough, she'd tell him to come closer with Ultimate Argument) and on whether or not he was truthful. <br>
<br>
However, at the end of his story, she could conclude a few things. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Alright, I get you're panicked and all, but it's important you listen carefully. First of all, stop telling them that you didn't do anything. Tell them that you were made to do it instead, that it wasn't voluntarily. Everyone saw that your body killed that kid, but what you need them to be aware of, is that it wasn't your mind that was controlling your body at the time, but those white things. We've confirmed their presence ourselves, so we can testify on your behalf, but you really need to be on the same page as us. Your body killed that kid, whether you like it or not, what we need to prove is that your mind wasn't in charge for it.”</b></span> She'd really hammered down that part, as she knew that if he'd claim his total innocence, he'd only dig his grave deeper (Law D). He needed to instead claim he wasn't in control to have any shot at getting out of this one. The latter was also what she needed to prove.<br>
<br>
That brought her to the next point. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Now, I'll keep that Hrobert and house Cecil in mind, but there's something far more intriguing here. There have been monster attacks, but I'm assuming those weren't successful, as this place is till standing. However, what you're saying suggests one monster slipped in to start causing chaos from the inside. I mean, come on, a kid with silky garments without shoes, eyes of a solid grey, getting lost at midnight? That's a monster in disguise if anything, no? I mean, in hindsight, surely even you must think so. The white tendril things it lead you to might be its fellow monster, or perhaps the kid itself was an illusion by those tendrils to lure you towards them... either way, I'm about 90% sure this is the work of some monsters, although I reserve a slight chance of magic being used... Although...”</b></span><br>
<br>
She was suddenly realising a leap in judgment. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Wait, are you sure the kid that asked you for direction is the same one as the one you killed? I honestly assumed there were two, but if not... Yes. That might mean that kid was also under the same tendril's influence? That would change this... However, what I don't get is why you were aware during the killing moment and not before... unless... unless whatever did this, wanted you to be aware of it. You blacked out between getting close to the walls and then got back just before killing the kid? That only seems to confirm its the work of a monster, if it went out of its way to have you experience the killing. Someone trying to merely set you up wouldn't go the extra mile to give you back your consciousness and risk you breaking free, or at least, they wouldn't likely do so unless they truly loathed you. Do you think House Cecil would loathe you so much that they'd want you to suffer thoroughly, rather than just take you out?”</b></span> She was debating the various options, unsure of any of them.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Either way, is there truly nothing more you can recall about that kid? Male, female? Sounding older or younger than they looked? Human, Beast, Fae? More-over, and I know this might be tough, but do your best to think back on if there might be differences between the kid before and after you attacked. No matter how subtle, it might be useful to know, to pin down just what exactly this kid was or was being controlled by or... well, other. The kid's the biggest unknown variable to me, but also the most promising lead to figure out how to prove your innocence.”</b></span> She'd keep up Ultimate Argument throughout, to see if that'd help Adriano cooperate, rather than spiral back into arguing his innocence to the air. <br>

			While Gyld was protecting himself with his magic, his devour ability proved to be effective on the paralyzed snake, causing Professor Neco to have a double take almost at the scene as the snake went into the void and vanished. Thanks to the nature of Gyld’s devour and subsequent integration he’d find himself with extra resistance against a many of the cold based venomous foes which they’d potentially face in the future in this area. After the snake was repelled by Gyld’s bark skin and took damage,Phoebe’s attack came in next and fried the snake with brilliant electricity until it stopped moving in the snow looking a more toasty color.

<br>
Gyld stood still for a moment, watching as the other snake writhed and thrashed in the snow. The chilling atmosphere was punctuated by the electric discharge of Phoebe's attack as the snake's body jolted from the shock. The smell of charred scales and the faint crackling in the air signified the snake's end. The bluish substance which bled from the snake mixed with the pure white snow, giving an ethereal tint to the surroundings.<br>
<br>
Gyld's bark skin had held its ground, the wooden armor proving its worth against the snake's leap. There was a satisfaction within Gyld at having protected himself effectively, and also at the newfound resistance against cold and venom pulsing through his core from the essence of the devoured snake.<br>
<br>
Turning toward Professor Neco, Gyld couldn't help but notice the bewilderment on the professor’s face. A wide grin cracked across Gyld's bark-covered face as he raised his arms triumphantly.<br>
<br>
"Professor, you look like you've just seen a ghost!" Gyld exclaimed, his voice booming through the quiet landscape. “But, fear not! It’s just good old Spirit Beast armed with a full glory of the wilderness and now boosted the power of our scaly friend here!”<br>

			What might have been surprising to Pinkette was that her chain lightning attack didn’t stop there on finishing off the third one it actually hit another snake who had been completely concealed in the snow, as in a fourth nearby snake which writhed out in pain as it’s body was shocked, But before it could respond properly, suddenly Professor Neco rapidly moved forward as if in a blink, and moved his hand forward, strand of green energy in a claw like pattern ripped through the shocked snake and cut it into various segments, as Professor Neco was left panting in his action pose after the fact.

</blockquote><br>
Gyld's eyes widened as he beheld the spectacular scene unfolding before him. Phoebe’s voice rang out like a clarion call, commanding the elements as blue sparks danced around her wand. As the bolt of lightning she conjured struck the first snake, Gyld expected the fury to dissipate. But to his astonishment, the energy leaped from the fallen creature onto another, and then another. The air crackled with raw elemental power, and the scent of ozone was thick.<br>
<br>
When a fourth, previously hidden snake emerged from the snow, writhing and hissing in pain, Gyld instinctively tensed his muscles, preparing to engage it. However, before he could make a move, Professor Neco sprang into action with astonishing speed. The professor’s form seemed to blur as he darted forward, and the very air seemed to rip apart as green strands of energy slashed through the serpent with surgical precision.<br>
<br>
As the last snake fell, Professor Neco stood panting, and Gyld felt a surge of admiration and excitement. The thrill of battle and the witnessing of his companions’ incredible abilities had his heart pounding in his chest.<br>
<br>
"Whoa!" Gyld exclaimed, his voice echoing across the icy expanse. "That was amazing! Phoebe, your chain lightning was like watching a storm unleashed! And Professor, I didn’t know you could move that fast! We’re like a force of nature!”<br>
<br>
Gyld was practically hopping from foot to foot in his excitement, the thorns and bark of his armor rustling with his movements.<br>
<br>
"Who needs to be vigilant for any more surprises?” Gyld said, trying to regain some semblance of focus and failing. “Because with the three of us together, we’re ready for anything this land has to throw at us!”<br>
<br>
Gyld could feel the energies he absorbed from the snake coursing through him, and his confidence was bolstered by the prowess of his companions. With a determined nod, Gyld trudged ahead through the snow, keen eyes scanning the surroundings as the trio pressed on toward their destination.<br>
<br>

Despite the less than desirable subject matter he seemed upbeat enough, at the assessment that no one had been injured.

</blockquote><br>
As Professor Neco's voice broke through the aftermath of the brief skirmish, Gyld's attention turned toward him. The professor's calm demeanor and reassuring words seemed to anchor Gyld, who had been riding a wave of adrenaline. The barren landscape around them seemed to quiver with the silence that followed the intense clash with the ice snakes.<br>
<br>
"Yeah, I'm great!" Gyld replied energetically, the thorny armor he had conjured earlier now receding into his skin, as if it were being absorbed back into his body. He looked over at Phoebe with a wide grin, his chest puffed out with pride. "And, shockingly enough, Phoebe is more than just okay, she's electric!" He shorted at his own horrible joke. <br>
<br>
Gyld's attention was momentarily drawn to the fallen ice snakes that lay scattered around them. The remnants of the fierce lightning attack that had felled them still crackled through the air. Gyld's gaze swept across the snow-covered landscape, and his mind began to churn with practicality.<br>
<br>
He turned towards Professor Neco and Phoebe with a wide grin, his voice resonating with a playful yet earnest tone. "However," he began, gesturing with a large black talon at the lifeless serpents, "It's best not to leave the corpses behind. Free food tends to attract scavengers and predators who are scavenging." His large golden eyes twinkled as they moved between the pair. "So do you want them for your research or do I get them for another meal or three?" he asked, his eyebrows arched in a hopeful expression.<br>

			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">Gyld's face lit up with enthusiasm. "Bon appétit to me, then!" he declared. He spread his arms wide and began to chant under his breath. A swirling vortex of energy began to materialize around him, the air heavy with the taste of arcane power.<br>
<br>
As Gyld focused, the ethereal tendrils of his Devour ability reached out and wrapped around the fallen ice snakes. One by one, they were lifted from the snow and pulled toward him, where they disappeared into the vortex.<br>
<br>
As the last serpent vanished, Gyld exhaled deeply, his body absorbing the energies. A look of satisfaction spread across his face as if he had just partaken in a feast fit for a king.<br>
<br>
"Well, that was delightful," Gyld commented with a pat on his stomach. His eyes gleamed with renewed vigor, and a hint of frost could be seen in his breath. The Devour ability had done more than satiate his hunger; it had granted him a deeper attunement with the icy environment around them.<br>
<br>
Gyld nodded at his companions, ready to continue their journey. His steps were filled with an increased sense of purpose, as they ventured deeper into the treacherous yet enticing wilderness.</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div><br>
Gyld listened intently as Professor Neco mentioned the increase in ice snake dens being an indication that they were getting closer to their destination. The mention of spider pits, however, made him raise an eyebrow. His excitable demeanor didn’t falter, but there was a glint of curiosity and caution in his eyes.<br>
<br>
"Spider pits, huh? I do like crab, something about snapping their exoskeletons and sucking the meat out is very satisfying. Are these spiders meaty on the inside?” Gyld remarked. He bent down to pick up a small rock in his beak, tossing it into the air with a flip of his neck. “Thanks for the heads up, Professor!”<br>
<br>

			Presuming the group was ready to go again, Neko would gather his composure and start the trek down the slope that was starting at the top of the incline they had been walking up prior, and on the high point they could see there there was still quite a bit of way st ogo in the snow, however up ahead in the far distance there appeared to be several strange stone alignments of all shapes and sizes placed in a circular motion around a flatter clearing in the white expanse. Some of the stones had symbols on them which were glowing hues of blue as if to suggest some sort of dormant energy, all the details weren't very clear from the distance they were at however. What it meant was anyone’s guess.

</blockquote><br>
Gyld, his spirits running high, began leading the way, the thorny bark covering his body rustling with each step. He felt invincible and ready for anything the icy wilderness might throw at them. His heart was racing with anticipation as they continued onward, closer to the seashore and the mysteries that awaited them.<br>
<br>
Gyld's eyes widened with curiosity as he beheld the mysterious stone formations in the distance. His boundless energy made him practically bounce on his feet as they made their way down the slope. The air was crisp, and the crunch of snow beneath their boots was the only sound that accompanied them for a while.<br>
<br>
"Oooh, what do you suppose that is?" Gyld questioned, pointing enthusiastically toward the strange stone alignments. His gaze was fixed on the symbols glowing with hues of blue. It was as if something ancient and powerful was calling out to him. Gyld couldn't contain his excitement. With an impish grin, he turned to Phoebe and Professor Neco. "Well, I say we ought to check it out!" <br>
<br>
Without closing his eyes, he leapt into the frosty air seemingly fueling his vigor. He turned his thoughts to the Eternal Glade domain, a realm of boundless nature and bounty. He felt the connection with the ancient forest, where he, as a Spiritual Beast, drew his powers. His body shimmered and shifted, bones cracking and his bear hind quarters withered away as Gyld's form changed into that of a majestic owl, with feathers the color of the deep forest and eyes that gleamed like emeralds.<br>
<br>
With a flap of his powerful wings, Gyld leapt a hundred feet into the sky. The world below opened up before him. His new owl vision, sharp and unerring [Heighten Sense (Eye Booster x2)<br>
+ 360 degree sight], allowed him to see the landscape with incredible clarity and detail in panoramic detail.<br>
<br>
As he leapt over to the strange stones, Gyld’s spiritual connection to nature and his knowledge of the land puzzled out what his senses where telling him. Trying to figure out how the stones were interacting with the surrounding terrain. Trying to make sense of the ebb and flow of magical energies beneath the earth and the way these energies mixed with the natural elements [Spirit Beast Education F: Nature, Survival, Religion]. <br>
<br>
Gyld circled back to the group, gracefully landing near Professor Neco and Phoebe. His form shimmered once more as he transformed back into his usual self.<br>
<br>
OOC: <br>
<br>
Gyld is happy to use Devour F to eat the other serpents if no one is interested, it's better then leaving free food around for whatever else might be out hunting. Also covers their tracks better (Devour F + Survival F + Nature F). <br>

<span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">Languages: Common | [Terran]</span></b></span></span></b>​</div><hr>As her lightning bolt hit the first snake and fried it until the distinctive smell of charred flesh joined the forest-y smell emanating from Gyld, the electricity festered until jumping to its next target. However, to her surprise, not one but two more bolts of electricity shot forth, one at the third snake and the other at a seemingly random spot in the snow. She didn't have to wait long to wonder why that was the case, as yet another snake emerged out of the snow writhing. Phoebe readied herself to cast another spell, but it was ultimately unnecessary, as it was soon diced up by the Professor. Phoebe let out a sigh of relief.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">"Yea, I'm alright Professor, thanks to the both of you."</span> </b>The pink haired mage then relaxed her stance as the boost of adrenaline was wearing off and as the two complimented her magical prowess. <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>"Ah, well thank you, though I'm not as talented as a mage as yourself Professor. That was also quite the display yourself Gyld."</b></span> With their performance against the snakes, she couldn't help but share just a bit of the confidence that Gyld was espousing in their success in their mission. Hopefully the White Bear fight wouldn't be too bad and that they wouldn't need to fight off many more snakes on the way there either, not to mention the spiders. She shivered at the thought. They always had way too many eyes for her liking.<br>
<br>
That's when Gyld brought up the matter of the snake corpses. Phoebe didn't see any harm in letting Gyld eat another 3 snakes, but then again the Professor might want to dissect them. <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>"Oh no, my field of research isn't on monster physiology, I don't have a use for them." </b></span>She then looked over to the Professor, letting him decide what to do about the snakes before they went on their way to their destination.<br>
<br>
After a little while of trekking through the white wilderness, they sighted something that broke the pattern of the pure white landscape, several pillar looking structures. There was no way that thing was a naturally occurring structure, if it wasn't the size and shape of the stones that conveyed that then the glowing blue symbols on them did.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>"A ritual site of some sort perhaps?" </b></span>That was her guess to Gyld's question, who then proposed they check it out. <b><span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">"Wait a- ah, there he goes..." </span></b>Her call came a little too late as Gyld assumed owl form and flew off to the stone structure. <b><span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">"Well, I can't say I blame him. Such a curious structure in the middle of the wilderness, I'd be lying if I said didn't want to go check it out too." </span></b>She turned to Professor Neco. <b><span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">"Shall we go catch up with him?" </span></b><br>

That went well. The noble woman, Eliza, believed Orchid without a hitch and even gave Orchid useful directions to find Victorique. Sure her bodyguards were antsy, but they <i>should</i> be given their job and what recently had happened. Which just reminds Orchid all the more that she needed to hurry and find Victorique. There was definately something afoot, and if Orchid could track Victorique, then surely whoever is responsible for this is also keeping tabs on the girl. So Orchid went back to the rooftops, heading to the fort and presumably, wherever Victorique was at.<br>
<br>
Orchid doubts she'll have an easier time getting through here. This place was suitably secured, and Orchid doesn't know enough about the local laws to think she could bluff her way through. She'll have to wait around here for Victorique to show up, and stay out of sight in case and guards were around watching. But just as well, Orchid figured she'd be on watch as well. That execution was stated to start soon so if anyone was going to do anything to either free the prisoner or try and take him out, it might happen now. Plus Orchid was still uncertain what those Grey Hoods were doing or their purpose, so for all she knew they may be nearby as well. All of this could be happening right now, so Orchid stayed on the rooftop, observing the fort to see if she can finds Victorique or anything else amiss.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">Kane Blackburne</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/crop-1-1-1-jpg.1098767/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1035/1035897-dd24894ecc7f82a7319ffe3d22cc8746.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="crop-1-1-1.jpg" title="crop-1-1-1.jpg" width="100" height="204" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"Yeah yeah don't mention it.." </span>Kane said, seemingly able to hold Victorique up on his back with the way he braced himself. Even if he wasn't very powerful yet he could do that much, growing up in a place like the Kingdom would naturally demand a pretty active life style from anyone who wasn't in part of the people who were living the most financially well off lives.  Irrspectively Kane was playing it off like it wasn't a big deal to him which perhaps it wasn't. Was it about a lack of self respect? Or perhaps it was because he felt so low he didn't really care what others thought of him. Him mouthing off to important people certainly didn't suggest that self preservation was a top concern of his, that combined with his rather pessimistic view point on the future, perhaps that's why it had culminated the way it had for him. Kane just hoped she could get to the bottom of it soon enough, he knew that the time was getting closer and closer and there were bound to be quite a few people out there already, where he'd normally be waiting himself for the  days events to take place.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(9, 113, 230)">Adriano Talton</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/0bf38efb-2953-4e51-b1bc-73218cead689-png.1098492/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1035/1035622-cfcde2f0b8986145418d86d3e5d0d73c.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="0bf38efb-2953-4e51-b1bc-73218cead689.png" title="0bf38efb-2953-4e51-b1bc-73218cead689.png" width="100" height="150" loading="lazy"></a>​</div>Adriano appeared to at least calm down ever so slightly as Victorique spoke to him, perhaps it was because she was so well composed with her reasoning, and she sounded professional like the idea that he could really be helped was possibly was slowly opening up in his mind. He slowly sat himself up and clenched his fists as he listened to her reasoning.<br>
<br>
Victorique's abilities would prove to be effective in reading some information about him. As far as she could tell with her ability, he was telling the truth as far as his recollection of events went, at least there wasn't anything made obvious that he was lying, which was a good sign as far as her case was going. As far as reading his titles went the first and foremost prominent one was the one which said that he was a<b> [House Talton Member]</b> proving that he had some form of Talton noble blood in him. The other title of course of interest was the <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><b>[Murderer F]</b> </span>which appeared to be affixed to his title 'profile' which Victorique was viewing. The low grade of the murder title at the very least suggested that he hadn't killed anyone too important or many people at that, but just the same, there were many variables which could have gotten him the title to consider which were no doubt going through Victorique's mind after finding this information out.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(9, 113, 230)">"I just...I Just don't want to accept something so..horrible like that, my body..being used to kill someone like that..It sickens me.."</span> He let out a disturbed tense look on his face now. In that moment from an outsiders view he looked even more pale than usual with that thought like the very idea was just sinking into him then and ther as Victorique spoke so matter of fact about it, that whether he liked it or not they weren't exactly going to be disproving that his body did it.<br>
<br>
He listened intently to her next point as well, he did eventually look up toward the area where she was looking in from.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(9, 113, 230)">"First of all, for the whole house I'm not sure what their opinion is of me but  I wouldn't put it past that Hrobert Cecil terrible one as far as I'm concerned you see he's had his eyes on Eliza for quite some time now, but Affonso won't hear anything of it, far as I'm concerned Eliza should stay far far away from House Cecil too nothing but trouble."</span> He said with a bit of a scowl.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(9, 113, 230)">"I don't know about the reasons for it but what you just said was my experience, could have been a monster, no idea.."</span> He said almost a bit frustrated toward the end.<br>
<br>
But not too long after that he went back into thought, "Now that you mention it..the kid did look most unusual when I think about what I've been saying..they almost looked like they were in some sort of other wordly state..or like they weren't all there..I wish my memories were more clear but.."<br>
Adriano paused for a moment like he had a moment of realization on the matter. <span style="color: rgb(9, 113, 230)">"Yes...I do remember some details about who asked me for directions..I think it was a young girl, I suppose it's possible they could have been Fae, as I didn't really get a good look at her ears with her long hair her skin was fair..but if not that definitely human from what I could tell, a lot of gray clothing..a dress of sorts perhaps?"<br>
<br>
"As for them being two of them? I only remember the same one who asked me for directions...but something strange did happen, I seem to remember those gray eyes appearing a bit of a more reddish color  even if only for a moment before the next thing I knew I was.."</span> He winced like just thinking about it was physically painful for him, suggesting that he saw the red just before he remembered the supposed slaying just after he gained consciousness.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(9, 113, 230)">"I'm sure you right..there just has to be monsters or magic at play, I don't know how else this would have happened."</span> He said sounded a bit desperate toward the end of that. Ultimate argument at the very least seemed to help him stay on task.<br>
<br>
Kane eventually then spoke up once more.<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)"> "Listen, He's going to be due with me pretty soon, as well as some other people, so I hope you've got some master argument brewing with what he's been saying."</span> Kane said primarily to just keep Victorique updated at what was likely to transpire soon enough.<br>

<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">Professor Neco</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/screenshot-2023-05-02-at-11-31-35-pm-1-1-png.1098752/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1035/1035882-f36e4a40f0d1169d7c47d39cedc59c56.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 11.31.35 PM-1-1.png" title="Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 11.31.35 PM-1-1.png" width="100" height="149" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"I see, well I'm certainly pleased to hear that Gyld, I can tell that we're in good hands, your abilities continue to surprise and impress me."</span> Truthfully the Professor hadn't quite seen anything like the owl bear in his studies so this proclaimed guardian type was proving to be a most interesting person to spectate while they operated in the snowy landscape.<br>
---<br>
After slashing through the snake, and checking if everyone was okay, Professor Neco couldn't help but smile at Gyld's commentary  <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Why yes, I suppose between us we are like a force of nature as you say that, I suppose my cat like reflexes don't hurt any either from time to time."</span>  He replied with a bit of a grin. Indeed his speed was part the fact he was beast and what was probable was the other part of his abilities lied in the magic he mentioned which was apparently evident in his family line.<br>
<br>
He gave a friendly nod of confirmation when Gyld enthusiastically revealed that he was better than okay.<br>
<br>
He also looked to Phoebe and gave her a nod of confirmation as well. <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Glad to hear it, when the wildlife around here  get so close and aggressive it can be difficult to keep a safe distance without getting afflicted with something nasty."</span><br>
<br>
Before he continued,<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)"> "And while I appreciate the compliment Phoebe, I have no doubt that you have great potential and will likely ascend my capabilities even, call It..intuition but i find that I tend to be pretty accurate when it comes to this sort of thing from my experience." </span><br>
<br>
By the time Gyld was saying that Phoebe was electric he chuckled once more, "<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">That's certainly a way to put it, and indeed between us three  with our teamwork I we can overcome any would be threats on this journey.."</span> He said reassuringly to the group.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"And I do suppose you're right Gyld it would be better to make use of those bodies then to leave them around here to attract more unwanted attention, I am in a similar boat to Phoebe in that I do not mind, please feel free, I already have a few of these preserved back at my lab..so I'm not lacking."</span> This owl bear certainly had a powerful appetite! As they were unclaimed Professor Neco appeared to observe Gyld once more as he ate them, watching the shift with great interest..depending on what he saw that would aid them in the upcoming brawl against the bear of white.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Surprisingly crab would be a good way to describe the erm..'meat' content...having dissected some they are a deal larger than your usual spider so there's a good amount there, but I think if we stay the way we're headed we won't need to engage any of those many-legged friends." </span><br>
<br>
Gyld was left unopposed as he made his way with grand movements across the landscape, the weather still participating thankfully as the group moved together forward, and the stones came into sight.<br>
<br>
Before the professor could really properly respond to Gyld he was off to the races heading over. The good professor then looked over at Phoebe with a bit of a meek smile  <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Indeed, he seems to be pretty excited, your thoughts don't seem far off, what I think this means is that we are awfully close to the white bear, and if you can feel that shift in the air..it's a bit cooler, we're quite close to the coastal line now.."</span> Professor Neco's ears twitched a bit as he continued with  a nod, <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Indeed I can hear it from here.. with that note I say yes, we should go catch up with him."</span> Some enhanced hearing at work no doubt.<br>
<br>
Gyld's transformed form would let him see the snowy landscape in greater detail, there didn't appear to be any threats hiding in the snow from that. In addition it'd let him see what suggested the start of a coastal area in the distance. When he honed in on the strange rock structures, he'd see a many symbols at work,, it almost looked like they were depicting some sort of story, with primitive figures with spears shown hunting what looked like what could only be described as a large monstrous bear, each stone in the central circle corresponding to some part of the narrative it was seemingly trying to tell.  One of them depicting  the primitive   arming themselves with spears, another one  depicting them building structures that sort of looked like igloos, and another one instead of hunting the large bear, they and other smaller  animals looked like they were fleeing the bear, none of what was shown was in detail, instead more like glowing silhouettes. The symbols and text beyond that didn't appear to be in a an obvious well known language. <br>
<br>
Thanks to Gyld's other ability <b>Spirit Beast Education</b> He'd tell that something was seemingly ancient was calling to him, the energy felt like a much more potent version of what he had encountered with the snakes. There appeared to be something..perhaps dormant and powerful related to the stones nearby.<br>
<br>
By the time Gyld circled back, Professor Neco would inquire, <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Learn anything of interest? I can't say I've seen these before, perhaps it really is ritual related like you said..Any thoughts Phoebe?" </span><br>
<br>
As the trio grew closer, what Gyld had seen would become more obvious to Professor Neco and Phoebe, even more strangely, there appeared to be what could only be described as a faint blue glow of four sizable bear paws in the center of the circle of alignments as the group got closer.<br>

Orchid successfully got through the interaction without getting cut indeed, she had been doing very well as acting as eyes in the shadows as far as gathering information had gone, who would have thought an Orc of all would have just the skillset needed to be effective in this task? <br>
<br>
Given the positioning of how Orchid had appeared to talk to Eliza, some people in the far back of the crowd did see her talk, and then get back to the roof tops, but given the fact that nobody was freaking out, they could only assume she was some sort of adventurer there for reasons like many others were so that didn't seem to cause any issues in the crowd at least other than some pointing and murmurs from the group of people wondering what her purpose was. Perhaps she was a mercenary working for the Taltons? Who really knew, but whatever it was those who saw weren't very interested in getting involved in that business, much easier to keep a low profile and go about your lives in a Kingdom like Rotia, rather than risk stirring the pot.<br>

<div style="text-align: center"><b>Dungeon Entrance Guards</b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/screenshot-2023-07-02-at-1-04-57-am-png.1098770/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1035/1035900-759dcc6538c79fb8e2f9e78483bf8f44.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screenshot 2023-07-02 at 1.04.57 AM.png" title="Screenshot 2023-07-02 at 1.04.57 AM.png" width="100" height="115" loading="lazy"></a>​</div>Orchid would eventually get to a spot on the roofs over near where the entrance to where Eliza had described, the squareish stone structure with the door which now had a couple of guards out front who looked similar to the ones which she had asked directions from except they looked younger and only one had a much shorter beard than the one with the longer one and pole arm she had spoken too, the other one was clean shaven. They appeared to be speaking in Terran which wasn't exactly the most helpful for her eavesdropping purposes. On the other hand they didn't look up to see where she was which was decidedly a benefit.<br>
<br>
After some time of waiting and not too much happening, suddenly the varying height gray hoods appeared from the shadows on either side of the stone structure, now six of them total, the stouter one and taller one both looked like they were sneaking up on the guards outside of the dungeon entrance area, as suddenly the stout one on the left side of the structure moved very quickly forward and swiftly stabbed one of the guards in the side causing out a gasp of pain! While the other guard turned to try to respond with an attack  to assist, the taller more lithe  gray hood wrapped an arm around the other guard and started to try to choke them out! While the guards were fighting those two, several other of the Gray hoods rapidly moved by entering into the entrance, as somehow it looked like one of them had gotten a key even if it hadn't been visually obvious, as they moved into the space it sounded like a larger fight was breaking out!  If there was a time for Orchid to jump into action somehow now was probably the time. Just below where she was on the roof was a large vacant cart with an open top filled with some sort of grassy looking material similar to hay.<br>

<br>
<b>Languages:</b> Common | &lt;Beastial&gt; | [Terran] | {Sylvan} <br>
<br>
It was almost insulting to see Kane brace himself. She hated to admit it, but she was really bloody small and unlike some other halfling counter-parts, not exactly chubby. Her weight should be negligible right now! Anyhow and either way, she had another dude to focus on than the one underneath her feet.<br>
<br>
Well, one theory seemed voided. The dude had a [Murder F] title, so there likely hadn't been an illusion at play and a fake dead body. He'd really killed someone. Yet was it the same 'kid' that led him to the walls, perhaps also influenced by those tendril things, or a monster posed as one? The latter option felt more likely, but she couldn't exclude the former. She clicked her tongue. That was sub-optimal. As for him not wanting to accept it, she didn't mince her words. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You've got no choice. If you don't accept it, you'll only sound more suspicious and folk will continue to refuse hearing you out. The sooner you accept this happened and get your story straight, the more it will help your defence.”</b></span><br>
<br>
The whole 'other noble house' still felt a bit off. She couldn't decide on whether it was feasible for them to be involved yet, which was bugging her. It'd be a key argument to make, had she any evidence to support it, but alas, she was left empty-handed. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Indeed, magic, monsters or a combination of the two.”</b></span> She reaffirmed his final sentence. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Stick to that story. No more 'I'm innocent' but 'I was made to do it beyond my own will' instead. That might at least help some people doubt the current story enough to buy some time. Of course the fact that those tendrils were there might even further help your argument, but ideally, I'd like to find out just what lured you towards them.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She clicked her tongue. She had so preciously little to go off on. She got off of Kane's back again, putting on her shoes. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I know, I've got a decent argument, but it feels like I'm missing some important pieces. I can prove that he was made to do it, but not by what exactly or how exactly. Knowing those two things would really help the case forwards.”</b></span> She sighed. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Okay, this girl. Can we confirm the one killed was also a girl? Did she sound like the description he just gave? Do you know, or do you know someone that knows? The grey eyes turning more reddish might indicate magic at play, but it could be both a type of mind control, an alternate identity, an illusion... It doesn't give clear enough direction...”</b></span><br>
<br>
She didn't like this. She wanted to figure out the motive for making Adriano murder someone and right now she only had three guesses. A noble house's rivalry, using monsters and/or magic against him. A monster's solo action, just being a monster. Or, the worst option, a part of a more permanent attack, an interruption of the balance and first strike of an attack. Perhaps even just a test case. After all, it did seem to also start grabbing a hold of Eliza, so this wasn't Adriano exclusive.<br>
<br>
Wait, if it wasn't Adriano exclusive... <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“If it also affected Eliza, it wasn't targetted at Adriano in specific, so either it'd have to be targeted at their entire house or it'd have nothing to do with their house at all... I'd deem the latter option likelier. I think this really is just the action of a monster.”</b></span> If this was due to someone from the House supposedly liking Eliza, he'd have been a blasted fool to use magic/monsters that could also endanger Eliza herself, after all. <br>
<br>
Still, she doubted she could locate that monster thus far. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'll need to try talking to the folk that discovered the body. Is there any chance we can still do so?”</b></span> She'd ask Kane. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Also, while we're heading there, do share me what you know about the laws here. I know some law</b></span> (D) <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>myself, but I'd like to be as informed as possible. It seems like we might end up going into this with far less evidence than I'd desire, but not so little as that it'd be an impossible case. We just need to use what we have carefully and at the right moments.”</b></span><br>
<br>
As she was about to leave, she called out to Adriano once more. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Remember, your body killed her, not your mind. Your body was forced to do it. If you stick with that story and let me handle the rest, you shouldn't have much to worry about. Also, if your brother tries to come free you, tell him to fuck off. He'll only get you and himself incriminated with actual crimes. Ones that I won't be able to get you out off. Trust me, he's not in his right mind at the moment, so you'll want to be the saner one of the two, for both your sakes.”</b></span> She told him (Ultimate Argument again) as she couldn't risk having him incriminate himself further.</div>

			Gyld's transformed form would let him see the snowy landscape in greater detail, there didn't appear to be any threats hiding in the snow from that. In addition it'd let him see what suggested the start of a coastal area in the distance. When he honed in on the strange rock structures, he'd see a many symbols at work,, it almost looked like they were depicting some sort of story, with primitive figures with spears shown hunting what looked like what could only be described as a large monstrous bear, each stone in the central circle corresponding to some part of the narrative it was seemingly trying to tell. One of them depicting the primitive arming themselves with spears, another one depicting them building structures that sort of looked like igloos, and another one instead of hunting the large bear, they and other smaller animals looked like they were fleeing the bear, none of what was shown was in detail, instead more like glowing silhouettes. The symbols and text beyond that didn't appear to be in a an obvious well known language.<br>
<br>
Thanks to Gyld's other ability <b>Spirit Beast Education</b> He'd tell that something was seemingly ancient was calling to him, the energy felt like a much more potent version of what he had encountered with the snakes. There appeared to be something..perhaps dormant and powerful related to the stones nearby.<br>
<br>
By the time Gyld circled back, Professor Neco would inquire, <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Learn anything of interest? I can't say I've seen these before, perhaps it really is ritual related like you said..Any thoughts Phoebe?" </span>

</div><br>
Gyld, still brimming with the exhilaration of flight, had his excitement level shoot even higher upon his landing. His eyes danced with anticipation as he shared the knowledge gleaned from his aerial vantage point. "Oh, Professor, Phoebe, ye wouldn’t believe what I saw! There be stones with symbols and drawings! A tale of primitive folks, spears, and a great big bear! And, oh the energies! It calls to me very soul, like the whisper of the <b>Huorns</b>,” Gyld's words tumbled out in an animated jumble as he motioned and gestured to describe what he saw. His usually boisterous demeanor seemed even more amplified, fueled by the excitement of discovery.<br>
<br>
Gyld, with his golden eyes sparkling like the morning sun against dew-kissed leaves, stood tall and sturdy amidst the snow-filled landscape. The wild vigor of the Eternal Glade domain was present in every inch of his physique, his every movement echoing the untamed spirit of nature.<br>
<br>
His face was painted with an infectious enthusiasm, which brought a certain warmth to the otherwise stark surroundings. His features reflected an assortment of emotions, from the thrill of discovery to the raw curiosity for the unknown. It was clear that every fiber of his being was engaged with the expedition, his energy untamed and unyielding like the river coursing through an age-old forest.<br>
<br>
The vast expanse of snow around them, interrupted occasionally by the varying shapes of icy rocks and stray shrubs, mirrored the uniform grey of the overcast sky above. Despite the dull, monotonous color scheme, the landscape held an inexplicable charm to him with the promise of uncovered secrets and untold stories breathed life into their surroundings. And in the center of it all, stood Gyld, looking every bit the embodiment of an adventuring owlbear, ready to delve deeper into the mysteries this icy world held.<br>
<br>
"Let's just rush in there and see what happens. I'm sure the heart of the ruins should respond to us."</div>

This was certainly a strange situation Orchid found herself in, she knew a stake out tends to be long and boring so she was going to make herself comfortable, snacking on a meat bun she had stashed away for just the occasion. It was dry and in need of some sauce, but it kept well and had a bit of spice to it. Naturally of course, only after taking her first bite did some weirdness begin to happen. Or more accurately, violence. Those grey cloaks from before came out and immediately started killing guardsmen, with more going inside. This was time for Orchid to act: those people likely would reach Victorique, and possibly the noble murderer within. Though there was a haycart below her, Orchid had no need for it as she drew her poleaxe, donned her helmet, and aimed herself downwards towards the graycloaks. With her powerful legs (Jump B), Orchid could easy reach them and land without issue. As she flew towards them, she spun her poleaxe above her head, aiming to hit the Graycloaks with a Wind Wheel attack. She swung for the Greycloak's legs, and while not exactly "nonlethal", she was mainly aiming to maim them instead of outright killing them, since she wanted to ask questions. Plus she wanted to help these guardsmen, so she needed to act fast.<br>
<br>
Speaking of acting fast, one of those guardsmen just got shanked in the ribs. Taking a moment to help him, she took out one of her special meat buns and shoved it into his mouth. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Sorry about this chum, but you'll want to eat this quickly. It ought to help you back on your feet."</span> Orchid then faced the Graycloaks, getting ready for a fight, either with these two at the door or anymore that might've hung back to stop her. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Don't know who you folks are but I'm only giving this one chance: drop your weapons and scatter! I won't chase you, and I won't kill you, but if you go any further into this dungeon I'll strike you down !" </span>Readying her Poleaxe, Orchid tried to gauge what exactly these greycloaks had on them in terms of equipment and possibly identifying marks. And if more were coming. Last thing she wants is to get blind sided by some sort of monster or mech.<br>
<br>
Action 1 - Jump down to the Dungeon gate.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">Kane Blackburne</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/crop-1-1-1-jpg.1102216/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1039/1039346-dd24894ecc7f82a7319ffe3d22cc8746.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="crop-1-1-1.jpg" title="crop-1-1-1.jpg" width="100" height="204" loading="lazy"></a>​</div>Kane was naturally pretty unaware of any thoughts that Victorique was having regarding that since his position in front of the holding area down there didn't really give him the best insight to body language nor was he a mind reader. All he could really do was listen and make due with what conversation Victorique was having with Adriano. Thankfully she was actually rather light, but it had been instinctual if anything ,as Kane eased up a bit gradually, his face looking focused if anyone was able to see it. Kane was of the belief that what Victorique was doing was probably the right thing here, it was better than to be safe than sorry, even if Kane didn't make it abundantly obvious at times, he did only want those who had actually done egregious things to face the proper justice at his hands. Him decapitating them was certainly better than many of the alternative means of death one could experience such as being tortured and killed by a monster, so in some ways his method of exit was much more merciful, so at least he had that going for him in his opinion.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(9, 113, 230)">Adriano Talton</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/0bf38efb-2953-4e51-b1bc-73218cead689-1-png.1102144/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1039/1039274-cfcde2f0b8986145418d86d3e5d0d73c.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="0bf38efb-2953-4e51-b1bc-73218cead689-1.png" title="0bf38efb-2953-4e51-b1bc-73218cead689-1.png" width="100" height="150" loading="lazy"></a>​</div>Adriano's grip tightened visibly as he looked back at the small viewing area toward Victorique as he eventually nodded as much as it appeared to bother him. <span style="color: rgb(9, 113, 230)">"You're..right I know you're right I Just..I just don't want to die."</span> He said the look on his face looking like one of desperation after that. <span style="color: rgb(9, 113, 230)">"I really don't want to die.."</span> he repeated. Even in a world like IH there were genuinely only so many people who were capable of bringing back the dead and they weren't exactly common, not to mention the logistics of the body needing to be in good enough condition..so even if death wasn't as final as other realms it was still a terrifying thought for some.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(9, 113, 230)">"I'll..do what you say, I keep the story straight...right now you're all I got..please you know I didn't do it, you have to figure this out, Just please  hurry..." </span>he continued sounding closer to the point like he might actually end up breaking down yet again, but even as those sorts of emotions edged on his face, it eventually shifted to one which was more determined.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(9, 113, 230)">"No..I will do exactly that, I won't for a moment even appear like I'm entertaining the idea that it was my fault, it was my body which was used by a weapon not my own choice!"</span> He sat up and reaffirmed more confidently, standing himself up right.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(9, 113, 230)">"I'll find out whatever did this, and I'll ensure that they pay for  that child's life and...sullying the Talton name like this.."</span> He said. If only words which had such strong conviction were capable of changing the circumstances, nevertheless..<br>
---<br>
As Victorique got off Kane he stood up and looked through the viewing space, <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"That's the spirit  Adriano, I can assure you Victorique knows what she's doing, you won't be seeing the block today like some real criminals will be." </span>Kane said with confidence in his voice, he was actually being rather supportive which might have been somewhat of a surprise given his past pessimistic  demeanor.<br>
<br>
Adriano looked back at Kane, a look on his face which wasn't exactly the most warm, as he responded<span style="color: rgb(9, 113, 230)"> "I suppose a Talton can take a wish of good fortune from you in such a dire time...thank you." </span>There was still a sentiment of  classism in the statement but at the very least it wasn't the practical disgust which Eliza had displayed earlier.<br>
<br>
Kane gave a nod in response, perhaps being a bit more laid back given how encumbered this guy was already given his dire situation.<br>
<br>
He then looked back to Victorique and focused on what she had to say about the situation, since she was talking to him. He pondered her question momentarily before his face lit up like he was having a realization.<br>
<br>
 <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"Yeah, actually, while I didn't see personally, there's this guy named Newt.  He was talking about two young girls outside nearby his tavern at night who looked kind of strange, and they looked very similar to one another, I over heard it anyway, some people were talking about it, this wasn't actually too far ago from when the murder took place and the descriptions sound similar to what Adriano was describing..Even if the guy isn't someone I really talk to a ton, it'll be pretty hard to miss him, I bet he's already waiting to watch the execution, seems like that sort of guy..but if he isn't he's at the tavern at the bar, that's where he usually operates, so chances are he'll be in either place so you can ask some more questions." </span>Kane explained.<br>
<br>
"As far as his description  being accurate to  who was killed..that information is a bit less well known, but I've heard it was a girl who was killed..regardless I can lead  you to Newt.."<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"If you want to talk to the person who found the body you'll probably need to talk to the head of the guard first to find out where that person is, since it was a Night guards who discovered the body and Adriano near it..if we're direct and focused I reckon there's enough time to talk to those you'd like too to get more information."<br>
<br>
"I mean yeah I can tell you some stuff about the law, can't say I exactly have a formal education in it, but, there's some stuff to know in Rotia."</span><br>
<br>
Before Kane and Victorique headed off, She spoke to Adriano and he seemed to nod at what Victorique said.<br>
<br>
Adriano eventually replied.. <span style="color: rgb(9, 113, 230)">"I...understand I don't want him getting involved and taking a fall like that for my sake..that would be a disaster.." </span><br>
---<br>
After Victorique and Kane started to move back to the entrance the way they had come, he started to explain to her about how when she had her evidence she'd need to make a formal appeal, and how part of the reason that Adriano was receiving this method of death was because of his status and the vicious nature of the killing. If they could prove that he had done it against his will while he still might need to do some sort of atonement to get his murderer title removed it wouldn't be anything too problematic if she could make her case as it was, best case scenario they could get his criminal title removed without atonement.<br>
<br>
However as Kane was explaining  and they got closer they could hear the commotion outside echoing through the halls when they got close enough.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">"Something's going on out there, I'm gonna go ahead and see what's up..I dunno about your combat capabilities but depending on how this goes, might need to get ready for it.."</span> Kane gripped his axe which was on his back, getting ready to take it out if need be as he moved forward.<br>
---<br>
Orchid's movement thankfully went off without a hitch due to her skill set and grade. She was certainly capable in making the jump unharmed.<br>
<br>
Kane got close enough to the entrance just in time to see Orchid start attacking the cloaked ones. The one who had been using the key jumped back from the gate at seeing the Orc come down and start attacking their comrades. That hood seemed intimidated by Orchid's perceived strength and ferocity. However while that hood moved out of the way, Orchid's Windwheel attack struck the hood who had shanked the guard causing blood to spew from their legs as they moved back, a nasty slash across had been bestowed as they fell over, the other one who was  on the other side had been hit as well.<br>
<br>
The hoods quickly tried to reorganize themselves, with the exception of the injured one who was bleeding quite a bit who had fallen over. <span style="color: rgb(163, 143, 132)">"We've been compromised!"</span>  one in the back called out in Terran.<br>
<br>
The guard who had been bleeding out tried his best to eat what Orchid told him to eat, the bun was more than sufficient to quickly heal his injuries, meanwhile the other hood had stopped trying to choke out of the other guard who now gasped for breathe and brandished his spear at the hoods.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b>Dungeon Entrance Guards</b><br>

<span style="color: rgb(209, 72, 65)">"T-Thank you."</span> the somewhat now looking pale guard who had been stabbed said, it looked like she had gotten to him just in the nick of time as he looked like he was doing a lot better, finally able to stand up as well as he healed, brandishing his spear as well eventually.<br>
<br>
Kane now brandished his axe too as he came out, looking at the hoods, after having opened the gate from the inside.<br>
<br>
From an outward appearance when Orchid looked she'd probably notice that many of them appeared to be carrying one or more daggers, none of them seemed to be using heavy equipment from an outward appearance.<br>
<br>
While there was an ongoing standoff now, as Orchid spoke and the guards readied their weapons. The hoods looked at each other minus the one who was on the ground bleeding, one of them dropped their two daggers and began to sprint away, another one followed suit, leaving only around 5 hoods left.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(151, 180, 186)">Affonso Talton</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/292906d0-33f8-4c58-8dd0-be594fbffbf4-png.1102212/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1039/1039342-c4dd0d6755b04e3b52d561fc2a8ab112.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="292906d0-33f8-4c58-8dd0-be594fbffbf4.png" title="292906d0-33f8-4c58-8dd0-be594fbffbf4.png" width="100" height="150" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
What might have been a surprise was when Affonso himself wearing no hood came out and looked at the group. <span style="color: rgb(151, 180, 186)">"And what is the meaning of this! I didn't tell you to do..whatever this is!"</span> He proclaimed looking genuinely upset.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(151, 180, 186)">"Which one of you dared to undermine my authority?!"</span> He then looked to Orchid, like he was surprised to see her there, looking to the one on the ground with the damaged leg, and then the guards and everything that was going on.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(151, 180, 186)">"I want you all to know now that I had nothing to do with this! They all acted independently! I was on my way here to see how the investigation was going." </span>He continued to spout, which while brazen probably didn't looking amazing for him.<br>
<br>
Just he confronted the hoods many more of them started to flee if they could, one presumably teleported in a bit of a blue flash, while a few others sprinted away like the other one had without a word only leaving an injured one and one unharmed one, it looked like they didn't want to get caught and prosecuted and heeded what Orchid had said now that the tides were shifting, it would only be time before more guards showed up with the alert..<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">"They're...getting away!" </span>The guard who had been choked out proclaimed, sounding frustrated like he had been unable to arrest them. It looked like they were right to run however, as a few more guards who looked similar to the entrance ones with spears started to show up. It looked like the guards just weren't quite fast enough or as agile as compared to the hoods.<br>

However he paused when Gyld came back and he listened to his now enthusiastic friend.<br>
<br>
He looked like he was in intense focus for the time being taking in the details that  the owl bear had shared, and then he listened to the follow up that Phoebe had provided. <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Between the details you've just shared, I believe I'm of a similar thought to what Phoebe is suggesting, I think this very well might be related to the great white bear we have been seeking out..and this might be our chance to get into communication with it. We're quite close to the coast now as I suspected we would be..so this should work out well for your purposes for being here too Phoebe..after we look into this bear business, I can assist you in your field research to make sure nothing nasty from the water causes any problems..."</span> He said in thought.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"While I agree this is a very exciting prospect, and we can head over swiftly enough, before you get too deep into the alignments, you should take careful note of how it appears to be reacting before you go in too deep as a precaution, everyone understand?" </span> It sounded like the good Professor was simply being cautious which was reasonable, there was no need to put themselves at greater risk than necessary.<br>
<br>
Professor Neco gradually followed Phoebe however he paused for a moment..like he felt some sort of grand presence wash over him which was well beyond his years, if  Gyld got close enough he would feel it too.. as well as Phoebe. When Professor Neco looked around at the stone imagery, over time it almost looked like it was animated, as if he could see the primitive figures moving, as well as the the animals sort of like live tapestry. If Gyld and Phoebe were to look carefully they'd notice the moving story too.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Could this..reference the people who lived here long ago?" </span>He inquired...before he too looked at the strange four large glowing paws which were on the ground of the center of the  circle of stone alignments.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"I see what you meant Gyld..this very much looks like based on my background knowledge of this land..people from long ago and the bear of white.."</span><br>
<br>
"<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">Yes..I think this is related to the bear we are searching for..and this quite unlike just anything I've ever seen before..Did you have any thoughts on these symbols..Phoebe or Gyld?"</span><br>
<br>
Phoebe's ability<b> Book Smarts </b> revealed to her that the glowing paws were some kind of magical triggers, how exactly they could be triggered was unknown but it would let her know that much. Perhaps if they were interacted with somehow physically or magically they would do something given their prominent location as they had some sort of function in that vein.<br>
<br>
The trio could feel the cool breeze blow across the landscape, there didn't appear to be much movement around them in the white expanse, this particular area being flatter gave a bit more omph to the wind, as they continued to investigate the area.<br>

Much to the surprise of Orchid, the greycloaks did indeed run away. Well, aside from the ones whom she broke their legs, but that was intended. She was at a bit of a lost at what to do as they began to scatter, and the guards were starting to rally. Well, she did say she wouldn't chase or kill the cloaks that gave up, so she wasn't about to take back her word now, but that doesn't mean she can't give the guards a helping hand. Now all that was left was to deal with the only Greyhood who decided to stay, which Orchid figured she ought to make an example out of. Flourishing her blade, Orchid went on the offensive.<br>
<br>
She dashed right to the lone Greyhood, her poleaxe raised as if she was about to chop his body in half. But instead of striking with the blade, Orchid jabbed the pommel of her Poleaxe, a quick strike aimed at the hood's sternum to crack ribs and knock the breath out of him. But this technique wasn't just meant to hurt the foe, but also trap him: immediately after the strike a blood red barrier would suddenly appear around him, preventing the greyhood from leaving unless he had the power to shatter her Blood Guard. But she could still harm him if she so desired, and was ready to finish him off when <i>another</i> surprise showed his face.<br>
<br>
It was the nobleman from before, the one who was with Eliza. Alfred or Alex, something that starts with an A. Orchid glanced over to him as he more or less incriminates himself in being involved, and sighs a little. Was this really the person that Victorique was working for? Not wanting to have to deal with the possibility of getting two Talton's executed today, Orchid spoke to the silver-haired noble. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Ah right, the investigation. As you can see we have things under control here. Why don't you head inside and speak to the investigator so we can get this story straighten out? Wouldn't want there to be anymore misunderstandings here, wouldn't we sir?"</span> Not wanting the guards to intercept and arrest the noble, Orchid took charge and started ordering the guards around. This was going to push the limits of her <i>Persuasion </i>E, but hopefully the other two guards can vouch for Orchid's competency.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Follow me men! They might've scattered, but I think I know where their base is. Be swift, before these rats vanish into the shadows."</span> Orchid was going to do her best to lead the guards towards that mech statue she had seen. She technically wasn't chasing any particular Greycloak, and if they're smart they might even avoid going there. But Orchid was hoping that she could give Victorique an opening to get the other noble out of trouble before the guards could arrest him for instigating this mess in the first place. If she's really fast maybe she'll even be able to come back and meet up with Victorique and debrief her on what information she does know.<br>
<br>
Before she leaves, she notes that executioner looking man with the axe was nearby. Orchid doesn't know him at all but he was helping Victorique, so she could only assume he's an ally. Orchid gives him a nod and motions to the two greycloaks here. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"I'll leave these two to you and the boss. I don't know how long you've spoken with her, but she's got a way with words. Keep her safe, I'll be right back." </span>After that she would head onto a nearby rooftop in order to give the guards a highly visible armored orc to look at so they know where to go without Orchid getting lost in a crowd.</div>

<br>
<b>Languages:</b> Common | &lt;Beastial&gt; | [Terran] | {Sylvan} <br>
<br>
She was glad to get some confirmation from Adriano. She'd already told him she'd got things covered, so she didn't feel the need to do so again. To that extend, she was more surprised when Kane suddenly gave Adriano his sympathies. Turns out the dude had even more of a heart than she gave him credit for. Heck, even Adriano replying was like... weird. It reminded her of a Christmas movie. Two enemies suddenly being chummy in desperate times, right before Christmas Eve. Come to think of it. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'll have you treat me to some of Kingdom's finest turkey, when this is over.”</b></span> She told Adriano, with no further context.<br>
<br>
What. The. Fuck. Kane's next revelation almost made her choke on her pipe. Well, scrap the almost. She coughed a lot as she tried to digest smoke and words alike. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Bloody hell, that certainly complicates things.”</b></span> She eventually managed to get out. She doubted for a moment. Was it worth pursuing this Newt? This was a big revelation, yet how much more would the guy himself know? She'd already knew this 'trap' might've existed prior to Adriano, further suggesting it was the work of monsters, not rivals.<br>
<br>
The night guards, however, might actually know more. The state of the body in particular. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Let's go to the night guards. Their knowledge might be more useful than what Newt might know. To that extend, if he saw them before... if this really is the work of monsters, he might not even be alive by now. If monsters are setting up these 'girls' to lure folk to these white strand things, they'd for sure get rid of anyone who'd spot them doing so early on. Besides, if he wants to see heads roll, I doubt he'll be easy to work with even if he's lucky enough to still be alive.”</b></span><br>
<br>
She took some notes, mental ones with [Eidetic Memory] on the law situation Kane described. With her own Law knowledge added to that, things should be good. When he mentioned a commotion, her answer was short. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I don't fight, I run.”</b></span> She shortly replied, entirely honest and without hesitation.<br>
<br>
As for the 'commotion' itself, she arrived just in time to see a somewhat familiar shape jump off in the distance. So much for strategising with allies. For a short moment, she wondered if this meant she'd not have to pay Orchid, then she realised she'd better do so regardless. Becoming Orc dinner wasn't fun and Orchid was probably helping in her own way, or so she hoped. <br>
<br>
She spotted Affonso as well, to her surprise. He didn't seem all that happy, but she didn't have time to deal with that. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You. I'm in a hurry, so listen up. Your brother was lured in by some sort of odd girl, possibly a monster posing as one, to an area near the wall where white strands sprouting from the ground were used to take over his body and kill the kid. I'm currently tracing back these kids, as there might be more of them, but I can't track down all. Your brother's been informed and should be able to buy some time with his testimony, but if you want to make yourself useful in the meantime, go find a guy named Newt and ask him for all he knows about seeing odd looking young girls outside his tavern, and I mean ALL he knows about it. That might give me some extra clues to help piece this together. I'll be questioning whomever found the body in the meantime.”</b></span> She used [Ultimate Argument B] against him as naturally as it was to breath. With her being salty about the fact that he hadn't trusted her and instead started messing with her investigation, she had absolutely no respect or patience left otherwise.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Also, if you want to know what just happened, use your bloody brain. You have enemies, right? They probably just planted some folk to get rid of you and your brother in one go. You were set-up by your enemies posing as allies.”</b></span> One didn't even need to be a detective to reach that conclusion. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Make sure to claim that and maybe you can be of use instead of getting arrested as well. If not, do me a favour and sent someone to Eliza to ask her to go question Newt.”</b></span><br>
<br>
That should be taken care off, to some degree. Honestly, she was salty enough to not even want to hear his answer. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Right, Kane, get me to the night guards, please. I'm done here.”</b></span> She replied, not even looking at Affonso. <br>

<br>
Her eyes slowly and methodically looked over the imagery on the stones around them as the Professor drew their attention to them, seemingly telling the tale of some ancient people. <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>"Hmm... If I may hazard a theory or two. I definitely agree that this place is somehow related to the White Bear and that this tapestry on the walls recounts the tale of how the ancient peoples of this land dealt with the White Bear. If these peoples were hunters of the White Bear, perhaps they constructed this place as a bear trap of sorts? A place to aid them in their hunt? Though if these peoples weren't hunters... I am not quite sure what to make of this structure then..." </b></span><br>
<br>
As Phoebe finished proposing her theory and while awaiting the response of her companions, her eyes once again wandered to the imagery on the stones, taking in all the detail she can. With so much in the air in regards to the people that built this structure and what their purpose for doing so was in the distant past, it would definitely be a worthwhile endeavor to investigate the imagery and glyphs further.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-characters-current.521140/post-11647974" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-characters-current.521140%2Fpost-11647974&amp;hash=f53fd4fcbd7a99770f42bbf73a7e80f6">Gyld Aza Lyrakien</a> </b>tried to listen attentively as his fellow explorers analyzed the details of their ancient surroundings. A web of anticipation threaded through his mind, akin to a leaf awaiting the morning dew. His eyes, amber orbs reflecting the ethereal glow emanating from the stone structures, scanned the inscriptions meticulously, his nature-attuned senses fully engaged. While Gyld was no linguist, his intimate connection with the world around him occasionally gave him insights that a regular scholar might miss.<br>
<br>
As Phoebe proposed her theories about the nature of the place and its past inhabitants, Gyld looked thoughtfully at the glow of the bear paws in the center of the stone circle. His intuition hummed in his chest like a resonant hymn, speaking of dormant energies and ancient wisdom etched into the very rocks surrounding them.<br>
<br>
His gaze then swept back towards the symbolic portrayal of the human figures and the massive bear. The way they moved, almost as if animated, gave the entire place an eerie sense of reality. It was as if they were standing in a time capsule, a snapshot of a long-gone era. A history told through luminescent silhouettes, reflecting an age-old struggle between man and beast.<br>
<br>
Turning to Professor Neco and Phoebe, Gyld prepared himself to contribute to their theories. His countenance was solemn and determined, reflecting his growing certainty about the hidden depths of this icy landscape and its connection to the White Bear they sought. The cool wind rustling through his hair and brushing against his skin carried stories of the past, whispering the tales of the hunters who had once braved these lands. Gyld had a feeling that the secrets lying dormant within these ancient stones couldn't be contained any longer! And neither could his childlike patience!<br>
<br>
Gyld turned to his companions, his eyes brimming with an audacious plan. "I think...I might have an idea," he said, his voice hinting at the boldness of his proposal. "It's a bit... unconventional, but I feel that it's a path worth exploring."<br>
<br>
With that, Gyld straightened his posture, his demeanor shifting as the subtle yet potent magic of the Eternal Glade began to swirl around him. "I'm going to try something...bear with me," he added, a hint of playfulness sneaking into his voice despite the seriousness of their situation.<br>
<br>
Then, right before their eyes, Gyld began his transformation. His massive form shimmered as if enveloped in a mirage, his visage distorting and reshaping. Muscle and sinew twisted, grew, and hardened as his owlbear body gave way to that of a massive bear. His fur, once a mix of mottled brown and white, turned to a lustrous monochromatic sheen, like the perfect sculpture of a bear forged from green jade. Unfortunately the Eternal Glade didn't really do white.<br>
<br>
Finally, as the transformation magic settled, the figure standing before Phoebe and Professor Neco was not Gyld, the owlbear, but a majestic bear, his eyes still glowing with Gyld's characteristic golden light. Taking a moment to adjust to his new form, Gyld - now in his bear form - moved with a lumbering grace, his massive paws making soft crunches in the snow as he approached the glowing bear paw prints at the center of the circle.<br>
<br>
He paused at the edge of the prints, glancing back at his companions before stepping into them. A ripple of anticipation ran through him as his paws connected with the prints. Whether this would trigger anything or not, Gyld wasn't certain. However, he knew he had to try. As a guardian of the Eternal Glade, he felt it was his responsibility to unravel this mystery, not just for their quest, but also for the legacy of the ancient people who had once hunted the White Bear.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Orchid’s attack and detainment method proved to be effective on the greyhound who she targeted as he let out a swift cry as he was struck and then stuck,  bits of blood flying out of his mouth. It looked like the light armor wasn’t doing a great job at dealing with her pommel probably due to her strength and grade. Orchid was, after all, quite strong. The Greyhood after struggling to breathe continued to try to move around but there wasn’t really much use there, being thoroughly disabled by Orchid’s move.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(151, 180, 186)">Affonso Talton</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/292906d0-33f8-4c58-8dd0-be594fbffbf4-png.1105861/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1042/1042991-c4dd0d6755b04e3b52d561fc2a8ab112.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="292906d0-33f8-4c58-8dd0-be594fbffbf4.png" title="292906d0-33f8-4c58-8dd0-be594fbffbf4.png" width="100" height="150" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
When Orchid spoke to Affonso he did a double take practically, looking up at her. <span style="color: rgb(151, 180, 186)">“I suppose you do have things under control here.”</span> He said almost sounding indignant once again.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(151, 180, 186)">“These fools got what they deserved unable, to follow simple orders, It wouldn’t surprise me if they were working against my family from the start.” </span>He continued.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(151, 180, 186)">“And no I do not want any more misunderstandings..” </span>Affonso grumbled. He didn’t even look at the hooded figures after his initial outburst, ignoring them completely, as he made his way toward the entrance since presumably that is where Orchid had been speaking about. However the Talton noble didn’t need to go all that far before he saw the investigator before him.<br>
<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b>Guards</b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/screenshot-2023-07-02-at-1-04-57-am-png.1105862/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1042/1042992-759dcc6538c79fb8e2f9e78483bf8f44.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screenshot 2023-07-02 at 1.04.57 AM.png" title="Screenshot 2023-07-02 at 1.04.57 AM.png" width="100" height="115" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
<br>
The guards were a bit surprised by what Orchid had to say at first but one of them perked up when she dropped intelligence on where the hideout of the cloaks were.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“Well you heard her men, the Orc knows where the base is, and she’s done a finer job than you two, let’s get a move on!”</span><br>
<br>
Some of the other guards dropped a ‘yes sir’ before they began to head in the general direction of where Orchid was going.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“Look at the rooftops and do not lose sight of her!”</span><br>
<br>
Two of the guards did stay back however and properly arrest the hoods, probably to bring them in for questioning as with the state Orchid and others had left them in they were easily enough subdued and placed in metal binds.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">Kane Blackburne</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/crop-1-1-1-jpg.1105864/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1042/1042994-dd24894ecc7f82a7319ffe3d22cc8746.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="crop-1-1-1.jpg" title="crop-1-1-1.jpg" width="100" height="204" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Kane at first wasn’t entirely sure what to make of Orchid, but it seemed like she was there to help, better yet she looked like she actually knew who Victorique was meaning that she was probably a friendly since she called her boss. He definitely did approve of the orc’s combat ability regardless as he gave a somewhat casual  thumbs up back to her. <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Gotcha and don’t worry I won’t let anyone lay a finger on her.” </span>He proclaimed.<br>
<br>
He then looked to the guards, <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Well you guys know what to do, I’d definitely put them in the cell, who knows depending on things go with the inquisitor when this is all said and done, maybe they’ll end up on my block too.”</span> Kane said with a grimly smug look.<br>
<br>
As for Orchid her movement on the rooftops proved to be a success but with the guards following her there was an increased talk in the street of passersby who were now gossiping at what they saw, while they moved out of the way curious as to what was going on.<br>
<br>
Orchid would make it to the statue successfully without any incident as far as her parkour went, and the guards were not far behind her as they approached the statue.<br>
The senior guard who had commanded the others earlier then turned to her and said<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(209, 72, 65)">“Well then where’s this hideout you were speaking of?”</span> It wasn’t a hostile tone, but best described as serious and to the point.<br>

Kane chuckled a bit at the turkey comment, but as perusal it was a bit more dark sounding then perhaps he had intended.<br>
<br>
He was a bit surprised when she was so surprised, but it didn’t take him to realize why with what he had just said, but his gaze had suggested he was looking to make sure she was in fact okay with the coughing.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Guards it is then, we’ll probably need to head to the barracks then and ask the superior chain of command who was guarding that day, not exactly something a civilian could do everyday but if you explain the situation and show them the Talton thing that guard gave you they’ll probably be agreeable once they know what it’s about.”</span> He continued.<br>
<br>
Then there was her saying that she was a runner rather than a fighter. There wasn’t too much Kane could say to that except a nod, if worse came to worse he’d keep her safe.<br>
-<br>
Of course not long after Kane’s interaction with Orchid, Affonso met face to face with Victorique. Kane looked over at her, and he could tell immediately that the boss was most definitely annoyed, or perhaps even more than that.<br>
<br>
Affonso looked back at her with a scowl on his face, which formed quickly as just as he was going to speak up Victorique was quite insistent with what information she wanted to relay to him.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(151, 180, 186)">“Newt? Oh the commoner who runs the tavern.” </span>Affonso said, sounding like perhaps he was in thought for a moment, but the expression of indignance came back briefly. “If I really must go speak to that slurred speech ill read one living in this hovel of a village I suppose I shall if it’s to save my brother.” He finally said. For someone who was getting information about how he could possibly save his brother and not get arrested he wasn’t exactly sounding the most gracious, but perhaps he had his reasons for his reservations.<br>
<br>
His brows furrowed when Victorique told him that he was probably betrayed by his enemies. <span style="color: rgb(151, 180, 186)">“That simply wouldn’t do those damn Cecils..if I find out they were up to this there will be hell to pay..”</span> He’d grumble coldly.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(151, 180, 186)">“Tch of course I won’t be arrested, I’m a Talton, but I’ll go do what you say investigator..” </span>He finally finished, the irony of his statement given the situation clearly lost on him. Even if he hadn’t exactly been the most pleasant conversation partner, at the very least it looked like Victorique’s ability had been effective enough on him to get him to go do what she said, as he made his way off presumably to go question Newt with what she suggested he ask him about.<br>
<br>
Kane gave Victorique a nod, and didn’t say a word to Affonso, the look on his face probably said enough, which was one which did not suggest being impressed in the slightest.<br>
<br>
Kane did then turn to the guards who had apprehended the hoods who had remained for one reason or another, before he asked, <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Actually before you take them away, would you happen to know if the captain of the night guard is available? , it's  of great importance for the investigation..”</span><br>
<br>
One of the remaining guards then turned to Kane after he spoke and replied, <span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">“Yes actually, they’re doing some extra  training exercises out in the field right now actually with their unit. With the recent increase of monster activity, can’t really blame them, I don’t envy those guys jobs, lots of unpleasant things can happen at night.”</span><br>
<br>
Kane nodded, <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Thanks, could you point us out exactly where the ‘field’ is?”</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">“Well since you’re on official business you should be able to head right through the front gate, it’ll become pretty obvious once you’ve done so..it’s a wide open area where many of the barracks and it’s amenities surround, within the walls.”</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Thanks again..”</span> Kane reiterated.  Thankfully he knew where to go from that point. It seemed he was capable of being a bit more friendly when the situation called for it in tone at least. The guards didn’t appear to be particularly adverse to him either as the nobles had been.<br>
<br>
Kane then gestured for Victorique to follow as he headed away from the dungeons and toward the gated wall that segregated the military dwellings, amenities and training area from the rest of the settlement was. There of course were two guards there as well on either side.<br>
<br>
On their way there Kane spoke up,<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Truthfully I wasn’t really expecting quite a robust military presence all the way out here..but I guess now it makes sense why this place is even on the map at all, it isn’t just some tiny village in Rotia, it’s also a place  where they have invested the resources  to train people for armed service roles..” </span>Kane mentioned passively.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Maybe it's why they chose here for a..higher profile execution too, you’d have to be pretty ballsy to want to attack a place like this..Plus our Queen needs to keep the military on her side after all..maybe there was more strategy put into picking the site then I was giving the higher ups credit for..”<br>
<br>
“Guess it isn’t as bad living here as I would have imagined either, having that many armed people nearby working for the kingdom to protect you, doesn’t sound all too bad even if it’s in the middle nowhere..probably a bit quiet living here which..could be nice.”</span><br>
Kane continued, being a bit more talkative than usual, perhaps on account of his warming up to Victorique more.<br>
<br>
Presuming Victorique showed the Talton notice, the guards had no problem letting them through after Victorique explained the situation, which Kane would have given her a chance to do so. Upon the gate being opened it was pretty obvious what the guard had meant from before  as there was quite literally an open field like training area, where presumably the night guards were practicing formations with their spears. What was different about the situation of course was that there were a couple mechas on the field too which were of a similar color scheme of the guards, much less ornate than the ones that Kane and Victorique had seen earlier in actuality.<br>
<br>
The Mechas were standing in some sort of spear wall like formation, before shifting into a boarhead.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Night Guard Captain ???</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/marco-paal-hauptmann-klein-jpg.1105870/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1043/1043000-70072e045e9b2687bf1658ada451d117.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="marco-paal-hauptmann-klein.jpg" title="marco-paal-hauptmann-klein.jpg" width="100" height="171" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
One person stood out in particular who looked more ornate than the others, as well as adorning an eye patch of sorts..<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">“Lads, what did I tell you, Minimize those gaps! You can’t risk letting hostiles through our lines. It’s a matter of life and death for those on the inside, we’ll need to practice the set again.”</span><br>
<br>
Kane then gestured to Victorique before gesturing to the guy  as he made his way over across the field. “<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Hey, Night Guard Captain sir, we don’t mean to interrupt whatever you’re doing here but we’re  on official business from the Taltons. The lady here has some really important business to talk to you about, it’s regarding the Talton case.”</span><br>
<br>
Kane spoke very confidently, providing a segway for Victorique.<br>
<br>
The guard captain looked at them a bit surprised at first, skeptical even, before he continued, <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">“And I suppose you have a formal documentation to provide for this inquiry?..” </span>He then said turning to Victorique with a serious expression on his face.<br>

<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">Professor Neco</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/screenshot-2023-05-02-at-11-31-35-pm-1-1-png.1105865/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1042/1042995-f36e4a40f0d1169d7c47d39cedc59c56.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 11.31.35 PM-1-1.png" title="Screenshot 2023-05-02 at 11.31.35 PM-1-1.png" width="100" height="149" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Professor Neco appeared intrigued at Phoebe’s revelation about it being a trigger, his eyes sparkling abit as she spoke. <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Oh is it now? that’s quite an impressive deduction Phoebe."<br>
<br>
“On how to activate it I suppose there are many ways to try, whether it be by introducing some simple  magical energy or trying to interact with the surrounding environment, now whether or not we should trigger this is a different story, it’s difficult knowing what exactly these structures were intended for, but I do believe that your thoughts on these past people being hunters is spot on based on the story that I’m reading here based on these images.”<br>
<br>
“And then there’s that unique presence, that feels very familiar, perhaps it’s the great bear of white itself.."</span><br>
<br>
Professor Neco did focus on Gyld however, listening intently when he started to speak, letting out a bit of a chuckle<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“I trust your judgment, Gyld.”</span> Professor Neco replied with a smile. As he stood back, <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“I think perhaps we should give our friend some room Phoebe, after all it’s hard to say what’s about to happen.”</span><br>
<br>
As Gyld shifted into his owl bear forma and stepped forward the glade became a dominant presence in the center, and as he stepped onto the bear marks, suddenly the presence from before began to get increasingly stronger, the ground practically began to rumble beneath their feet, as professor Neco got into a ready for  action pose, scanning around the area, until a large white light enveloped the area, and when all was said and done a large bear of white stood before them on its hindlegs, it was probably sizable enough in weight and height to be in the [Large] category. Beneath it an ever icy blue aura danced below it, as the alignments began to freeze over. An icey aura fell over its fur, the air around it became noticeably frigid  compared to  the greater surrounding area.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><br>
<span style="color: rgb(61, 142, 185)"><b>Great White Bear of the North</b></span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/7e8d497c45deb55025d301e01ffdcd3f-jpg.1105866/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1042/1042996-c5324a9cad2a679e85c0e8c88670a274.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="7e8d497c45deb55025d301e01ffdcd3f.jpg" title="7e8d497c45deb55025d301e01ffdcd3f.jpg" width="100" height="119" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
<br>
However the bear did not look like an enemy at that moment, as it gazed upon them intensely, looking to Gyld.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(61, 142, 185)">“You have heeded my message so I thank you.”</span> A decidedly mature masculine voice spoke with telepathy to the group.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(61, 142, 185)">“You, Guardian, I have had my eye on you.” </span>It spoke once more to Gyld.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(61, 142, 185)">"The hunters on this sight  sealed me in this magical structure for many years, after I had been  defending  my land from them, and as a result they wanted me subdued.”</span><br>
<br>
<br>
The bear continued to ‘speak’<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(61, 142, 185)">“You are the chosen one who will show us today if you can defeat me in combat and complete the ritual,  in doing so finally liberate me. This is the way forward. Will you accept this challenge Gyld?  If you are victorious and  put me to rest, you’ll gain the wisdom and power you need to help make your dreams and aspirations a reality, you’ll gain a true understanding of the wilderness of the North.”</span><br>
<br>
While this had been transpiring Professor Neco had actually taken a kneel of respect.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“If this is what you will Great White Bear of the North, then I will not be one to get in your way.”</span> Professor Neco replied, before looking to Phoebe. <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">"Looks like we should perhaps give them a bit more room." </span>He said with a light hearted tone.<br>

<b>Languages:</b> Common | &lt;Beastial&gt; | [Terran] | {Sylvan} <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Superior chain of command...”</b></span> She echoed back at Kane. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“This is going to be a pain to deal with, isn't it?”</b></span> His next words pretty much confirmed it. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'll make sure to be prepared for it.”</b></span> She said, with some newfound resolve. She'd show them.<br>
<br>
Truthfully, she was growing increasingly salty with Affonso, but he redeemed himself by actually listening to her in the end. That was the reason she didn't deem it worth her time to reply to any of his many counter-arguments either. She'd gotten him to do what she wanted, in the end, so all's well end's well. With some luck, there wouldn't be another Talton on the chopping block before they could get the first one off of it. Besides, she could get her turkey from Adriano and her compliments from Eliza, should she have need of either of those.<br>
<br>
She silently followed along with Kane, who did well enough making his way to whomever they were meant to speak. She didn't feel the need to waste her energy here. She only perked up again when he suddenly spoke up about the situation. That was odd..? Ah, right. Friends. They were being friends, so they like... talked about stuff? Yes. Likely so. She figured she'd give it a go as well. It was part of the deal, after all. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You'd think? Having this many armed people nearby might also make you a target. Any monster wishing to crush the enemy base might as well level the village besides it while at it. Or better, like they're doing now, sow fear and chaos by attacking a village most defended. Show everyone how weak and easy to penetrate the defences to truly are.”</b></span> Ah, wait, that wasn't really the friendly casual friend talk they were meant to have, was it? <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I mean, yes. Nice and quite here, so long as folk aren't being forced to murder kids by creepy tendrils and put on the chopping block for it.”</b></span> She realised how sarcastic that sounded directly after she'd said it. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I give up, I'm horrible at small talk.”</b></span> She eventually concluded with regards to her own efforts thus far.<br>
<br>
She was glad to move through without too much trouble, showing her notice and all. Something instantly drew her attention. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Oh... those are cool.”</b></span> She'd only seen these mecha-like things in anime before, in her past life. She'd never expected them so casually in this fantasy setting. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Do you think they'd let me ride one, once this is over?”</b></span> She asked, before realising she was going to have to get this over first to begin with. Getting distracted wasn't the best option right now.<br>
<br>
Her 'good' mood deteriorated rather soon after hearing the Night Guard Captain asked her about documentation. Forgetting the fact she might want to ask for favours later, she instantly bit her tongue, but it was to no avail as the words flowed out shortly afterwards regardless. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Not yet, but if you want me to go get them, could you tell me where you'll be buried so I can leave them on your grave later?”</b></span> She'd spoken before she realised it might not be the best idea to make enemies here. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“What I'm trying to say is that it's urgent. Some weird tendril-like things are working with what are likely monsters disguised as kids. They have infiltrated the village and have already made one person kill someone. We're trying to figure out what happened and are trying to stop more of it from happening. No amount of documentation can keep the city safe when the enemy's already on the inside.”</b></span> She used some [Ultimate Argument] to hopefully convince him to skip the procedures for this case. She had debated to mention the Talton on death row, but she had a feeling this man wouldn't care all that much about that aspect of the case, so she'd gone all in on the danger to the city aspect of this story. <br>

They still had no idea what those glyphs actually did, what if he got ensnared in a trap somehow. Phoebe was about to voice her reservations until the Professor expressed his trust in their now bear companion's judgement. She held off on speaking out. There's nothing wrong with being concerned about your companion's safety, but the Professor was right in the notion that they should also have trust in each other, and so the pink haired mage watched in anticipation as Gyld approached the glyphs.<br>
<br>
Like the Professor, once the ground began shaking beneath their feet Phoebe readied herself for whatever came next. Well, everything except for a blindingly bright light that enveloped them all, most likely the effect of some sort of spell triggered when Gyld stepped on the bear paw runes. It wasn't until the light dissipated and vision returned that what exactly kind of magic was cast, or rather apparently broken as before them was a magnificent white bear, Phoebe's pink eyes gazing upon its figure in awe. This had to be the white bear they were seeking.<br>
<br>
Even more surprising than its sudden appearance to Phoebe was that it began to talk with them, all without moving its mouth. A multitude of questions swirled around in the mage's head. Chosen one? Ritual? Liberate? What exactly did the builders of this place seek to accomplish? But one thing was for sure, she definitely wasn't going to interfere with the duel between Gyld and the bear. The pink haired mage nodded at the professor as he suggested that they give the two room, stepping back with him to the sidelines, putting her faith in her companion to complete this Ritual the white bear had mentioned.</div>

<br>
<hr>As Gyld shifted back into his owlbear form and took the step forward, the powerful aura of the Eternal Glade swelled up, the essence of the green realm infusing the stone circle. The sensation of powerful ancient magic grew stronger, an unseen energy thrumming through the air, sending tremors through the ground beneath them. Gyld didn't notice as Professor Neco assumed a stance of readiness, his eyes darting around the area as they awaited the unfolding of events.<br>
<br>
Suddenly, a blinding white light consumed the area, as if an unseen curtain was lifted to reveal another reality. The group shielded their eyes against the radiance, their hearts pounding in their chests as the energy around them surged and twisted. And when the light finally retreated, it left in its wake an awe-inspiring sight.<br>
<br>
A colossal white bear stood on its hind legs in the center of the monument, its grandeur eclipsing everything else. Its size easily categorized it as [Large], the beast standing tall, its muscular frame frosted with a layer of icy fur. An ethereal blue aura danced around its form, the ground beneath it beginning to freeze over as if in respect to the creature's frigid dominion.<br>
<br>
The air itself turned biting cold, an arctic chill descending upon the clearing, causing breaths to fog and frost to crunch underfoot. Yet, in the harsh, biting cold, there was a raw, pure beauty - the majesty of the White Bear of the North, in all its glory, a sight that stirred something deep within Gyld. The beast from his visions, the one he sought to understand, now stood before him, a grand testament to the ancient powers of nature.<br>
<br>
The telepathic words from the ethereal White Bear rumbled through Gyld's mind. The Guardian turned his majestic bear head, glowing golden eyes fixed on the immense figure before him, now feeling an undeniable sense of kinship and awe. The realization that this powerful being had been observing him stirred up a blend of surprise and gratification.<br>
<br>
"You've been watching me?" Gyld rumbled aloud, his voice echoing off the stone monoliths surrounding them, bouncing back in an odd harmony with the chill wind that had picked up around them. There was a distinct note of pride mixed with curiosity in his tone.<br>
<br>
The White Bear's tale of being unjustly trapped by the hunters who were the true intruders of its territory provoked a low growl from Gyld. The unjust punishment was a bitter sting. His new form's increased size and strength mirrored his growing indignation.<br>
<br>
"Unjust," he barked out loud, shaking his head in disagreement. The tension in the air was palpable as he continued, "What can be done to aid you, mighty White Bear?" His tone held a note of sincerity, his words echoing throughout the monument, adding to the weight of the situation. Gyld was willing to extend his help, stirred by an instinctual compulsion to aid his kin, a fellow creature of the wild.<br>
<br>
The White Bear continued to mentally speak into their minds, “You are the chosen one who will show us today if you can defeat me in combat and complete the ritual, in doing so finally liberate me. This is the way forward. Will you accept this challenge Gyld? If you are victorious and put me to rest, you’ll gain the wisdom and power you need to help make your dreams and aspirations a reality, you’ll gain a true understanding of the wilderness of the North.”<br>
<br>
While this had been transpiring Professor Neco had actually taken a kneel of respect.<br>
<br>
The words of the White Bear reverberated in Gyld's mind, stirring him deeply. His eyes widened, the amber glow within them pulsating with new intensity. He could hardly believe it. He, Gyld, an Owlbear from the Eternal Glade, was chosen for this purpose. He felt an incredible sense of duty swell within him.<br>
<br>
He listened to the Great White Bear's proposition, a fight to liberate it from its magical imprisonment, a challenge that promised immense wisdom and power, an understanding of the wilderness of the North. The thought of such knowledge, such power, was intoxicating. Yet, Gyld knew he had to approach this with honor, not a lust for power.<br>
<br>
"I accept your challenge, Great White Bear," Gyld announced loudly, his voice rumbling through the clearing. He lowered his head in a sign of respect, then lifted his gaze back to the massive figure before him, determination burning brightly in his eyes. "I will do my utmost to put you to rest and honor your legacy. This, I promise."<br>
<br>
He then turned to Professor Neco and Phoebe, nodding in acknowledgment as the Professor suggested giving them room. With a slight flick of his massive head, Gyld signaled them to move back, and then considered for the briefest of moments how best to respect the wishes of his prey: the formidable spirit of the North.<br>
<br>
Gyld's muscles bunched as he swiftly leaped backward, a feat of agility and strength that belied his bulky frame. Now, with thirty feet of distance between them, the ancient ritual of combat had truly begun. His heart pounded with anticipation, his owl eyes fixed on the majestic figure of the Great White Bear.<br>
<br>
Suddenly, Gyld opened his mouth wide, a surge of energy gathered from the Eternal Glade pooling there. His aura crackled and shimmered around him, his form radiating power. Then, with a thunderous roar, he shot forth a torrential stream of venom at his opponent.<br>
<br>
The venom, glowing with a spectral green hue, whirled through the air, leaving a trail of sizzling, toxic mist in its wake. This was not a simple attack, but a complex interplay of potent effects designed to cripple and weaken his opponent. The venom was incredibly accurate, its path twisting and turning to home in on the Great White Bear. Should it make contact, it was designed to slow the Great Bear's movements, sapping its strength while causing continuous damage.<br>
<br>
Furthermore, the venom possessed an incapacitating agent, designed to immobilize the Great Bear, rendering it vulnerable to further attacks. It was also imbued with a potent magic making it incurable, rendering the inflicted wounds resistant to magical or supernatural healing. Lastly, the venom was imbued with a penetrating essence, allowing it to ignore the basic magical protections the Great Bear might possess.<br>
<br>
With this single, all-out attack, Gyld had made his move, demonstrating the full extent of his power granted by the Eternal Glade. Now, it was up to the Great White Bear to respond.<br>
<br>

With the guards following, Orchid had no problem getting them back to that statue. Well, not <i>too</i> much problem. She's still new to the town so she hasn't committed the full place to memory, but she did make notes about where she spotted those hoods and it was mostly just a matter of spotting the statue it was associated with. Occasionally she would have to ask for directions, but otherwise she felt she could probably find the place easily enough. She also made sure to slow down and talk to the guards following her so they knew what to exact or prepare as needed.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Can't say I know what exactly these hoods are capable of, but I've seen them skulking about, talking in earth tongue or something. I've heard it before I just never learned the language. They use some sort of magic near the mech statue, again something I have no expertise about, so if you lads have any magic folks might wanna bring em over. Y'all don't suppose this might have something to do with the execution today?" </span><br>
<br>
Orchid knew damn well it had to do with the execution, but she did have a hunch that maybe these greyhoods have more going on than <i>just</i> trying to bust out the arrested noble. Maybe some cult nonsense. Either way Orchid continued to lead the way to the statue, wanting to leave this to the guards as soon as possible. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"I'll lead y'all to the statue, but I need to follow up some personal stuff after. Not a guard and all, so I don't wanna get in the way of your investigation."</span> Mainly however, Orchid wanted to try and reconnect with Victorique and drop off her information. She made another mental note to maybe look into getting some sort of monkey or something that can both sneak for her, and keep notes for her. It'll be a very special monkey.</div>

<b><span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">Kane Blackburne</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/crop-1-1-1-jpg.1107426/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1044/1044556-dd24894ecc7f82a7319ffe3d22cc8746.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="crop-1-1-1.jpg" title="crop-1-1-1.jpg" width="100" height="204" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
<br>
Kane nodded when Victorique made her comment about the superior chain of command with a tone that was less than thrilled at the prospect it sounded like. The resolve he could detect was good at the very least Kane thought to himself, they’d definitely be needing quite a bit if they wanted to get anything meaningful done around here without having amazing connections. Even Kane who had access to certain areas due to him being an executioner wasn’t the best in the public eye as Victorique had witnessed time and time again.<br>
---<br>
Kane listened carefully to Victorique’s responses to his small talk, he hadn’t really thought of it that way. Still he thought to himself VIctorique would be talking about some pretty powerful monsters all things considered if they were going to be ballsy like Kane had said and take on this many suits at a semi military training facility village. Sure maybe a particularly powerful and ambitious monster would do it, or one who could sneak around, the one which Kane suspected was probably responsible for this case might cause problems because they can, but the way she put it made it sound like you were screwed wherever you were in Rotia..which to an extent Kane did recognize as true from his own experience, unless you were in the wealthier owning class, or doing armed force work which was risking your life practically on the daily anyway, Kane knew well enough that Rotia wasn’t exactly the nicest kingdom to live in having grown up in it his whole life.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“You know you sure know how to think like a monster Victorique.”</span> <br>
<br>
Kane chuckled a bit, this time it didn’t have a dark edge, but was genuinely light enough on his end of things.<br>
<br>
He turned to her with a bit of a grin now, which edged back a bit dark, even if he didn’t mean it to be, “It’s not like I’m one to complain, I’m lucky to be getting small talk at all, and as far as I’m concerned you’re doing just fine.” He reaffirmed  Granted Kane’s standards weren’t exactly high for that for the aforementioned reason but nevertheless.<br>
---<br>
By the time they saw the Mecha and Victorique was asking if he thought they might let her ride, he responded out of instinct, <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Maybe if you get in good with the ..Taltons  after this they could pull some strings for ya.” </span>He said with a bit of a shrug. He really had no idea what the policy was for letting people ride in the suits, but figured money and prestige tended to talk around here..so if that’s what she wanted to do having some noble house people on your side wasn’t exactly a bad thing.<br>

<br>
<br>
Upon hearing her next words of choice after he gave his sentence  the Night Guard Captain looked surprised at first with what she said, before he looked carefully at her , with discretion even. Victorique’s ability given her proximity to the Guard Captain showed her his titles which suggested that he was in fact titled a Night Guard Captain, as well as possessing a [selfless] title. <br>
<br>
Her follow up words did seem to strike a chord with the guard however as his clenched his fists at hearing what she said. <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">“You’re telling me that there’s a chance this wasn’t a one off incident..whatever that thing is..is still active here?”</span><br>
<br>
The captain shook his head a very serious look on his face now, <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">“I will not allow any more to be taken…not under my watch.” </span><br>
He then refocused on her.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)"> <br>
“Then it sounds like this investigation of yours is of great importance..I’ll get what information I can on the matter.”</span><br>
<br>
The guard captain then turned, <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">“Well then you heard her Virgil! Get over here with your squad, you were all on patrol that night, I Know it was a grizzly sight but this is a matter of life and death for her majesty’s people, the sooner we get to the bottom of this the more lives we’ll save.”</span><br>
<br>
A series of ‘yes sirs!’ rang out after in a very regimented fashion.<br>
<br>
A Group of four spear mecha units made their way over after the guard captain spoke out and they presented themselves to Victorique and Kane.<br>
<br>
The one toward the center gave a slight bow before the others followed suit,<span style="color: rgb(0, 168, 133)"> “Virgil, Night Guard Squad #2 Head,  here at your service. I was present with what happened that night, as were my compatriots here wth me, what exactly do you need to know?” </span>The masculine voice asked being projected from the mecha, perhaps through a use of magic and technology, it was loud enough and clear regardless.<br>
<br>
Kane stood by looking rather impressed at what Victorique had managed..she was actually quite good at what she did, proving it yet again in his mind.<br>

Professor Neco looked at the pinkette still with a wide warm closed smile, the cat man’s eyes glistening a bit. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“I suppose all we can really do now is cheer him on, If the circumstances were different I might encourage you since we’re so close to the shoreline now we really could go on ahead and fulfill your field research for the day, but Gyld has done well by us so far has he not? From the very beginning he came here with us, and was more than happy to protect us from so far away too. I think it’s only fair that we support him as he has supported us in this moment and send our good wishes to whoever is above that this battle results in his favor..as it will mutually benefit him and this great bear of white”</span><br>
<br>
Professor Neco stood now and closed his eyes briefly a faint green glow coming off of him, like his was going into some sort of trance not long after he said this, and he began to softly say some sort of mantra from the sidelines, however what he was saying was in beastial so for Phoebe who was the closest one to him, it was her guess what it could be he was saying, perhaps he was quite literally praying in that very moment. But this chant like mantra long state did not actually last all too long as it ended around when the pair had started sparring. <br>
<br>
He then looked to Phoebe and inquired like he was making casual conversation, <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“So Phoebe, do you have any hypotheses as to why there is such great mana variance around here on these shores?”</span> <br>
<br>
As his visual attention was still facing toward where the fight was going on. Regardless it seemed that the good professor was very much at ease despite the increasingly intensifying action which was going on before them.<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The Great White Bear nodded at Gyld’s comment about being watched. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(61, 142, 185)">“You are indeed most worthy of this task.”<br>
<br>
“Thank you for your solidarity and willingness to participate. In order for us to complete this most important  ritual of liberation I will further clarify  that you just need to subdue me, when I am unable to retaliate and we both are here in this circle you will have claimed victory.” </span><br>
<br>
The Great white Bear of the North concluded.<br>
With all of that said, an icey blue ring of sorts formed on the perimeter of where Gyld and the bear were engaging in combat, Perhaps they needed to remain in this ring for the ritual. Those who were sensitive to magic could see the faint icey  energy barrier which had formed a wide dome around them, indeed those were their boundaries, which while considerable were still finite.<br>
--<br>
After all the formalities were over,<br>
<br>
The Great Bear of White no longer spoke as its expression became more feral, it took a combat ready looking stance. In order for this ritual to be just the Great White bear looked like it was not going to be able to hold back for this to be done properly.<br>
<br>
While Gyld’s energy was crackling and he took an action stance as well, a blue icy aura of sorts began to crackle over the surface of The Great White Bear’s large body, and upon seeing the venom stream the bear actually attempted to dodge it and when it couldn’t do that block it, what happened instead with he spectacle was that venom clashed with a magical icey layer, and there was evidence of opposing forces interacting with one another in a most spectacular way, until it broke through, the penetration aspect doing it’s job.<br>
<br>
One thing had become apparent in the opener of this fight however, as large and strong as the Great Bear of White looked, ultimately Gyld had an agility advantage, as the large bear’s movements had been comparatively slower in the way it blocked, and now there was evidence of the venom actually sticking to it’s form and interacting with the bear. Due to the grade difference the bear hadn’t been completely immobilized, but it wasn’t considerably slower now and was taking lingering damage.<br>
<br>
The bear snarled, feeling weakened, not only that while a blue glowing hue started to try to act up, all around its body , the venom wounds almost looking like they wanted to heal, they did not, suggesting some sort of magical regeneration had been triggered which was now being silenced by the venom.<br>
<br>
Even if the Great White Bear showed difficulty in moving, if Gyld was being observant, he’d notice that the Great White Bear’s eyes were starting to glow a bright icy blue, and suddenly an extremely cold haze began to fill the magical arena above them, even if Gyld had physically disabled the bear, it was still capable of using magic, as suddenly sizable Icicles and hail  began to rain down from the cold haze above them down toward Gyld! The area of spread was mostly localized above the two of them, so there was still plenty of arena not covered by the ice magic attack. However the icy projectile storm was a tad slower than one might expect whether it was on account of the bear not being at full strength was anyone’s guess.<br>

The whole situation was out of the ordinary, so her explanation was quite essential to the guard’s investigation going anywhere meaningful with the intelligence she had picked up.<br>
<br>
The senior guard from before who had instructed everyone else to follow her now looked at her curious before he continued, “so you’re telling me that these grey hoods..as you call them, used some sort of magic near a statue? I’m afraid we will need to know the location of this statue then, as there isn’t only one around here, but since you’ve offered to show us I’m certain we won’t have a problem finding it then..” He said <br>
<br>
As they moved along, people continued to clear out of the way as Orchid led them to the statue, presumably she knew enough where she was going that while maybe she didn’t have all the shortcuts yet committed to memory, she knew well enough how to find the statue she had seen the hoods at.<br>
<br>
The senior guard nodded at Orchid’s comment about the magic and then turned to one of his compatriots. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“Once we’ve located the statue go and fetch that  magic shopkeep and tell her we need her on official business,  and that we don’t have time for dilly dallying this is a very high risk day as it is with the increased monster activity and a high profile execution..”</span><br>
<br>
A ‘yes sir!” came back from the guard, the senior guard  spoke too.<br>
<br>
The Senior Guard  then continued,<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“Unfortunately I think this very well could have something to do with the execution today, as it stands Affonso Talton  may be taken in at least during the execution, his actions have proven that he might be a security risk during the event.”</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">“I understand you’ll have done more than  your part once we arrive, as I still have yet to properly thank you for helping us protect the dungeon and make those arrests earlier..”</span><br>
--<br>
Eventually the statue of the Mecha came into sight after some more traveling and the guards and Orchid arrived, and the guard  who had been ordered, went off to fetch the shopkeep Once Orchid had  presumably confirmed it was the statue.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">“Now then before you go, there is two more questions,  First, this language you heard them speak, did it sound familiar to any spoken around here?, Second, while i know it isn’t your expertise is there anything at all you can tell us about what you saw during the magical event..what exactly did they do at this statue? Any additional information would be helpful.” </span> The Senior Guard concluded.<br>

<br>
She blinked a couple of times. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'm a detective. I need to think like a lot of bad things, monsters, criminals and all sorts of what-have-you-nots, to figure out a case.”</b></span> She replied, not entirely sure why he'd made that comment to begin with, as this seemed like a basic skill to have. Right? Either way, she shrugged it off after that reply. That said, she did put up a smirk when he complimented her small talk. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Why, thank you~”</b></span> She knew it wasn't really 'good' small talk, but it was fun to pretend regardless.<br>
<br>
She groaned when he told her she needed to get it in good with the Taltons. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Ugh... they'll owe me a favour, but I don't want to hang out with them enough to butter up to them... Although, hmm, maybe I can convince Eliza. One of the few good things about looking like a kid is that it's easier to get favours from folk like her.”</b></span> She mumbled, mostly to herself at this point.<br>
<br>
Luckily enough, the Night Guard Captain was easier to convince. Good thing she'd been upfront. The 'Selfless' guy was likely going to be useful enough at this rate. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“We've already asked some guards to keep an eye on those tendril-things that took hold of the body they murdered that kid with. We're just trying to figure out who, what or why that kid was to begin with and heard rumours there might indeed be more of them.”</b></span> She reaffirmed.<br>
<br>
On the one hand, talking to a mecha was really bloody exciting. On the other, it was really annoying. She couldn't really get a read on this person without seeing him or hearing his actual voice. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Could you get out, per chance? I'd rather talk face to face. Having to look up at people is already a pain enough, having to talk to a robot, cool as it is, is throwing me off my game.”</b></span> She spoke, speaking the truth, but only part of it. Her main concern was whether or not she'd be able to tell a possible lie from the truth if it was just a mechanized voice she heard.<br>
<br>
Hopefully getting him to come out, she'd be able to ask her actual questions. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Right, why don't you try to describe to me what you saw in as much detail as possible. In particular, try to recall the exact looks of the girl that got killed. Both before en after. Truth be told, an autopsy would be even more ideal, but I fear that might not be possible, so your descriptions are the most solid clue we have.”</b></span> She wanted to say more, but she didn't want to risk giving him preconceived notions. She turned to the others. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Also, if any of you noticed anything Virgil didn't, do add it. Any detail may be of grave importance, as there's reason to believe this might be related to monsters sneaking into the city.”</b></span> That was about all she could say to show the sense of urgency without planting ideas, which was a shame, as she would rather just outright ask if they believed that girl might've been a monster or under the influence of one. Either way, she'd just have to see what they'd say and hope that they'd give her at least a few new leads or details to follow-up on.</div>

As the Great White Bear's expression turned feral, its stance shifting to one of combat readiness, Gyld's instincts kicked in, reading the situation in a fraction of a second. The White Bear's icy aura clashed with Gyld's venom stream, a dance of opposing forces that created a spectacular display of magic. Gyld's penetrating venom found its mark, breaking through the ice barrier and adhering to the bear's form.<br>
<br>
Observing the bear's slowed movements, Gyld realized he had the agility advantage. The venom was working, lingering on the bear's form, weakening it and suppressing its magical regeneration. But the Great White Bear was not done yet.<br>
<br>
Gyld's owl-like eyes, capable of a 360-degree view, caught the bear's eyes glowing a bright icy blue, and he sensed the shift in temperature as an extremely cold haze began to fill the magical arena. The cold reached into his bones, but Gyld's heightened senses and intelligence told him what was coming next.<br>
<br>
With a powerful leap, Gyld dodged the falling icicles and hail that rained down from the cold haze. His heart was pounding, his body filled with adrenaline, but his mind was sharp, focused, and calm. The Eternal Glade's influence surged within him, guiding his movements with a fluid grace.<br>
<br>
As he landed, Gyld quickly unleashed his counter: Entangle. Vines and roots erupted from the ground, growing and extending at a rapid pace, seeking to wrap around the Great White Bear, tripping and tangling it. The vines were relentless, flexible, and accurate, even if they initially missed, more would erupt to continue the assault.<br>
<br>
Gyld's internal thoughts were clear and strategic. He knew that his advantage lay in his agility and his connection to the Eternal Glade. He had to keep the Great White Bear off balance, using his agility and magical abilities to control the fight. But he also respected the bear's power and knew that he could not afford to underestimate it.<br>
<br>
The vines reached for the Great White Bear, their grip tightening, holding their target ever tighter. The clash of magic and might had only just begun, and Gyld knew that he had to be prepared for anything. The Great White Bear was a formidable opponent, and the outcome of this ritual combat was far from certain.<br>

Kane couldn’t help but find a bit of humor in just how unaware Victorique seemed in what she stated in his opinion, many people had a hard enough time performing their everyday tasks to survive never mind have a mind which clearly worked as well as hers. Kane didn’t particularly feel like he had the sort of skillset which she had shown off in the slightest, so he was glad that at least someone knew what they were doing.<br>
<br>
He also chuckled when she mentioned that she didn’t exactly want to hang out with them long enough to get in good like that, who could blame her?  In Kane’s biased opinion most of them were pompous and dreadfully unrelatable, bragging about how great whatever thing was about their family and about how they were better than everyone else, it was really annoying stuff as far as he was concerned, sure maybe he was dirty, but at least he wasn’t living a life where he thought he was better than everyone..<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Guess if you had to pick one  of them Eliza is the least poisonous” </span>he’d snicker. Even if she hadn’t been the most welcoming to him, he knew that Victorique was right, and she’d have a better chance getting in good with her than probably any of the others.<br>

<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Night Guard Captain ???</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/marco-paal-hauptmann-klein-jpg.1108769/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1045/1045899-70072e045e9b2687bf1658ada451d117.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="marco-paal-hauptmann-klein.jpg" title="marco-paal-hauptmann-klein.jpg" width="100" height="171" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">“Those blasted things came back?!” He exclaimed, sounding surprised, “Why doesn’t anyone tell me about these things..” </span>He’d squeeze his fist, looking a bit tense for a moment.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">“This is worse than I thought..on all days of today..you don’t think there’s a possibility that..this thing knows that the majority of people living here who aren’t combative are  gathering in the square do you? If the right people were notified this might be grounds to postpone the executions today very soon…and..you’re telling me that the proper authorities were alerted and..what happened then? Surely there was some kind of response..”</span><br>
<br>
It was probably apparent to Victorique by this point thanks to her skills that the captain was surprised, and concerned had there been a lack of response?<br>
---<br>
The mecha identified as Virgil seemed to hesitate for a moment when Victorique asked if it was possible for them to show themselves , before the Night Guard Captain called out,<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">“Don’t worry lad, She and the axe are fine, you can get out.”</span><br>
<br>
Virgil nodded, before the middle of the mecha opened up, and Virigil slipped out, wearing what looked like some sort of uniform with light armor.<br>
After that happened a few other followed after him in getting out of their mechas as well, presumably those who were part of his squad.<br>
<br>
He then looked down to her before he continued <span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">“Well, like the Captain said, it was a pretty grizzly sight, there had been some strange sightings of two girls who looked very similar to one another I thought maybe they were an adventurer’s children or  perhaps someone in the military here… or something cause they were dressed too nicely to be from just anyone’s house all the way out here…anyway one of them was on the ground and had a large slash wound across the body and strange tendrils were holding it still but when we came over they retracted. Adriano was standing right there like he’d just seen a ghost holding the bloodied sword, nothing else unusual happened that night that I recall.. as we had to finish our patrol after securing the area and reporting the finding..”</span><br>
<br>
One member of the squad piped up, someone who was bulkier and stouter looking a bit older than Virgil, having a bit of a beard. said,<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)">“Yeah what Virgil said is true but..I remember more, what was weird was I could have sworn both of those twins had gray eyes, yet when we were on the scene just before the body fell it sort of looked like it had red eyes..which faded into gray.."</span><br>
<br>
Then another one spoke up who was lankier and taller than both of them, somewhere in between the ages of virgil and the stouter one.<br>
<br>
“I think I remember what they’re both talking about too, but you see I know my swords, my dad's a blacksmith and all..., so when we retrieved the murder weapon for it to be processed, the Talton..crest for Adriano’s sword..looked off, and to no surprise from me after the assessment we found out It was a forgery of his sword of an unknown origin, Adriano claimed someone must have stolen the original..which wouldn’t surprise me since it’s a pretty valuable piece..all things considered, but I do think it’s a notable detail miss.”<br>
<br>
Virgil nodded,<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)"> “Ah right, I didn’t even think to mention that..that was an odd bit, but I know from experience pick pockets do exist in Rotia..the prospect while riskier is much more tempting when there are those with noble blood around."</span> It became apparent that despite being quite a youthful looking guy Virgil still had the commanding role, which suggested perhaps he was just particularly skillful.<br>
<br>
Kane stood on standby looking to Victorique and the rest…this was quite a bit of information to take in, but there were some intriguing details. Eyes shifting colors..Kane went into thought…could it be that she was under some sort of control..was one of the girls a monster? These thoughts went into his mind..before he looked to see what Victorique had to say on the matter, looking between the guys.<br>

Gyld’s agile dodging showcasing how he truly was a being attuned with nature really shined in this instance, as his keen senses let him detect that the storm was coming with the shift of the atmosphere , and he saw the precursor which was  the bear’s glowing eyes as well thanks to his enhanced vision. The large leap had been enough to dodge the icy storm which was raining down upon them. The Northern bear on the other hand, needed not to worry about the spell as the projectiles seemed to fade away just before hitting him thanks to selective no doubt.<br>
<br>
Next there were the roots which shot up that the bear was unfamiliar with, Gyld attacking with elements of a forest which the Northern bear did not have experience in, in that sense they were environmental opposites, the Northern Bear used to the harsh snowy expanse, while Gyld knew how to thrive in a forest, Thanks to the linked nature of the entangle ability, once some vines and  roots hit, even more followed trying to latch onto the already slow large bear, further limiting its movement and reduced strength as it tried it’s best to break away, while it was able to tear away at some of them, in it’s weakened state it did not look like it would be moving any great distances as it thrashed around.<br>
<br>
The bear’s whole body began to shift from a white color to a much more deep blue tone as it  eyes glowed again and it looked like the bear was shifting the environment in the arena around them to something much more frigid, like it was emitting some sort of large frozen miasma of a deepfreeze, the temperature quickly becoming bitter, vines and roots starting to freeze over quickly and become more brittle. Thankfully for Gyld, because he consumed those icey snakes earlier and gained some of their essence, the full impact of the impressive temperature was reduced somewhat.<br>
<br>
Then with some limited motion in it’s paws suddenly sizable blocks  of ice started to shoot up from the ground in the arena with high velocities at seemingly random intervals.  They were not sharp, but blunt instead, Gyld would need to dodge these as well as to not get severely bashed, while the climate became more taxing simultaneously.<br>
<br>
There were different elements at play here, the Great Northern Bear would only have so many magic reserves so if Gyld managed to ride things out..it could put the Great Northern Bear in a vulnerable state, but there was also the possibility to strike hard and definitively to end things quickly with greater risk..the ritual was truly cooling down!<br>

<br>
<b>Languages:</b> Common | &lt;Beastial&gt; | [Terran] | {Sylvan} <br>
<br>
At the very first words spoken by the Night Guard Captain, Victorique already perked up. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Back?”</b></span> She called out in a bit of surprise. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Ah, sorry. Could you please tell me about the other time or times you've encountered them? Or was it just the one time with Adriano?”</b></span> It felt like this plot was thickening with just about every step she took. Not only were there 'things' leading people to those tendril things, apparently these tendril things weren't as new and unknown off as she suspected they'd been. She felt the same as the captain in that regard. Why didn't anyone tell her this stuff?<br>
<br>
His next words honestly made her feel embarrassed. Her cheeks colouring red in shame. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Of course... that makes so much sense... How did I not think of that...”</b></span> He basically spelled out the answer for her as she balded her fists in frustration. She was royally pissed, at herself in particular, for not tying together something so obvious. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I didn't think that, which is exactly why I've been stuck. If you take that event into account, it all makes so much more sense. I'd argue that it's not just a possibility, it's an inevitability. Monsters being able to get a massacre going so close to your base? They'd jump at the chance. They already managed to sneak in, they managed to take a hold of someone... Heck, it wouldn't even be far-fetched to assume they framed the Talton just to draw in more people to the square, as they'd come to watch a noble head roll. I'd wager my tobacco on the fact that they'll turn this into a bloodbath...”</b></span><br>
<br>
She took some deep breaths, trying to get rid of the frustration of missing such an obvious plot-point. How could she not encounter for monsters wanting to kill people en masse and this execution being the ideal situation? She'd have figured out so much more so much sooner if she'd just realised that. Was she still not accustomed enough to thinking like the monsters and people here? Now she just felt embarrassed for talking about thinking like a monster just a moment ago. Clearly she still hadn't gotten it down well enough. That said, she had to cast that frustration aside and focus. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“We've gotten some people to watch the tendrils we spotted near the walls, but that seemed to be about it. I'd say, at the current rate, a bloodbath is still a very likely possibility.”</b></span> She wondered... She couldn't confirm it, but she couldn't deny it either. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“We already know those tendril-things can take a hold of someone's body, at the very least, so it's not out of the question that they infiltrated some of the chain of command, if they truly strive for something as grandiose as a bloodbath during the executions.”</b></span> It was a terrifying thought, but one they couldn't simply write off.<br>
<br>
As if all that wasn't enough of a revelation just yet, she had yet to listen to Virgil. She was still too frustrated about her earlier miss to even be salty about being looked down upon. Still, her detective mindset took over, as she managed to tune it out enough to focus fully on Virgil and his current words. However, it was one of his squad that furthered her thinking. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Going from red to gray...”</b></span> She repeated. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'm wondering if they might've been possessed, but if they did indeed look like noble's, surely someone would've reported them missing? Unless... unless their entire house got taken over?”</b></span><br>
<br>
Well, that was a scary chance. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“This is just a shot in the dark, but, better to be safe than sorry... There doesn't happen to be anyone in the chain of command overseeing the executions or village's safety that has twin daughters, right? If so, I'd say it'd be safer to assume that person and their entire family are taken over by monsters. If not, I'm afraid I've yet to figure out just what these twins are tied too, other than possible monster possession.”</b></span><br>
<br>
As for the murder weapon, she smiled. Right. Her original mission. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Considering how much is going on, it's safer to assume the sword wasn't just stolen for monetary gain. Either it's stolen to further frame him for the murder or, in a worst case, they needed it for the rest of their plot.”</b></span> She clicked her tongue. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Is there any chance that sword is special in any way, shape or form?”</b></span> She had a bit of an imagination. Swords serving as keys to activate mecha's, or one of those fancy Excalibur-type swords, but right now she needed less fantasy and more facts.<br>
<br>
After all that, she looked at Kane a bit apologetically. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I'm afraid I'll have to try and get your big day cancelled. Right now, all clues suggest monsters will try to turn it into a bloodbath.”</b></span> She said, feeling a bit bad, but also not wanting to let all these warning signs go without being properly responded too.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">Languages: Common | [Terran]</span></b></span></span></b>​</div><hr>As Phoebe stepped back to let Gyld and the White Bear duel, she looked at the Professor, returning the smile he showed her and nodding after he finished his statement. <span style="color: rgb(255, 192, 203)"><b>"You're quite right Professor. Even if we've just met earlier today, after the trek here it'd be rude to just leave Gyld to face the bear without anyone cheering him on!" </b></span>The duel between the two beasts very quickly escalated as the White Bear called down a torrent of icicles and hail from the sky, prompting Gyld to leap out of the way before responding in kind, numerous vines and roots bursting forth from the ground. The elemental skill of the two beasts clashing was stunning to see, like two seasons clashing against one another.<br>
<br>
As she watched the duel rage on, the Professor asked about what theories she may have regarding the phenomena on the kingdom's shores. The pink haired mage pondered for a bit before looking over at the cat person. <span style="color: rgb(255, 192, 203)"><b>"Hmm... let's see... I have heard of the Kingdom being regularly beset upon by hordes of monsters from the continent across the sea during the winter, so the best working theory I have is that somehow mana from those monsters manage to leak its way into the oceans when the seas aren't frozen over. Perhaps blood and other monster parts found their way into the continent's rivers and lakes heading into the ocean, dissolving some mana into the surrounding water?"</b></span><br>
<br>
Her attention was briefly drawn back to the fight as both the white bear and arena seemed to undergo a transformation into what Phoebe couldn't help but imagine as an extreme blizzard given a tangible form. There was a temptation to take out the amulet she'd purchased from the shopkeep back in town to check how much mana was being expelled during the duel, but given the feats the two combatants were performing it wouldn't be hard to imagine that it was enough to make the amulet glow very intensely indeed.<br>
<br>
Phoebe turned her attention back to Professor Neco after witnessing the White Bear's counterattack. <span style="color: rgb(255, 192, 203)"><b>"Ah, like I said monster biology was never really my strong suit, you're much more knowledgable in that field than I am, Professor. Do you know much about the creatures from the other continent? Are they any different than the ones that roam ours?"</b></span></div>

<br>
The dance between the two mighty creatures had escalated, each moment filled with tension, precision, and raw power. Gyld, feeling the weight of the ritual and the endless back and forth, grew tired of playing games. His instincts as an apex predator urged him to end this battle, to unleash his full power without restraint.<br>
<br>
His agile dodging and keen senses had served him well, allowing him to evade the bear's icy storm and the sudden eruptions of blunt ice blocks. The temperature was dropping rapidly as the bear's body shifted to a deep blue tone, its magic altering the arena's environment. It was a chilling, bitter cold that would have frozen most beings to their core, but Gyld's earlier consumption of icy snakes had granted him a measure of resistance.<br>
<br>
Nevertheless, the bear's frozen miasma was taking its toll, freezing the vines and roots that had ensnared it, making them brittle. The arena was becoming more taxing, more dangerous.<br>
<br>
Gyld's mind was clear, his thoughts racing but focused. He knew he had to act decisively. The Great Northern Bear was strong, but it was not invincible. Its movements were limited, its strength reduced. It was thrashing around, fighting against the entangle, but it was vulnerable.<br>
<br>
Leaping back to create distance, Gyld's eyes narrowed, his body tense and ready. The time had come to unleash his full might, to strike hard and end this ritual with a definitive blow.<br>
<br>
Opening his mouth, Gyld shot another stream of venom at the Great White Bear. The venom was potent, deadly, a combination of magic and nature that was designed to weaken, incapacitate, and destroy. It was contact-based, growing more deadly with each application, and Gyld's aim was true.<br>
<br>
The venom stream was a complex and powerful attack, with properties that included accuracy, draining strength, homing, hot shot, incapacitating, incurable, and penetrating. It was a deadly arsenal all on its own, a manifestation of Gyld's prowess as a Guardian and a hunter.<br>
<br>
As the venom flew towards the Great White Bear, Gyld's heart pounded in his chest, his breath steady and controlled. This was the moment of truth, the climax of a battle that had tested his skill, his resolve, and his connection to the Eternal Glade.<br>
<br>
He knew that the outcome of this attack could determine the fate of the ritual and the future of his journey. He was ready to face whatever came next, to embrace victory or defeat with honor and strength. The Great White Bear was a worthy opponent, a creature of legend and power, but Gyld was an apex predator, and he would not be denied.</div>

Kane for the time being stayed quiet at what was unfolding. He didn’t really have much desire to interrupt Victorique’s investigation unnecessarily, instead he was more focused on how those around them was reacting to her. Thankfully they seemed to be receptive so far. If need be Kane was ready to step in for support regardless.<br>
<br>
What he did know for a fact was that this scenario that was being described sounded very much something a monster would try. His opinion still stood that it was a very ballsy move to try to make so close to the military, perhaps there was more than one who was going to act up at the same time and try to kill a bunch of people while they were gathered, who really knew for sure? He also couldn’t say he had seen any girls like those from any noble house that he was familiar with,  despite the way they had been described as being dressed well.<br>
<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center">​</div><br>
Virgil actually responded to Victorique’s question directed at the Captain first <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">“We’ve encountered them once before Adriano while on patrol at night, so this is the third time, some adventurer  just beyond the walls looked like they’d been strangled by the vile things probably about a month or so before the Talton incident happened, but as soon as we went over to investigate with appraisal the damn things retreated and there wasn’t a trace of them.” </span>From what Victorique could tell it seemed that he was being honest about the ordeal.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Night Guard Captain ???<br>

<br>​</div><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">“Virgil said just as well as anyone could, that’s what the report had said at the time, as far as I know there hasn’t been another instance until now.” </span>The night guard captain replied.<br>
<br>
The night guard captain’s face looked a bit more concerned when he heard Victorique essentially confirm what he had just said.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">“That is far from what I was hoping to hear, we’ve been compromised and the worst case scenario may be upon us if we don’t act quickly.”</span> The captain responded.<br>
<br>
Kane eventually piped up, <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Yeah I think she’s right, I know a lot of people who’d love to have the opportunity to see a Talton head roll, not like there’s a lot going on here for the average villager outside of daily life, you guys and the adventurers get in on all the action after all so something big like this gives people something to talk about, something they don’t want to miss as to be left out of the loop...seeing a criminal get justice, plenty of reasons it’d make perfect sense for a monster to frame Affonso isn’t there?”</span> He’d ask sort of rhetorically, almost like he was thinking out loud toward the end.<br>
<br>
Virgil looked back at her in thought, <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">“Possessed huh? Guess that’s possible, I’m not really the sort that knows a ton about magic outside of it’s use in combat, but if you say that could be true.”</span><br>
<br>
Suddenly the guard captain seemed to freeze up for a moment..a look of realization on his face one that quickly shifted to one of alarm.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">“The only person I know who is in the upper echelon governing this region who has twin daughters is Lord Hoyles, this land was gifted to him so he has a large influence in deciding how to best protect this land and what events will or will not take place..as well as when,…but based on the report we have the hair and eye color for it to be his daughters is all wrong…but your shot in the dark as you call it.., for the security of her majesty’s people..We will need to go to see him at once and investigate this affair, Of course we will phrase with the primary security concern of holding the execution with this new found information..I will come with you on your behalf personally, my credentials will be needed to get anywhere near him particularly since we don’t have time to go through the usual procedures due to this being a time sensitive issue. In the case your thoughts are correct we’ll need to have some more men on standby too..”</span><br>
<br>
The night guard captain affirmed to Victorique.<br>
<br>
Virgil looked rather surprised at this revelation himself before he answered Victorique’s line of questioning.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">“Yeah, swords I know more about, the thing could be used to access any of the Talton personal Mechas or gain entry into more restricted areas, it’d be a custom one with a unique magical imprint on it…so if you say it likely wasn’t stolen for monetary gain since it would still fetch a good number of coin even if you just melted it down..someone could use it to cause quite a bit of trouble if they wanted too..In my opinion I think we should  send a team to go and investigate any Talton mechas and current access points in the vicinity, since this sounding like much more than just a possible theft like we originally thought.”</span><br>
<br>
Kane looked back to Victorique and shrugged a bit, before letting out another somewhat dark chuckle, <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“So I won’t get to roll a Talton head today, no biggie if he’s innocent shouldn’t be happening anyway, but for those OTHER less important guys scheduled…wonder If they’d let me do it private, I don’t need to be in the limelight to do my job after all once you’ve gotten this all sorted out, but  not really a top concern right now with what’s going on anyway like you said looks like there’s a lot of checking out to do.”</span><br>

Professor Neco smiled at Phoebe’s agreeableness. Thankfully the pair were not at risk of being harmed by the duel thanks to being outside of the ritual’s ring.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)"> “I’m glad you agree, Come on Gyld you can do it!” </span>he’d call out himself cheerily. Even with the extreme display he seemed relatively chill all things considered.<br>
<br>
He nodded when she mentioned the fact there were quite a bit of monsters in the Kingdom. That much was all true.<br>
His inquisitive eyes lit up a bit when Phoebe mentioned the hordes of monsters. Most people who had heard of the Kingdom in the realm probably at least knew that much or some kind of variation of the story of how it was plagued by monsters and people like adventurers and the military there had to deal with them on a regular basis outside the walls to keep the various places and people safe.Sure it was dangerous but for the ambitious and those willing to face off against the perils of the land a good living could be made.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“I can see that you have learned some things, residual mana coming off of bodies certainly is possible depending what’s potent, things like demon’s corpses would give off quite a bit of mana if left to their own devices, and as you can imagine given the landscape becomes even more dangerous when it’s frozen over and we can reach the dark continent, it’s been a rather difficult proper research area with the threat of such high grade monsters being able to carry over, it means that culling is a necessity. I still believe that your theory is a solid one, and even if it isn’t the whole reason why I could certainly see it being a contributor to it, so I think it’s a good start just the same. The results you get from that eye will help contextualize the situation as well.”</span><br>
<br>
At her question he nodded,<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Well, yes there are many monsters from different continents, I myself come from The republic of Kuridan so I have studied some of the various Yokai there, evil spirits, undead, ghosts, demons,  and the like can be found around those parts in particular..even large beasts can be a problem even if they aren’t monsters..at least where I was conducting my research, here as you can see there are many dangers which thrive in this harsh environment so I’d say they are different compared to what you find in Kuridan, and of course with the dark continent so by as I was mentioning the monsters there are on whole different level from anything you or myself have come into contact with, monsters which can give even some of the most powerful adventurers of our time trouble..some with incredible magical and physical abilities, mysterious dark and dangerous entities which I am not entirely sure what family they’d fall under.. I would conduct more research but beyond what has managed to travel out here, I’ve only gotten looks at from afar due to how dangerous they are..” </span>He said, sounding a bit more serious for a moment.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“But really I’d say I’m most knowledgeable about what lives around here and Kuridan..” </span>He continued to speak.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“I would say that the study of  Biology is a rewarding path nevertheless whether it’s beasts , monsters or even what we understand of one another, so if you’re interested in the subject I have quite a few materials you can take a look at or even take, I hardly need everything I’ve acquired at this point.” He said with a smile. “Like this great bear right here is a great example, you can see how attuned he is with this environment and his abilities reflect that, there are other beasts and even monsters who have either no doubt evolved or were created for their environments in mind.”</span><br>

While this was transpiring the dramatics in the arena was heading toward a dynamic climax. With Gyld tense and avoiding the icey projectiles, with his agility, and resistance from the ice snakes he consumed in effect, the Great White Bear of the North let out a very loud roar which caused the very arena to shake beneath it’s paws as if it was one of defiance  as it struggled to move from what Gyld had used on it.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately for the  great bear Gyld had managed to avoid much of it’s powerful magic and now it was only growing weaker, so once the venom hit while the bear let out this loud sound the bear was engulfed by the venom of the glade, it could be seen coursing along the surface of the already magically fatigued bear, perhaps in part from being sealed so long, but also from the initial attacks which Gyld had hit it with in combination with the powerful shows of magic it had used.<br>
<br>
Just in that moment, suddenly the globe-like magic barrier around the arena began to fade as the Great Bear of the North found itself falling forward, until a very large thud could be heard from quite a distance away. Once the snow and ice  dust had settled after being strewn about from the large impact the bear had, it began to glow a soft blue and some energy like chains suddenly appeared into view on it's limbs going around the circle before they dissipated as if they were shattering  while the arena continued to fade away, and a peaceful expression fell upon it’s face, before as if by magic it lifted itself up to face Gyld. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">“Chosen Forest Guardian, you have fought well and finally broken me free from that seal, I may now finally be at peace.” </span>the bear spoke telepathically once more, as the environment became calm once again.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">“Thank you for listening to my calls, and coming this far to assist me. What I had told you before is true..I now give you my thanks, so that you too Gyld, will have a great understanding of the cold expanses of this realm..”</span><br>
<br>
Then the great white bear of the North, who now returned to looking quite white,  reached to his chest and seemingly  pulled out a very sizable blue bear heart which still looked like it was beating, icy fumes pulsating out, and levitated the heart to Gyld.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">“Accept this reward, I believe you know what to do with it already.”</span><br>
<br>
While this took place Professor Neco had taken another kneel of respect toward the bear.<br>

Perhaps they got strangled due to them failing to use the vines to control them, which they now succeeded in doing with Adriano.”</b></span> She replied to Virgil, as it was all starting to add up.<br>
<br>
She nodded at the captain's word that the worst case scenario was inbound. She also nodded to Kane. She didn't need his back-up, but she figured she'd let him have his fun for a bit. The possession seemed slightly off, or at least uncertain. She could sense that much from the man's reply.<br>
<br>
When the guard captain spoke up again, the next bit snapped into place. She pointed at the bulkier, stouter and beadier than Virgil knight. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b> “The hair and eye colours don't matter, as the guy over there said he saw the eye colour change, right? From red to grey. It might've been illusions altogether, rather than possession.”</b></span> She wondered why, was there some sort of sacrificial doppelgänger monster pair used? She wasn't sure, but that wasn't her priority. <br>
<br>
She sighed. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“If the same man is also the one who arranged this whole time and place for the execution, it would make it even likelier he was compromised and used to set-up a slaughter, would it not?”</b></span> She'd sigh. This wasn't great. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“If he's truly compromised, I'd have more use of your strength than your credentials.”</b></span> She muttered, worrying she'd soon have to escape a monster's wrath. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Just so you know, I'm a runner, not a fighter. Any sign of something attacking me and I'll be gone.”</b></span><br>
<br>
That's when Virgil added the cherry on the cake. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Monsters controlling the ruler, some nobles, having infiltrators, having body-controlling tendrils and now having access to the Talton's personal Mechas? That does indeed sound like a recipe for a catastrophe.”</b></span> She sighed. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Sounds like me and the Captain are going to meet his Hoyles, then? Virgil and his team going for the mechas? I'd suggest cancelling the execution at the last possible moment. If we do so now, we might make the enemy move or hide, making it more difficult to catch them or making them lash out earlier, before we can find or stop them. If we want to push it, we can send someone to say the execution is delayed due a new repeal or some other diplomatic stuff, something plausible, yet nothing mayor, to buy us some more time.”</b></span> She added.<br>
<br>
Looking back at Kane, she wondered aloud. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Indeed, there is a lot to check out. Are you going to join us to this lord Hoyles, or are you going to attempt to help finding the mechas?”</b></span> Either way, her own next destination would be lord Hoyles.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Gyld watched the unfolding scene with a mix of reverence and understanding. The Great White Bear's powerful roar, the tremors it sent through the arena, and the eventual collapse were all moments that told a story, not just of the duel, but of the ancient beast's long captivity and its desire for liberation. The glowing chains that had tethered the bear, symbolizing its imprisonment, shattered, leaving behind an atmosphere of serenity.<br>
<br>
Hearing the Great White Bear's telepathic words, gratitude washed over Gyld. To be thanked by such a formidable opponent was an honor in and of itself, but to be offered a part of the bear, a vital piece, held a significance that transcended simple gratitude. This was an act of respect, an acknowledgment of the bond forged in battle, and an offering of power.<br>
<br>
Gyld felt the weight of the moment, deeply understanding the ritualistic and spiritual implications of what was transpiring. The act of consuming a heart, especially one as powerful as the Great White Bear's, was not just about acquiring power, but about understanding and taking on a part of the essence of the creature it belonged to. It was a mutual exchange, one of deep reverence and respect.<br>
<br>
He remembered times in his past life when he had witnessed humans rebelling against their Spirit Guardian Animal. To Gyld, these rebellions were a sign of disconnection, of a lack of understanding about the deep bonds that could be formed between beings. Now, reborn, and standing in the presence of the Great White Bear, those memories were stark reminders of the profound difference between mere existence and true connection.<br>
<br>
As the blue, pulsating heart levitated toward him, icy fumes wafting around it, Gyld took a deep breath. This was a sacred act, one of communion between predator and prey, guardian and liberator. He opened his mouth, letting the heart float in, and as he consumed it, he felt a rush of power, a blend of coldness, and a deeper understanding of the vast expanses of the icy realm.<br>
<br>
Around him, Professor Neco's gesture of respect solidified the significance of the ritual. It was not just about battle, power, or dominion. It was about connection, understanding, and mutual respect. In this moment, Gyld felt both humbled and empowered, having truly experienced the sacredness of the hunt and the triumph of predator over prey.<br>
<br>
Turning away from the spot where the Great White Bear had been, Gyld, now brimming with newfound power and a touch of newfound arrogance, faced Professor Neco and Phoebe. The gleam in his eyes held a mischievous spark, and there was a certain jauntiness in his posture.<br>
<br>
"Quite the day, isn't it?" Gyld began, smirking, "Honestly, I'm starting to feel a little bad for all these legendary creatures. They really don't stand a chance against me." <br>
<br>
Gyld waved a dismissive hand, the playfulness not leaving his eyes. "Now Professor...anyway, I've got the heart of the Great White Bear pumping in me now. I feel invincible!" He puffed out his chest, feigning grandiosity. <br>
<br>
"How's that for mana, Phoebe mmm?" Gyld quipped, stretching leisurely. "So, what's next on our grand quest? Another legendary creature? An flying forest? A living mountain? I'm raring to go!"</div>

<span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">Languages: Common | [Terran]</span></b></span></span></b>​</div><hr>Phoebe nodded song as the Professor spoke. <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>“I see… If the residual magic from the monsters on the other continent are enough to lead to the sheer amount of mana washing up on the shores, then I imagine they’re quite powerful and dangerous indeed.”</b></span> She turned her attention briefly back to the duel. This experience was quite the peculiar one was a peculiar the more she gave it thought. That's not to say it was at all a bad one, mind you. If anything, it was the exact opposite with such amicable companions! No, it was more so with the situation itself. The last place she expected to have an academic conversation was in the middle of the wilderness mere inches from a fierce combat ritual involving an ancient ice bear who's been sealed for who knows how long, but yet here she was in that exact situation. It's really starting to seem that the saying "there's a first for everything" truly included <i>everything. </i><br>
<br>
Her attention returned to the Professor as he began talking about the field of biology. Truth be told, it's been a long, long while since she's lasted studied biology, being a literal lifetime ago. Before, she'd avoid having to study the topic more than necessary with having to memorize all those complicated terms and concepts, especially especially when she ever had to study anything related to neurobiology. Now that was a nightmare to try and cram the night before an exam! So naturally, she was a bit hesitant to take the Professor up on his offer, but if it would help her deepen her knowledge of magic then perhaps she could give it a shot. The Professor's comment on the White Bear certainly helped to demonstrate the potential usefulness studying biology of magical beings could have. <b><span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">"I think I might take you up on that offer, Professor. Perhaps you could lend me a few texts on magical beasts?" </span></b><br>
<br>
As she finished, she directed her attention back towards the duel between Gyld and the Bear, and just in time to witness the White Bear being struck and enveloped by Gyld's venom, the barrier separating the dueling arena and the two spectators. Taking after the Professor's example, Phoebe, too, knelt in a gesture of respect to the great beast, only rising after Gyld had consumed its heart and Gyld went back to his usual demeanor. <br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">"That was astounding Gyld! It was like the forest itself was coming to your aid, truly an impressive display!" </span></b>The pinkette was practically beaming as she responded to Glyd's comment on mana. There's nothing else that gets Phoebe quite as excited as witnessing and practicing magic. Going back to his question though. <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>"I'm needing to head over to the shoreline to do my field research for the day. Unless the Professor has somewhere in mind along the way, I'd much like to head there."</b></span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">Virgil</span></b>​</div><br>
Virgil looked like he had a moment of realization when Victorique said her thoughts on the strange strands.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">“I never would have thought of something like that, I think you chose the right profession miss. I mean from what I saw of that Adriano fellow he seemed like a nice enough guy, nothing suspicious until the incident..I find your thoughts more plausible in my mind if it means anything.” </span>He said with a somewhat positive intonation in his voice despite circumstances, it seemed Victorique had impressed Virgil.<br>
<br>
The stouter guard  nodded slowly at what she said,<span style="color: rgb(71, 85, 119)"> “I think whatever it is, something magical is probably afoot, if it wasn’t possession then I’d be curious how he got that Murderer title, I mean I find it hard to believe innocent  girls  like those would just give their lives up for whatever reason without some sort of magical tampering.”</span> He spoke in his somewhat gruffer tone.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Night Guard Captain ???<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/marco-paal-hauptmann-klein-1-jpg.1111715/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1048/1048845-70072e045e9b2687bf1658ada451d117.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="marco-paal-hauptmann-klein-1.jpg" title="marco-paal-hauptmann-klein-1.jpg" width="100" height="171" loading="lazy"></a></span></b>​</div><br>
<br>
The night guard captain nodded when Victorique said she was a runner rather than a fighter.<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)"> “I will ensure your safety if your thoughts are accurate and a monster lurks near Lord Hoyles…Protecting the innocent is what we specialize in after all. ”</span> He reasserted speaking with a certain confidence in his voice. Whatever this captain was feeling it was apparent that he was at the very least very skilled at putting a brave face if anything else, none of the guards  seeming to pick up or react to her muttering otherwise, instead Virgil nodding in agreement and the stouter one giving a thumbs up at that.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">“Yeah The captain’s like a one man army you don’t have a thing to worry about!”</span> Virgil added in enthusiastically.<br>
<br>
Virgil then continued with confirmation,<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"> “Yep, First we’re gonna move out and investigate the Talton Mechas. Then we’ll  check out  any others still in storage around here, because they might not be the only ones they’re possibly targeting.”</span><br>
<br>
The night guard captain then continued, <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">“Right then you and your squad should be off with haste, I and the investigator will go and meet with Lord Hoyles. What she says is right lads we need to be strategic about this, any cancellations should be last moment lest her theory be accurate, we can’t afford to let this enemy know that we’re on to it’s plans just yet.” </span><br>
<br>
At that the night guard captain got several yes sirs from the group.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">Kane Blackburne<br>

That was quite an alien concept to him indeed, rare was it ever these sorts wanted anything to do with him..It was a nice change of pace actually ,even if the reason was arguably not great, but lots of stuff wasn’t great in Rotia, lots of ways to die horrible deaths, in Kane’s mind. What else was new?<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“I think Virgil and his squad can handle their search without me, not like I’d be as much help on foot anyway, I don’t know how to pilot those things..” </span> He said before continuing<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)"> “So I think it’d probably be better if I came with you and the captain.”<br>
<br>
“Plus that way I can make extra sure nothing even gets close to harming ya, even with mr. one man army over here.”</span> He said with a wink and still somewhat dark grin.<br>
<br>
With everything sorted Virgil’s group got back into their mechas to go and investigate, it looked like that was their version of expediting.<br>
<br>
The night captain was agreeable, <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">“Given the unusual  circumstances and your role in this it should be permissible, we’ll also bring two more, too many could be suspicious, but it isn’t unusual for me to have at least two of them on hand.”</span> He replied to Kane and Victorique in part before he pointed out to two other guards who had been at the training and they got out and joined them, wielding spears, after giving him another set of yes sir.<br>

After some traveling the armed group and the detective would make their way deep beyond the field and military complex toward another clearing which had a rather nice house which had some privacy due to the greenery around. In addition there were extra watch towers stationed on the section of the wall which was closest to the estate. Lord Hoyles had some similar looking guards at his gate but they were wearing different uniforms, perhaps unique to his house. Thankfully they had no problem clearing the guard captain through, each giving a bow his way,as they opened them up, while another went to go and inform the staff about the urgency of the situation.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">“Lord Hoyles will give you an audience in his office.”</span> One guard replied. Then the group waited for a bit before they were informed he was ready for them. The interior of the house was as ornate as one would expect of a Lord, perhaps suggesting he was rather showy.<br>
<br>

For now he sat at his desk as they came in skeptically<br>

<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">“Aye, your generosity humbles me, Uncle.”</span> The night guard captain replied with a respectful kneel.<br>

Kane saw this going on and seemingly a bit begrudgingly did the same thing so as not to cause a stir.<br>

<br>
“Well now that you and I have met our primary objective…during the battle I actually recorded various  information with my eye, as I do tend to make use of every learning opportunity, but now thanks to you my vision has come true and, I can finally properly make an academic entry about that bear.”<br>
<br>
“As for what’s next..” </span>He then turned to Phoebe, with a smile, a residual from  finding Gyld’s enthusiasm to be quite pleasant, as he continued, their conversation having gotten a bit interrupted from before, now feeling like he could properly answer her  <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Indeed, the more powerful the more residuals you can expect..and of course I can lend you some texts on these beasts, just point out the ones that strike your fancy, I’m always a proponent of bettering one’s self with knowledge” </span>He said happily.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Ah Right! Yes, What Phoebe says is true, now that she’s aided us on this trip, we shall aid her on her endeavor, the shoreline isn’t far from here where we should be able to collect some valuable information..” </span>He’d point to the visible shoreline in the distance, which was just going to be a bit more of a trek over for the group.<br>
<br>
He then turned back to the owlbear<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)"> “Now I know that this may not sound as exciting as besting a foe in battle for you, but if you’d be so kind to join us, your senses and excellent  atunement with nature may provide us with valuable information on what’s going on,  and in addition your expertise as a Guardian would be most appreciated, should a monster from the shore decide to emerge..”</span><br>
---<br>
Presuming the party all agreed to go they would walk across the snowy landscape, with that same feeling of greater ease with a sense of harmony being restored to the land.<br>
<br>
The group moved toward the long shoreline without incident until they’d get close enough to the point that Professor Neco would make a gesture for them to halt. <br>
<br>
Along the shore line small crabs which looked like they were made of something similar that the ice snakes had been made out of, were side stepping, and there was an occasional icy sparkle, which  appeared momentarily every now and again.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“This should be close enough, any closer we really may take unnecessary  risk in attracting unwanted attention. I presume you brought the means to take notes? If you haven’t not to worry, I brought extra.”</span> He said with a smile toward Phoebe,<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“A good first step as mentioned will be to figure out what sort of magic signatures or otherwise we can gather, that eye which you have should do the trick, so when you’re ready to record, you should hone its gaze along the shore.”</span> He spoke much like a teacher might to a pupil.<br>

<br>
As they kept discussing the tendrils, a new worry arose. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Come to think of it, if those tendrils possessed Adriano's body... did anyone catch if he changed eye colour or something as well? I've assumed those tendrils to be stationary, but perhaps if someone is exposed to them for long enough, they can take over that person fully, like what would've happened to those girls... if that's the case, they might be parasitic. Which means Adriano and perhaps even others might still be infected by them, with them just being dormant for now.”</b></span> It was a rather terrifying thought.<br>
<br>
Truthfully, she wasn't all that worried about her safety. She just wanted the guard an Kane to know she'd definitely <b>not</b> have their backs and that she'd bugger off at the first sign of trouble. That said, the point had probably gotten across well enough, for now, so she left it at that. She nodded at Kane, as he decided to tag along with them. Somehow, likely due to some sort of huge flaw in her ability to reason tactically that had occurred just now, she trusted Kane more than this overly virtuous knight captain. <br>
<br>
The Lord's house was fancy, as one might expect. Although it was a relatively rustic type of fancy. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“He's got surprisingly good taste in architecture...”</b></span> She mumbled, upon seeing the house from a distance. Now she sort-off hoped he wouldn't be possessed and in need of being put down, as she might want to ask him whom he hired to build this place for when she was finally ready to settle down with a house of her own.<br>
<br>
That said, the man himself made a far worse impression. He reminded her of all those annoying nobles in fantasy, back in her past world. The type to always be the evil antagonist behind the scenes. It instantly made her want to anger him, which made her wonder. How much would she be able to get away with if she claimed it was just to test if he was possessed or not? It could get her wanted in the entire Kingdom if she played her cards wrong, but it could be very fun and satisfying if she played them right. A tough choice.<br>
<br>
She clicked her tongue. The bastard was related to this knight captain? Great... just great. This limited her options. Still, she could push it a little. It's why she didn't kneel, even though the other two did. Cause a bit of a stir, perhaps. Most of all, she could be able to use [Ultimate Detective] on him to see if his reaction to her 'disrespect' was natural or not, or even why he'd not have one should he not react to it at all. <br>
<br>
When she was suddenly tasked with filling him in, she wondered how to go about it. She really wished how likely the night guard was to be willing cut down this man right here and now, should it be needed. After all, what if she exposed a monster, but due to the blood ties, the night guard was unable to act fast enough to stop the monster from escaping? Ah, but she was plotting too far ahead. Actually... Kane was there. She'd shoot him a quick and hopefully meaningful glance of 'be ready' in case she might draw this out quicker than expected.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“The town's invaded by monsters and we've reason to believe your daughters are involved.”</b></span> She stated, purposefully phrasing it in a vague manner. What would she see? Worry for his daughters? Anger that she sounded like she was accusing them? Shock at being revealed for being a monster? Some monstrous influence on its own? She really hoped that this very 'rough' way of phrasing it would at least draw out some useful reaction to once again study with [Ultimate Detective]. <br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Gyld looked in the direction the Professor pointed, the shimmering horizon of the shoreline catching his eyes. While it wasn't a grand challenge as he'd just experienced, the idea of venturing somewhere new still held an allure. The wind carried the scent of salt and water, a stark contrast to the forested terrain he was accustomed to.<br>
<br>
For a moment, he stood silently, contemplative. Then, he shifted his gaze back to the Professor, narrowing his eyes playfully. "Information gathering, Professor? It sounds more like a leisurely walk on the beach than a grand quest. But..." He smirked, "...who am I to turn down the opportunity to flaunt my exceptional skills? Besides, the beach may have its own hidden challenges. There are creatures that lurk beneath the waves. And given what we've seen so far, I wouldn't be surprised if we stumble upon a mystery or two. Maybe an undead leviathan."<br>
<br>
The owlbear's interest was piqued. The notion of encountering unfamiliar creatures was enticing. "Plus, I've been told my feathers look particularly dashing when wet," he added with a wink.<br>
<br>
<hr><br>
Gyld's senses had become sharper after the intense battle with the Great White Bear of the North. He found himself more attuned to the energies around him, and the thought of unlocking more forms was an exhilarating one. While Professor Neco and Phoebe were engrossed in their studies, Gyld stepped back, focusing on the newfound knowledge he had acquired.<br>
<br>
Closing his eyes, the icy essence from the snakes he had devoured began to course through him. There was an immediate chill, and when he opened his eyes, his vision had changed. He now perceived the world with a crystalline clarity, each detail sharp and bright. He felt lighter, more agile, as he took on the form of the ice snakes, his body elongating and turning translucent blue with a shimmering sheen.<br>
<br>
Curious about his capabilities, he tried moving around, realizing that his movement was swift and silent. It wasn't long before he re-focused, channeling the essence of the Great White Bear. A deep, internal warmth replaced the chill, and Gyld's form started to grow and expand. The transformation was profound: he stood towering, covered in thick, white fur, his body now exuding a serene and majestic aura.<br>
<br>
He experimented, realizing that in the bear form, he possessed a strength far greater than his original owlbear form. There was also a newfound resilience to the cold. But along with the physical features, the bear form seemed to offer Gyld an enhanced understanding of the icy realms and a deeper connection to the spiritual energies of the cold.<br>
<br>
Excitedly, Gyld shifted back into his owlbear form. He was eager to share his findings with the group, but he also recognized the importance of their current task. For now, he decided to observe the shoreline, utilizing the abilities of the forms he'd just discovered, waiting for the right moment to reveal his newfound prowess.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)">Languages: Common | [Terran]</span></b></span></span></b>​</div><hr>Phoebe returned the Professor's smile as she slightly bowed her head in a gesture of gratitude for being allowed to borrow some of his texts when they got back. She flashed a similar smile of gratitude towards Gyld as he agreed to come with them to the shoreline. A part of her had been a little worried he might not accompany them given that it wasn't as exciting as the bear hunt but it looks like it's worked out in the end. <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>“It’s very reassuring to be under your protection during this field study Gyld.” </b></span>She did another little bow of the head as she said that, letting out a small chuckle at Gyld’s comment about his feathers.<br>
<br>
Fortunately enough, their walk to the shoreline was peaceful. After the run in with the ice serpents and watching that duel between Gyld and the White Bear, it was nice to have a chance to have a break in the action and take in nature. The shoreline was a pretty sight too, with the soothing sounds of waves hitting the beach and there thankfully being no sight of hostile creatures. The only creatures in sight were some ice crabs. From the looks of them, they looked like their shells were made of the same stuff the ice serpents from earlier were made of. It shouldn't be too surprising, similar environments do have the tendency of specific traits in creatures, but it doesn't make said traits any less fascinating.<br>
<br>
It didn't take long for the Professor to stop the group at a certain distance away from the shoreline once they got into view of it, with him then offering some note taking materials to the pink haired mage. <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>"Oh, it's quite alright Professor, I brought my journal and pen with me, but thank you for the offer nonetheless."</b></span> Phoebe then produced the Frost Basilisk Eye amulet from her bag. <span style="color: rgb(255, 182, 193)"><b>"Alright... along the shore..."</b></span> She muttered the instructions the Professor gave her to herself as she directed and moved the amulet's gaze along the path the Professor advised.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Unfortunately for her possible revelation, nobody present there  knew for sure if what Victorique said was accurate about the tendrils being potentially parasitic.<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">Night Guard Captain Robert Hoyles</span></b><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/marco-paal-hauptmann-klein-1-1-jpg.1113158/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1050/1050288-70072e045e9b2687bf1658ada451d117.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="marco-paal-hauptmann-klein-1-1.jpg" title="marco-paal-hauptmann-klein-1-1.jpg" width="100" height="171" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">“It’s difficult to say, but that is certainly a dangerous possibility.” </span>The night guard captain responded solemnly.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">Kane Blackburne<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/crop-1-1-1-jpg.1113159/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1050/1050289-dd24894ecc7f82a7319ffe3d22cc8746.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="crop-1-1-1.jpg" title="crop-1-1-1.jpg" width="100" height="204" loading="lazy"></a></span></b>​</div><br>
At the very least Kane already knew well enough that Victorique had no intention of staying around if she was endangered, he had gathered that much when she said that she wasn’t a fighter but a runner, so Kane was already under the expectation she’d run if it came to it. Thankfully for the others Victorique had done a well enough job explaining herself.<br>
<br>
When she gave a thumbs up Kane just gave her a typical grin of reaffirmation. He wasn’t about to let his new friend get killed just yet, that would have deeply lessened all the efforts he had made so far! Whether or not he was less reliable than the night guard captain was still to be seen, other then the fact that he hadn’t fled when the intruders attacked, instead Kane had held his ground as he said he had, so despite the judgment, at the very least it wasn’t based on nothing.<br>
<br>
Kane shrugged a bit when Victorique made her comment about the good taste in architecture. Wasn’t something he was really educated or knew much about one way or another, four walls and a bed was good enough for Kane in Rotia, it was pretty similar to the conditions he had growing up, but he did reply, <span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Yeah I guess he does.”</span> Probably not really thinking about the specifics about  why Victorique had said this.<br>
<br>
While Robert continued to maintain utter respect, Kane was about as pleased as Victorique was about the situation. This guy was just such a typical noble in Kane’s mind, that Kane hoped that they would be able to get this done as quickly as possible, lest he have to be restrained from wanting to knock the guy’s lights out, as he felt like he already knew how this was going to inevitably going to go as far as the noble being insufferable was.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(200, 168, 25)">Lord Hoyles<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1172110100-1-png.1113160/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1050/1050290-a65d674dd704571eee383f045e55b15d.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1172110100-1.png" title="1172110100-1.png" width="100" height="121" loading="lazy"></a></span></b>​</div><br>
Lord Hoyles raised a brow as he looked toward Victorique when she didn’t kneel, it looked like her intentional move was immediately having some effect.<br>
 <br>
<br>
Meanwhile Robert Hoyles, aka the captain looked back at Victorique with his one good eye and gave her a side eye as if to nonverbally signal she was playing a risky game by deciding to do this, probably not aware of what she was trying to do.<br>
<br>
Kane on the other hand had to resist his urge to chuckle as the situation unfolded, giving her a wink back when she gave him the signal to be ready.<br>
<br>
Once Victorique spoke her piece there was a silence in the room,  tension which could be cut…before one of the nearby guards spoke up,<br>
“What is the meaning of this filth you speak girl?!”<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">“You dare accuse Lord Hoyles’ daughters of conspiring with monsters?!” </span>The guard exclaimed indignantly.<br>
<br>
However just before the guard could speak up more, Lord Hoyles raised a hand toward them.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(200, 168, 25)">“Be silent.”</span><br>
<br>
The guard then quickly got down and bowed his head some,<span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)"> “Of course apologies my lord, but I just couldn’t help but let her tarnish your family’s name with such slander!”</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(200, 168, 25)">“Your dedication is appreciated..but I’m afraid the one that perhaps I’m even more offended by..is unfortunately my Nephew..what’s the game here Robert? You know my patience wanes thin..is this supposed to be some kind of statement or joke? After all I’ve done for you? First you bring this  utterly ignorant fae here, who doesn’t understand who she’s come to see apparently..and then on top of that, you allow someone who isn’t pure enough to be in the same room as me, nevermind in my office in my own home..”</span><br>
<br>
Robert bowed his head, <span style="color: rgb(247, 218, 100)">“I apologize Uncle..it’s just that as we were saying these circumstances are incredibly precarious, we believe that there may be monsters among us as she said which will pose a risk to the people in the town..and..”</span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(200, 168, 25)">“Thats enough.</span>” Lord Hoyles said coldly.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(200, 168, 25)">“You’ve all wasted enough of my time now then..”</span> He’d gesture to the guard, <span style="color: rgb(200, 168, 25)">“See to it that they're out of my fac-”</span><br>
<br>
Suddenly Lord Hoyles began to hold his head looking like he was in some sort of pain, his face grimacing. While this was transpiring thanks to Victorique’s ability She immediately smelled that something was off, something smelled of the earth in the room that hadn’t that way before…not only that but her perception allowed her to see then and there the slight sign of a white strand near the lord’s right shoulder which had slinked out, his current body language was triggering all kinds of red flags that whatever was going on wasn’t natural.<br>
<br>
The guard exclaimed, <span style="color: rgb(235, 107, 86)">“Lord Hoyles! What’s wrong?!” </span>Coming over to his side, until suddenly the Lord called out as his eyes widened and expression shifted to one of great urgency.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(200, 168, 25)">“Robert Get out of here!”</span><br>
<br>
Suddenly Victorique could see very clearly that there was a monster there along side Lord Hoyle’s information, and suddenly the small white tendril shot out and smashed the guard who had come to the lord’s side against the wall of his office. The guard didn’t even have a chance to react as he coughed out blood, then Lord Hoyle’s eyes glazed over a strange grayish color, with an absent look on his face.<br>
<br>
Kane however immediately jumped up at seeing this, now brandishing his executioner axe, jumping between Victorique and whatever  was happening to Lord Hoyles.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“VICTORIQUE GET MOVING!” </span>He’d exclaim urgently, if she hadn’t already as suddenly two large tangles of white strands came shooting out one in the direction of Robert, who was shocked at what was unfolding as he drew his blade  and Kane who blocked the hit,<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(230, 34, 14)">“Well Come on Robert, uphold your words, help me hold the line!” </span>Kane would  exclaim, clearly struggling with the strands now, and getting his axe into a position he could use it. This had quickly become a dangerous precarious situation. There was uncertainty if they could kill the monster and spare the lord.<br>

<br>
<br>​</div>The good professor let out a chuckle at the owlbear’s comment about looking good wet. <span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“I’m pleased to hear that you’ll be joining us then Gyld, your expertise is much appreciated, as I am most inclined to agree with Phoebe there.” </span>Truthfully as excited as the owlbear was about the prospect of fighting creatures on the coast, it was likely that the rest of the company probably wasn’t so thrilled at the idea after that last epic fight.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Who knows maybe you’re right and we’ll encounter something else grand that you can vanquish, If it comes to it I wouldn’t mind something rarer to dissect and study.”</span> He said casually at that thought.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Since moving here from Kuridan for my research I can certainly agree with you there, if you are seeking adventure and can handle harsh environments this land has plenty to offer, why I’d say it’s very likely there are other monsters and beasts very similar to what we encountered earlier..and there must be many more unexplored or forgotten  areas with grand loot, so at the very least the adventurers around these parts have things to aspire for..”<br>
<br>
“Since you seem to be more suited for this area perhaps it’d be worth your time checking out more at some point.” </span><br>
<br>
After that point when Gyld had gone off shifting his form some, to be more like the material the snakes had been made off, it looked like that move triggered some flight response  from the icy crabs as they immediately began to scurry away from the shifting owlbear. While Gyld did indeed feel more harmony and resilient to his current environment, like he belonged there alongside the natural white cold expanse, when he shifted into the White Bear form suddenly a few sizable large dog sized icy looking lobster creatures with large claws that appeared to be laced with some sort of frosty venom, similar to the ones the icy snakes had possessed,  emerged from the nearby shore, with cracking sounds, breaking through the ice and began to back  away from him  defensively too, the large bear form triggering this survival reaction it seemed, snapping their claws with similar force to a snapping turtle’s mouth. However from a look they didn’t look like they were keen on attacking Gyld or the other two, just keeping their defensive stance and distance  for the time being.<br>

While this started to transpire the Professor was still focused on assisting Phoebe.<br>
<br>
Professor Neco kept up his look of warmth at  Phoebe’s reciprocation. As Phoebe was more at ease it was clear to her that the professor was too, it was certainly nice for the group to just be able to take in their environment without some deadly threat on the horizon.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Right..then that’s just about perfect, I’ll assist in making a copy of a record of your results so I’ll have a set on my end of things too..”</span> Professor Neco replied as he focused on the way  and direction that Phoebe was holding the amulet, one of his eyes now glowing that same greenish color which his energy had been when he cut those snakes with his magical slashes.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Are you certain you haven’t done this before? To me you look like a natural~”</span> He complimented her field work abilities.<br>
<br>
He focused carefully on the way the amulet eye started to glow and seemingly respond to the mana which had ‘washed up’ suddenly the basilisk eye dilated some, and at first Phoebe and the professor would see a strong red glow coming from the eye, and a transparent but strong line of mana showing up on where the sightline of the eye would be if the creature that owned it had been alive.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Right..what I expected..that reddish tone from the perspective of this eye  means monster, and since the color is intense..that means that it’s quite potent too..as we were both expecting and as your hypothesis you told me earlier suggested..but..”</span><br>
<br>
Professor Neko’s brows furrowed a bit when suddenly the energy line shifted to more of a darkish brown color..<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“So..it looks like there’s some Fae mana in this area too on the shoreline..I can’t say I was expecting that..most of the fae around these parts are adventurers trying to make a name for themselves..and of course there are some minority populations but truthfully I’m not entirely sure why there’s enough to register here..encase you were wondering the reason it’s presenting that that color is because it’s detecting a mix..perhaps you should try moving the eye down the line further to see if there’s anything else of interest..”</span><br>
<br>
Even when the professor noticed the lobsters he didn’t seem to react, focused on the task at hand still, afterall Gyld was there and he had taken down a legendary beast, or perhaps it was because the professor knew that species wasn’t something to be particularly worried about, either way, he awaited for Phoebe to shift the gaze if she desired, as he inquired,<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(233, 240, 112)">“Any thought as to why this..concentration is mixed the way it is?”  </span> He seemed genuinely curious in her thoughts on the matter.<br>

<br>
This dude was so much easier to piss off than she expected, it was almost funny. Her words also had the expected impact. Anger, frustration and most of all, a lesser ability to stay calm and collected. That's how she needed them to be, right now. She did, for a short moment, wonder if she'd pushed it too much. If they were just thrown out, that'd make things a tad bit more difficult to investigate. Luckily enough, that wasn't needed. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Tendrils!”</b></span> She called out to warn everyone, the moment she spotted them. <br>
<br>
To see one of the guards smashed away by that same tendril was insane. The thing didn't look that strong at all, yet it'd smashed away an entire guard?!? Either way, her suspicions had already been confirmed. These tendril things had taken hold of he lord and likely of his daughters as well. <br>
<br>
As Kane jumped forwards, she'd [Halfling Parkour C] to fall back. She was glad this guard was the man's nephew. Why? If they had to kill him, they'd have someone that wouldn't easily be suspected of murder and who's story might be believable enough. That's why she didn't feel bad about making her way out of that room as soon a she could. She'd only get in the way of a battle, after all. <br>
<br>
Admittedly, her heart was beating rapidly. She'd been surprised. Not by the tendrils, but by their power and ferocity. That was worse than she expected. There were clearly things she didn't know yet... but perhaps she could. If they infected the lord, perhaps there were still some clues left in his house as to how or why, right? Yes.<br>
<br>
She nodded to herself. Kane and the guard could handle that battle, she was the detective, not the fighter, so she'd investigate, not fight. Yes. She took a few very deep breaths, calming her nerves, as she went to look through the mansion. The Lord's office was a bad spot, but there were other rooms of interest. The daughter's rooms, the lord's bedroom. So long as she could hear the fight remain the the study, she should be free to snoop around using [Ultimate Detective A].<br>

Kane and Robert were still struggling with the tendrils now as they were all over the room, not all that long after Victorique had given the warning.<br>
<br>
Kane had no idea what grade this thing was, nor did his current combat partner it appeared, Kane knew that he wasn’t by any mean too strong yet just starting out never mind the fact his lack of combat experience from his background, but he also knew that he couldn’t just do nothing, He knew that even as unlikable as this Lord Hoyles guys seemed unnecessarily killing him was off the table, nor did Kane wish to murder someone.Not to mention it sounded like to him that Robert had still been somewhat conscious. Kane decided that his best bet was going to be to try to strike it with something that wouldn’t be able to kill it but instead compromise it’s offensive capabilities. So Kane raised his Axe and a red gleam extended  forth hitting the tendrils illuminating it briefly using Novice Preparation of Rites. Unfortunately due to the grade discrepancy the ability only seemed to moderately slow down the creature,  however this weakened the strength of the tendrils enough, that Robert was able to raise his blade and move in closer, a gleam in his eyes,<br>

Judgement smite this creature and send it back to the foul depths it came from!” </span></b>His blade began to glow a golden color as electricity seemed to flow throughout it as he walked toward determined, an aura filling up the room, causing Kane to look over a bit awed, their difference in skill and power very apparent to him now.<br>
----<br>
While this was ongoing and Victorique got away from the action, she could still definitely hear the struggle in the office, with her enhanced hearing, but thankfully none of the tendrils seemed to be following her. First looking into the nearest daughter’s room, she’d see what looked like a pretty typical scene, a nice large soft bed with optional curtains, a dresser, and closet of many expensive looking outfits, a moderate but elegant desk which seemed to have a few books, and there appeared to be some romance novels there. In a small container on the desk was some colorful material and tools for knitting.<br>
<br>
 What was a bit more unusual however was that on the desk there was a piece of parchment which looked like there was a blood stain on the right corner of it, as well as some most unusual scratch marks and symbols on the paper, that didn’t appear to be in any of the language which Victorique knew written in ink. On the parallel corner to the blood stain there was a burn mark. The symbols and scratch marks appeared to be rather aggressively created.<br>
<br>
The second daughter’s room which Victorique investigated had a similar bed, as well as components but instead of on the dresser in that room there was another larger piece of parchment which had what sort of looked like a diagram of the town square which Victorique had been in not that long ago, which had been placed on an art easel where there were various colors and brushes available. What was strange about the drawing however was that there appeared to be a circle drawn around where people would be gathered usually, and there were strange symbols which appeared to be around the circle of the ground that looked very similar to the symbols  on the paper that Victorique saw in the first room, in fact the majority of them matched up. It also looked like there were tendrils coming out of the circle ground that had been drawn which looked very similar to ones she had encountered.<br>
<br>
The most problematic scene was when Victorique entered Lord Hoyles’ bedroom, and could see that a circle similar to the one in the drawing had been etched into the expensive wooden floor, the carpet being torn up, damage on the walls all around. The circle etched into the ground radiated away from the master bed which was king sized and the mattress and pillows were absolutely covered with what looked like old dried blood. Even the ornate chest in the room looked like it had been smashed in, not only that the floor with the circle had small holes in it, so did the bed.<br>
<br>
After looking around to that scene Victorique was then quickly made aware of a frantic tapping the closet door sound coming from Lord Hoyles’ closet now, and what sounded like someone who was muffled making panicked  frantic sounds. Thanks to her enhanced sense of smell she could tell there was someone definitely behind that door, but who was anyone’s guess until she saw what was behind it for herself…<br>
