CH 3: Trouble Arises

[JadedDM]

"Yes, I'll help, as well," Selowen offers. "But the only blonde woman I've seen is Jinali," she admits.

[Jerrard]

"She was at the trails." did you see her, he asks Kathros, "And she was in the High Justice's chamber."

"And thank you all." he smiles.

[Breila]

"Yes, I did see her. I even spoke to her briefly. She seems to be associated with Sir Charles, and she told me she has a nephew in the trials. So I would probably be in the best position of all of us to approach her - except if one of you ladies wants to do it" he gives a short bow to Galeyne, Jinali and Selowen. "But you have to help me with how to approach her, I have no clue."

[JadedDM]

"I don't understand," Selowen says. "Why do you want to question this woman? Do you suspect her of being the thief?"

[Jerrard]

"It is just a feeling." He shrugs, "Shall we go to the Tomb?" He asks, he'd barely had the time to get dressed, "I should put some more clothes on." He laughs despite the situation, pulling at the white shirt he wears, "But that can wait now can't it?"

[Nuke]

"Bah, I be headed back to my room to gear up, see you back back here in a few shakes." Targin has heard enough, time for some action.

[HorizonsDream]

"All right, I suggest we all go get what we need. Weapons, armor, Erastin needs some clothes," Galenye says with a giggle. "And then we can all meet up at the tomb. Karathos, Jinali and Selowen, why don't you three question the blond woman while we check out the tomb. We can then meet back at our rooms, combine all the information we have, and then question the Grandmaster together," she suggests.

[Breila]

"Question the blond woman... you make that sound easy." Karathos grumbles. "Should I go impress her with my muscle and my muzzle, so she will yield all her secrets?" he flexes his torso and arm muscles, which are indeed impressive under the sleek brown fur, now that he's not wearing clothes or armor on his upper body. "She will probably want her nephew to gain the instant knighthood. Besides, I have no idea where she is now." Despite his words, he looks around if he can see her.

[JadedDM]

The blonde woman is actually on the other side of the hall, seemingly arguing with Sir Charles. Their argument seems to simmer down, and the knight walks off. After a few moments, the woman heads in the opposite direction, passing by the party on her way out.

[Jerrard]

"See?" he comments, "Suspicion is not befitting a knight, but Damnit something is up." he nods at the suggestion, not even taking time to blush. "Meet you here as soon as possible."

[Breila]

As the blonde woman is just about to pass them, Karthos steps forward. "You seem distressed, my lady" he says. "Please allow me to escort you to your rooms." His soulful brown eyes look into hers, his strong arm and broad shoulder are right in her line of vision.

[JadedDM]

The woman starts slightly at Karathos, taking a step away and putting a hand to her heart. She calms after a moment, though. The minotaur was growing accustomed to this reaction. Many found his bestial appearance a bit intimidating.

"Oh, yes...thank you, kind...sir?" she says, the last word higher in tone, as a question, as she is uncertain of the proper protocol for addressing a minotaur.

This frees up the others to head back to their own rooms to collect their gear, before heading to the Chamber of Paladine.

[HorizonsDream]

Galenye grabs her gear quickly and puts it on before she heads to the Chamber of Paladine. After all, she told everyone to meet there. "Every thief leaves some sort of a clue," she mutters. "Accident or not."

[Breila]

Karathos bows a little as he offers his arm to the blonde lady. "My name is Karathos, my lady. May I know whom I have the pleasure to escort?"

[Nuke]

Targin races to his room and begins to get ready. Taking the time to back his backpack after putting on full battle dress. Verbal sparing was not his strong suit, but his mere presence could be intimidating.

He heads out in the hallway looking for the others, but heads to the scene. Muttering under his breath "To desecrate Strum Brightblade that way, someone will find you, an' make you pay."
