Trip to Lepidstadt

[noozoo]

"But the statue wasn't with him? So he, or someone else, might have stolen it earlier? How did he get into the office? He doesn't sound like the type who would pick a lock..."

[Anodyzed]

We don't know where the statue went. No one was with the Beast that we saw. Of course, the investigation isn't complete yet. You're welcome to look around if you like.

Kazgar "Do you have any illustrations of the statuette? Are any of the university personnel or students unaccounted for?"

[Anodyzed]

No, none of which I am aware. And there aren't any discovery of University people missing. I wish I could tell you more, but you know about as much as I do now. The Professor looks bewildered and shrugs his shoulders.

What does the group do now?

[noozoo]

Chemistry thanks the professor for his help. "I'm not sure if it is regular protocol for you to issue a statement of receipt of the tomes we brought? Paperwork for the estate, I suppose.

Also, you wouldn't happen to know an Embreth Daramid who lives here in Lepidstadt? We have some business with her. She might be a lawyer, I'm not sure."

[Anodyzed]

Judge Daramid? I don't know her per se but everyone in Lepidstadt certainly knows OF her.
I'm not familiar with her residence, but I'm sure someone at the City Court building can further direct you.
And of course I'll sign a receipt for these tomes. As valuable as they are, that's perfectly expected.

Kazgar "While we explored the cause of the Professor's death we came across the possibility that a cult may be after the books."

[Demilich]

Kat "We believe the cult is, somewhat, known as, The Whispering Way. Do you know of it?"

[Anodyzed]

The Professor seems to consider the question a moment, then finally replies, No, I've not heard of them before. But you believe they killed Professor Lorrimer? That's terrible.

[Demilich]

Kat "We urge you to be careful, they may come after you"

[Anodyzed]

The Professor thanks her for the warning.

[Demilich]

Kat looks around at the others " Where do we go now? I am still thinking that we should stay in town for awhile, but, if everyone wants to leave, I'm going also."

[cybersavant]

From my savings, I have also willed to each of you a sum of one hundred platinum coins. For safekeeping, I have left these funds with Embreth Daramid, one of my most trusted friends in Lepidstadt—she has been instructed to issue this payment upon the safe delivery of the borrowed tomes no sooner than one month after the date of the reading of this will.

Kazgar "The City Court building, to get paid."

[Demilich]

Kat blushes laughs " How could I forget that? guess all these spirits and stuff has really got me feeling creepy. We need to go there, yes, to get paid. Afterwards, we can decide what to do"

Cronus laughs " Its alright, I can understand how that kind of thing can make you forget other things."

[Anodyzed]

GM: Just to move it along a bit for you...

IC: You easily find the residence of Judge Daramid.
