[would her A S S I M I L A T E D brain know which church they're talking about?]

Earlier...? How much earlier?

[the way you guys keep typing this makes me laugh every time

anyway, yes! she would. he's talking about the church of aelfric - or rather, the church of all the gods, but aelfric the most. when people talk about the church they're usually talking about the sacred guard, and the sanctum knights that make up the organization, as well as important pontiffs, inquisitors, and other servants of the gods. in fact - even though her brain is A S S I M I L A T E D - it might ping as familiar. the sacred flame... there's a dumb white haired priest who says stuff like that all the time where you used to be, right?

anyway.

he thinks for a second.]

... Shit.

[AN HOUR'S HEAD START. NIGHTMARE.]

Do you know where they were headed? What were they told at the tavern?

... Partitio told me that they were looking for someone who might have a lead. A woman out in the Brightlands. You may not be far behind.

Okay, okay. Brightlands... Got it. You got a description? [a beat.] Also, what the hell's your name?

[just wondering! in case this turns out to be a false lead and she needs to fight a man before dramatically dying from the poison.]

... Blonde. [HELPFUL, THANK YOU

as for the name, he stares at her unnervingly for a moment.]


Osvald. [sure, she can have his name. just his first name, though. and he seems uncomfortable giving that much.]

[gazes at him blondely.]

Okay. Well thanks, Osvald. D'you remember anything else that might be relevant?

[personal profile] naeddre 2024-03-26 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[yes well listen you're blonde so he THOUGHT you might be the person they were looking for okay

anyway. he scowls at her.]


The other team had an inquisitor with them. [CONTINUES TO BE VAGUELY UNHELPFUL]

I mean... you said they were with the church... so...

[help.]

[personal profile] naeddre 2024-03-26 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. But an inquisitor is a little more than a clergyman. Prone to violence.
messy: (077)

[personal profile] messy 2024-03-26 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
So a clergyman who knows how to throw a punch. Fine by me. [... hm.] What do they expect to find that they need an inquisitor, though?

That is the question, isn't it.

[correct

anyway - is there anything else she'd like to do before she reunites with the others?]
messy: (028)

[personal profile] messy 2024-03-26 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
[she can't go back to the weapons shop for obvious reasons, so that's out.

is there anything interesting she can pick up while walking around town, before she reunites with the others? she's interested in any gossip in general, but also more specific sightings of a cleric and inquisitor, alone or who happen to be traveling in a group.

also, is there anything in the way of transportation around these parts? or are they just hoofing it?]
naeddre: (Default)

[personal profile] naeddre 2024-03-26 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
[hmmmm roll a d20 for me so i can tell you what you find, but - i will tell you this: the only transportation around theirs parts your feeties. you gotta walk to the church.

maybe you might find some horses, but that'd be for your hunter to figure out.]

[personal profile] messy 2024-03-26 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
[shouxue, please be our horse whisperer so we don't have to walk. we will look much cooler and sexy on horses.

anyway, she got a 16.]

[sixteen!!

a general walk around of the town nets you a couple of people talking about the inquisitor they saw making his way out of the tavern earlier. he had a rather placid look on his face, which the townspeople found creepy. there was also a thief in purple wandering around the area, and another hunter, though the whispers about the hunter are less prevalent. people around here don't really like beastlings all that much.

in any case, those people aren't here anymore - they seem to have left town.

other than that - a couple of people come up to harley to ask her for a dance. with that sixteen, if she complies, they reward her with a boost in reputation - you essentially have a point of inspiration. any bad roll you do, you can reroll once for free if you'd like.]

[oh, nice. she will absolutely dance for these people. give her that free reroll for when we inevitably crit fail in the future.]
