Fizz, you see three individuals that stand out from the commoners killed in the blast. Two cloaked humans are clad in leather armor and have sheathed longswords, and a gnome with a burnt cloak is clutching a dagger. Among the dead, these three seem the most peculiar.
Jin, the guards nod and show you over to a 12-year-old boy, with a few splinters of wood stuck across his arm. "We found this one after he jumped behind a rain barrel and hurt his arm as the barrel exploded."
The large and imposing figure of Jin's shadow comes across the boy. Looking at him for a moment, before pulling out his kit and starting to make a soothing tea. His nostrils flare in annoyance when the best he can come up with is... this. Whatever a 6 makes.
Gadhan looks to the group, "City guard too scary to talk with, not scary enough to force them to talk, which way do we want to handle this? Jin and I can go over and be even scarier than the guards. Fizzy could go and annoy them into talking. Or Darien or Robin do one of you think you could go sweat talk them into talking a little?"
Arriving outside Trollskull Manor, Darien keeps himself a bit back from the carnage. He looks over the scene, but seeing Fizz seeming to investigate the victims and Jin looking to help the injured, he turns to one of the City Watch. “I would like to try speaking to the witnesses. If you would point them out to me?"
Hearing Gadhan's comment, he turns to him and adds, “I can try it either way. Perhaps though I'll go with pleasant first."
A gnome! Hopefully no one I know!thinks Fizz to himself. Distracted by the sight of a dead gnome he doesn't hear Gadhan's comment nor does he pay much heed to the rest of his surroundings as he wanders over towards the three bodies. His initial fear of the situation now surpassed by the mystery he checks the gnome first for any identifying marks, belongings or clues. After he finishes with the gnome his curiosity would lead him to inspect the other two suspicious bodies in a similar manner.

You inspect the two robed humans to notice a tattoo on one of their arms: the symbol of the Zhentarim, a scheming faction within Faerun, portrayed as a black winged snake.
Fizz is very relieved when he doesn't recognize any of the victims but he does make note of the curious tattoo though the meaning is a bit lost on him. Perhaps he will remeber to mention it to the others later. Perhaps not.
Standing up he sees Darien walking off and decides he missed all of the excitement here and maybe somewhere else will be more interesting. Besides Darien seems to be the least grumpy of his friends.
"Hey Darien!" He exclaims a little too loud. "Where we heading to now?"

Darien and Fizz, you both know where Corellon's Crown is (since it's literally right across the alley from Trollskull Manor), so you walk over to this three-story town house, the third floor having been converted into a greenhouse filled with exotic plants showcased by its translucent glass walls.
You walk in to see your neighbor, Fala Lefaliir, currently tending to some yellow flowers. They turn around to look at you. "Assumedly this is about the fireball attack, yes?"
"Off to talk to one of the witnesses - Fala Lefaliir." Darien replies to Fizz. "You are welcome to tag along. Then there's another to talk to as well. Plus that kid Jin is helping. I'm sure he can handle questioning that one!" He then laughs a bit at this last.
As they arrive at Corellon's Crown, Darien gives Fala a brief smile. “It is indeed about the fireball attack. I hope it hasn't affected you or your shop here. I was really hoping you might have seen what happened."
"I was watering plants on the third floor of my shop when the blast blew out some of the windows. Lucky I wasn't injured! Through the smoke, I saw a cloaked man take something from the body of a dead gnome, then start limping away. He was badly burned and casting glances over his shoulder, like he was afraid someone might be following him. He was headed in the direction of the Bent Nail."
As residents of Trollskull Alley, you recall the Bent Nail as a seller of wooden canes, quarterstaffs, and shields.
Jin did all that he could for the boy. So he silently steps away. Finding his companions. When he comes across them, Jin grunts in greetings. Lifting a hand, it then drops.
Darien nods sympathetically. “That is awful about the windows, but I'm glad you are fine. Did you see anything else? There was just the one person that left the scene?" He gives Fizz a quick glance before continuing. “I really would like to understand what happened. Obviously we can't have this sort of thing happening right in our neighborhood!"

Once again. Jin shows his herbalism kit. After several moments of silence he speaks. "Healer."
Jin, the guards nod and show you over to a 12-year-old boy, with a few splinters of wood stuck across his arm. "We found this one after he jumped behind a rain barrel and hurt his arm as the barrel exploded."
sorry about the wait, I was typing

Darien, the captain tells you the three known witnesses:
Jin, the boy winces as you forcefully pull out three of the four splinters, covering them up with a cloth.

Gadhan- "Sounds good Darien, maybe Jin can make a connection with the kid while he is healing him and can get the kid to talk a little."
(Ooc my comment on Jin is a joke due to his poor roll on med.)

Darien gives the City Watch a respectful nod. "Thank you for your help." He then decides to make his way first to find Fala Lefaliir.

Another word is spoken. "Sorry." This, to the child.

Fala rubs their forehead in a thinking motion.

"That's all I saw. However, apparently little Martem saw the fireball incident as well."
