Alijurn eats some toasted bread with butter and a slice of cheese, gladly accepting some tea to drink with his dry treat. "The food is great and all, but we really should get going towards our goal soon." he says as he takes a big sip of tea.
Therefore, with full bellies and a short rest, the four of you continue on your tour across campus to the Icharr Arcanium. As you near the large, multi-tiered structure, what strikes you primarily is that the Arcanium is almost like a self-contained lateral complex within the campus. Another interesting aspect regarding the facility itself is that the color scheme of the building stands separate from the rest of the college. However, despite the aesthetic separation, the Arcanium is still clearly a vital portion of the campus, yet the question lingers as to why. The lower floor is mostly wide, panning windows that allow light into the waiting area with glass doors allowing one to see freely inside.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ashe takes a peek through the glass doors, curious about this whole Arcanium place. This is a place that her adoptive father had not ever told her about... had he? Was this place even related to her? Icharr is not a common last name by any means, but at the same time, the universe is such a vast place. Ending up here, now, after everything that has happened... Truly, Ashe is intrigued to say the least.
(A Perception Roll if desired: 19.
Ashe is also looking to see if there is ANY sign that her father was involved. Examples like his full name anywhere or any other familial symbols. Investigation for that: 21)

You look around, quite adeptly absorbing all of the information this seems to give off. They do indeed have a very similar logo to what you saw on some of your father’s suits. You don’t see your father’s name on anything. However, you do see a picture of a woman, an older gentleman, and in another picture, another woman. The resemblance of these people to your father is clear. The woman looks around the same age, whereas the other two seem older. This place seems to be largely a third-party research facility that is being graciously hosted by the college due to their very generous donations. On one wall, you read, “The Icharr Arcanium, Making The Planes Plain to See.” Planar research seems to be its forte.

"Ahh, it seems my family was involved in the creation of this Arcanium..." Ashe speaks to no one in particular. Its more like she is making note of things for someone else to write down. Whatever the symbol is, Ashe will certainly jot it down for later reference for fear she may forget the exact shape of it. (Don't worry about drawing it, I'm thinking of it as Icharr Symbol for now!) There is an itch in her to enter the Arcanium and learn more. Who was that woman? Why was her father not in said portrait? These were things to research... later.
For now, "Onwards to the College of Divination..."

Sunny follows along, clutching his still aching stomach. He spares a blank glance at the portraits and plaques, then shoulders his glaive with a huff and moves onward. He doesn't have much in the way of knowledge about about this building, but he can keep his eyes and ears peeled, nevertheless.

Alijurn looks at the group. "If the college of divinitation can help with getting us out of this predicament that is indeed the place where we should go right now."

Your group continues past the Arcanium and to the College of Divination. It occurs to you, as you draw near, that these are some of the finest minds in their field. Frankly, it would be odd if the campus were to just let you into their offices and take a personal request. Does anyone have a plan for such things?

Ashe pulls the squad together and suggests that there are a couple ways this college can help.
Firstly, they likely have a crystal ball which can divinate for them. The gang could steal it or, possibly, borrow it without asking. Stealing it and keeping it was out of the question... The divination wizards would probably be able to track them and that would be bad especially if the fuzz got involved.
Secondly, there were spells at the most talented of wizard's disposals that could help as well; however, it wouldn't be enough to just walk in and ask. They needed a purpose for asking. Lying might be hard, or so Ashe suggests, but its possible the gang could make up a convincing lie. Perhaps acting as private detectives or the like. Ashe had no concrete ideas on a good lie. Maybe someone might even suggest a different avenue.

Sunny stretches his (surprisingly long and muscular) arms overhead, then yawns hugely. "You do not need to be coy- I understand what you are suggesting. Obviously, I would be happy to steal these balls for you. Would you like me to kill all of these derivation wizards, or just the ones who fight back?"
Alijurn smacks Sunny across the back of his head. "Oh no you won't! We are already being framed for something we HAVEN'T done. I am not letting you make us accomplices of a real crime. I say we actually ASK them if we can borrow the crystal ball, or if they can help us in this predicament."

Ashe pats Sunny's arm. "Thank you for trying dear," she says solemnly. Having Sunny steal and take the fall would have made things a LOT easier. Of course, Alijurn was too noble to allow that to happen.
"So you suggest we ask them... well... We do have a charming young lady on our side,"Ashe looks over to Dahme'dre!

On the next corner just ahead of the party a young college boy is pointing Dahme'dre toward their destination. As she walks away with the others, he grins from ear to ear as if he's just won a lottery. How lucky he is to have spoken to such a girl.
After Dahme'dre shares their route with the group, a faraway look steals across Sunny's face. "If stealth will aid us in obtaining the derivation balls, I will..." Sunny swallows hard. "I will dampen the radiant spark of my divine perfection and move on ahead- unseen and unheard. I may be beautiful and large, but I have raided many a merchant sh-" he glances quickly at Alijurn and coughs. "I have had much experience in moving quietly. I will return."
Alijurn eats some toasted bread with butter and a slice of cheese, gladly accepting some tea to drink with his dry treat. "The food is great and all, but we really should get going towards our goal soon." he says as he takes a big sip of tea.
