Grishkar presses forward to the Boros guards, "Pardon, but might you have any idea of those deceased? I'm with the Church, so I'd like to know who to contact as next of kin and to arrange the appropriate rites." Those who are familiar with Grishkar on even a surface level know that every word is inuendo for "I need to find who holds their debts now".

"We'd like to find that out too, bud," one of the Boris guards shakes his head. "These damn underworlders don't have any ID. It's a freakin' problem."

Blix runs up to the Boros, arms hanging behind him as he moves. "Boros-man, sir person mister! Blix is Rakdos. Me do "special services". As he utters the words special services he makes a couple of very suggestive movements with his eyebrows. "Maybe Blix help find out who is? Special people go to special service! Me go close and takes looksie?"

"Hah! You're liable to get your blood and filth everywhere, gobbo, sorry, but it's gonna be a negative from us," one of the Boros laugh. "I wish I could let ya through though. That Azorious is a pain in my arse, moreso than your lot."
It doesn't seem you guys will learn much else from this crime scene as the Boros guard continue to dismiss onlookers.

Roya manages to find an Izzet in the crowd willing to talk with her. It seems that these two groups bumped into each other rather aggressively in the street and it led to this level of bloodshed. They don't seem to know much else.
After a few moments with no more leads to find, Klox starts to lead you all through the back alleys and neighborhoods around Tin Street. Tall, densely packed tenements leave most of the neighborhood in shadow at ground level. Most of the streetlamps have had their glass smashed and their clockwork was stolen, and the smells of mizzium and sweat linger as you pass by rows of run-down buildings.
As you round a corner and head back toward Tin Street, one nearby shop stands out from the others. It has a deep purple facade, and in its window hangs a stuffed centaur. Above the door hangs a sign whose elaborate letters spell out “Old Xoblob Shop.” Further down the street, you see your point of interest clear as day - Chemister's Brew. It has neon signage on its front that depicts an explosive tankard.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Blowing right past the strange purple shop for now, Klox confidently bursts into Chemister's Brew, yanking Giggles behind him. "Klox is returned!" he calls out, the jangling spiked chain from his waving hands punctuating his proclamation. Glancing around the room, he tries to spot any friendlies and, if finding none to accost, will head over to the bar.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Out of curiosity, Roya will take a moment to look into the window of the shop taking note of anything of interest: clientele, what wares of service it may offer, etc. -- if any of that can be gleaned by looking in the window-- before following Klox who seems to know where he is going.
Blix follows right behind Klox and also calls out into the room. "Blix doesn't have germs!" a call he usually uses to announce that he is in fact safe to.. be entertained by.. so to speak. He keeps up with Blix and stays close by his accomplice.

"...okay..." Rukorm mutters as he glances at Blix out of the corner of his eyes before shouldering into the bar and heading to the least populated table. As he makes his way through the crowd (making sure to avoid any situations similar to what the sign outside seemed to advertise), he keeps an eye out for any coworkers from Dr Vay's team. Or... flying scaled pests.
Roya's quick glance informs her that Old Xoblob Shop is a strange curio shop. They seem to have many different trinkets on sale. They look like knickknacks, but knickknacks can be fun too.
Rukorm and Klox don't see any friendly faces. Some seem familiar to them, but none of them particularly stand out either. As Klox loudly announces himself, a few of the patrons cheer heartily. One of them shouts, "Its that gob what exploded himself last time! Hope he's here to do it again, hah!"
Klox makes his way to the bar and finds a vedalken barkeep. The vedalken's stern face betrays no hint of joy as he mixes together different concoctions for the loxodon patron before him. A mushroom cloud pops from the mug, leaving behind a sizzling, green ooze which the loxodon takes eagerly. Finally, the vedalken notices Klox and nods. You both know each other on an acquaintance level from the last time you performed here. This vedalken smirked at the end of your performance, so there is a hint of SOME kind of emotion in there somewhere.
"Good evening, Master Klox. If you would like to perform, you may have to wait your turn. We have another rakdos in the wings... Perhaps she will allow you to join her."

"We have word that something may have happened to her and would like to find out more. Did you see her leave or speak with anyone else?" The vedalken priest idly toys with a rosary of alms coins wrapped around his hand and wrist.

At the mention of other entertainment, Klox momentarily forgets about his current mission while he heads over towards the curtain that leads to the small closet-like back-stage area with Giggles in tow to see who is performing.

Rukorm leans back at his table, noticing the conversation with the barkeep. "Get 'im talking, Orshov," the bull mutters as he scans the crowd around, looking to see if anyone is eavesdropping on the two Vedalken or might know something.

Roya scans the crowd for another Izzet or someone who might be chatting about the incident.

If she succeeds in finding someone, she will ask them what they know or saw.
