I don't know where they hide... but I know their sign. It looks like graffiti... but its meaning is deeper. I think it must be some secret Golgari sect... look."
The bug eyed man traces in the air with a finger leaving green energy behind. He draws a circle with many lines coming out into snake heads. This is what he draws for you, albeit more poorly:

"M-Me? I'm, I'm Theren," he replies nervously. He blinks and looks around shiftily, "I... I just was curious about the girl. I heard she knew about the missing zinos... and well... it's a lot of money."

Everyone has heard the rumors of the missing zinos. The rumor has it 500,000 zinos. The claim is that Tesya Karlov, a once proud and noble woman with a high position in the Orzhov Church, was embezzling funds. She has since been imprisoned under these charges, among others, by the Azorious Senate, who runs the jails and prisons.

As suspected, he is lying. Specifically about the part of just being curious. For one, how does he know she is Tesya's supposed daughter? For another, how does he know about the graffiti symbol for this mysterious group?

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
At the mention of money Blix turns around and walks straight up to their new friend scimitar drawn and greed gleaming from his eyes. "Blix can buy many pointy, scratchy toys with so many zinos. Tell me all you know or me slash." Usually threats on where cutting is involved are directed towards the recipient of the threat. Blix' trademark threat usually involves him cutting an artery spraying the victim with his own blood, so the scimitar isn't placed on the victims throat, but rather on Blix' wrist a few inches from their face. Intimidation: 15
Theren blinks and stares blankly for a second before offering Blix a big, shy smile. "Y-You... You're... that goblin... neat..."
The threat doesn't register as a threat, but instead as an offer for a show.

Rukorm sighed and rubbed his eyes. He'd heard about the missing zino nonsense, but hadn't put much stock in it. Yeah, he could use the money to cover rent for a few years, but he was already fine as is, and that was assuming benefactors would get a cut. At the mention the girl was Boros, however, the bull's interest was peaked. Rodrick might be appreciative at helping recover a Legionaire, and it was just decency.
Insight (to see if Rukorm gleams the same intuition as Roya): 7
If so (or Roya tells him):
Rukorm leans down, leaning a calloused, muscled hand on the wall just over Theren's head. "Look, buggo," the bull mutters, "I just happen to 'ave a friend in the Legion who would be very interested in finding Kos. If you're holding something back from us, I could call him up. I'm sure you'd be much more... comfortable telling the Legion about this, wouldn't you?"
Intimidation- 8 (oof)
[OOC]Hey guys, sorry about going MIA again, Ive just gotten kind of scatterbrained lately. Will keep up from now on (hopefully)[/OOC]
Getting bored with both the contents of the crate he was rummaging through and round-abouts of the current conversation, Klox grumbles to himself as his eyes flare with demonic energy and he looks about for anything magically interesting.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Well, Theren," Roya begins. "I estimate you possess a bit more intelligence than you let on. If you don't want to be left for the comrades of your deceased captors, I suggest you be a bit more generous with your information." she pauses and fumbles in her bag and pulls out some parchment, calipers, and a quill. "Perhaps you can assist me in drawing a map...unless you would like to lead the way...."
As the minotaur tries to intimidate the gobbo, Klox turns on detecto-vision. Looking at Theren is like seeing a crazy kaleidoscope swirling with blue, black, and green mana. Simic creations always had that cool effect whenever you turned on detecto-vision. Of course, everyone in the room glowed faintly with one color or two, but it was never quite popping passively like a hybrid.
(Maybe if everyone cares to, you could describe which colors pop up for you! It doesn't have to be strictly your guild colors. You can take a silly quiz like this one in character to see???)
Klox otherwise sees something fantastic on one of the dead bodies. It was concealed in the sleeve of the first guy who died. Ripping and clawing, Klox finds pieces to what could make a concealed dagger!! Using mana enough for cantrips can cause the blade to pop out from its sheath. It seems like if you could incorporate it into clothing, you could get an advantage on anyone you were attacking. It seems to have a secondary property, but you can't be sure without identifying it.
(Uses same stats as a dagger, but cannot be thrown.)
Rukorm hems and haws, but Theren just stutters. It seems the bull scared him too much! Theren keeps repeating: "I, I, I don't know anything! Please don't turn me into the Boros!! I... I wouldn't last a day in prison!!!"

Klox sees a faint, glowing orange radiating off of Rukorm, like that of molten metal. The glow seems to be emitted most strongly from his hands. most strongly from his hands
Blix gives of a swirling red aura with specks of black popping up every now and then, like a the flashing flicker of a fire. The aura almost seem intensified around his wounds. "Is boooored. We going after girlie now?"

Cut to black as the sounds of running water fill the room. It stinks of something awful in here and there are no sources of light to boot. The two vedalken and minotaur share a lightsource between them while the goblins delight in the lowlight of the scene. Leading our party is the bug-eyed Theren who restlessly kneads his hands together as he mutters to himself, 'Is... Is a private Aristocrats show really worth this? But then the girl is in danger... Ahhh!' He ruffles his own hair as he continues onwards with you all.
As you follow the putrid stream you come across an intersection, which leads in two directions. In one direction, you see a tiny symbol drawn on the wall in yellow chalk: a palm-sized circle with eight equidistant squiggles radiating out from its circumference.
(Rukorm, Roya, and Grishkar do not have darkvision. I need to know who is holding a torch and/or using a light-like spell so you are able to see. I think the way to go is obvious, but as your characters deliberate and decide where to go, I would like to have any and all checks you might want to make while you travel. Whether its to check for traps, enemies, or try to recall information. Each character can only make one check, so make it count!)

"WAIT, pretty girl is Boros. Booooooring, i don't wants to save her anymore." Blix looks like he is getting ready to head out of there.
