Lila shoots all three of these new, unpredictable, potentially impulsive allies a warning look.
"Look," she says cooly. "I don't care if you killed him, someone's framing you, or your knife grew wings and flew itself into his back. You hired me to find out what happened to him, and I did so. I'm not going to tell anyone, no matter what happens-I don't rat." She rolls her eyes. "So are you going to pay me or not?"
"Though, who ever this 'K' may be, it appears they romantically involved," Valen says arching an eyebrow. "And from the sounds of things, he had interests throughout the city."
Wallis doesn't notice anything out of the ordinary on the back of Brock's neck despite intensely scrutinising it.
The others do notice the level of tension in the air go up a bit as Kyve sheaths the knife. As Brock puts forth his thoughts a couple of the men start to fan out a little creating space but Kyve raises a hand to stop them, although they do not return to their original positions. The group are not surrounded but they are more hemmed in. Lila notices Csaba, still sitting up on the wall, out of the way has a knife in his hand. None of the others seem to be holding weapons, and they cannot be carrying much more than daggers judging from their clothing as far as she can see.
"I would like to see this note now please." He asks Valen and Brock, turning to Lila he continues "Of course you will be paid, I imagine this will only take a moment and then we can be finished here."He pauses, looking at Valen, with a small smile forming on his full lips. "I am that K and I remember writing the letter, it was nearly two years ago, times were different. But I would like to see it now."

"Well, hand him the note... It will be fine.."Brock would say looking to Wallis and Valen. Brock would then return his focus on Kyve, Trying to determine if he was telling the truth about paying Lila and if he was planning to kill us... watching his hands, his eyes, and any other subtle movements.
Kyve is completely unreadable to Brock who doesn't notice anything suspicious in itself although the drawn out conversation has got to the stage where a few people ar shuffling a little...

Valen waves his hands before him. "I don't have it here."Then turns back to Kyve. "Don't worry I'm not passing any judgment at the notion." He clasps his hands together. "So, why don't we go on in and have a seat, finish up the business and have a drink to your fallen friend?"
(Phade, I've done the same thing in a couple of my past games with my rolls... Good times. lol)
"What did you mean you don't have it here" Brock would say with a tone that is both surprised and instantly annoyed. "Where is it if not here... we went from his house, to the tattoo place.. to the crack.. then to get paid.. and now here... So where is it then?
"Thank you."Kyve says simply as he takes the note from Wallis, staring at it intently, silence follows and half a minute later he folds it up and returns it to Wallis. "Kaed, take them inside for a drink, then see Damar, get Lila's money and make sure she has it. Csaba, Marike help me with Glandon, we can bury him later but he should be covered now before the local creatures come sniffing around. Go, I will see you shortly." He says to all the Oilers and the party, bending down to Glandon's body smoothing hair from the man's face gently. "Do not worry, no harm is going to come to you. I see the tension in you but you have done the task I asked and you could not change the outcome. Have a drink and I will see you soon."
He does not turn back to the group as the Oilers look to move them towards the entrance to the Burning Castle, which you all enter unless somebody interjects...

Brock would turn back to the Burning Castle, placing his hand on Wallis's Shoulder for a moment as he leans in to whisper " Well that was interesting... " Before looking to Valen and Lila "i don't know about all of you but I could use a drink... " He would say with a smile as he makes his way into the tavern.
Brock will just keep walking, but will whisper to Wallis as Valen opens his mouth "And you thought I was going to be the one to get us into trouble" He would say with a small smile, nudging Wallis with his elbow.

17 19 12 5 7 6 15 2 20 16 10 8 6 1 11 7 4 1 16 7 5 2 14 13(Simon) 15 8* 16* 2* 7 (Simon) 7 4 3 1
*s are in combat rolls - average 8.7
Average roll is...... 8.7 too!
I do not regret that 15 minutes of poorly spent work time ;)
Simon on his own is rocking a slightly more respectable 10 :P

Lila doesn't relax in the slightest, eyes now wandering almost casually across the square, watching for flickers of sudden movement.

Lila clears her throat, giving Brock a Look. "Does Wallis have it, maybe?" she suggests in a cool voice.

Wallis produces the note giving Brock a look that says 'calm down' as she hands it over to Kvye.
OOC: Thanks Phade nice to know the average of my failures... lol

Lila sighs and goes in, glancing briefly over her shoulder at Kyve with a frown before following Kaed into the tavern.

"Just curious," Valen calls to Kyve as he starts towards the bar, "How did you manage to lose that knife?"
Insight on the answer: 15
Lila glares at Valen. "You were doing so well..." she mutters.

Brock will just keep walking, but will whisper to Wallis as Valen opens his mouth "And you thought I was going to be the one to get us into trouble" He would say with a small smile, nudging Wallis with his elbow.
"I gave it to him, about a week ago, he needed it, at the time I didn't." He returns to what he was doing and doesn't offer anything else.
Valen is certain he is telling the truth.
