Locke takes a step towards you Sayre, The step is on his wounded leg so he lurches forward slightly before catching himself with his other leg. He is a very intimidating man but you have seen Men like him before. Usually they are all talk and no action with the Exception of Lomin.
Sayre roll a persuasion check.

Frilavor looked at Vanessa " sorry Vanessa vutnyou gotta understand...I'm like super wasted right now I mean I literally puked on my way here " he smiled and looked at the girl " so she's a witness and you want the one group of people who are grieving over the death of our friend I mean for crying out loud you won like 40 gold on him in the crucible "
Locke gives you a stern look, His face is unmoving not a single muscle twitching. After a moment he lets out a long breath and takes another step toward you Sayre. "It's not that I do not trust you and your comrades young tiefling. It's about Honor. Someone in my position and with my reputation must do all they can to keep a favorable position in the eyes of all. Yet you do raise a valid point, We cannot expect you to accept a Binding contract without additional information."
He takes another step in your direction sayre, Now he is about 1 and a half feet away from you. "I was asked by Solace to investigate the Disappearance of her Lover, a Boy by the name of Lomin kael. Someone who as it turns out. You all knew." He looks at victor and Filavor before turning his attention back towards You Sayre. "As My Previous contract had Taken me several years to complete, I was not aware of Lomin being one of us. I learned of this today and i am deeply sorry for his death." He places his fist in the palm of his left hand and bows towards you Sayre. A gesture of Respect and Acknowledgement towards the loss you had all felt. "During my search it led me to a place Where Solace and Lomin would frequently meet, A Small pond in the Duskmeadow, Not far from the Velvet cabaret. I Found Solace there, Being assaulted by a figure cloaked in shadow. While I managed to chase off the attacker, He left me with a parting gift." Locke rolls up the left leg of his pants, Revealing a heavily bandaged and bleeding wound that traced from the bottom of his knee down to his ankle. Even threw the blood soaked bandage you can see a tinge of a dark colour to the wound.
Vanessa speaks up "After speaking with Solace, It was obvious she had no knowledge of Lomin being a member of the Slayers take." Locke covers his leg once more, "This however is no longer about Lomin, This is about who or what assaulted Young Solace. As it happens This figure was also witnessed at the Velvet Cabaret during a Murder. The Dredges have been trying to issue a contract for the murderer for some time, yet the Slayers take is and always has been a Monster Hunting guild. We leave the Murders to the bastions." Locke looks back at vanessa and then back towards the 3 of you. "That is why I issued the contract on their behest, If wrote in the hand of someone of importance in the city. The contract must be fulfilled." Vanessa stands up from her desk and walks around to join locke "That is why I chose you three to take this contract, You all knew Lomin better than any one else. We hoped that would be the fire to help someone he had cared for."
DM Note: As a DM, I really dont like it when someone just hits the DC. I Prefer them to go over.

Sayre glaring at Frilavor "Please do us all a favor and shut up," she growls flicking her tail like a whip. "His memory isn't better served with your ignorant display! Know your place," she adds over her shoulder stepping in front of the half-elf blocking him off completely. Sayre then gives Vanessa an apologetic look before turning to the Kord monk. "Please Locke tell me the particulars of this assignment," she says now speaking to him and holding eye contact!

Frilavor looked at the girl and then at Vanessa and he brings out his pepperbox " if it's for Lomin I'm in" he smirked and glancing at the gun " I can't wait to use this on our mystery killer I can finally work on some ideas I have for weapons " he started getting a little giddy " maybe I could make one of those a Anteoc hand grenades " he smiled
Frilavor, The girl is not in the room with you. She was taken by Murtin to eat and get some sleep.
Vanessa Pushs past sayre and gets into Frilavors face. Staring you did in the eyes, She is a volcano about to erupt.
She Swings at frilavor, Rolling 18 Dealing 3 If it hits.
Locke instinctively grabs for Vanessa and pulls her away from Frilavor. "HOW DARE YOU FRILAVOR!" Vanessa yells as she is pulled back 10 feet from Frilavor. "I KNEW HIM LONG BEFORE YOU DID." Vanessa is thrashing about like a wild animal as Locke is holding her back. "Vanessa calm yourself, This is no way for a professional like yourself to act. Do not be consumed by your emotions." Locke is easily holding her at bay, His muscles barely twitching at her attempts to escape. After a moment, Vanessa finally calms done and locke releases her. She clears her throat and turns towards Frilavor. "Get out of my office right now."

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
DM Note: I forgot that she had disadvantage because of the Cloak of displacement. so it would have been a single role. First roll was a 1, She swung wide and hit a glass picture behind Frilavor. Vanessa takes 5 slashing damage from the glass of the Picture frame cutting her hand.
Another DM Note: Tomorrow is game day for my D&D group and I have to concentrate on the Campaign Im taking them threw so I will not be continuing this story tomorrow. Sorry guys but I cant run a 6-8 hour game that has a completely different setting and characters and this one simultaneously.

Frilavor realizing his mistake after getting hit twice gets out and waits outside but turns around" I'm sorry...it's just I don't really handle it well and that's the only way I know how to handle it so I'm just gonna say I'm sorry " he started to get some bandages for his cut
DM: No worries it's great so far! But does Vanessa take the new damage roll or Fril? Because that bites confusing also if if didn't 'happen' maybe edit it out of the post? Just a suggestion! Good luck on your adventure, I'm playing IRL myself today!
Sayre is even more sadden by Vanessa's grief and embarrassed by her party member! She looks to Locke and nods as if to thank him for controlling Vanessa but offers a should to Vanessa too. "I am so sorry. He saved me one times than I care to admit. He was a good man and I will do anything for his loved one to repay that debt I owe him," she adds.

Vanessa, Visibly shaken and still furious. Flashs you a smile Sayre, It only lasts a moment but you notice it. Vanessa sits back down at her desk and goes about writing something on a blank piece of parchment. Locke walks to the door of the Office and closes it, Leaving frilavor outside. He turns towards both of you Sayre and Victor. Letting out a deep Breathe, The Tall man Folds his arms under his chest. "You Friend is a Buffoon, He would be wise to watch his words and actions. They could get him, or all of you hurt or Killed." You can See on Lockes face, He is not impressed with what has transpired since you all had arrived at the Take. At this point you can safely assume he Is having second thoughts about the 3 of you taking this contract and Helping His Friend, Lomin's lover Solace.
DM Note: As it was a Natural 1, Vanessa took the damage not Frilavor. Sorry if it's confusing, It was late and I was preparing for The RL game. Was really tired and stayed awake longer than i should have. Im off to make my D&D players hate Mimics! Have a Wonderful day everyone!

"I think its a good cause, and the money dosn't hurt ether. I think we should take it." He looks to Sayre, who's opinion he usually defers to in this situations, as she tends to sense a raw deal before he does.
"I agree to the contract," Sayre nods at Vanessa and then to Locke. "Please where is it you think we should start," she asks the monk curiously. "Do we know the general whereabouts of the attacker? You said who or what! Are you not sure even if it's a...person," she asks Locke with a curled lip with an expression as if she smells something odd! "Oh but before we get into anymore deals you Locke need a seeing to," she finishes gesturing at his injuries with a frown.
Frilavor looked at him " trust me big guy I know when I'm losing a battle and I might be a little tipsy right now but I know I'm losing right now " he smirked and said from outside the door way " I also agree to the contract...also Vanessa did you do something with your hair it looks great "

Locke waves you off Sayre, "It is but a scratch young tiefling, It shall be healed in no time." He gives you all a appreciative bow and rolls the Contract tight, handing it to Vanessa. She Seals the contract with a strip of red leather and wax. Pressing the symbol of the Take into the wax as it sets. "This is all I know." Locke Begins as he steps from the door. "The being in question was last seen at the Crescent Glade, It is a small pond just south of the velvet cabaret. It was there it attacked Solace and myself, I cannot say what it was as it was astonishingly fast. I didnt get a clear look, All i saw was Shadow, as if it was one itself. That Is the beings last known location, I suggest beginning your search there. After which you should speak with Crespin and lily dredge, neither leave the Cabaret often and should be found there. Of course The contract does not come into effect until the Morning sun strikes the Horizon. You should all eat and rest, It would be folly to hunt this being in the state you are in." His eyes wander to frilavor as he speaks the last of his words.
Vanessa hands the contract back to Victor, It is tightly sealed and cannot be opened again until the target is neutralized. You are familiar with this practice as you have done this many times before. Vanessa Runs her fingers threw her hair at frilavors comment. She seems to have calmed and is now the level headed Huntmaster you all know. She turns to Locke and Shakes his hand, "Thank you My Friend, I can see why Groon chose you to be the next Dawn Marshal."
DM: Welcome to the first Milestone, You are all now level 11. Please adjust characters to match your level. Victor I want you to add to your inventory. "Contract of the Crimson Fall". I want you all to add to your Organizations on your character sheets. "Slayers Take - Crimson Oath"

Sayre will thank Victor to hold onto the contract with care before going to her room and not even speaking to Frilavor but giving him a sneer look as she passes flicking her tail at him like a whip! She goes to her room in the take where she gets a bath and goes to bed having already eaten dinner before meeting the group back at the tavern for their goodbye salute to Lomin went horrible awry! She will sleep well and in the morning dress, pack her needed gear, and come out for breakfast in the mess hall of hte Take waiting for her party members to appear.

Sometimes a Nat 1 tells a better story than a Nat 20 ever could.
Sayre, as you fall sleep. You have a strange dream. You see Lomin before you, covered in gore and shadow. His eyes are solid black with no iris or pupils, Blood clings to the massive sword in his hands. A flash and the dream changes, You are alone in a field of wheat. The sun is high in the sky and beaming down onto you. You look around and there is nothing in eyesight, Just a endless field of Wheat. A Crash and eruption from the ground nearby, You turn to see a Gargantuan Snake-like being speeding towards you, Instinctively you reach for your weapon but find that its not there. You run, Faster then you have ever ran before. You run so fast and so far that you feel like your lungs are about to explode, You turn your head to view what is pursuing you as the Creature suddenly wraps its impossibly large body around you. You cant move, You cant breath all you can do is look into the eyes of this monstrous creature, Piercing eyes that have pupils shaped like a "S". Another flash and you are standing in a Dark cave, no light or sound of any kind. You exhale and see your breath before you, Its cold. Something moves and you see it out of the corner of your eye, A Young Male Tiefling is walking towards you. You dont recognize him, He has pure white skin and eyes like blue sapphires. Long white hair flows down to the middle of his back. He Speaks in a soothing voice, It sounds smooth and almost hypnotic. In Infernal he says to you "Find the Snake hidden in Shadow Sayre, Lomin is counting on you." You wake up, Sitting up in your bed. It's still dark out, sweat is rolling down your face. You can hear the sounds of Some other Slayers take members who just got back from a hunt. You are alone in the room.
DM: Sorry about the not "Sleeping Well", I have narrative to get through!

His eyes are solid black with no iris or pupils, Blood clings to the massive sword in his hands. A flash and the dream changes, You are alone in a field of wheat. The sun is high in the sky and beaming down onto you. You look around and there is nothing in eyesight, Just a endless field of Wheat. A Crash and eruption from the ground nearby, You turn to see a Gargantuan Snake-like being speeding towards you, Instinctively you reach for your weapon but find that its not there. You run, Faster then you have ever ran before. You run so fast and so far that you feel like your lungs are about to explode, You turn your head to view what is pursuing you as the Creature suddenly wraps its impossibly large body around you. You cant move, You cant breath all you can do is look into the eyes of this monstrous creature, Piercing eyes that have pupils shaped like a "S". Another flash and you are standing in a Dark cave, no light or sound of any kind. You exhale and see your breath before you, Its cold. Something moves and you see it out of the corner of your eye, A Young Male Tiefling is walking towards you. You dont recognize him, He has pure white skin and eyes like blue sapphires. Long white hair flows down to the middle of his back. He Speaks in a soothing voice, It sounds smooth and almost hypnotic. In Infernal he says to you "Find the Snake hidden in Shadow Sayre, Lomin is counting on you." You wake up, Sitting up in your bed. It's still dark out, sweat is rolling down your face. You can hear the sounds of Some other Slayers take members who just got back from a hunt. You are alone in the room.
DM: Sorry about the not "Sleeping Well", I have narrative to get through!
