Seeing how everything became even more chaotic, and taking advantage that the guard went away, Feliara decided to look for the stone that the guards mentioned before. She had no idea how it would look, but it seemed like it wouldn't be on the ground like any other rock. She conjured a bit of magic to help her, specifically guidance.

"Are you looking for my kisses?" Kasha teases.

"I know where to find your kisses Kasha, and, if I want, I know that in my lips I'll be able to find more than five"

She teased back as she kept searching for that artifact. She looked everywhere in that room for that goddamn stone. Questions flooded her mind, only interrumped by Kasha... Goddamn it Feliara, concentrate. She hit herself a few times on her cheeks to get those throughts out of her mind before looking through the corner of her eye at that flirty girl, looking rather angry.

"Maybe!" she dances around you, "Maybe not! You did try to bathe me once, how did THAT go? KEEHEEHEE!" she ballet dances away from you, clearly not knowing why we're here, and enjoying rubbing you the wrong way for funsies.

The stone is not in this room, just a bunch of dead House guards and Zhents. Maybe it's where the last guard ran off to?

The elf grunted before standing upright after looking under the corpses. She looked at the half-elf dancing around, still covered in blood. It was rather macabre, though at this point things like that didn't shock Feliara anymore. She started to go towards where the guard went, waiting for Syl. She knew that if she got jumped on close cuarters, her lack of strength would be a major problem. While she was doing it, she talked back to Kasha with a seducting tone.

"Maybe next time I won't try to bathe you, instead, I'll bathe with you"

"Gotta catch me foist." she mentioned, close to your ear, almost wiggling her tongue in it.

"You'll come to me, I assure you kiddo"

She said without even bothering to look at her, with a satisfied smile on her face and rushing behind the other elf for that goddamn guard.

"Oh, ok!" Kasha laughed, quite incredulous, then changed the subject. "Can we go home now? I'm hungry."

Naumick offers a curt thanks for the healing magic (how much was that?) and then quickly brushes himself off, beginning to follow the way the last guard ran.

 "I swear if some of you joke about this, I'll show you why elves are good with swords"

In the midst of crafting a witty response, Syl leans back, eyes widening in fear, and raises his hands in mock resignation. "Consider my lips sealed," he jokes, running a line over his curling smile in a zipper motion. "But I wouldn't mind a fine display of swordsmanship...decisions, decisions." Unfortunately, this allows the thug to escape notice. Syl whips his head around and shrugs. Well, shit. 

"Hey, hey! You two lovebirds - I doubt I've seen more poorly timed, awkward flirting. Let's get out of here and you can resume, yeah? I'll at least have enough drinks to stomach it back home." He gives each a charming wink before dashing after Naumick, limbs moving fluidly and slinking through the mansion's interior like a moving ragdoll until he catches up with the rogue and the guard. 

"Hey, hey! You two lovebirds - I doubt I've seen more poorly timed, awkward flirting. Let's get out of here and you can resume, yeah? I'll at least have enough drinks to stomach it back home." 

"Sorry, mister buzz killington!" Kasha laughs.

The House guard that fled and another House guard stand before the door to AREA G15B.

"Crap!" One of them shouts.

The elf found those guards and inmediately her mind devised a small plan to avoid fighting even more. Maybe they could beat them up without much effort, but maybe they would need the energy in the future. She pointed at them with her rapier and tried to remember the royal training that her father taught her when she was young.

"I, Feliara Windrunner Arkhgon, daughter of one of the great Eladrin mages and heir of Fenrir's hidden songs, demand that you give us the stone to keep it secure from the evil enemies that are trying to get ahold of it. We didn't want to fight, but it seems that people here lack the mental quickness of those who trained me."

She spoke like a true noble, cocky and with a smirk on her face. Maybe his father managed to teach her something useful besides a few cantrips. Talking about cantrips, she moved her fingers in the air to cast guidance on herself, making it appear as if a golden magic crown appeared on her head

"Surrender the stone or we won't be able to protect you from the inminent doom that looms over Waterdeep!"

The two House gaurds look at each other in surprise, then back to you all. "Crikey, did you say Fenrir's hidden songs?? Oh, well that makes everything much better!" You can tell they're being very sarcastic.

"Yay!" Kasha didn't pick up on it.

"Shaddap, you idiot!"

"Oh.."

"You're too late, fools. The stone is gone. We don't have it anymore. You'll never find it. Now, I suggest you leave before we summon the City Guard, and we won't be able to protect YOU from the imminent doom that will loom over..that."

"Why are we always late?" Kasha turns to Syl and asks, confused, like a child.

Syl uncharacteristically frowns at the guards, certain the shady dwarf would ensure the events here stay within these walls. There was clearly more at hand here - why the Zhentarim agents? What stone? He is tempted to throw in another jab in inquiry of who actually has it now, but something about something being chased outside catches his attention. Oh. That and Kasha. Syl leans forward and rests a hand on Kasha’s shoulder, resuming his haphazard grin. “Late? Don’t be upset about being late. Be happy we actually found another trail to follow in this lovely excursion through town. Didn’t you want a fun adventure? As far as I see it, the show isn’t quite over yet.” He lets out a clear, crisp laugh, his demeanour freed from any sign of inebriation. He waves his hands to the rest of the party. “Come on, let’s go meet up with the rest!” He calls, athletic form already beginning to return from where they came. There was little point in waiting around when the rest is chasing something through the city. Truly, Syl didn’t want to see anyone else injured in this current state. He regrets not being able to prevent anyone else from being harmed. 

“Late? Don’t be upset about being late. Be happy we actually found another trail to follow in this lovely excursion through town. Didn’t you want a fun adventure? As far as I see it, the show isn’t quite over yet.” 
Kasha looks up at you and smiles happily, realizing it to be true.

He lets out a clear, crisp laugh, his demeanor freed from any sign of inebriation. 
Kasha does the same.

“Come on, let’s go meet up with the rest!” 
"Let's sneak out the back!"

Bruvir and Avys, in front of the cemetery, notice a couple of things. The City of the Dead is a public park dotted with mausoleums. The place is closed at night, with two City Guard soldiers stationed at each entry gate. There is no sign of the automaton. To gain any further clues, or to investigate, you'll either have to wait till dawn, or sneak in.

This might be a good time to meet up and make a plan.

"Blasted leaping fool!" Bruvir grumbled loudly to himself in annoyance.  "I want to break into this place now and look for him but we'd have the whole City Guard on us within minutes.  Think you'd have any luck finding him tomorrow if we came with the others?" Bruvir asked Avys, "I'm no good at that kind of thing.  Back when I was Whole, people searched and came for Me, not the other way around."   

"Megi tröll hafa Þína vini!"

Feliara with a very offensive tone towards those guards before turning, with her arms crossed on her chest, towards her lovely friends. Syl was right, they should regroup and think about what just happened there. Still mad because she didn't find that stone, she followed those two mumbling a string of insults towards those guards in probably too many languages.

"I swear that if I don't get Syl's cute ass to work as security in the tavern we're ******* doomed"

She thought out loud while cleaning her saber, probably due to exhaustion.

 "Well I can't see very well as is, and I think if we come as a group we would be able to make some headway investigating... we can't match that machine for speed, but I doubt they covered their tracks completely the way it was speeding away. let's reconvene and see what the rest of the group found out." Avys nods, arms crossed turning back towards the direction they came. pondering to himself there must be something the other group has found... some explanation. This is exciting, mysteries to discover and information to be gathered!
