Case Investigation with help from Jax: 24
Case turns to the dragon as it spits acid near him, "Dragon, I did not say revive. If I wanted him conscious, I could do so from 30 feet away with little effort. I was attempting to ensure he just didn't bleed out or die so we could discuss our options. If we are to work together you should provide your allies with benefit of the doubt, if not actual trust. It seems to matter not, however, since he is quite dead."

PM: Dunno, they're shiny? Although as you take a closer look at the ring, you do at least get a sense of its design--it's been forged to look like a single claw, like the talon of a bird or dragon, wrapping around itself. The tip curves just a little extra to dig into the skin of the wearer, possibly enough to draw a touch of blood.
Case: Examining the body, you do indeed find a small, crumpled note in the spy's pocket. In black ink, it reads:
Follow them. Test their capability and report back, alive or dead.
“…did not mean to hurt your feelings, automaton…” Pieste Mor responds and then flutters up onto Jax’s backpack. “…seems I’m a bit intemperate when Jax or I are attacked…”
“… if we are done here, perhaps we should not stay huddled around a fresh corpse?”
'Dead or alive. That's a strange instruction for someone seeking to gather information. How is he going to report now that he's dead.' The ranger looks up and down the alley 'I don't like this at all, let's keep moving'
Case mutters, "Who is Riss, and why are they interested in us, or testing us? And indeed, how does one report if they are dead? Unsettling. Dare we linger to look into this? I believe our mission demands us to head to the nearest lightning rail station, and depart as quickly as possible, now knowing we are being trailed. Though."
He stops and considers.
"Our warning to the king could be more valuable if we uncover a bit more about the forces behind this situation, and how embedded into the local population they already are. Do we dare investigate this Riss, for a limited time...and see what we can find?"

"The ring there is magical." Robin informs the others as she looks up. She only then comes aware of the piece of paper and glances over it. "Why are so many people interested in us?" She asks with a frown. "And just how did they even know we were coming here?" She shakes her head.
"Would you like me to try to identify what magic that ring contains or do you wish to do so?" Robin asks, nodding back to the ring a moment later.
After the hair tussle from Jax, Stitch looks between Drego and the large barbarian with a wide beaming smile on his face. Quite pleased with himself. He eats quietly while the group discuses the events of the day. Quietly clicking his rocks together. And curls up in a ball at the foot of Drego’s bed for the evening.
The next morning he is absolutely ecstatic at seeing Case’s new robo-dog. He begins planning on when and how would best to ride the ‘beast’.
As the group is confronted by the spy from the Emerald Claw, Stitch closes his eyes. , puts his hands over his ears and darts towards the nearest object that would hide him from the spy’s sight for the duration of the battle.
It’s only after the battle when the group is discussing what to do with the ring that Stitch leaves his hiding spot to check on his companions. (Planning on using some spells for healing. But not sure who needs how much).
(Jax is still bleeding freely from serious magical dagger wounds, though he isn’t really acting like it.)
He suggests the group moves on quickly and perhaps hide the body - he looks around for something in the alley that would serve as a receptacle for a body that might lengthen the response time of anyone who might want to find out who killed someone in an alley (assuming they don’t already know).
During their journey here, Case seemed satisfied for the small goblin child to ride on the back of his robotic dog.
As the battle finishes though, the metallic thing comes padding up from the far end of the alley, its nature as a hunter obvious, and settles next to Case who observes quietly down both ends of the alley. He scans the alleyway for potential places to hide a body and offers suggestions to the group if he sees any.
Having heard no one seem particularly interested in trying to hunt down Riss, he says out loud, "Let us make haste to the lightning rail. We shall proceed with our primary mission to reach the capital with our message."

Drego reaches down and cups Stitches cheek, pulling his chin up to look at his face 'You ok? Nothing hurt? Ok then, go check on Jax he's bleeding and could use some help'
Drego helps Jax move the body to a less obvious location and then moves back into position to take point, more aware of his surroundings and looking for whatever comes next. This has been quite an eventful errand....

As the others have been searching the body, Robin takes a few minutes to cast detect magic as a ritual.

Robin: The ring is magical. The daggers are not, neither is anything else on the spy's person.

"Is Riss in this city, or could Riss be somewhere else?" Jax asks, scratching his head, and poking another dagger wound with another thumb.
"...or the note could simply mean report back whether we are alive or dead..." Pieste Mor points out. "... though probably not..."

If nobody has, PM will gather the daggers and ring and stuff them in Jax’s backpack..
“We should be moving, unless we want to talk to the authorities about the mysterious dead body at our feet…”
Jax drags the looted body to a place less visible than the middle of an alley. He prepares to go.
Unless stopped Robin would have taken the ring to study. Other than that, Robin would be ready to get out of the alley and back on their way.
Drego helps Jax move the body to a less obvious location and then moves back into position to take point, more aware of his surroundings and looking for whatever comes next. This has been quite an eventful errand....
((I had actually assumed someone would grab ring, only mentioned it since nobody had. All yours.))
Stitch patters his way over to Jax and places a hand on the bleeding wound. Looking up at Jax, “I am Stitch.”
