"I'm not native here. I came here via a portal to hone my skills peacefully before I reunite with my group again. Never knew things would go downhill from here." raiden mutters as the two of them close the distance to their destination.

Jorm excitedly says "A portal..oooh how interesting...A portal from another part of this realm or a different? I am not native here either but my story is not as exciting"
As you talk, you make your way back to the inn. Due to a combination of the drizzle and the paranoia that seems to have gripped the city, you see no one else on your way to the building; however, you still can't help feeling uneasy. Perhaps it's the knowledge that one single ninja couldn't have killed all the nobles in the settlement... there are others about. You reach the high-quality Inner Ward inn without incident. The rain stings your eyes as you look up at the open second-story window, drapes fluttering in a soft breeze. The lights from the lantern strings below the window cast crazy shadows on the sill and balcony.

Will everyone stop calling him "The Demogorgon"? It's his name, not a title!

"I'm from a different realm called the Storm Coast, as I had said. Back there I'm part of a team working to restore balance over on that world. And besides..." He points to the inn as he leads the harengon inside. "Keep your eyes out for anything gleaming. And watch your step. You don't want your foot to be scraping on some rusty metal that can easily take a rather tough guy out in seconds."
Investigation: 17
As he checks for anything metallic: "So you're not from this forest either did you say? Where are you from them? Are you a resident in this place or are you from some other dimension like me?"

Trey will inquire "I have been away from home for... too long, and I'm not as familiar with our ways as I should. But I feel I must ask. In the case that a clan's leaders are all killed, who become the next leaders? There must be a contingency in place for this sort of disaster, right?" His words sort of trail off a bit and something occurs to him. "How many nobles are in their clan, has a similar countermeasure already been discussed, to prevent their forces from moving too?"

I'm probably laughing.
It is apparently so hard to program Aberrant Mind and Clockwork Soul spell-swapping into dndbeyond they had to remake the game without it rather than implement it.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Interdimensional travel...How intriguing. I have read about this sort of thing but never found an actual door leading to another dimension. I would very much like to see this....if we survive this ordeal. As for me I am from this realm...way up north in the frozen lands. I studied amongst the various tribes until the war chased me away. I fancy myself an anthropologist." Jorm stays behind Raiden and lets them do the investigating while he keeps an eye and ears out for any trouble
The queen looks at you with a strange gleam in her eye. "The Hataruki clan does not employ assassins... it does, however, employ adventurers. Once your friends have learned more about this poison that seems to be their primary weapon, I want your group - if you are willing - to journey through the forest to their stronghold and try to cut off their power." She looks more somber as she adds, "There is no contingency. There were several nobles in each clan, and generally all of them were extremely well protected. That the Nakagore managed to pull this off is... inconcievable. There are effectively only three clans left - Nakagore, Atarachi, and Hataruki."
You make your way into the inn and spot one of the black knives on the floor.

"I found one." Raiden calls out as he carefully picks it up, not letting the poisoned metal graze even an ounce of his fine jacket, his blood-stained tail or his clawed hands. "Alright. We've got our evidence. Let's hurry up and head back before the rain gets heavier in approximately 5 minutes. Unless if there's something else you've spotted...?"

Now that you can see the knife in more detail: the short blade is constructed of sharp, precise angles - there is no curve to the onyx-dark one-sided blade. The kife has been etched with four symbols: 毒ナイフ, each one glowing green.

"Doku naifu... Bakas" Raiden mutters out loud before picking up a plastic bag and carefully packs the knife in; he knows what the words mean but he just doesn't want to elaborate any further. "Alright. Let's hurry back. Have feeling that in about 2 minutes it's going to be pouring like crazy."
It's this world's version of Elvish, even though real-world it's Japanese. And I'm afraid that only common is constant throughout the multiverse, so Raiden, being from a different plane of existence, has no way of knowing it. If Jorm knows Elvish, he can translate.

Jorm nods and hops along after Raiden. (Do either of us know the language on the knife?)

Jorm sees an etching on the knife as Raiden picks it up "Oh an etching on the knife...Can you show me please? Is this language in your realm or is it just here?"
Raiden reluctantly hands over the knife to Jorm without saying a word.

Jorm determines Raiden's non answer as an answer and reads the inscription
It translates to "poison dagger," "venom knife," or something similar.
