Isala: No one follows you back to the Black Branch
Aodh: The guards are duped into the lie. They allow you to keep the rod, but not your other weapons. "So, what's your business?"

(I do not have time to give a long response at the moment on Alcashia's part. Suffice it to say he is interested, and wants to talk about said traps/magic.)

"I've a few questions, as well as a few other things to address, but only if it seems necessary to mention. I don't wish to waste their time with rumors alone."
Aodh plays with the truths at its disposal. These guards are but an annoyance, after all. They may have their uses another time, but it is not here for them.

Aodh: Level 20 Half-Elf Cleric of Life - Not really. It's a strange being that had possessed and broke down a level 20 Cleric of Life Domain, gaining his knowledge and power.

"The master Theos is not here at the moment. Would you like an audience with the Lady Tresea?"

"Right this way." The guards lead you through grand hallways and many rooms, some also grand, some simple. Eventually, the guards lead you to a door. "One moment." After a few seconds, the door opens, and a nice voice says "Come in."

"It seems they've paraphrased a few things...In any case, I have come with a few questions about your large population of Urchins. It seems that they've been left unattended for quite some time."

"Yes, we can't save them all. What would you suggest? Maybe you'll think of something we haven't."
She looks harried and stressed. She is moderately armored in all black, and except for pure white hair looks fairly young, around 28. A human female, with no visible weapon.

"Perhaps training a few of them to at least be able to successfully request the gods for food and water for them? I can provide them with nourishment, but I can not watch over them forever."
Aodh took note of the woman's less-than-rested appearance. Perhaps it could use this...
"May I inquire as to what is keeping you so busy? You look exhausted."

Aodh was bothered by the abruptness of the meeting. She said hello, spoke of few things, and then went straight to the next thing. This meant that she and the other one were practically busy.
"Very well, I will see how your executions are done."

So, you follow Tresea into the courtyard. A crowd has gathered, eager to see the criminal put to death. To your surprise, Alcashia is standing on the platform, a noose around his neck. He stares straight ahead, ignoring the jeers from the crowd.

After being told to get back to work, Lyssma has been quietly grumbling to herself. She sweeps the floors and does the dishes quickly, and eats the food provided to her without a word. She spends her time surreptitiously watching the orc proprietor, trying to figure out his routine, and to listen in on any conversations he has.
When Gorgox and Isala return to the inn, she acknowledges them but doesn't deter from her task.
The Orc generally keeps the patrons happy, walking around, talking to them and whatnot. Around the same time Aodh witnesses Alcashia about to be hung, you all realize he's not there any more. Suddenly a commotion springs up outside the Black Branch. Everyone goes out to see what's going on, including the Orc.

You end up in the square, near Aodh, but not close enough that it notices. You see what he does.

As Lyssma approaches, she takes in the method of the execution...what is the platform like, does the rope look strong, are there any weak points? Also, how large is the crowd, and how many guards on duty?

"Lousy criminals. We've had 4 executions this week. And another in a few minutes. I hate them, but they're "necessary" according to Theos."
Just then, the door opens and an elf pokes his head through. "Lady, they're ready in the courtyard."
She huffs then says, "We'll talk later. Feel free to watch, if you want." and storms out of the room.
