City of Cresthall

Karra ensure's he isn't garbed in the clothes he was using for his last visit to Opsola's manor. He isn't on guild business, so is in his usual travelling attire.

(Okay so G, B, H, and K are headed to Opsola. Where are A and C going to?)

Ashley is escorting Crispy there. Making sure she stays put of trouble along the way.

(Alright, so A and C are headed to see the guardsman. He's at the Quarry.)

@ Ashley and Crispy

After a 20 minute walk, you both see a very large quarry. Dug deep into the ground as it expands deeper and outwards. There is a clearly a fortified wall and more guards patrolling on one side as the other seems quite like the city. People have made homes into the stone and carting out stones or minerals out from deeper in the quarry. With people in uniforms going about with pickaxes and hammers, they seem content with being there. While the other side is behind a wall, there's a number of guards patrolling it and around it.

@ G, B, K, and H

As you head back to Opsola's tower, you see that there is more guards than usual. They're talking with the initiates there and keep guard over the entrance, unlike before where it was unguarded. They filter in and out of the tower, inspecting the outside then heading back in. They stop you from entering the tower. "Halt, I'm sorry but we can't allow any visitors today, we need to conduct an investigation." As the guard talks, you see a familiar face peer over them. It is Opsola's brother, Sargt, he walks on over and pats on the guard's shoulder, "Let them through men, they're guests of my brother. I doubt that they would have anything to do with what happened. Speaking of...I thought that you all were going to stay at the guest lodge?...Oh wait, did I not tell you all about the lodge. Ah, shit, my bad." Sargt gives a chuckles as the guards shake their head and step out of the way.

Bennett bows slightly, "Pleasure to see you again, Sargt. Hope all is well." He looks around, "Is everything okay? What happened?"

Karra doesn't say anything, just staring at Sargt. With what Opsola has been doing, he doesn't feel comfortable around anyone related to him, bloodline or otherwise.

(Are Ashley and Crispy are going to see one of the two people we need to investigate?  I thought we all decided to go together to Opsola's place, but only Gasp and Bennett would actually go in to see him, while Hatt, Crispy, Ashley and Karra wait nearby.  Did I misunderstand?)

(Honestly thought that Ashley and Crispy were fine with going out to see one of the people, that's why I asked before. Since Bennett said it shouldn't be too much trouble and Crispy says alright, let's go. Did not get confirmation if A and C were going with the group or headed to see the guardsman. I just inferred from before the food fight they meant the guardsman since Karra seems better suited to deal with nobles. I can retcon the whole quarry thing since it's just exposition for where the guardsman is, if A and C do want to stick with the group.)

It's fine how it is imo. What does Crispy think?

Crispy is ok with going to the quarry with her girl. As they approach, she scans the area looking for the amount of guards and perhaps a patrolling pattern. She gives Ashley a sly look as she finds a pickaxenon the floor and twirls it in her hand, implying an inside joke, before setting it back down again. She gives her a wink, and a sign that more or less says: alright, lets get this over with.

Ashley lets her bear take the lead.

Awww boo <3

(Who are we looking for? LOL)

(Some dude. Cant remember tbh)

"Alright, everyone listen up!" Crispy shouts out to everyone at the quarry, her hands on her hips, cocked in a sassy pose. "We're looking for some dude. We can't remember his name cuz, quite frankly, this campaign has taken so long I just, well, can't remember. Anyone seen this dude we're looking for?"

((A bird flies by Crispy as she says she forgot the name and it seems to be tweeting "Sir Connor"))

@Quarry

A few miners stare for a short while then shrug, heading back down or out of the quarry. The guards near the wall don't pay attention, their focus on keeping an eye out on anyone coming near the wall.

@Tower

Sargt waves his hand, "Ah, someone or something broke into the tower's strong room. Most people are saying it might be the Thri-keen but with what little they took, I'm not too keen on just calling those ants on this case. Whoever it was, don't know why they wanted that junk of a relic. We're tightening up the guards here till they fix the hole in the safe's floor, they melted a hole to get into there, can you believe that?" A few guards are stationed near stairs going down. The initiate from yesterday comes up to you all as he gives a bow of his head, "Ah, Commander Sargt, the mentors are done with setting the new alarms in place. Hello again, if you're looking for Lord Opsola, he's up in his quarters." He heads off to calm a few of the younger initiates as a rather large guard tries to talk to them.

"...By the name of...Sir Connor!" Crispy finally finishes. "Thanks..birdie!" she almost laughs.

I really need to pay more attention to Bennett. Ashley says with a bit of sad self reflection.

Looking confused, Crispy said, “Why? The bird told us what we need to know.”
