"I am feeling like my usual self, Hatt." He notices Hatt is looking for the ring so he casually scratches his chin with his right hand, which has the ring on the middle finger.
Hatt is relieved to see the ring, and then feels less relieved. A tie to Slopsola. No, not a good thing. Not a solution. Nevertheless, he says: That's great. Well, I feel like I've taken up too muh of your time, Sargt. Take care of yourself, and your brother, and I hope to see you again. He looks to Bennett, Karra and Gasp: Shall we all head to...err... where are we going again?
"...Well, if Lord Opsola sent you two...During my last confession, the priestess seemed bothered by something. Like she was worried about something. Even kept glancing about the cathedral, like she was looking out for someone or waiting for someone. She never said who but it was pretty obvious that she was...Is she alright? Did something happen on her pilgrimage?"
@Tower
Sargt nods, "Yes, its just the west of the bazaar. It's the place for entertainment for the people and I have the men train there in sparing matches against the gladiators there. And you all take care as well, good luck on your task." Sargt heads off to join with his men.
Gasp is still fiddling around with the ring, marveling at it while he follows Bennett around like a lost puppy. In fact, he ends up running smack into him at some point when Hatt joins them. Gasp gives the sound of a ships bell ringing as he's startled!
Bennett chuckles at Gasp. He nods farewell to Sargt and looks at Hatt, "Lord Niyra is at the docks. We can either go visit him or go find the newlyweds."
Lead on, oh great leader, says Hatt, with a surprising amount of enthusiasm. At least we're doing something, I suppose. It always feels good to have a goal in sight.
When he's sure they're too far for Sargt or anyone else to overhear them he asks; So, the ring, it protects you from the need to see her, is that right? This need is the curse, the thing that drove the tortle pirate mad? But it doesn't protect you... and do please wave or something if this is getting onto dangerous territory, but the ring doesn't protect you from the thing that stops you talking about the whole matter. The thing that almost killedyou. Because Opsola did that, didn't he. Deliberately. With your knowing consent? he asks, genuinely curious. Or have I misunderstood yet again.
Bennett will start to head to the docks where they got off the boat from Cresthall.
"Yes and yes to your first two questions, my friend. As far as I know Gasp and I just can't say the name of Opsola's friend. Opsola did have her say to not speak of this to you guys. When she spoke I believe it triggered some part of the curse."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
She has become a powerful weapon in Opsola's hands, muses Hatt. He 'had' her say this? I wonder what she thinks about all of this. Her true voice, so to speak. No, he shakes his head at Bennett, don't answer. I'm just rambling aloud, and I wouldn't want you guys to get hurt. Let's see what this fellow has to say. As they get closer to the docks, Hatt tries to see if they're in the same part of the docks as they arrived from Cresthall: Perception: 11
I believe she is fine, but we think something may have happened to her spiritually and now she cannot interact with people. I'm not sure how much more i can say. I have probably said too much as it is. Ashley looks to Crispy as she tries not to ramble on.

"A weapon? Possibly. I'm sure she wants to get rid of whatever curse is upon her. I know I would... am." Bennett sighs and keeps walking to the docks.
"Wait, so...the priestess is back then? She just can't meet her people? Is she the cursed one you guys were talking about?
@Docks
You all left the royal quarters and went through the bazaar. You can tell you were approaching the docks by the swaying sails and the sea coming into view. You're in a busier part of the docks, with more travelers and merchants leaving and coming into the city. Further down, you can see the same ship you all arrived on. It is looking in better condition than before, having been attacked by a dragon turtle. And there is more crew now.
Hatt is looking out for any kind of official building that might be a port authority, or a guard station, or anything like that. As he passes by their old ship, he waves at the crew, but doesn't go up to talk unless they seem keen to do so. They probably don't have happy memories of our journey together, he thinks. Hmmm. I wonder if they've told tales of our voyage, of the series of misfortunes that we encountered. He grimaces, and considers whether any ship will be willing to carry such luckless folk back to Cresthall.
I'm not sure to be honest. Opsala said that a couple of my companions met with her, and now mentioning her name brings them intense pain. He believes you might be able to help. Ashley takes a pause to regain some composure and calm herself. He believes you may have been one of the last people to speak with her.

"Can you think of anything that may have caused this..kinda of..curse." Crispy adds, putting a conforting hand on Ashley. "We need to know. Our friends are being affected by this."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Bennett nods in recognition to the former crew. "Think they'd be willing to take us back to Cresthall?"Bennett says jokingly as he chuckles. He will ask around the docks for Lord Niyra.
"...The advisor won't be able to know that unless he asks Myra himself...And they both left at the same time as well...The commander said he's back so..." Conner looks back and motions to the guards at the gate. They both nod and head into the wall. Conner looks back, "I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask the two of you stop investigating. It's clear this is a royal incident, with Opsola at the center. I'll have my men search the tower under suspicion of holding or harming the princess. And I ask that the two of you see vice commander, I don't want the commander to try and get defensive of his brother."

It takes little asking as you pass by the old ship you were on. More sailors in that part of the docks, they all point back to where you all entered the docks from. To a building with a green and black flag, with a motif of a silver staff.
Bennett nods in recognition to the former crew. "Think they'd be willing to take us back to Cresthall?"Bennett says jokingly as he chuckles. He will ask around the docks for Lord Niyra.
Hatt considers Bennett's question, and thinks of the 423 platinum pieces he owns and that Karra is carrying. If I were them, I think I would charge more than we could afford.
Hatt will enter the building with silver staff flag and go up to whatever most closely resembles a reception desk. Excuse me good sir/madam. I'm looking for a gentleman by the name of Lord Niyra, but as a newcomer to the city I don't know the people or places here well. Or at all, really. Do you know the name, and where its owner might be found?
((I'd assume Gasp is with Bennett.))

A young(like 16) and pretty attendant nods her head, "Yes, he is in his office right now, would you like to see him?"
As they depart the Quarry Ashley turns to her Cora and says That was the opposite of helpful. We might have made a bigger mess of things.
