Mark would have actually stayed with the group last night, with how things are going he doesn’t want any trouble at his home. 

(Sorry busy weekend) Erix is all good with the payment for now, hoping for the bag turning up later. He wouldn't have gambled and would definitely have voted against playing two powerful people against each other.

"Scouting seems like a good idea, if needed I can change into an animal to help scouting, or call forth a spirit to watch from above."

You all start making your way to Termnus Station to set up and plan for your caper. As you cross a bridge that views the city from a dizzying height, you hear a familiar voice from above. "Need a lift?" asks Sergeant Vilroy as she descends toward you in a skycoach.

"Come on board, plenty of room for you all!" Vilroy is smiling at you expectantly.

Elero marvels at the technology, then turns to the party. "Hop in?  Beats walking."

"Yeah, sure thing. Let's go."

Mark looks at the Skycoach, "Let's get flying" 

You all board the skycoach, with Vilroy driving. She's smiling brightly at you all, much happier than the somber mood you've noticed in the past. "So, what's been happening, can you tell me what you've learned so far?"

"We went to investigate the lead from your contact, who also split town immediately, when we got there all we found was a kind man who lost his son. We were able to find the little one and take care of the goblins who captured him. Before killing off the last goblin we were able to get that their boss was doing a trade today and despite not being sponsored by the Orin house we thought you, Vilroy, would want us to stop the criminal activity so we are glad you showed up to support us." Mark will look at the rest of the party, "Did I miss anything?"

"Nailed it." Elero gives a thumbs up, and is also interested how the sergeant takes this news. 

Vilroy seems to think to herself for a moment. “Well it seems you’ve uncovered more than I was expecting. This Garra seems like a bit of a problem hey!” She lets out a great guffaw. “Fastest way to get to Terminus is in the skycoach. Let’s get over there now and we can scope it out. Maybe try to find Garra’s safe house and get her before she causes any more mischief.” She turns the skycoach in midair and starts moving towards your destination. She sings a little song to herself as she goes.

Elero would like to see if she's surprised by this information, or if she's covering something up.  Is she genuinely happy with our progress and interested in capturing Garra, or is she surprised we've learned all of this, and maybe we've uncovered something she didn't want us to?

Insight check I think

Kit’s having the time of his life half hanging over the edge, “wooohooo thanks for the ride…and Garra, a problem indeed, have ya heard of ‘em? Must be pretty clever, and stupid, to be able to kidnap Mr Orien’s son.” 

Erix is happy with the lift, he always loved flying! He listens intently to the questions the others ask, and the answers to those questions.

Elero's Insight Roll: 15

Something definitely seems off about Vilroy's responses. In fact, she is not acting like herself at all. She's usually quite moody and grim, but is acting nonchalant and even singing to herself. Additionally, she doesn't seem surprised at all with your responses. In fact, if you think about it, you actually didn't say anything about Garra or Terminus Station. Vilroy is taking you right there though.

Elero  will pull out his Bag of Holding and start fashioning a stylus out of a piece of copper, in part to hide his now-shaking fingers as it's dawned on him what might be happening.  He'll shift so his back is to her and he's facing the party, and scrawl across the surface of the bag as he talks. "It's really great you came along when you did.  It might have been a long walk for us otherwise."

He'll use his first infusion to cause the stylus to write in glowing text across the surface of the bag How did she know where we were going, and that we're heading to find Garra?  Whose side is she on?

Once he's sure the party's read the message, he'll end the infusion.

Centurion, a bit oblivious to the "human" emotions,  tenses at the message.  "I have not ridden a sky coach since you rescued me and Tinker from the battlefield outside Barren Keep.  Have you heard from him lately?"

DM

“Barren Keep? Haven’t thought about that in years. I thought if anyone was gonna keep in contact with that coot Tinker it would be you Centurion.” She smiles over her shoulder at you.

Elero will look to Centurion for his reaction to that, then it'll occur to him that his face may not be capable of expressions that biologics can recognize, so he'll repeat that infusion, and write on the bag, Tap your right hand with your left hand if you just made that story up, and the sergeant is lying to us, or is maybe not actually herself.

Once he's sure Centurion's read the text, he'll dispel that infusion, too.
