Vannithos peers about the city with a bit more interest than usual, feeling overwhelmed by all of the lively sights and sounds. He thought himself rather worldly, having ventured outside his muted homeland, but...how can people stand to live in a such a garish place long-term? "...Yes, that makes the most sense." He murmurs in agreement with Vadania, ready to focus on their business here.

Engelheart still rubbing the stamp off his hand. "Seriously, what is even the point. Are they worried someone might sneak aboard a FREE ship." Noticing the other look at castle, he did the same. It was rather impressive that folks could build such a place, that prison might actually be large enough to make you forget that you are trapped in it. Engelheart liked his freedom too much too ever settle down in a place like that, too permanent.
After making the brief journey to the castle, you encounter two soldiers guarding the entrance in shiny metal armor and wielding halberds adorned with feathers where the shaft meets the head. One of the guards asks in a voice somewhat muffled by his mask, "What is your business with the royal court?"
"Funny you shoukd ask my dear man." Engelheart steps forward a bit. "We are investitrackers, currently are investigating a sudden influx of vampiric activities and are actively tracking those ringleaders behind it. We seek an audience to exchange information about what we know and have discovered and wish to ask if any further information or investigations can be assisted with. All can see the mutual benefit of success, correct?"
"All vampiric matters are to be taken to Head Advisor Daris. Please follow me." The guard leads you inside the castle, where you see a massive hall with an exotic red carpet leading to an empty throne. In the back right and left corners of the room are stairs leading to the floor above you. The guard takes you up the flight of stairs on the right, and leads you to an office with a Gnome in it. He seems to be quite old, and hardly notices you at the door. "Head Advisor Daris, I've got a group here claiming they have information on the vampires."
"Ah. Very good then. Please, sit." He gestures at the chairs in front of you. "And I see you've got a young child here as well... not something I typically see paired with the issue of vampires. What's your name lad?"
"Garil." Daris freezes. He stares at Garil as if he had just seen a ghost, before giving a shaky smile and nodding. "I uh, see. Very nice. Anyways what exactly has brought you here today?"
Vadania clocks the Advisor's discomfort but she holds her tongue for now. She is content to let the professionals speak first before she comes with her own questions. After all, her party members would probably know about this business more than a volunteer like herself.
Vannithos steps forward with the consecrated box in hand, opening it for a moment so the gnome can see the necklaces before carefully shutting it again.
"We've encountered a few vampires who wore these, as well as a fellow named Skeer. There are also rumors about a supposed witch named Lohse. Do you know anything about them? And...why do you seem so...pale at hearing the name 'Garil'?"
"L-Lohse? Where could you have..." He walks to the entrance of the office and calls for a guard. "Here lad. Do you mind stepping out of the room for a bit? There's something the adults need to discuss. This friendly man here will watch after you." After Garil steps out, Daris quickly shuts the door and returns his attention to you. "That name, Lohse. Where did you hear it? Spare no detail, this is of utmost importance."

Insight on his answer: 16
You can see there is genuine distress in his answer. He is clearly quite nervous and jittery at the moment, as compared to the tired old government official he was when you first met him.
Vadania growls, "Get a hold of yourself and quit dancing around the matter. What about Lohse and Garil has gotten you so spooked? We do not plan on hiding anything from you but honesty goes both ways. What do you know about Lohse and Garil and these vampires that you are not telling us?"
Engelheart slightly puzzled by the way Daris is behaving, "You know, my ears aren't much older then our little friend, I'll wait with him in the hall." Engelheart isn't sure what Daris is up too but he didn't like the boy in the hall with a guard and everyone seeming to know who Garil is. Engelheart will exit the room with Garil.

Vadania adds, "There also seems to be multiple people going by the name Skeer."
