It takes some time, but you make your way back to Lord Kent's Keep. The guards at the front gate are expecting you, and you see that now both their helmet visors are up and you can see that they are both Orcs. You walk in to the courtyard and see the hooded man, presumably waiting for you.
Dice would send his invisible imp to fly and hover quietly directly behind the hooded figure, a couple feet above his head. As Dice walks towards the hooded figure, he will communicate to him through his mind "Hello... I don't think we had the chance to introduce ourselves before... My name is Dice..."
He pulls back his hood to reveal his face. He's a human man with a shaved head. He also has a tattoo on the side of his head of the same crescent moon shape that Brigit had. "Greetings, my name's Uther, please follow me." and he starts walking towards Lord Kent's room.
You can tell hes got something on his hip, under his robe.
You get back up to Lord Kent's room, and the room is empty but the secret door he opened before is standing open. He emerges from there when he hears you and Uther come in. "Welcome back, " he says dryly, "Are we all set then? Your business is concluded with the mayor?"
"I've been looking for this staff and this crypt for years, and we're finally on the cusp of locating it. Tuatha was so beloved by the land after her conquest of Varsullicraxus that a sudo religion was formed around her almost instantly. The first temple created for her was actually also her final resting place. But it's location has been lost to time. That is, until recently, I have used the information I've found, as well as more that I have procured from other sources, and come up with a possible location. There was a village, located in the Pelwood, called Solymus, that was consumed in a forest fire, some hundreds of years ago. And I've found evidence that the crypt is under a temple that was just outside of Solymus." he looks at you to make sure you're following along.
"Anyway, there's also evidence that the crpyt wa heavily guarded and trapped to make sure nobody ever disturbed the goddesses resting place. So I need someone with knowledge of such things to escort Uther there for me and bring it back here."
"Uther is coming along because he knows more about Danu de Tuatha then you, and you might need him. Also, yes, I'd like him to keep an eye on you. Is that a problem?"
Dice would sit at the table and use his mimic ability to order whatever food one of the other patrons was eating.
They bring you a plate of chicken and potatoes. "Enjoy."
Kay im bored, lets blast through some Kenku Quest! whatcha doing in the inn?!
Dice will eat his food and listen for any good conversations going on.
***If I leave will I get back to the castle before night fall?***
**Yeah, you can get back by tonight.**
You hear people talking about this season's harvest, and some people are talking about the attack from the from a few weeks ago.
Dice will finish his meal and head out of town towards Kent's castle.
It takes some time, but you make your way back to Lord Kent's Keep. The guards at the front gate are expecting you, and you see that now both their helmet visors are up and you can see that they are both Orcs. You walk in to the courtyard and see the hooded man, presumably waiting for you.

Dice will follow him while also trying to scan him for any weapons. He will instruct his familiar to circle him and look as well.

"Yes, now how may I be of service to you?"

Dice is noding and paying attention closely (and because he is a kenku he could repeat everything he just said back to him word for word in his voice)
"Anyway, there's also evidence that the crpyt wa heavily guarded and trapped to make sure nobody ever disturbed the goddesses resting place. So I need someone with knowledge of such things to escort Uther there for me and bring it back here."
Dice will nod again to Kent "So is Uther coming along to babysit me... or are you not telling me everything?"Dice will say to him in his mind..
"Uther is coming along because he knows more about Danu de Tuatha then you, and you might need him. Also, yes, I'd like him to keep an eye on you. Is that a problem?"
"Just curious is all....I am sure Uther and I will get along just fine" Dice will say in his mind. So when do we leave?
"Whenever you're ready, I've prepared horses for you both, they're out in the stables." and he hands Uther a small pack, "Good luck, both of you."
Dice will nod to Kent. "I am ready now"
