BITS

Bits looks a bit confused at first, but then realizes that not everyone has the same attitude about gathering and disposing of the dead.  He also thinks to himself...five deaders?  remind me not to come here for any healing.  "Aye Good sir, I'm here for the dea...I mean the items.  Five you say?  I hope they are not giant-kin.  Point me in the right direction and I will load the 'items' up.  maybe you have another entrance you wish me to use?  One with more.....'discretion'."

 "Yes, yes," the guardinal whispers. "Pull around to the back alley. I'll unlock the gate."

He disappears for a moment, then Bits hears the jangling of keys from a dark alley nearby. A thin spiked gate swings open and the man beckons Bits into the narrow passageway, shadowed by ornate gargoyles.

"Jules! You are back! Where did your instincts take you?"

 “Hello Sada! I went all the way to the Doomguard. Found this lovely little map. Trouble is, it’s in a strange script.”

 Sada squints at the map and tilts her head. "Hmm, yeah, looks like some kinda cipher. Haha, maybe it was meant to fall into the hands of a Transcendent Order 'cipher' like yourself. But it's certainly no language I've ever seen. I hear Ekthus is good at things like this, they might be able to take a look at it? I think they're leading a training session in the exercise field ahead."

Quote from Mesawolf >>

Ismaelar took the opportunity presented by the fight ending to have a quick surreptitious look and rummage for any valuables that he could spot and easily pocket on the deceased while also cleaning his dagger on a corpse. 

 

 Ismaelar is able to rustle up 8gp worth of coins, rings, and trinkets from the bodies, as he speaks: "I can't imagine this brawl has attracted the sort of interest we'd like to be associated with. It rarely does."

Raskival nods along, "Our dragonborn friend speaks wisely. Perhaps we should take this conversation elsewhere?"

Their warning is apt. As Habel starts to continue towards the Grand Bazaar, he finds the road ahead blocked by a squad of eight mounted Harmonium guards trotting around the corner, riding various steeds.

"What's going on here then?" the lead guard squints at Habel, Raskival, and Ismaelar, who stand suspiciously close the the fresh corpses bleeding out on the cobblestones.

 “I’ll go take a look for them. It did seem to be surprisingly underguarded… odd for the Doomguard. Thanks, Sada!” Jules begins moving towards the exercise field.

"Yes, yes," the guardinal whispers. "Pull around to the back alley. I'll unlock the gate."

He disappears for a moment, then Bits hears the jangling of keys from a dark alley nearby. A thin spiked gate swings open and the man beckons Bits into the narrow passageway, shadowed by ornate gargoyles. 

-------------------------------

Bits will try to pull his cart into the alleyway if it will fit, otherwise leave it blocking the entrance to the alleyway.  Bits will glance at the gargoyles as he passes, and also discretely take a look at the gate as he passes.  He is quiet as he heads in, wondering at what the secrecy is for.  He remains cautious making sure his blades are convenient.
