Tarkin gathers his gear, takes the last gulp of his ale and heads out the door. Nodding to Mattias as he exits. Once outside "Seems best you lead the way Mattias."
Thardigord heads out of the building saying something about having an important errand to run before the shops close and Umuni quietly follows behind the party. (I'll move the post along, but if anyone wants to make a side stop before reaching the temple feel free to post it.)
With Mattias in the lead the party makes their way to the Grand Market Square and up to the steps of the Temple of Bahamut. The temple is one of the more larger buildings in the town both in height and size; and is adorn with with a few simple blue and silver banners that flank the door; above the door is a large decorative shield with a blue center, silver trim and a simple image of a white dragon's head in the center of the shield; the doors are currently closed. For a temple dedicated to a divine being, the outside looks to be built for function over decoration.

The knock echos in what sounds like a large chamber just beyond the doors. After about a minute or two of waiting the door quietly swings inward and standing before the group is a young female silver-scale dragonborn. She is wearing simple blue robes that end just before her ankles and she has a simple copper chain with a carved pendant of Bahamut's symbol. She stands in the doorway blinking a few times before speaking, "Um, can I help y'all with something?"

Tarkin steps forward and bows "Good Day. I'm Tarkin and these are my companions." He introduces all by name to the young dragonborn female. "We are here to inquire about the strange beast that attacked the market earlier today. We were hoping to speak to a member of the clergy to see if they could shed some light on the creature and maybe where it came from." Tarkin pauses "I'm sorry, I didnt get you name.."

The dragonborn gives a slight bow to the group, "It is nice to meet y'all; I'm Kava and one of the attendants here. I saw the creature from a distance." She shivers a bit thinking back. "It was hideous. I don't know how helpful we can be, but please come inside." Kava steps to one side and holds the door open for everyone. Getting a better look past the doors, the group can see that after a small foyer the room opens up to large central room, about fifty(50) feet wide and one-hundred(100) feet long. There is a central aisle, with wooden benches on either side, that runs from the entrance up to a slightly raised platform.

Once inside, the interior looks almost as unornate as the exterior with the exception of a few more banners and tapestries that have the depiction of Bahamut's symbol. Looking around there are several doors that are on either side of the room and the ceiling is about sixteen(16) feet up. All-in-all, this temple of Bahamut is very plain and simple compared to what has been heard about other temples to divine beings. Kava tilts her head to one side at Mattias' question, "Body? no one brought that creature's body here. I don't think the higher ups would allow it inside anyway." She tilts her head back up, "We do have the two GoR members that were initially attacked in the infirmary, I suppose y'all can speak with them."

“Yes, we’d like to speak to them, if only you would be so kind.” Nadarr speaks for the first time since the temple entered view. “And would you perchance know where the body ended up? I’d like to take another look at it, now that it’s not trying to kill me and mine.”
"Of course, follow me." Kava says and she moves off to the first door on the left. "I'm sorry y'all, I don't know where it ended up." Kava opens up the door and inside is a smaller room, about twenty(20) feet by forty(40) feet. There are simple cots that line the sides of the room every five(5) feet or so, starting about ten(10) feet in and ending close to the back wall. There are a handful of individuals laying on the cots, most of them appear to be ill; however there are a few injured as well. Kava leads the group through the room to two of the cots that are next to each other where there are two human males sitting up with a table between them.Each of them have bandages wrapped around them, the one on the left has them wrapped around the upper part of his right arm and around the top of his head; while the one on the right has bandages wrapped around his whole chest. They appear to be in the middle of a game of cribbage. "These are the two men that were attracted first. If y'all need anything I'll be attending to the other patients." With that Kava moves away and leaves the group standing around as the two men look up from their game with the one on the right saying, "You all new recruits that Ol' Kriv sent to check up on us? Well you can go back and tell em that Jasper and I still have a few more days of recovery left."

Nadarr shakes his head. “No, we’re not with the Guard. However, I was at the battle along with a companion of mine. I was wondering, can you recount for me exactly where the monster came from? How did it attack you? Did you get a better look at it than I did?”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
While Nadaar questions the two men, Mattias takes the opportunity to look over their bandages, checking for spots of blood where wounds might have opened and trying to see if he can tell what injuries lie beneath them.
Mattias is trying to deduce whatever he can about the size or strength of whatever caused these wounds, if he can use this information to ingratiate himself with the men as well, so much the better.
"Well ya see, Jasper and I, we aren't too sure where it came from. We never actually seen where the man walked from. We was patrolin' the Grand Market Square like we was told to and this fella in a brown robe comes walkin' up to us sayin' he isn't feelin' too good. So, Jasper and I start to help him to the temple..." Jasper, who has been sitting quietly so far pipes in his voice has a small squeak to it, "Well there was that patch on his robes, you 'member seein' that Horace? It was a strange symbol that it was." Horace, picks back up. "I was more concern about not catching his sickness to notice the details. Anyway, we was bringing him to the temple when he started makin' some kinda of ruckus and flailin' about wildly and before we knew it he was attacin' us, but parts of him weren't human no more." Horace shakes his head like he is trying to not believe his own story, and Jasper jumps in. "It went after Horace first, knocked him to the ground it did. Started tearin' into his armor, got some good shots in too. I tried to help get it off, but it turned around and got me in the arm and clubbed me head pretty good, sittin' there dazed I was. Then there was lots of shouting and we were brought in here."
As Jasper and Horace tell their story, Mattias will notice that the bandages are pretty fresh but there are spots of blood that are starting to show. Jasper, the one on the left, has a few small spot of blood showing on the bandages around his head, they look like they would be from something blunt. However, the bandages on his arm are showing more blood in a way that would suggest something sharp slashed across his arm about four times with somewhat equal distance between them. Horace, the one on the right, is mostly bandaged around his torso there are other bandages in place on parts of his arm and head, but they look like minor wounds. The bandages around his torso are showing signs that there are many lacerations in groups of four and five that have just been carved without thought on placement, similar to that of a wild animal's attack. Mattias isn't too sure how he is sitting up with those injuries let alone not in serious pain. Mattias can tell that these two are not intoxicated through alcoholic means, but what is subduing the pain is beyond him. If it were not for what the two men are saying and what Nadarr said earlier, Mattias would have assumed that some type of large animal attacked these two, possibly something close to a bear.

Tarkin walks over to Jasper with a pad and a stick of charcoal. "Jasper, do you think you could draw the symbol you saw?" "You said he started as a man and then changed into the beast?... hmmm sounds like some sort of transformation curse or spell. Maybe even some unsanctioned experiments." Tarkin thinks for a moment "Do you know what direct the man was coming from, you said he just showed up... but what was behind him when he approached you, like a vendor or something you might remember?" "Sorry for all the questions... right now you are our best leads" Tarkin steps back and walks a few paces "Last question I have.. While patrolling is there an area that seems off to you? Like an area the other guards might not like patrolling for any reason? Or even an area you arent allowed to patrol?"
Mattias can't help but be interested in what symbol the man will draw, but those spots of blood are worrying. He casts a glance around the room looking for Kava or another attendant.
If he can spot someone, Mattias will approach, pointing out the blood seeping through the bandages. Delving into his pack, he retrieves his healers kit to help and maybe get a closer look at those wounds...
Tarkin sees Mattias looking at the wounds and walks over while the man has the pad. "I see you looking at the wounds. Please tell me you dont think they are going to turn into those creatures do you?"

Jasper takes the pad and charcoal, "I can try to draw it, and it was as human as you and me, it was. Um...I think most of the market was behind him, I don't think we made it to where the market turns before it showed up. We're not suppose to patrol out side the town, but that is just for our safety; I mean there are members of the guard that do go beyond the town as scouts but that is it. Horace and I don't like being in the ol' town section 'cause it feels shady to us, but I've heard others not like being up in the fancy part of town; but no real specific area." Jasper then starts to drawn the symbol on the pad. Nadarr does recall that during his time in the GoR that there wasn't much in the way of off limits areas of town to patrol and that everyone seemed to have their preferred and least preferred areas to patrol. The more he listens to Jasper and Horace talk the more is seems like they might be relatively new to the GoR; most of the greenhorns never liked going to the old section of town. As Mattias looks around he spots Kava attending to a dwarf with a splinted arm; the dwarf doesn't look to happy about the whole thing. He is looking away from where Kava is tending to his arm and looks like he is silently brooding. Currently there are not any other attendants in the room, but with a small number of sick or injured the lack of attendants doesn't seem to be an issue. Getting Kava's attention about the bleeding, she nods and finished up with the dwarf before heading to a cabinet and getting a few bandage rolls and a jar with what looks like a thick paste or wax inside. (Mattias, make a Wisdom (Medicine) check with advantage if you are going to help change the bandages)

Mattias follows close behind Kava and sets himself down beside her. He watches as she works for a moment and springs into a controlled set of actions. Operating methodically and going through a set of actions he has been running through since he was a teenager, first with his parents, then siblings and finally on his own within his previous service.
His hands move fluidlf among hers, opening jars off ointment, providing a helpful finger for tying off bandages, passing the next tool until their task is done.
Kava watches at Mattias expertly helps her with caring for Jasper and Horace's bandages. During this time Mattias can get a better look at the wounds on both of them. Most of the wounds on Horace, though many and covering various parts of his chest, don't appear to be very deep and they all look like they were made from claws. There are a few wounds close to Horace's gut that are deeper but that is mostly due to the area being of softer tissue. As Mattias is helping Kava speaks up, "Where did you learn medical your medical skills? They are quite good and we could use more people with your skills here at the temple."
While Mattias and Kava are working on Horace; Jasper doodles away on the pad and finishes the picture handing the pad and charcoal back to Tarkin looking a bit proud of himself. "That is the symbol, that is and its pretty good work if I do say so myself." Looking at the picture Jasper drew, it kind of looks like a toddler drew it. The picture is that of a large circle with what looks like five S shapes with a triangle at one end of each S with smaller triangles along one side of the S and one side of the large triangles. The S shapes connect to a smaller circle in the center and they go around this small circle like spokes on a wagon wheel. Unfortunately, an artist Jasper is not.

"Kava, would it be possible to see the body?"
