Nawien finally stopped. While catching her breath she was trying to understand where she is and what to do know. Oh, and who, by all hells and heavens, is this by the wall?
Design, if you can call it that, of "Lightning Toad" did not look like anything remotely acceptable in that part of the city. If it was indeed that part of the city. "Where am I? Where is Ben? And what to do now?" - She was awkwardly staring at the figure near the wall trying to guesstimate the situation.
Now that you have recovered from the exhausting charade you can see that the figure by the sign is orc.. ish. He stands in front of a dark mass just feet away from him. He has a bow in hands pointing it like a staff at the ground where the mass lay.
From behind you, you can hear the heavy footsteps of someone approaching. When you turn to see who, or what, it is you are greeted with the relieved and short of breath Ben. He bends down, hands on knees panting for oxogen.
[OOC] Did I get it right and Nawien was able to understand that "dark mass" is an elf?
- Thank the gods you are here! - Nawien was truly relieved to see Ben. She continued with fast whispering, tryong not to get attention that orcish figure. Stories of orc's murdering anything that moves were never her favorite. - The elf... You see, I could see the way, but it stopped here! And now you see that orc and something on the ground! You know how orcs hate elves and always kill when they see them! I think he did it - saw out elf and just murdered him! We should call the guards!
OOC:the blurred out mass was draging the body also about to edit this to an actual reply
Ben looks confused still catching his breath before replying "I hope your right, these parts are dangerous and it sounds like we might be happening apon something we shouldnt." "In any case we have to find the customer still. Also any law figure is all the way near the night lounge we first stopped at.
You see a few people step out the door the orc stands near.
A grin spread across Marun's face and he cracks his knuckles. He picks up his backpack from the ground beside his stool and puts it on the counter."Here. Look after this for me." He makes his way to war the back of the room with just his battle axe (sheathed) and his mace (in hand). As he walks he picks up a bit of a natural swagger to his gait and his head pivots to be aware of the people around him. He doesn't want to get caught unaware by others who might feel the need to join in the discussion he was about to have. He also felt it best to get a good layout of the room.
I have included rolls for things you may need. feel free to ignore the ones that aren't relevant.

As Marun heads toward the back of the inn he notices everyone looking toward the back door. He steps through the door and takes up a position to one side, standing tall and quickly scanning the area. In a loud voice, he says,"Laaz is not too happy about the commotion back here and I kinda agree with him. Anybody got something to say? or do I just start dragging off bodies?" Marun gives a half-smile as he watches and waits for an answer.
Intimidation: 12
Laaz stashes your backpack behind the bar with a nod before continuing to clean up some.
Just as you are about to reach for the back door you shout louder than everyone, yet at the same time as smooth as you would normally speak, "Laaz is not too happy about the commotion back here!! Then you continue in a ferocious turn of tone " I kinda agree with him, anybody got something to say?!" you challenge outraged before saying " Or do I just gotta start dragging off bodies?" You pause breifly waiting for an answer before continuing out to the alley. As you are still reaching for the door, you notice the bard to your right huddled on the stair case in a pathetic ball, You think to your self " so this is the source of the yelling" before continuing outside, mace ready, and vigilant.
*OOC* italics is gliched so ima do the rest italicized XD XD XD XD also ill do more on this post in just a little while.) ) ) )) )
As Marun reaches the back door he sees the bard huddled on the staircase, obviously a wreck. Offering a hand he pulls the bard to his feet, holds him firmly by the shoulders and looks him squarely in the eye to ensure he has their full attention. "You're safe now. Anything that comes through that door deals with me. Now...Breathe...Tell me what happened."
Persuassion: 14
The bard shakily points toward the exit, completely ignore the fact that there is another person that walks up to the corridor.
The door up the steps slams opens and your eyes widen from the site. The performer that entranced everyone hours ago stands in the doorway with a very agitated, yet curious, look on her face.
Her body glistens with sweat, her massive breasts (proportionately with a giant orc) bare for all to see. She hasnt noticed the lot of you before she yells " William! Where are you? Where's my stuff!".
Benagol tries to hold a smile but at least he smirks. He is now totally curious of what is going on (maybe a theft) and tries to follow without get in the way. If he meet the gaze of the dragonborn or of the bard, he gives them a quite inquisitive look
As you follow the others our the back door you see an orc standing with bow and arrow in hands, not drawn, several feet away lay a body with blood and another being stand beside it. The being standing beside the bloody body seems to be conversing with the orc.
"Biologics, I attempted to apprehend this Elf for questioning of his involvement in the illicit substances trade that has caused statistical spike in the sentient biologic mortality in this municipality. This Orc’s involvement is as a possible minor accomplice and I calculate he is what you biologicals deem a “petty criminal”. Based on his method of attack against me, he is a possible trafficker of non-sentient biologic specimens. There is no need to inform the constabulary at this time. This Elf must be verified as a source I. The toxic illicit substance trade. There is compensation offered by the municipality in this matter but only for correct suspects. "

The commotion had clearly been noticed and more people started showing up. People popping out of nearby doors or slowing down on the street to get a glimpse of what was happening. With all these people it would be almost impossible to find out what had happened, and there were too many witnesses to use his other methods to get information.
Marun worked frantically to piece together what is going on, but there seem to be crucial parts of the picture missing.

Marun walks out the back door the other by standard from the corridor follows behind.

"I think he did it - saw our elf and just murdered him! We should call the guards!" Two other figures, one female and one male, had just appeared on the scene, interrupting Marun's attempt to get information out of these figures. He wanted to throw his hands in the air or throw something at the two of them.
"Now hold on just a minute. Murder is a pretty heavy accusation to be throwing around. Where exactly is your proof?" Marun wanted to step between the two parties to make sure they didn't do anything foolish, but his first responsibility was to his new employer. He had better stay by the door and make sure this didn't end up heading inside. "Just being found near..." Marun indicated to the mess on the ground, shrugging a little as he spoke. "...doesn't mean they did it. If that were the case, I would be as guilty as they are."

The robot replies to your questioning of his doings with the elf "Biologics, I attempted to apprehend this Elf for questioning of his involvement in the illicit substances trade that has caused statistical spike in the sentient biologic mortality in this municipality.

As he says this several people begin stepping out of the back door
The dwarves "vehicle" goes completely motionless after turning toward you. Its mechanical parts still whirr and whizz occasionally the whole mechanism jerks and jolts briefly. The dwarf in the center stays stationary however, an interesting design for a seat.
"Ayyye!" He proclaims loudly "Pardon me for my rudeness im always walking around doing 5 things at once" he then says in a less thick dwarven accent than usual.
"My name is Larz"
"Ive just finished a long journey from the western foot hills of the Wastelands in search of rare minerals so i can build my newest contraption. Whereabouts is your homeland friend?" He climbs out of his machinery and fiddles with it before sitting down with you. The machine appears to be off completely now, but before it settles it sputters and backfires a little from the exhaust system that angles back behind the harness.
"Ah, bear it no mind laddie, I could tell you were ensconsed in that device. Doing five things at once? You must be more intelligent than a basic dwarf like me.
I come from Ironstar, which is in the Ironfoot Mountains to the north of here. The Ironfoot Mountains are a hard place to live, if you are on the outside, but our city of Ironstar is a wonderous sight, dug into the foot of the Ironstar as my clan has grown and mined them. My people are a hardy people, definitely more hardy than simple Hill Dwarves, we had to work for our survival. The ale is dark, the food is hot, and the company used to be pleasant until ...... never mind about my troubles."I trail off and mutter under my breath"Jorrol will die slowly"
"I tell you what lad, you missed a good show, best I've seen here since I arrived two days ago, or maybe you'd have been more interested in your trinkets maybe hahah? What kind of minerals are you looking for? Was it a long journey? Maybe you could find them up in the Ironfoot Mountains?"
"Where are you from lad? Your accent seems strange to me, you're not half-caste are you?" I lower my voice at this last question, and look carefully at him, trying to distinguish any marks or features. Perception - 15
If the server returns, I hand the ale to the other dwarf.
"So, your contraption, it requires some maintenance maybe? I've not seen the likes of it before, must have taken you some time to build it."
The waitress comes through placing two large mugs on either side of the table.
Larz takes a sip of his ale, this is a little odd as most dwarfs dont even know what the word "sip" means. You on the other hand have already gulped down a 3rd of your mug.
You see his eyes widen a little when you mention that you come from Ironstar., *OOC*( ill have to tweek how the conversation happens a little to answer all the questions) You interrupt your own conversation to ask if hes heard of the place.
Larz takes another sip of ale before excitedly saying "I havnt been there myself but every Dwarf knows of Ironstar. Your clan brought about the turning tides of victory when the Abyssal Army invaded the mainland of Arkadia. Not to mention almost all the metals that are used in all of the kingdoms comes from the mines of the Ironfoot Mountains." he says praisingly. He seems to dismiss the fact that you mentioned someone that must die, after all its none of his business.
"What kind of show? I supposed it would depend if I were on the brink of a breakthrough or not" "I didnt find the minerals I were in search for sadly, however i did find some interesting knowledge out about some of the mechanics of harnessing lightning and using it as a source." he says once again wide eyed, caught up in the excitement of his new discovery. When he realizes you looking confused he tries to change subjects. You then ask where his origins might be considering the odd accent and follow up with the halfcast question.
He looks taken aback, "DEEEFinately not a halfcast" he says before adding " Ive just focused on more of the mechanical and science part of our origins is all. My studies have broadened my vocabulary and speech a little more than the casual dwarf thats for sure."
You apologies not meaning to offend and he accepts with reasurance that it is ok. Then a scream comes from what would seem like the back end of the tavern, by the exit.
**OOC** No problems, I know it can be hard to do conversations when it's not face to face :)
I accept the praise, and bang my mug against his. I'm curious as to his background, and where Larzz is from.
"Aye, my Father is the Captain of the Guard, and led troops in those battles. Well, laddie, I'm sure you would have noticed regardless if you were in here. An Orc and a Goliath were making eyes at each other, and it got very hands on shall we say,"as an aside, "I guess it may have been more entertaining if it wasn't an Orc.
Well, you definitely sound like you have an interesting life. Have you been away from your clan for a long time?"
As I was about to prompt him further about his contraption and discoveries (even though I am confused, it does make me curious). I hear the scream.
I look towards the back door, do I see anything out of the ordinary? Perception - 12
"Did you hear that laddie?"
Larzz clings his mug to yours before chugging a tad bit of it.
His eyebrow arcs in curiousity "An orc and a goliath, now ive heard it all" he says with a smile in the corner of his mouth." He then clinks his mug with yours saying "Your father was as brave and heroic as they come!! If it wrnt for him. . well lets just say life wouldn't be as fun." before taking a long chug of his ale, in fact almost the whole mug.
"Interesting is an understatement, i have made break throughs that might change the whole of life itself in Arkadia that is if i survive long enough to see it through. The world is a dangerous place my friend."
When you ask your last question, of his clan, he chugs the rest of his ale and half of the mug the waitress has brought the both of you amidst the conversations. He looks away from you toward the ground as he begins "The dwarves of Du'Randu'uer found me. I was but a wee baby when they found me deep in the mines. They say I was brought by magic of some kind. The dwarfs ive talked to (that is the ones still alive) after becoming age enough to understand, say that as they were working hard at the mountain a bright arcaneic symbol appeared in the center of the room. By the time the dwarves eyes re adjusted they saw a wee figure in the shadows. And that shadowy figure appears to have been me."
He looks up at you slightly teary eyed " I have no clan, ever since i could walk ive been wonderin on my own" he then looks at his vehicle intensely before answering your question of the scream.
"Nothin out of the ordinary, better to mind your own business in these parts." "The law doesnt come here my friend, not unless they are ordered to."
"Well Laddie it sounds an interesting story. I want to keep talking to you about it, but someone needs some help.
You can come with me or here, hold my ale, I will be back."
I get up, take a swig of .my ale and quietly take Khaz Zongr (my battle axe) off my belt and stalk out the back. I come across the congregation out the back "well this looks rather congenial. Except for that wee Elf over there it almost looks friendly."
You stand next to some kind of dragonkin and a human. In front of you is a bow wielding orc, at ease. On the ground several feet from him is a pool of blood in which lays a body. Standing beside the body is an artificially made looking mechanism that proclaims in defence "Biologics, I attempted to apprehend this Elf for questioning of his involvement in the illicit substances trade that has caused statistical spike in the sentient biologic mortality in this municipality. This Orc’s involvement is as a possible minor accomplice and I calculate he is what you biologicals deem a “petty criminal”.

This Elf must be verified as a source I. The toxic illicit substance trade. There is compensation offered by the municipality in this matter but only for correct suspects. "
Sumazara retreats further not to get caught,the view is hard to see now at this distance but you hear the seemingly accused tribesman bellow loudly in what elvin dialect you can understand " I cannot kill him. If my death brings you peace then return me to the earth." There is a brief pause before you see the other elfs entanglement end. "YOU MAY BRAND ME A BLASPHEMER, but i die happily knowing my place" he then drops his wepon and drops to hid knees. His mouth moves but you cant hear at this distance.
The praying? elfs opponent begins chanting in a way you cant understand. His body almost "dances" about, then he ends the performance by slamming his hands together (in a kamehameha way) producing a maaasive, yellow, concentration of electricity where he then steps one foot forward in a stabilizing stance.
The next thing you see is the branches and leaves that make up the canopy. You realize you are laying on your back and cant hear anything.
Waiting for the ringing in her ears to stop Sumazura will sit up with a surprised expression on her face and say
"What in the 9 hells just happened?! That blast knocked me down from over 30' away."
Getting back to her feet she will check to make sure she and her walking stick are okay before looking back to the fight.
Now that you've regained your composure you remember what happened.
When the massive bright energy directly collided with the kneeling tribesman there was a booming effect as the energy mass reflected off of him shooting in the air directly above.
The crowd that surround the two also seem to have been blasted back, alot of them unmoving and some stagger to there feet, ears bleeding. The Elders still set on the raised stage unharmed, untouched.
"Blasphemy!" your hear the offensive tribesman say. He then runs up and kicks the knelt down tribesman hard. The victim still sets motionless.
You think to yourself "should i help him? If he keeps doing nothing surely they will kill him"
As the dragonman exits into the alley he speaks loudly obviously agitated before stopping to survey the scene "Seriously guys, you gotta keep it down out here. The commotion is disturbing the patrons and Larzz is getting pissed. Now, what seems to be the problem?"
Nawien finally stopped. While catching her breath she was trying to understand where she is and what to do know. Oh, and who, by all hells and heavens, is this by the wall?
Design, if you can call it that, of "Lightning Toad" did not look like anything remotely acceptable in that part of the city. If it was indeed that part of the city. "Where am I? Where is Ben? And what to do now?" - She was awkwardly staring at the figure near the wall trying to guesstimate the situation.
Now that you have recovered from the exhausting charade you can see that the figure by the sign is orc.. ish. He stands in front of a dark mass just feet away from him. He has a bow in hands pointing it like a staff at the ground where the mass lay.
From behind you, you can hear the heavy footsteps of someone approaching. When you turn to see who, or what, it is you are greeted with the relieved and short of breath Ben. He bends down, hands on knees panting for oxogen.
[OOC] Did I get it right and Nawien was able to understand that "dark mass" is an elf?
- Thank the gods you are here! - Nawien was truly relieved to see Ben. She continued with fast whispering, tryong not to get attention that orcish figure.

You know how orcs hate elves and always kill when they see them! I think he did it - saw out elf and just murdered him! We should call the guards!

Ben looks confused still catching his breath before replying "I hope your right, these parts are dangerous and it sounds like we might be happening apon something we shouldnt." "In any case we have to find the customer still. Also any law figure is all the way near the night lounge we first stopped at.
You see a few people step out the door the orc stands near.
- If I am right - that body on the ground IS our customer and we already happen on the worst, because he is dead. - Nawien realised she was still whispering and added in a normal voice. - At least we can make sure we have done everything we could. Let's go see.
At a closer look orc was less "orc-ish" - half-bred? - and much more impressive (in a scary way) mechanoid was casually confessing to the gathering crowd the murder and the reasons for it. Murderous mechanoid did not look like someone, a random person person can demand evidences from, that much Nawien understand, but if he was right, it raised some interesting questions. She dragged Ben aside and- again - quietly whispered to his ear: - So? IS he our client? The body? Or should we look inside? Because if he is - what exactly you were supposed to give him?

Ben still looks confused before saying "The Elf on the floor does seem to fit my description" he then reaches in a hidden pocket within his over coat and pulls out a medallion. The medallion sets on a black shiny chain, the medallion itself is gold and has the same symbol from your "vision"? He holds it in his hand before adding "Alex never seemed like like the shady type. He also never mentioned anything other than how important the dealing was. If that is him we need to figure out what happened so the boss can take the "proper "course of action. (This is the opening to your post to be sure you can react efficiently)
Amygdala speaks primordial to his brethren " I hope you are prepared as I!" Amygdala prays to the Moon Goddess Xuenesh first then to the nature spirits of the Ordun'Ra Then cast in entangled with staff of the Wildwood then strafe as the battle starts, throw caltrops on top of him to further immobilize his movement then move in plant scrap metal around him farther away an attempt to subdue him.
Your entanglement spell is a success and AE'llzolt is rooted where he stands. He immediately sends a lightning bolt towards you, lucky enough you have already begun strifeing and the bolt wizzes past eye level. The crowd is also lucky enough to move out of the way just as it passes striking a tree in the distance. The spell catches you off guard and you think to yourself, how was he able to do such a powerful spell in an instant. Thats when you hear another voice in your head, "Such is the power of my gifts, with a little practice. Now stop where you are and let him hit you with the next one " he says in a promising tone. "Its the only way they will believe you" his voice echoes before fading back to silence.
Amygdala speaks to his brethren " I can not slay him! He shouts .he drops his weapons and prays for his fellow elf ,if my death brings you peace return me to the earth! You may brand me a coward but I die happily knowing my place A HARBINGER SO STRIKE ME DOWN SO WE ALL KNOW PEACE ! I call away entanglement.
You stop in your tracks, drop your wepon, and preech/pray. "If my death brings you peace, return me to the earth! You may brand me a blasphemer but I die happily knowing my place." Your entanglement spell disperses and you bellow loudly "A HARBINGER SO STRIKE ME DOW. SO WE ALL KNOW PEACE!!"
At this your opponent responds with "You are a FOOL!" He then chants a short spell of some kind and performs a series of body gestures and hand signs.
Surrounding you is a very odd realm of existence, everything is strange and vibrant in color. The entity from before stands in front of you as your are still knelt down praying for your adversary.
"Rise friend, it delights me to see you have heeded my instruction." He awaits patiently for reply.
Amydgala stands and and basks in the green moonlight ever present ,feels the grass beneath his feet , the heartbeat of Ordan'Ra pulsing through him like a crawling heat deep within.The wind blows the wood creaks something has changed. Have you truly saved me Zeal? What is this place we are now some other world the domain of your own? What is this great power I feel as if all the eyes of the gods are on me it's magnificent, unexplainable. What must I do now?
Zeal replies now eye level as you stand "This is the plane of higher beings, its more vast than the universe itself, you are safe though as long as i am present." "The power your feeling is the unnatural "source" of your being that manifests in this realm, along with everyone else in proximity. Now you will leave this land. You must journey to the ancient tribes of the sand. Here you will become one step closer to your desires as well as mine."
When you open your eyes your opponent stands red and furious, even out raged. Everyone and everything around is blowan on the floor or struggling to stand except the Elders with their magical essence protecting them.
You see a bright spectacle flying toward the gods above.

From behind you, you can hear the heavy footsteps of someone approaching. When you turn to see who, or what, it is you are greeted with the relieved and short of breath Ben. He bends down, hands on knees panting for oxogen.
[OOC] Did I get it right and Nawien was able to understand that "dark mass" is an elf?
- Thank the gods you are here! - Nawien was truly relieved to see Ben. She continued with fast whispering, tryong not to get attention that orcish figure. Stories of orc's murdering anything that moves were never her favorite. - The elf... You see, I could see the way, but it stopped here! And now you see that orc and something on the ground! You know how orcs hate elves and always kill when they see them! I think he did it - saw out elf and just murdered him! We should call the guards!
"I think he did it - saw our elf and just murdered him! We should call the guards!" Two other figures, one female and one male, had just appeared on the scene, interrupting Marun's attempt to get information out of these figures. He wanted to throw his hands in the air or throw something at the two of them.
"Now hold on just a minute. Murder is a pretty heavy accusation to be throwing around. Where exactly is your proof?" Marun wanted to step between the two parties to make sure they didn't do anything foolish, but his first responsibility was to his new employer. He had better stay by the door and make sure this didn't end up heading inside. "Just being found near..." Marun indicated to the mess on the ground, shrugging a little as he spoke. "...doesn't mean they did it. If that were the case, I would be as guilty as they are."
Marun works frantically to piece together what is going on, but there seem to be crucial parts of the picture missing.

Thokk - Taking a sideways glance towards the newcomers while trying to keep his attention on the mechanical being Thokk begins to think about how best to get out of this situation that started out as a simple trade. Thokk thinks, "It's getting a bit crowded around here...what should I do? Why does this thing keep talking?! Wait...what did that thing say? Apprehend? Questioning? Petty Criminal?!

You seem to be captivated by the events unfolding before you.
Unseen by anyone, due to your high stealth and other abilities, you set atop a building within the outer limits of ring city. Your original intention was to obtain more knowledge of the sudden, substantial amounts, of overdoses from an unknown substances.
You've tracked your target all over town where, it would appear, your lead in this investigation has died. Several individuals have showed up on the event and you dont think acting first will help anything. You watch with anticipation.
You didnt leave your kingdom just to have to come back empty handed and there is still the matter of the dead HifhElf in ring city. This could cause war if not treated carefully.
You decide to "wait and see" as you summon 5 Elite Blank Wisps.
Ben still looks confused before saying "The Elf on the floor does seem to fit my description" he then reaches in a hidden pocket within his over coat and pulls out a medallion. The medallion sets on a black shiny chain, the medallion itself is gold and has the same symbol from your "vision"? He holds it in his hand before adding "Alex never seemed like like the shady type. He also never mentioned anything other than how important the dealing was. If that is him we need to figure out what happened so the boss can take the "proper "course of action. (This is the opening to your post to be sure you can react efficiently)
- But we DO know what happened here - that thing over there confessed the murder.- Torn between instincts, screaming "run and hid" and curiosity Nawien become a bit irritated. - I do not know if he is some kind of vigilante or a bounty hunter, but he hunted down our customer and killed him. And if that medallion belonged to the customer, then it is definitely him - I was following that symbol in my visions.
- I think we should return, give back the medallion to Mr. Elles, and explain, that the customer is killed and marked as a criminal, so, better not to associate with him in any way, - she added regretfully. - Do not think we can learn more here.
Despite her words she did not rush away but was standing a bit of a distance from the body waiting for anything else to happen with a look "we were just passing by and stumbled upon a scandal" - pure curiosity, nothing else. She was practically projecting Innocent curiosity.
Waiting for the ringing in her ears to stop Sumazura will sit up with a surprised expression on her face and say
"What in the 9 hells just happened?! That blast knocked me down from over 30' away."
Getting back to her feet she will check to make sure she and her walking stick are okay before looking back to the fight.
Now that you've regained your composure you remember what happened.
When the massive bright energy directly collided with the kneeling tribesman there was a booming effect as the energy mass reflected off of him shooting in the air directly above.
The crowd that surround the two also seem to have been blasted back, alot of them unmoving and some stagger to there feet, ears bleeding. The Elders still set on the raised stage unharmed, untouched.
"Blasphemy!" your hear the offensive tribesman say. He then runs up and kicks the knelt down tribesman hard. The victim still sets motionless.
You think to yourself "should i help him? If he keeps doing nothing surely they will kill him"
Grabbing a rock she finds on the forest floor she will throw it as far as she can into the forest in a direction other than back towards the village she just came from. Hunkering down she will wait to see if the tribe moves in to investigate.
"I hope they fall for it, I don't know what I'll do other wise..."
If they do more towards the sound of the rock she will dash towards him.

Marun struggled to grapple with this idea of the mechanical creature. It couldn't possibly be a suit of armour that was being worn and the way it interacted with people around it made it feel like it didn't have a soul. It was as if a pot or a stone had suddenly started to move on its own and talk. It was far from what he had expected when he exited the tavern, and now to hear that it had killed someone? Could you trust something that didn't have a heart beating in its chest, or was it as cold as the steel it was made out of?
The half-orc holding the bow suddenly became very angry, turning on the mechanical man who seemed to be accusing him of a crime. Even though the anger was not directed at him, he felt the fire burning behind those words. This was familiar territory. How else was a captain supposed to control the will of dozens of unruly seafaring rogues, whose only thoughts were their next fight and their next pinch of gold?
The tension was thick and Marun could feel things bubbling up. He would have to decide quickly which side to support in this moment. He had inserted himself too much into the situation already to simply step back, and besides, it had been a few days since he had last cracked a skull. From the little conversation he had caught he figured that this half-orc and an elf, now seeping slowly across the pavement, had met and were involved in some, possibly, illegal activity. Marun could hardly hold that against them, but they had managed to get caught. This machine had tracked them down and tried to 'question' the elf, resulting in the scene before him. "Could it be some kind of law enforcement?"If so it might have the backing of the whole city, but then again it wasn't exactly living. Not like the rest of us anyway.
Marun stepped up beside the half-orc. "Look," Marun stared at the eyes of the machine, searching for a glimmer of something more than mechanics behind them. "I don't care who you work for or what you are. That was a person you just killed, and there's NO ONE to say it was justified except you, the...thing...standing over the body. That's not the way things work under my watch. Now, I would thank you to think about your next actions very carefully"

Looking at the scene as I walk out, I can see that it is complicated, thinking "maybe I should have stuck to my ale, and that young Larzz, he may know something of what's going on" however decide to stay outside. Something obviously has gone wrong, and someone needs to pay, but who?
"They're some big words there," speaking to the confessed killer of the elf, "and I might be a little in my ale, but tell us plainly what it is that the Elf has done (or you say he's done). I don't think you're part of the city guard, so who are you working for? And like he said,"I gesture to the Dragonborn standing near me, "watch your next words"

- If I am right - that body on the ground IS our customer and we already happen on the worst, because he is dead. - Nawien realised she was still whispering and added in a normal voice. - At least we can make sure we have done everything we could. Let's go see.
At a closer look orc was less "orc-ish" - half-bred? - and much more impressive (in a scary way) mechanoid was casually confessing to the gathering crowd the murder and the reasons for it. Murderous mechanoid did not look like someone, a random person person can demand evidences from, that much Nawien understand, but if he was right, it raised some interesting questions. She dragged Ben aside and- again - quietly whispered to his ear: - So? IS he our client? The body? Or should we look inside? Because if he is - what exactly you were supposed to give him?
