Ashtear lets the conversation flow around her, "Proof w ould be good-because she may be new to town, but so are we. So unless you have a method for absolute reveal-that won't end well. The original writ was for 2 missing family members, a good 3 or 4 weeks ago. But, we haven't asked who else has vanished in the interim. The Innkeep's words last night implied more than a few disappearences so either more have vanished, or the town is still abuzz over the 3. Either way, talking to the family, tracking the guild memeber, and building a timeline of events will give us at least a basic understanding of the city position."
Squinting briefly at the numbers here. "If its information gathering, did we want to move as one large noticable group-or do we want to split into "Family group" "Guards group" and or anything else?"
(Of course dependent on the Charm situation outcome)
Vulgrom raises an eyebrow, "If she's new to town, and then there's missing people all of a sudden, do ye not think she's a prime suspect for the locals too?!"
The dwarf pauses, takes a deep breath. "No, no... ye right. My forge was running a bit hot at idea of... something that foul landing itself among the wee people, just living their lives."
He wipes egg yolk from his beard, "I say we go and question the locals together; it's how we signed up, right? Plus, we can all keep an on you-know-who." He gestures to tiefling with dwarvish subtlety.
Manfred nods vigorously , impatient to get started. He drinks the remainder of his tea and stores the biscuits in one of his pockets. "Alright. I think we have a plan of action. We can work on the locals during the day, and in the evening, hopefully investigate Janice's abode and find whatever secrets are hidden there. Now, does anyone have rope? Let's take Albanus upstairs and one of you can take a poke at him, hopefully snap him out of whatever this is."
Manfred holds up his hands and shrugs. "I doubt one of my slaps would do much for you, old man. Besides, these hands are my livelihood. If I cut them on one of your horns or something, then it would seriously affect my music. I simply can't risk it."
Aura seemed to be quietly enjoying her breakfast up to this point, and she was certainly not complaining about the fact that she wasn't asked a lot of questions so far, but when it seems they're about to get moving, and Manfred makes a question to the group, she responds. "I have some rope. Hm, also, I'd just like to make it clear that he doesn't need to be hit super hard like the punch I gave him yesterday... It's just a little bit of pain to jolt his mind awake, that's all it needs to weaken the spell a little bit..."
"Lastly... I'm not good at talking, obviously... So, I'll go with you, but I hope to be more useful just looking or using the knowledge Ihave."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Manfred starts in surprise for a second and then laughs, finding the half-elf's sudden, unexpected slap to be utterly hilarious. "Well! That certainly is one way of doing things." Looking around to see if anyone noticed the slap, he will say loudly "Excellent work Ashtear! I do think we are adequately rehearsed. Shall we go about our day, friends?" He will place a hand on Albanus's shoulder and look him in the eyes and say in a low voice "Well? How do you feel?"
"Better confirmed it worked first, lad!" Vulgrom walks up to Albanus, "Apologies if this gets a bit awkward, lad." He places his hand on Albanus and ritually castsIdentify.

With the small slap from Ashtear, Albanus' head clears and he feels lighter and more...unencumbered. "Well, that was something, wasn't it?" Albanus says to his gathered companions. He looks at Manfred, Aura, and Ashtear and gives them a respectful nod of thanks. "I am feeling much better, thank you. And thank you," Albanus looks at Aura slyly, "for not punching me again. Well played, monk."
Thinking over their options and reflecting on the idea that one of them could lose control over some of their mind, Albanus will agree with going to check out the farm first as a bigger group.

((With that I'll go ahead and move you guys out to the farm))
After a few hours of walking along the dirt road, leading you past several other farms, with rows of cabbage or corn growing, you finally come tonthe old bridge that Tom had told you about and head north.
A few more minutes later and you can make out the homestead style house alongside a small stable with a white and black horse tied to the wooden post. No one seems to be tending the crops in the field, but perhaps there is someone inside. The outside of the house looks a little run down, and its obvious there hasnt been alot of upkeep with the place recently.
Mid-incantation Vulgrom hears these words and comes to an abrupt end, "Oh! Oh, right. No need for that then. Off we go!" He adjusts his belt and heads for the door.
Ashtear walks towards the main building and calls out, "Hello? Excuse me, is tehre anyone home?" while pondering if she should try fixing up the house a little bit while they're in the area.
Albanus will look around for anything abnormal - the horses, the general area, the path for footprints etc.... Perception with advantage because of Enchance Ability, 16
Vulgrom raises an eyebrow at the others looking around. He simply strides up to the front door and knocks firmly, "Hello! Is anybody home? Surely past the decent hour to wake!"

Survivor will quietly respond to Vulgrom, "She's probably responsible, yes, but we need proof, remember?"

(I'm fine with it, but should Albanus make a saving throw first?)
Ashtear will smile and slap Albanus, "Well as long as you're okay with it!" Attack: 18 Damage: 1 (if the damage messes up, its just straight 1.)

"If ye be done beating on da lad, shall we be going?" Dain asks as he glances to the others. Seeing they are ready to go now, he heads to the door.
