The old man leans back in his chair and lets out a sigh. "Now, now, these wererats are harmless. They aren't supposed to be leaving the sewers... Ever." he glares at a side glance to Kear. "I have no idea what you are talking about with the sewer master. I assumed he was with you. Last I talked to him was yesterday morning right before he went to meet your adventuring party. He was supposed to return here but I assumed since he didn't his nature of helping people got the better of him and he was helping you in the sewers. I am worried what has happened now that you say that. But spare me your petty threats. I have no idea who you think you will report me to or on what. If anything, it would just be easier to pin everything on your team..." the man let's out another sigh "But I already agreed to cooperate with you and currently you are the only lead I have on finding Raphael but threatening me in my own home is wearing on my patience."
Graxxy observes the old man's response. He seems slightly annoyed at the recent requests but does not seem intimidated. If anything he seems worried.
“I am lead to believe you. Please note that my God does not allow me to lie. What I say are no threats but matter of fact of what would occur if a transgression against this land is found.” says Graxx plainly and lowering his voice.
Graxxy turns away from the man and looks toward the door.
“If what you say is true then you sewermaster is either on the run or has been taken by who is responsible for manipulating the wererats. Yes, they were manipulated but we will cover that later on. There is no time we must go.” says Graxxy
gorlok pulls out the head of the hooked horror revealing it to the old man
”Aye, this creature was a waitin fer us as weh departed the sewer. probably got yer employee, he did.”
Gorlok takes the head and thrusts it in the mans arms
”dark creatures lurkin where they shouldnt. ya cant tell meh no ones noticed! wut da ya know about tha blessed! Im done playin games lad! aye suggest ya be forthcoming”
After seeing the head, the old man flinches backward saying "What in the world is that?" He then let's Gorlok finish before replying "The what? It sounds like you guys have a lead."
Turning over to Graxxy he says "I will come with you.. Show me where you Last saw Raphael."
The man stands up and grabs a cost from behind his desk. He then grabs a walking cane on the wall and says "Well of we go.."
The group departs Odaigo and heads back to the sewers. By the time they arrive, it is late afternoon. Arriving at the sewer entrance, the guy asks directly "Where did you last see Raphael?"
The group begins to look around as well as the old man. Gotrek and the old man seem to find something upstream. Following it upstream a bit, they seem to see the trail go across the river over a shallow area. The old man and Gotrek increase their haste and crosses the river going from rock to rock to not get their feet wet. Upon reaching the other side they go into the woods. After a short distance into the woods, they stumble across Raphael, heavily bloodied, bleeding and bound by rope. Leaning down, The old man turns around and says "Is anyone a healer? Someone help him!"
Raphael is healed by Percy and comes back to consciousness. He lets out a scream and looks around. Seeing the old man he says "Oh thank the Gods. I thought I was a goner." He wriggles around and realizes he is tied and says "I see the bindings she had are still intact. Could you aid me in removing these?"
The old man start to help with removing the rope..
Gorlok looks around and it is obvious that he was dragged here, at least from the river into the woods. It seems like from his wounds, he put up a fight but was beaten pretty badly. It almost look as if he was tortured as well.
”You can remove the bindings old man but if he starts to run he will be brought down quickly. Understand Raphael.” says Graxxy.
Graxxy gets down and looks in Raphael’s eyes.
”Do not mistake our kindness of healing for weakness. I want to know who did this to you so they may be punished for using torture but I mainly want to know why in the name of Tempus you locked us in the sewer and left us for dead.” says Graxxy
After removing the bindings, Raphael readjusts himself and sits up comfortably. He lets out a sigh and says with sigh "I don't know."
He then continues by saying "After I unlocked the door for you guys, I thought I saw the most bizarre creature swimming up stream in the river. I could of swore it was a naked elf! But I'm sure that sounds crazy, but I went to investigate. Upon a short walk, I noticed a figure laying next to the river in a blue robe. I approached and rolled the figure over seeing a young female with dark hair. She seemed weak and begin muttering so I got closer to her to listen to what she was saying. The next thing I know, I was tied up here. At first I tried to run away but she grabbed a large stick and began beating me. She then questioned me about the fair tomorrow. Asking all sorts of questions about where it will be at and all the sewer entrances. She used some sort of spell on me and I had to tell her everything. She seemed disappointed when I didn't know about the guard locations and that's when she let out a shriek saying that she had to know. After a heavy hit to the head I was knocked unconscious. Upon waking up again, she began asking me about who I let in the sewers and when I told her that I didn't know much about you, she summoned a horrific creature and said that it didn't matter anyway."
Raphael shutters for a second and says "After that she continued to beat me until the night. I woke up briefly this morning but have not seen her since the previous night."
" That certainly fits the description we have of the blessed, but you seem to have seen her better. Please describe her to me as best you can once again." Percy takes out a pad and begins writing down the description. " It would also be good to know everything you can remember telling her. The guards for the fair will probably need to know." Percy turns back to the rest of the group. It is possible she has more plans for Squim or the other wererats of the city sewers based on her questions about the sewers. If we have any way to send word or get in contact with them we might be able to dissuade them from whatever she is about to have them do at the festival."
Raphael describes the girl as best he can but outside of a thinner female with dark hair, he is unable to give anything that is too descriptive. He can't recall seeing any scars. With regards to what he told the Blessed, she mostly wanted to know about sewer entrances in the city and the lay out of the pipes.
Kear volunteers to head back into the sewers if you desire.

He also tries to glance and see if there is anything new on the desk.

Percy discreetly directs Gotrek to stand blocking the door.
The old man leans back in his chair and lets out a sigh. "Now, now, these wererats are harmless. They aren't supposed to be leaving the sewers... Ever." he glares at a side glance to Kear.

With a nod Graxxy will lead the old man to the sewers.

The group departs Odaigo and heads back to the sewers. By the time they arrive, it is late afternoon. Arriving at the sewer entrance, the guy asks directly "Where did you last see Raphael?"
"Raphael let us into the sewers here, but he didn't seem too eager to come in with us, so we entered alone."
Percy turns to Gotrek. "Gotrek, see if you can find any signs of raphael."
Percy will also start looking.

"By Apollo's light." Ulala says, whispering in Quori to mend more of Raphael's injuries.

"She...?"
Ulala shakes her head. "So it wasn't that elf...?"
Graxxy looks at Raphael as he gets his net out.
”You can remove the bindings old man but if he starts to run he will be brought down quickly. Understand Raphael.” says Graxxy.
Graxxy gets down and looks in Raphael’s eyes.
”Do not mistake our kindness of healing for weakness. I want to know who did this to you so they may be punished for using torture but I mainly want to know why in the name of Tempus you locked us in the sewer and left us for dead.” says Graxxy

Raphael shutters for a second and says "After that she continued to beat me until the night. I woke up briefly this morning but have not seen her since the previous night."
Upon hearing Raphael's description of mind control, Ulala briefly exposes a sharp micro-expression in her eyes.
" That certainly fits the description we have of the blessed, but you seem to have seen her better. Please describe her to me as best you can once again." Percy takes out a pad and begins writing down the description. " It would also be good to know everything you can remember telling her. The guards for the fair will probably need to know."
