Thorin spell closes the more severe wounds where normal medicine wasn't working.
As Alyseris goes through the fallen cultist belongings he finds a few golden pieces but little else. The wore chain mails and longswords. He stays away from the blood soaked shield.

After taking a few breath each coming easier than the last the man smiles, relief plain on his face.
"My name is Klim Jhasso. I am a rich man, with a great potential and many friends in the city." he says a bit desperately. " Please. Take me out of here and my family will reward you. I don't know what happened and why I am here detained and tortured."
Banlashan stores the keys away in his pocket out of habit, a good habit, but a habit nonetheless. "Well Klim, we'd be happy to help a citizen of the Gate as potentially great as you. We have healed your wounds for the most part, are you able to walk?"
Would Mist know who this is? She’d probably know about really rich families and people in the city.
Mist glances at the man’s face in interest at the mention of riches. Not a bad friend to have if he was legitimate. She also tries to retrieve the arrows that completely missed her target. She really needed to practice more.
Something triggers in Mist's mind. She knows about that family of petty nobles and that though they were once powerful and rich they are now a squabbling family of spoiled children.
Though it is clear that he has been kidnapped and tortured part of his story about him rewards are probably lies.
Badran feels something wrong in the story the man is telling but can't really grasp what it is.
The man falls on all four when you release him from his shackles and is visibly still very weak.
( OOC: Sorry for the wait. It will get better after the week end. )
Remembering about his family, Mist tries to tell the group that he probably won’t reward them without him noticing, before getting back to the more pressing issue.
“In any case, we should probably keep searching. There’s probably more cultists around here somewhere right?”
(OOC - Would we be able to walk him up the the street, and flag down a member of the watch? Alyseris wouldn’t know how likely there was for there to be anyone around, since he’s new to the city?)
Klim shudders and tries to appeal to your sense of justice once more. " I am grateful to you all for saving me and healing me but i would much prefer that you escort me to the watch or better yet to my siblings so that I can go safely home. I m sure there will be rewards for you and I am not sure that the evils living here are not still after me. They probably have reason for wanting to hurt someone from a powerful house like mine."
Thorin will say: "I will go with what the party wants to do but, I think we have made our presence known. If we leave and come back it will give the cults time to re-enforce, prepare, and set traps for when we come back."
Alyseris nods to Thorin. 'I say two of us to take him up, and hand him over to the watch, and two of us to wait here and guard the way. How does that sound?'
He then mentally communicates to each of his companions, 'While I have no reason to distrust him, we have no knowledge of why he was here. I doubt it was random... We might want to make sure the watch takes him into protective custody..?'
Alyseris will stay - he doesn't know the city yet, so isn't likely to add much in terms of finding a watchperson. He'll take the time to search the corpses - not for loot, but for things like distinctive tattoos etc.

Alyseris wonders if the man is lying - his brush with the Yellow Mold has left him out of sorts and more suspicious than usual.

"Do city dwellers usually not know how they end up in cold, wet house-caves, being poked by a spear?"
9 Badran tries to figure out what the real story is (Intelligence, since he's untrained in Insight).
Just a husband, father, DM, strength coach, writer, mustard producer, youth minister, and US Army Airborne veteran trying to stay sane.
Badran The Returner
Would Mist know who this is? She’d probably know about really rich families and people in the city.

“In any case, we should probably keep searching. There’s probably more cultists around here somewhere right?”
Alyseris nods to Mist, ‘It feels like there should be more to the complex.’ He then heads over to the suit of armour to investigate it further.
Investigation: 18
The suit off metal is just that albeit with weird paints and drops of blood and sigils of death.
There are two exits. One to the east and one to the south. Both lead deeper into sewer water.
OOC/ Are you planning to do anything with the noble ?
(Map coming )
(OOC - Would we be able to walk him up the the street, and flag down a member of the watch? Alyseris wouldn’t know how likely there was for there to be anyone around, since he’s new to the city?)
OOC: the noble has been freed and healed. Can he not find himself out if we give him directions?

Blast! He was right, "Would be best we did" Banlashan chimed in, "Mist do you want to lead the way back?"
Thorin will say: "I will go with what the party wants to do but, I think we have made our presence known. If we leave and come back it will give the cults time to re-enforce, prepare, and set traps for when we come back."

There are five of you.
Tell me who does what. It will take about 10 minutes if you hurry to take him out of the building. The watch might not be there though.
Mist looks around at the group and sighs in frustration.
”Yeah, I can help take him. (Turning to face him) You can follow me outside to the watch.”
Waiting for anyone else who is coming, she leads the way back through the tunnels to the surface.
Alyseris will stay - he doesn't know the city yet, so isn't likely to add much in terms of finding a watchperson. He'll take the time to search the corpses - not for loot, but for things like distinctive tattoos etc.
