Sinsil will try hide the key, even though its magical signature is masked.

"Yes, we have horses, and this is not a companion of mine but someone who needed to see your assistant and I deemed it better to hear from your mouth the predicament and to loop them in on the mission."
Six looks around the room curiously before the man's voice draws his attention back. "Ah, a pleasure," he purrs, bowing slightly. "I am called Six. We helped Intara with a...reptile problem," he offers, glancing over at Ashanti.

Alkyn will hand over his bow and two swords with a flourish. (( Sleight of Hand for daggers: 20 ))
He will remain quiet as they walk, but take note of anything that might help in an unannounced return visit.
After Sinsil's introduction, Alkyn inclines his head to the wizard and clears his throat, "Yes, I come seeking the wizard Mikuel. I...." he glances back at Sinsil, "I take it that he is not here?"
(Ah my bad, Tristan can be with the Wizard Party too and go see the Crown's Guard after.)

Lysano sighs as he removes his gloves, placing them carefully in a brazier along with the shears he used to cut the leaves. You notice that he is certain to allow no part of either to touch his skin. With a wave of his hands, they are engulfed in a furious white fire. "Alas, my apprentice Mikuel has gone missing while searching for an ancient settlement in the mountains. He believed that many priceless artefacts might have been preserved due to the upheaval in that region during the Calamity. ((A climactic war between the gods, which resulted in the gods retreating from this plane behind the divine gate)). The last message I received from him, he was in a town called Talonstadt to the south of us, and preparing for his trek into the peaks. Thus, when our enterprising friend here came searching for employment, the timing seemed most fortuitous. But what is your business with Mikuel, if I may be so presumptuous as to ask?"

Umbero gives a small bow to each of you, crinkling his forehead slightly in confusion. "Reptile problem? Do you mean the creatures plaguing the outlying farms? If so, that's a bold deed. And of course, any friend of Intara is a friend of mine. But somehow, I don't think reptile creatures are the whole story. What can I do for you?"
"Intara said you would be interested to know that there was a..cult?" he pauses to glance at Ashanti for confirmation on the word, "of Tiamat." Here, he pulls out the ring he took embossed with Tiamat's symbol and holds it out. "One of them was wearing this. The other one turned into half a dragon? He got away from us, I'm afraid; I suspect he will be trouble down the line."
Mobile- Umbero takes the ring and closely examines the symbol engraved in the inside. “I see. The Scaled Tyrant has attracted followers for as long as societies have existed, but I believe this symbol denotes a very old sect known as the Talons of the Scarlet Queen. Supposedly in ages past, Tiamat appeared to their leader as a beautiful flame-haired woman. They’re highly secretive, we've been interested in finding out more about their goals for some time.” He hands you back the ring and begins to select a few scrolls from a rack on the wall. “I would like to know more about this transformation you speak of. You say he became a half-dragon? Unrolling the scroll, he shows you hand-painted illustrations of other people who sought to attain dragon gifts. Over the next half an hour or so, he patiently gets you to both recount everything that happened, backtracking often to answer questions and clarify points. Eventually, Umberto appears satisfied. “I am confident in theorising that your half-dragon is some kind of... abberation. I have never heard of a transformation being halted midway. Don’t think this makes him any less dangerous, however. The nature of his botched rebirth simply makes his powers more unpredictable.” He grimaces. “If you will leave directions, I will send some people to secure the subterranean temple you spoke of. It would not do to let anyone wander in.”
"I wish to ask him some questions about a missing person...and I was led to believe that he might have some relevant information."
He pauses a moment, glancing between Sinsil and the wizard, "I would be more than happy to try to help track him down, if that is what you were proposing?"
"My party seems to love strangers. And I can always use another body between me and harm. I officially invite you to join me on the mission." Sinsil turns on a heel and begins to leave. "If our business is concluded."
Lysano waves you off with an amused expression. “Certainly, find Mikuel and return him to me. Young Lady Fwoks has the particulars of my proposed payment. And don’t forget about the healing powders I gave you! I still need feedback about the efficacy of each formulation.”

Umbero takes careful notes of the location, and nods seriously. “This mysterious person, whoever he is, clearly has some kind of agenda. When we find out what it is, I don’t think any of us are going to like it. While I won’t ask you to investigate further, if you were to find out more, I’d appreciate it if you would send word. Our order has chapter-houses in most major cities, and if you leave a message it will find me. For right now, I’d recommend leaving town. The Talons are notoriously ruthless, and you’ve managed to make them your enemies. According to reports, they seldom do their own dirty work, so expect them to come at you sideways”.
"So...You are on a missing persons case, trying to get information on a missing person....I hope it aint just me that sees that irony....." The gold scaled dragonborn speaks for the first time. "I am Tristan by the way. I don't know if Sinsil has some alternative motive, but I believe we are getting paid." He turns to the small wizard "What next?"

Six nods, "yes, I believe we are on our way out." They had a lost wizard to find, once the others finished their business. "I will be sure to keep you updated if we run into him -or others like him- again," he adds, sighing. It was probably too much to hope that they would never run into them again; then again, Six didn't want someone else to have to clean up his mess, either.
"Perhaps you could tell me a little about what we face -- and where this fellow is -- and I might be able to suggest some uses? I am nimble of both mind and body, have a keen eye. In fact..."
(( If his 21 perception result on Sinsil gave him any insights, he might share them. eg. If he saw the key: "I know you carry about you an unusual item that you value you highly."; if he saw any secret or hidden things in the Wizards tower, then "I noted a secret door just past the entrance, and several cabinets with locks that would daunt a lesser man..." ))

" Halfish.....I mean it was hard to grade percentages at the time. Maybe like 2/5ths dragon....."
Ashanti worked with Six to give directions, her navigation on land was spotty at best.
Alkyn nods, "Of course."
"I wish to ask him some questions about a missing person...and I was led to believe that he might have some relevant information."
He pauses a moment, glancing between Sinsil and the wizard, "I would be more than happy to try to help track him down, if that is what you were proposing?"
"My party seems to love strangers. And I can always use another body between me and harm. I officially invite you to join me on the mission." Sinsil turns on a heel and begins to leave. "If our business is concluded."
Alkyn is momentarily flustered, "I...I...yes. Yes...I errr...I assume you have a plan and a location?" this addressed to Sinsil.
Once more he is glancing between Sinsil and the wizard, but slowly backing away from the wizard.
"Indeed. Come now." Sinsil continues out the door.

Alkyn raises an eyebrow, glances once more at the wizard, then turns to follow Sinsil. "I'm Alkyn, by the way" he says.
As they walk he asks, "And what is your interest in this Mikuel character?"
"So...You are on a missing persons case, trying to get information on a missing person....I hope it aint just me that sees that irony....." The gold scaled dragonborn speaks for the first time. "I am Tristan by the way. I don't know if Sinsil has some alternative motive, but I believe we are getting paid." He turns to the small wizard "What next?"

Alkyn laughs, "Welcome to my life! With my luck that Lysano fellow will either die or disappear next."
