"Oh, I don't know, ten feet tall? Maybe a dire chicken covered in spines and bone plates?" Dana speculates out loud.

Ebony merely keeps going amid the storm. "Tryll," she says, butting in. "So signs of Imix? Any signs of others or merely Imix?"

'Just Imix. I found several holy symbols hidden in a cubby, as well as one on the floor. The floor was covered in ash, and some looking into the past showed that they've been bringing sacrifices of gold and hearts to the hidden room. No idea who or what the hearts came from, though. I should be able to recognize anyone who was in the room in the last four or five days, so that's something.'

A brief nod and you soon reach the royal magistrate's hall. It's a large, long building in the middle of town, well built and with a few guards out there.

Dana takes off her helmet and approaches, "Hey, you two!" Dana hollers, marching up as they ready weapons, "Take out a silver coin and peer at the royal face on it, then take a good look at this motherfucking princess's face," she points at her face, "I'm here to see the magistrate, now."

One guard fumbles for a coin quickly, eyeing it, then Dana and then the coin again. He bows deeply, the other glancing over with widening eyes before doing the same. "Yes, your Highness!" One bows and hurries in, the other leading you within. It's warm in here - fireplaces spread the warmth, a large reception area full of desks and tables. Only a few guards are here. "It will take a few moments, Highness. Most everyone is sheltering due to the storm."

"Eh, it's not that bad of a storm." Calleigh remarks to the guard from Dana's shoulder.

Do you want to get into the nuts and bolts here or skim along, Yuth? It'll mostly be Dana bossing around the locals to do what she wants them to do.

One magistrate and a heap of guards later, five adults are under arrest and the house is being searched. Dana kicks back in the house's kitchen, drinking a mug of fale as Ebony stands back.

"Your Highness," A guard approaches, "We found something in their bedroom, under a false floor."

Presented is a dagger stained with dried blood, wrapped in cloth.

"Looks like they've been doing sacrifices. Hey Tryll, can you mind-whammy out what blood that is on it? If it's human blood, they're gonna hang for murder."

Are those prisoners still present?

'A moment, Dana' Tryll says, conducting his own search of the house's walls, floor, attic, and cellars. And the ground nearby. Because walls are a meaningless concept.

They're bound and aside if you wanna talk to them IC or learn more about them.

You search around. A hah! A hidden compartment in a chest in the attic. In there are several dozen rich platinum coins, just sitting there.

'Chest of platinum coins in the attic, Dana. Handle at your discretion. No other lurking surprises.' Tryll says privately. He re-enters the main room. 'As for you lot...'

1. Who they REALLY work for.
2. What their short term goals are.
3. What their long term goals are.
4. Where'd they get the hearts?
5. Is Imix working with Shar?

They work for a 'great prophet' named Eye.

To give more offerings to the revealed Prince of Fire and earn safety once the inferno comes to Langersun.

To be elevated as the new nobility once Langersun rebuilds under the guidance of Imix.

Waylaid travelers.

Not that they know of.

Follow up questions because I can do this all day

1. What is Eye's mortal name?
2. What does Eye look like?
3. Where can Eye be found?
4. Who are Eye's known associates?
5. Where was Eye last seen?
6. Are they privy to any of Eye's plans?

The Eye is not a mortal, but a fire elemental.

Like a medium sized fire elemental. Very burny. He has a pair of hot iron bracers that he wears, though.

The Eye can't be found. He finds you.

The Eye is an associate of Imix, of course. Otherwise he comes alone from the flames.

A week ago.

They are - there may be a great catastrophe soon, the entire kingdom but to the flame and reduced to ash.
