You did just recall it grows around graves.

<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Iron Dragoon

Totally missed that in the post for some reason.

"Yes, it does."

"Sounds like we need an inquisition," Jarem says, voice bereft of its normal tone, serious instead. "Whomever it is, they're likely already gone or confident of defeating the divinations we'll naturally use to expose them."

Alyssa slowly turns to Jarem and speaks in a dead flat and serious tone, "This is an institution of learning. There will be no inquisition here unless specifically requested by the entirety of the Regents. Even then, they will be here as advisors, and the teams will be directly controlled by the Regents."

She holds his gaze a moment longer to impress her seriousness on him, but then continues, "Though we may need to do just that. Divination is unreliable and we don't have the power of a god to call on to back them up... Though, this root might be enough to get us on our way. It's rare and we can track it down, possibly."

"I mean an inquisition in the general sense, not a religious one," Jarem meets your gaze confidently, "Let me know if you do, I can prepare some divinations."

"Do you think the Red Knight will be able to protect your divinations? One of our high divinators was cursed by Shar when he tried to view a murder."

Alyssa makes a mental note to ask Emily about Shar curses.

"I am," Jarem says, "How bad was the curse? If it's truly out of control, I may return to Warrior's Rest to cast it." Giving you a look, "I have confidence I am far better than your diviner." After a beat he adds, "No offense, but I am, Queen."

"Bad. Almost killed him, and blinded him. We've kept him unconscious for now. I tried to break the curse with a Wish and couldn't break it. We can have a look at him after we're done with Ule, it could give you some insights."

A nod and...

Next move on investigating this? More with Ule or something else?

Was waiting for Emily since she's a Shar expert type. Wanted her to look into it, and also waiting on my assistants to show with the books about the root.

Okay.

Moments later, Emily hurries into the room, "Oh, was there a Sharran attack? That's what I heard," she says, breathlessly.

"Assassination attempt. Poisoning. Would you happen to know if Shar favors Othur root? I think that might be what was used on Ule from the descriptions of the symptoms."

"Oh, not particularly, but Sharrans use virtually any poison that's useful," Emily says. "If it kills or disables you, they'll use it to gain an edge, but they aren't known for using it in particular."

Alyssa grunts with distaste. "How annoyingly practical. What about curses? How much do you know about Shar's curses?"

"They're really bad news, she has a knack at horrible curses and so do her best followers," Emily says, "Shar's really strong so her curses are really strong, too."

Jarem grunts at that, "Yeah?"

"Oh yes," Emily nods along to that, "Really strong."
