"We did! Haha, yes, we... Oh, bugger. We just killed - well, re-killed - an employee of the man we've been sent to retrieve something from.

Perhaps we acted a bit too hastily....."

Whilst contemplating what to do next, Grimwald decides to let the others say what loot they would like.

"We did! Haha, yes, we... Oh, bugger. We just killed - well, re-killed - an employee of the man we've been sent to retrieve something from.

Whilst contemplating what to do next, Grimwald decides to let the others say what loot they would like.

"He attacked us first remember" Darksten says with little remorse for the body in front of him "after all, sounds like him and our contact didn't get along too well anyways."

While eying the loot, the ranger mentions: "well there is an clear way to divide this evening, but I would be willing to swap my share of the venom for some more gold if someone is willing. But I don't mind getting a venom either as it has certainly helped in the past..."

"How about this?"

Deus: Mead, 1 Venom, 50 gold.

Darksten: 2 venoms, 50 gold.

Grimwald: 20 gold.

"That seems okay to me, although if you want my venom you're welcome to take it," Deus offered to Grimwald.

"Thanks lad, but I've no use for it anyhow - as a Sage, I'm restricted to casting spells, not attacking physically."

Grimwald frowns suddenly as he remembers the task at hand.

"Well, we'd better get on with it then."

And with that, he leads the party into the doctor's house (or to at least knock on the door).

Darksten takes his portion of the loot, but feels uneasy doing so because it is clearly not even for the Sage. The ranger makes a mental note to return the favor as he follows the party forward.

"Thanks lad, but I've no use for it anyhow - as a Sage, I'm restricted to casting spells, not attacking physically."

"Ah, good point," Deus replied, noting his mistake, and following the others to the house.

Grimwald Knocks on the door, and a voice is heard from Inside.

"Who is it?"

Grimwald Knocks on the door, and a voice is heard from Inside.

"Who is it?"

Darksten, unused to not being the party leader, instantly shouts out...

"Heroica, per contract, we have come on behalf of one Mr. Bismarck"

The party hear's some murmuring from within the house.

"The doctor says if you can tell us where he lives, you can come in"

"The doctor says if you can tell us where he lives, you can come in"

"Tell you where the Doctor lives, or Mr. Bismark? I assume you mean Mr Bismark... But just to be sure, could you clarify" The ranger asks through the door, still unknowingly ignoring his party lead "Perhaps you could tell us what relation you have to the Doctor"

Edited August 6, 201410 yr by Comrade Commander

"Yeah him." says the voice from behind the door. "Then you can come in."

Deus had a hunch as to who the man talking was, so he whispered to Darksten and Grimwald, "Do you think that's the doctor talking?"

Deus had a hunch as to who the man talking was, so he whispered to Darksten and Grimwald, "Do you think that's the doctor talking?"

"If it is the doctor, it is kinda strange for him to be talking about himself in the third person." Darksten mumbles to Deus, staying low enough to not be heard through the door. "Do we think it is safe to explain? We can just keep it vague, like 'by Driada Bay'..."

At the words "By Draida bay",A shuffling is heard at the door and it opens.

The heroes enter:

"Thanks to my... Um... Particular set of skills I have.. Er.. deduced that you really are the heroes that the doctor hired. I am... The butler! Yes, that's the one! Lose me on head won't I. As you can see we had a break in, Didn't we Matilda?"

"Yessir"

The women nods and continues sweeping objects into a corner.

"So you can.. Um... See why we've been a bit paranoid. Yes. Ramsacked, it was. I'd be happy if you didn't tell the Doctor we were ramsacked. I was here at the time... Er.. Hanging, You could say."

The butler shrugs.

"Go on through when you're ready."

Darksten walked into the room, and began to look around. Clearly there would be no secrets from a man with those big of ears. No wonder he heard the whispering... As the butler explains the story of the break in, Darksten begins to 'investigate' the items being swept into the corner, and the books on the bookshelf

"So the doctor wasn't here when the break in occurred? Was anything taken?"

"Go on through when you're ready."

"Wait, exactly when did the break-in occur?" Deus asked, as, judging by the butler's words, it had only been a short time ago.

"A break in, you say. Did you manage to get a look at the intruder?"

As the butler explains the story of the break in, Darksten begins to 'investigate' the items being swept into the corner, and the books on the bookshelf

The items are mainly ornaments, as well as some smashed up furniture. There was even a carrot there. The books are all untitled leather bound things, however dates have been scribbled on the side. The earliest date is 100 years ago.

"Yes, a break in.... Er.. Last night infact. That's why Tilly here is sweeping up. Aren't you? I didn't see his face, but he.. Or she.. was an Elf. I.. Um.. Saw that much. And he - it wore a cape. Yes."

Grimwald draws his party members nearer and whispers to them.

"I'm not buying a word of what this bloke's saying. He's clearly hiding something. We need to find out what, and why."

"Yeah, no, I don't trust him either" Darksten whispers to his fellow party members "should we send a runner to find the doctor? I am hesitant to split up though..."

Darksten speaks up to the butler

"You never answered my question, was anything taken?"

"Nothing infact.. Erhm, You should see the doctor now!"

He motions to a door that the heroes had until now not noticed due to it being "Offset" as it very much were.

"Why don't you show us to him," Deus said with narrowed eyes to the butler. He had a feeling a trap may have been staged...

"Yes, not a bad idea..." Grimwald remarks, not bothering to try and hide the fact that he couldn't stop staring at the butler's honking great ears.

The butler leads them through then walks away.

"Ah, my mercenaries. Right on time; I am Dr Slant."
