    Bastion

    Seeing Katrina dart past him towards the common room, Bastion takes a few steps out of the room, to hear what's happening downstairs. As Kyra and Katrina return upstairs, he awaits them motionless, lets them pass, and follows them back into the room.

    Wendelstein had made himself comfortable with a chair and a small box for his feet. His staff stood next to him on the wall as he was leaning back, his pipe in the one, the cup in the other hand.
    "Already back? What do our fellow commoners have to say?"

    "Great, that concurs with my plans." Wendelstein replied and emptied his cup.
    "See you on the other side."
    With that he rolls out his bedroll and lies down in a corner.

    A few hours pass. There's some initial wondering, "What happened to the princess? She was supposed to be here..." and then the discovery. The guards, dead, and the bloodstains. The city begins panicking-people worried about what's happening, and authorities worried about starting a war.

    You hear, whoever is on second watch, that a perimeter is being made-no one let in or out of this part of the city.

    Nilvalor

    After a little less than an hour downstairs to be sure he doesn't hear any talk revolving around the princess being in this tavern, Nilvalor walks back upstairs and offers to take a watch. He dispels the disguise and welcomes Ella back into their room through the window. Finding a corner of his own to curl up in, he lays out his bedroll and falls asleep quickly. Despite having to take a spot on the floor, Nilvalor seemingly takes it in stride without fussing over the lack of accommodations.

    Kyra redressed. It would seem that, despite the joke about sleeping in a shift was just that, a joke, she truly did sleep in the nude.

    She was sitting by the window when she heard the talk coming from outside. They had finally found the princess missing. But for now, it shouldn’t affect them. The people who were downstairs were her people. They knew she fought for them, and they would protect her. They wouldn’t say anything, unless it came to their lives or livelihood.

    So the Paladin continues to sit by the window, watching. Listening.

    Kyra awakens with the sunrise.

    Standing up from where she had stretched out with her armor, she unrolls her clothes which she had used for a pillow, her only apparent attempt at comfort. Donning the tunic and fastening it with a simple leather belt about her waist, she then goes about polishing the bronze armor. Once done, she begins to strap the armor to her body, the bronze fitting over her like a second skin. And, after the last night, you can also see that the muscles engraved and sculpted on the armor's various pieces are a reflection of the hard muscle you have seen to be underneath it.

    Once she is armored, Kyra dons her helmet, but leaves it pushed up and back on her head so that her face can still be seen. With her javelins tucked safely behind the shield, her sword strapped to her waist, and the spear in her other hand, she looks every bit the warrior she has proven herself to be.

    Well. They have closed off the city. The princesses disappearance has been discovered. I am going to go and offer my services to the town watch. Soldiers like to talk while they are on duty, and officers more so. It helps pass the time while nothing exciting is going on.

    Wendelstein lowered his hand and nodded: "Message sent." He was just for a moment distracted by the naked Paladin before he continued: "I'd be careful with that. We had a scheduled audience with the Princess. People know we were there - and then the princess has vanished with us and left only a bunch of dead guards. Better don't use your real name."

    And people know me. They know my honor and my heart. They know I would not kidnap a princess. Save one, yes. Kidnap one? No. I guess I won’t get thirty feet down the road before I am asked to aid in finding her.

    "Hah. Good luck then - and hope that the villains in this play haven't begun to slander your good name. I'll keep my head down if you don't mind - and keep an eye on the princess."

    Katrina hears one of her father's reply. He says "Should we send help? What kind? Stay safe-we love you."

    You know your dads. You know they're probably freaking the hell out right now, with that brief message, but at the same time, they aren't going to send an army without knowing the situation more. They don't want a war on their hands.


    Kyra, as she's about to leave, has the doors open in front of her. Two guards, one an older woman and the other a young man, are there. The woman says "Please, stay here for the moment. We're investigating the princess's disappearance."

    The man begins to move around the room, looking for any signs of princess (though you've been able to avoid leaving any obvious traces) while the woman asks the room at large "Have you seen any signs of her majesty? She has not appeared, and we need to know where she is."

    Kyra rests the butt of her spear on the floor as the two guards start looking about the room.

    I have not seen her. I spent the night here drinking and preparing for the games, but of a woman of royal stock? I think she would have stood out here, and I don't recall seeing anyone like that.

    After finishing his cake, Wendelstein sat down and layed out some of the materials, he had transformed earlier from the looted materials for the divination.
    Ten minutes of chanting culminated in a single question for Gond: "Would trusting the local watch men now be a mistake that endangers the princess?"

    Ritual casting Divination:
    "Your magic and an offering put you in contact with a god or a god's servants. You ask a single question concerning a specific goal, event, or activity to occur within 7 days.
    The DM offers a truthful reply. The reply might be a short phrase, a cryptic rhyme, or an omen.
    The spell doesn't take into account any possible circumstances that might change the outcome, such as the casting of additional spells or the loss or gain of a companion. If you cast the spell two or more times before finishing your next long rest, there is a cumulative 25 percent chance for each casting after the first that you get a random reading. The DM makes this roll in secret."

    Concentration: Invisibility

    Stepping over to the door, Nilvalor listens to the commotion downstairs before turning quickly to the princess. Clearing his throat, he explains, "Highness, you're much too precious to risk the loyalty of a pair of common guards. Please, allow me to keep you out of sight." With a flourish of his hand, Nilvalor finishes the spell before gently reaching for Katrina's hand and imbuing her with invisibility. "Stay close," he says dramatically. "I will keep you safe."

    Nilvalor casts Invisibility on Katrina and stands beside her, hoping to keep a space between her and the guards where they can't bump into her without running over him.

    The woman takes Kyra's words at face value. "Anyone else?"

    There's a smatterings of negative answers, and the woman nods. "Earnest, start checking upstairs. Knock before you enter, but we need to search the whole building. Sir," she adds, addressing the innkeep, "Is there a basement?"

    The young man heads upstairs to search the rooms, and after the first few, arrives at the room most of you are in. He knocks, saying "Authorities here. We're searching for the Princess Katrina."

    Having just finished his divination, Wendelstein got up: "Gond damn it. Can't I have a word with my God in peace? What does this look like? The royal assembly? Here!"

    Wendelstein walked over to the wardrobe and opened it's doors with visible annoyance.

    "No princess in here. And from what it looks from my position, neither is one under the bed. Happy now?"

    "That's quite enough, Willem," Nilavlor says, smiling apologetically at the young man. "My good man, please forgive my friend here. We were out enjoying the festivities last night and Willem here spotted a girl he fancied at the Striped Mongoose who ended up taking off with a young man much like yourself." Nilvalor shrugs knowingly, making it clear he believes that's why his friend is so upset at the sight of the guard and it has nothing to do with prayer, or anything else. "Obviously I didn't fare much better or I wouldn't have taken him up on saving a few coins and sharing a room. If I'd managed to snag myself a princess, well, I can think of a few places I'd rather go than a room with these two," he says, trying to share a joke with the guard.

    "Well... Yes," the woman answers. "If you're offering, we want to find her as soon as we can and make sure she's safe. While her family isn't liable to start a war, the disappearance and, gods forbid, possible death of their daughter might not be something they can ignore."

    Wendelstein nodded: "Thanks, I'll look into this then."

    When the two watchmen finally where out of the room, he closed the door and set down. In a low voice that he hoped would not be able to be overheard outside, he said: "Damn you Nilvalor, but you are annoying. But then, I guess, being unpleasant is the best way to get people to leave quickly. So, well done.
    My divinations weren't very conclusive, but at least I learned, that some of the watchmen are tainted. So whoever is behind this, they have access to the watch - and if its another case of drugging them instead of simple bribery, there must have been some form of contact.
    We should probably take a look at this Sergeant Attenborough next. I have a lesser divination for that.
    Give me 10 minutes."


    From hi pouch he pulled a small set of iron dice and began to roll them: "Would talking to Seargent Attenborough have good results for our mission to find the traitor."

    By casting gem-inlaid sticks, rolling dragon bones, laying out ornate cards, or employing some other divining tool, you receive an omen from an otherworldly entity about the results of a specific course of action that you plan to take within the next 30 minutes, The DM chooses from the following possible omens:

    Weal, for good results
    Woe, for bad results
    Weal and woe, for both good and bad results
    Nothing, for results that aren't especially good or bad

    The spell doesn't take into account any possible circumstances that might change the outcome, such

    If you cast the spell two or more times before completing your next long rest, there is a cumulative 25 percent chance for each casting after the first that you get a random reading. The DM makes this roll in secret.
