    Aasgar says this last part looking up and then to the side to find out that he's been Batmanned by Abenor. Abenor appears a minute later on the top of the wall, and lowers Omast down to the ground. Omast doesn't even try to fight it. He's a drunken wreck.

    He’s deeply drunk and can barely manage a coherent thought. Because he is so intoxicated, Omast does not respond well to traditional logic or reasoning. Omast takes even the minutest turns of phrase at face value, too stupefied to decipher nuances or suggestions. When he’s not talking about getting another drink, he’s lamenting the loss of “poor, young Rodrik, that magnificent bastard,” with genuine sorrow.

    Aasgar (and to a lesser extent, Abenor) are both masters of dealing with fellow carousers, and steering the conversation in their favor. While drunk, Omast freely shares his feelings on many matters, though such information is only tangentially related to your investigation and is mostly useless in that regard. Omast has an intense dislike for half-orcs, whom he considers reminders of the greatest threat to Trunau. According to Omast, more and more half-orcs have been showing up in town recently, threatening the livelihoods and well-being of “worthy Trunauans.” He knows Rodrik shared a friendship with the half-orc Katrezra, and his jealousy is palpable (he describes the oracle as “a crippled oaf who lounges in the Sanctuary’s beds spouting curses and lies of prophetic dreams”), but Omast seems unaware of Rodrik’s relationship with the half-orc Brinya Kelver.

    Beyond lamenting Rodrik’s death and moaning about half-orcs, the only other information a drunk Omast imparts is about the graffiti of “white swords” that has appeared all over town, which he has dedicated himself to eradicating, so far without success. That the graffiti he’s been trying to erase for days has not yet come clean doesn’t seem to faze Omast, who mumbles something about “a sign from Rodrik” or some other supernatural phenomenon.

    What do you do with poor Omast now?

    I think, take him back to his quarters and see if he'll sleep it off...


    "I doubt we'll get much more out of him... In this state or sober but it may be worth coming back to see him." says Aasgar.

    "I say we pay a visit to Rodriks father next and then report back our findings. What are your thoughts on the graffiti now?" Aasgar says to Abenor.

    Abenor says, "I am worried about this man's inebriation. If we leave him to his devices, he may hurt himself. I will take care of him. I might miss the meetup with Cici later. But I will see to this man's health."

    "Okay. I'll head on to Rodriks father's and you can let me know your thoughts on the graffiti later, I guess. Watch your back." and Aasgar will turn and see if he can track down Rodriks father.

    Aasgar is NOT going to find Rodrik's father before he needs to meet Cici and Imrijka (and doubtfully Abenor). What does he do?

    Actually, he recalls that they were to meet at The Killin Ground at sunset. So he will head there now and just wait.

    The group as a whole .... with the exception of Abenor ... will meet at The Killin' Ground.

    As you have dinner, Cici shares with you that the three wolves were all young. Not pups, but smaller adolescents. Also, they all were diseased and partly malnourished. Such wolves would have been stopped at the palisade and put out of their misery, so somebody must have smuggled them into town. And somebody must have sicced them on the four of you, because it is way to convenient that the first people attacked were those most ready for violence. This was a warning of some sort. It took time to get the wolves to this state, so they might originally have been meant as a failsafe assassination secondary attempt if Rodrik had survived the first.

    As Cici complete's her report, and the realisation that they have been targeted sets in, Aasgar rises to his feet and says, "Abenor..." and rushes out the door axe in hand back to where he left the elf with Omast.

    They [Abenor and Omast] aren't there, but Cici and Imrijka, sensing alarum, followed close behind Aasgar.

    Not at all. I mean, there's the graffiti. But the rope scaffold is still down, and the rope was even coiled properly.

    Imrijka looks at him curiously, "Wait, Trunau has capital punishment?"

    Cici shakes her head. "No, not quartered as in drawn-and-quartered, but where he lives. And it is Omast, not Omart. And no, I don't know where he lives. And it is getting late now to be asking around."

    The three of you get to the Longhouse (see #trunau-gazeteer channel on Discord).

    You will find Abenor quite safe and whole, talking with a couple of the night guards casually.

    All agree, except Abenor. "Actually, I want to get up early and get here and cut Omast off from getting more to drink before I've had a chance to question him while sober, if that's alright?"

    Everyone peels off to their homes or the Ramblehouse, as appropriate.

    Cham Larringfass will be around with extra blankets and coals that night, as it is going from freezing to well below freezing tonight.

    27 Calistril 4715 AR (Waxing Gibbous)
    Weather: 10/0F. Winds N 20 mph. Dry. Wind Chill = -15/ -25F.


    Note the weather above. It is winter's last gasp on Golarion, and it is not to be ignored.

    This morning, Aasgar shapes his sash of the four seasons as appropriate to ward off the cold weather. As his meditations explore, it is not energy at his eyes, but at his brow that he feels a buzzing. He shapes the magic as it will, and when he concentrates on it too much it sort of clouds his mind. But when he thinks about it, the energy of the diadem now sitting on his brow could be used externally ... to cloud the mind of another.
    Spoiler: Diadem of Dazing
    Show
    Congratulations, you have unlocked Diadem of Dazing, a minor veil.

    Aasgar and Imrijka meet to eat at the Ramblehouse's board, and then are shortly followed by Cici. You are told that Abenor left early with some bread and cheese to go to the Longhouse. The girls look at Aasgar's brow, obviously noticing his new diadem.

    "It's cold today," says Imrijka as she eats without expression. "Are you sure you want to be wearing bare metal on your head like that?"

    Cici tries to hold it in, but giggles, but then Imrijka snickers, after which Cici chortles, and which makes Imrijka lose it, and then both girls are laughing.
