    "Maybe if we can find someone to look at the forgery for us we could. If it’s a forgery, it might have been done by Leland… or an expert." She opened up Wein House.
    "In fact, the men on the list could have hired an assassin. So the actual killer maybe being a woman doesn’t really rule them out."

    "That's true... Mmm..." Shahar frowned "Maybe investigating random people from the list isn't the best idea. But we got little else to go on at this hour of the night"

    A male student who smelled like a gardener headed out of a dormitory room.
    "That’s her door," Tanya said, pointing it out as it started to swing shut.

    Shahar rushed over and put her hand in the middle, blocking the door and opening it up to look inside.
    "Hello? Jessamine here?"

    A student was inside, reading a book on mathematics.
    "Uh... yeah? Can I help you?"
    There was a pouch of cannabis next to her. She wasn't smoking it at the time.

    "Yup" Shahar entered "I need to ask a couple questions about Leland, and I'd like it if you were to reply to them" she said "I'm not here to put you in trouble, but I do want to ask about Leland's... Other means of income"

    She glanced at the drugs but decided that wasn't the best time.

    Shahar raised an eyebrow. Well, she sure is fiery.

    "I'm happy you're going to go public instead of hiding your votes, you should always be honest- it can be an hard path, I know, but it's the only way to be happy with yourself. But I'm not here to blackmail you" she explained calmly "Like I said, I only want to ask some questions. So he was blackmailing you?" she wanted to first clarify it was him extorting money and not her bribing him.

    "I busted my ass and earned that grade. I failed, but I asked if I could study and retake it. He said he’d make an exception, and seemed to think that was permission to start perving on me, that creep Wylie. I got so ashamed and he… told me no one would believe I wasn’t into it."
    She shook her head.
    "Leland found out and threatened to expose me. I should have said to him what I said to you… what the hells, it’s not too late. I know where he lives." She stood up and went for the door.

    Shahar stopped Jessamine putting a gentle hand on her shoulder.

    "No... You won't find Leland there. Not... Alive" she stated "But I'm proud of what you just said, even if it probably doesn't matter from a stranger. No one should be treated like you did" Shahar tried to reassure her "In fact, I'm investigating Leland's murder, starting from trying to understand more about his activities. The Watch is at his house inspecting it and interrogating the neighbors"

    Jessamine's knees gave out and she fell over.
    "He's dead?" She asked as she recovered.
    "Murdered!?"

    Shahar slipped her arms under Jessamine's to steady her.
    "Yes" she nodded "In his house, probably by somebody he knew while having tea. We found quite some people who might have reason to get rid of him" Shahar explained as tactfully as possible.

    "Though, maybe it's naive but you don't look like you'd have done it. But I still need to know anything you'd know about his activities and who he worked with"

    "Alright" Shahar invited herself on Jessamine's bed, half worried she'd just fall sideways from the shock so she kept a hand on Jess' back "He was... Killed about a day ago, while classes were in session. Do you remember noticing anybody's absence? That wasn't normal for them? What about unknown people on campus?"

    Weed smell is distracting her senses of reading people.


    "I don't know everyone on campus," Jessamine said. "But there've been a few sick students. There are always a few. As for newcomers... most people who don't live here permanently stay at the Screeching Roc Inn. You could check the newer people there."

    "Alright- let's take the names you recall of the sick ones. Tanya, do you know how to get to the Roc?" she asked, then turned to Jessamine and held her hand "As for you, I haven't forgotten what you said about Wylie. I'll support you if you go to the Watch to report him- you aren't alone. But also should make that disappear before the Watch comes around" Shahar pointed at the drugs.

    "Unless it's legal in Neverwinter I suppose"

    "I do," Tanya said. "Will you keep investigating?"

    Back at Tanya's, Shahar had to be helped into bed from her exhaustion. Tanya held her close. "Thanks for you help... how did... how did this get so messy?"

    The next morning, Neil had made a plate of eggs for them. "Good morning," he said. He seemed to be moving about, trying to hold it together for the sake of his daughter.
    Tanya glanced at Shahar with a question of do we tell him?

    As if on cue, there was a knock on the door. A few members of the Starshine Watch came in when Neil opened it.
    "Neil Baker?"
    "Ah, yes."
    "You may want to sit down."

    Neil hesitantly did so.

    "He was what?"

    "Mister Baker, we're going to ask that you stay in town for awhile."

    "I... I'm a suspect?" Neil leaned forward, eyes wide in disbelief.

    "Can you tell us what you were doing yesterday evening, around the time of evening classes?"

    "I was here. I was..." Neil suddenly looked terrified. "Alone."

    The Watch officers nodded and went for the door. "Please stay in town."

    Shahar shrugged "You and others have been driven away. He penned you as not interested in paying him, and that meant you had to leave. Do you know who had a good bond with Leland? Expect Gaaki I guess?"
