Creepy kids and political intrigue

by Marya Silverstring

Ok so I temporarily have a new scimitar, neat!
The Ring of Spell Storing gets a Banishment & a Shield Spell
Also Balak might actually have connections that turn out to be useful for locating the person ordering the hitjob
He also wants to contact his people alone, which suits me just fine
 
So yeah, nice relaxed day ahead for us~
When we go out of the shop, Melech spots a misty kind of girl eyeing us from an alley
We definitely want to have some words with her
Melech then meets us in the alleyway with the girl
He also mentions, that she was afraid of the monster
 
This kid is definitely hiding something, something is weird about her
Melech gets a nice little smack to make sure he isn't charmed by the girl
Then the questioning of the girl starts
Girl looks like a street kid
Probably has to be part of a kids gang
Balak tries to separate Melech and the kid but Melech intervenes
Also he didn't promise the kid anything, definitely a huge sign of bullshit going on
There's a couple of rough probing questions
Melech gets asked whether we're telling the truth รด.o
And he agrees that we do
The kid then asks Seb what she's gonna get for helping
The deal seems normal enough, but I still don't trust her for shit
5 gold pieces change hands
 
Balak and me keep an eye on the kid
We get to the next inner wall where there's a little tunnel in there
Seems to be a secret entrance into the trispire
Yep trispire it is
We get led to a small mansion
Then the kid starts walking away
She's closelipped about why she watched the mansion
The Pahla family and their servants are in there
 
Seb follows the kid for a second
Exchanges a couple of words
And yeah even Melech realizes now that he's been charmed
We go through a couple of possibilities before going back to the tavern
There we go through different approaches with our current info
 
We decide on going back to the shop and informing our employer
Trispire makes sense to them, at least there's ressources and space for summons like the invisible stalker
Then we consider looking for information on the backstory time of them, around 250 years ago in the library
 
In the archive we start looking through books
It seems the Pahlas used to be the Makos before, about a 150 years ago
Seems to be because of some sort of disagreement in their family back then
They seem to stick to being human
Seems to have an elven name around the 250 year mark
As well as an estimated death date
Half elven child that died around 100 years (Idelia)
That was the original name Aenan Eyvalan (of the elven parent) - they seemed to have passed relatively recently (about 5 years ago)
Bysaes Tyl was the name of nation
 
With the collected knowledge it goes back to the shop
Yep the name 'Mako' definitely means something to them
And they remember loads of stuff
In short, they used to be part of the family
Idelia Mako = fiancee of Tourmaline
 
We consider making a trap by waiting and then investigating the house via locate creature
We also consider locating the girl with the same spell
