START THIS ONE
Resolve complications:
- Zinyra complication while gathering soil: For some reason, you chose to go quite far off the normal trail through the woods to gather your soil. You found a spot that felt strangely right and started digging. As you dug, you uncovered strange ruins that prominently featured a carving of a panther-like creature with an unsettling smile and three tentacles coming from its back. For a moment, you were strangely transfixed by the image until you pulled yourself away. You finished gathering your soil somewhere else, but as you went through the forest, you kept thinking you saw the panther-like creature following you out of the corner of your eye.
- Latrans complication while teaching Poison to pickpocket: Poison has been practicing on his own and stole something very interesting from one of the Rockport residents. It looks like a diagram showing the way to a dragon's nest with the words "3 eggs" written on it. Poison thinks he took it from someone with red hair, either a gnome or halfling.
- Garron Chao and the nobles living in that area have gotten much louder complaining about the refugees, asserting that it had to be one of them who stole the Kidsaver and also pickpocketed several nobles. Garron is saying that since the government won't protect their property, they will have to do it themselves. This may be just talk; Garron hasn't given any specific plans. He has said that he will start work on Kidsaver 5006.
The Requests
More people have come to put in their job requests with Business Vulture Enterprises, LLC.
You see three strange men approaching the gate to your property along with Brilies and Nisalisse Lianne behind them. Brilies and Nisalisse clearly did not expect to see the other here at the same time and even from this distance, the atmosphere is tense and awkward.
As the three men pass through the gate, your glamour deactivation turns on, revealing that they're actually three demons. Two of them are the pit demons you saw before when you cast Hell and the third one is a smaller demon you've never seen before wearing a suit and tie. The demons immediately stop and look around in a bit of a panic when they realize their glamour is gone, but Brilies approaches them with her hands raised and starts talking to them. You can hear the calm tone in her voice, but not what she's saying or what the demons are responding with. But you can see that the demons slowly relax and start nodding along with what Brilies is saying. They then start walking towards your house again, continuing to chat with Brilies.
If you happen to be looking at Nisalisse during this exchange, the initial appearance of the demons almost made her turn and run away, but she saw that Brilies didn't run away and so she stuck around, albeit at a much bigger distance. You can also see her sort of nodding along to what Brilies is saying to the demons as if this as what she was thinking, too, but her body language is very tense and it's clear that she's very uncomfortable.
Eventually, they all enter the front door and you hear Kalakar welcoming them in the lobby.
