[20:28] <@BradGM> **Talking with a Foreman, and dispensing g a few shillings, Alexi, Siluvaine and Ulrich learned that an elven ship, the Escol'ah, left about 10 weeks ago. While the man had little else to offer, he did point out to an elven tavern, the Shaved Rock, which might have someone who knows something. On their way there, they were ambushed. Siluvaine got hit hard by a bolt, and Alexi managed to spot the shooter and wound him with his bow, and soon giving chase, leaving Ulrich to patch up the Wizard. [20:28] <@BradGM>. Meanwhile, despite questionable choice of words, Aithron and Edgerrin still managed to convince Hoffer to secure a place in the Temple’s dispensaries, in case it would be required when and if the Dagger is to be destroyed. Back in the Streets, the duo headed for the Docks, hoping to meet up with the others. They cross Alexi’s path, who was returning to confront the Foreman, after having just lost the trail of the shooter. [20:28] <@BradGM>. Seeing that the man was a dead end, the Party gathered at the empty house used by the shooter and followed the blood trail from the start. While tracking, Siluvaine noticed a cloaked and hooded female observing them in the distance, before disappearing form view, which only caused more alarm. [20:28] <@BradGM>. As the Party went on, the Blood trail exit the Docks to cross part of the Reik to a small forested island, up to one of the few shacks present.** [20:29] <@BradGM> **It is about noon-ish. The Citizens that comes your way quickly turn about and go via another route as they spot you with weapons drawn, and ready for something.** [20:29] <@BradGM> **And no, they don't seems to be paniced or going for any for of law.** [20:29] <@BradGM> ((for=form)) [20:30] <+Ulrich> (bah! more elvish!) [20:30] <@BradGM> ((yeah, that wasn't a typo at all..blargh!)) [20:30] * +Siluvaine remains behind the..shields..and keeps a watch out. "Which shack?" She says quietly. [20:31] <@BradGM> **The blood trail seems to lead to one a bit further off, to the right of the small isle.** [20:31] * +Aithorn points at the third shack [20:32] <+Ulrich> "by the way Sil, if you keep getting shot, stabbed, and hung so often, im going to have to start charging you for this medical treatment" [20:32] <@BradGM> ((that just what Sil needed to not get hurt I'd reckon.)) [20:32] <+Ulrich> "you need a bodyguard" [20:32] * +Siluvaine motions to Ulrich and Alexi. "You two were standing right there." [20:32] <@BradGM> ((oh, now that's just keep getting better)) [20:33] <+Alexi> "Hy admit hy did not see der shooter in time." [20:33] <+Aithorn> "Maybe when we get back, we can put out an advertisement, but for now, let's focus." [20:35] <+Aithorn> "Is anybody going to stay and watch for escaping people? Or are we all going in?" [20:35] <+Ulrich> (with Sil already full of stitch's, I will have my shield up and ready and my axe drawn. I dont ant a bolt to the chest either) [20:35] <@BradGM> ((k)) [20:35] <+Siluvaine> "Do we have enough to really watch?" [20:36] <+Ulrich> 'me and Sil can watch, she isn't in the best of shape for a house raid, and i can stick close by just in case she catch's another bolt" [20:39] * +Siluvaine shrugs. "Whatever we do, we should hurry." [20:40] <@Edgerrin> "Who be goin t a check the shack out?" [20:40] <+Siluvaine> "All of us I think. Ulrich and I will go around to the back."

[20:43] <+Siluvaine> ((k)) [20:44] <@BradGM> **Edge, you'd figure the shooter must be working his wound; you could have the jump on him if you can get close enough without raising attention.** [20:44] * +Siluvaine heads to the back.

We didn't play buddy-buddy and told our lives' stories before money switched hands." [22:34] <@BradGM> ((black top bun.))

It seems silly to think she would hire assassins at the tavern she's frequenting."
