The Longest Night

[*Midnight]

//going to give liquid until this evening to respond then I am moving it along and he can catch up.

After hearing what the leaves are Pinom knows what the contents of the vial are, the examination he conducts just confirms it. Black lotus extract, expertly and carefully done in Pinom's professional opinion, the contents of the vial concentrated enough to kill several people quickly and easily.

The contents all examined the city court awaits them should they chose to go there as does the rest of the cage should they decide otherwise.

[*Selebius]

He heard of those nasty poisons but had no experience of his own in treating them- something that worries him.

Yet if the others agree he makes his way to the courts, asking for A9 Sotek.

[*LiquidDreamer]

Thist let's the others know about the professionalism taken to create this vial.

"Not that many in the city are able to craft something this well. Perhaps we should look around hm?"

[*Selebius]

"I fear not, Miss. But perhaps you can help us?", smiling he puts his hand on the desk and when he pulls it back again there are a few coins on the wood, discreetly hidden between two folders.

" You see... some laws might have been broken and we are looking for a missing person. It is really urgent, Miss."

//After seeing a diplomacy roll for this:

She looks down into the folder and then up at John and she rolls her eyes

"I can see a law being broken right now. So unless you have an appointment or some kind of documentation I'll have to ask you to leave."

She already begins to look around for a bailiff though they still have time to act.

John walks over to the counter and nods politely to Norman. He smiles warmly to the Guvner.

“Scuze me, Miss

I’ll have to apologize for my friend’s poor attempt at guessing what fees might be required to obtain the information we’re needing. Take it from me… I wouldn’t have a clue on what costs might be involved in such a thing. All I know is this is something we need done. You’re our only hope in finding this person before it’s too late. Would there be any way to change your mind so that we’re all happy?”

[*Midnight]

She jumps a little as John approaches her one gets the impression that she is not only used to dealing with priests and robed wizards but adept at it. He is not what she is expecting and this may well count in his favour. She stammers as she answers.

"Wha-what is this regarding? Administrator Sotek is overseeing the portal logs today and people are only admitted to there with written permission except on the most important of business."

One would get the impression she is still edgey but she dare not be the one to obstruct something important.

[*Selebius]

Norman decides to stay silent and out of sight now but he gives John the scrap of paper he carried- part of it might be the permission they need.
