A Wizard's Research

[*Selebius]

Tristan Yanek

Luthor Hess

Theodore Kendt

The unnamed one.

He writes those four names down, then puts Yanek aside. Too risky ro get involved with this one right now- but he will keep this name in mind.

Luthor Hess- he knows nothing about that one but he might be still existing somewhere outside the cage. If he were still in Sigil the records would have told him. So.... later.

Theodore Kendt. He was mazed which might mean that investigating this name is risky- but also it is a good lead. After all what happened there might have resulted in a good flaying or mazing. He decides to visit this address, soon.

The unnamed one- now this intrigues him. Might not have to do anything with the Ramal riddle but it smells of secrets and as someone with close ties to the Church of Vecna he never was somebody who could resist a secret's temptation well.

Of course he has no name... no identity. But he know someone- something- was there. And who or whatever this was touched other things.. other lives.
He decides to expand his search using the little names and evenents mentioned in the censored report to cross reference with other documents, trying to build the picture surrounding that missing person to get an idea what this all could have been about.
Of course he is careful and when researching this name and he chooses twenty other reports randomly just to fool someone trying to trace him.

After all this work with records and books he will visit the adress in the Hive- hoping to find a living relative of the Kendt family.

[*Midnight]

As he follows up the address Hasclaan finds himself outside a row of tall narrow houses in The Hive Ward. Although the lights on in most of the houses the one Hasclaab is after in particular appears to be empty.

[*Selebius]

The necromancer looks through the house but he does not expect to find much- after all an empty house is often quickly stripped of everything useful.

Nevertheless- he started this task so he will end it and so he looks through the rooms carefully.

[*Midnight]

As he peers through the windows he would notice oddly for an empty house in The Hive that the windows and doors are all in tact, and the insides are tidy and orderly, and someone has even cleared the razorvine back from the door way. Paying close attention to the house as he does Hasclaan does not realize he is being watched until he turns around and is confronted by a slightly hunched old man.

"They've gone, left about a year ago."

[*Selebius]

"A year ago.", he repeats then dusts himself off, approaching the man. "Do you perhaps know where they went, Sir?"

A year is quite some time and the incidents happened afterwards so whoever lived there might not be involved at all.

Without really waiting for the man's answer he leaves, slips five coppers into the man's hand with a mumbled "Thank you", the necromancer deep in thoughts.

[*Midnight]

"The girl who lived there got married and went off to some prime somewhere. They give me some jink to watch the place and sometimes they'll visit but not often."

He takes the money seemingly pleased

[*Selebius]

"Thank you, Sir."

Hasclaan says and allows himsewlf a small smile but then hurries home again.

Next he tries to find out about the unnamed one and if this proves a dead end he will try to find out what he can about Yanek.

After all he knows already that this one is involved.

[*Midnight]

The censored records provide few leads as to who the permits are for or when they were signer. They do however have the signature of The Guvner who signed them. Magnus Brandel. Who was once Factol of The Fraternity of Order. In fact he was the first Factol of The Fraternity of Order, clearly long deceased.

[*Selebius]

Another dead Factor.

He reads a bit about who this one was and tries to find out what this might have been about.

Then he sets up a letter:

My dearest Emila,

I have a request that might sound less odd after what we uncovered in the deeper crypts recently.

Please check the resting place of Magnus Brandel for his remains.

Thank you in advance and I hope you find time to join me for dinner tonight?

Hasclaan Guunt

[*Midnight]

Emila would join him later at Cookies since it caters to her unique diet.

"I looked into what you asked and Brandel is not in The Mortuary. After his death he was returned to The Fraternity to be buried in Mechanus. We normally do not surrender bodies but this was under the specific orders of the Factol, our one that is not Brandel."
