(93) Evil DM: (whispering): Well your have just recently returned to the dragon Tier city. There was a council held at the Lion city for an expedition that was heading out and your mentor thought you should attend it.
(93) Evil DM: (whispering): You were not able to reach the city before they left and have just not gotten back home. Tension between Lion and Dragon are high now dragon clan feels like lion left them out of the loop on purpose.
(93) Evil DM: (whispering): You arrive at the gate and find the city almost in a lock down state.
(93) Evil DM: (whispering): Character description.
**(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): rides up to the gate a look of worry on his face as his spirit companion remarks about the locked down state of the city.**
(93) a town guard: (whispering): "Name and business please."
** (93) a town guard looks bored and tired **
(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): Ryuunosuke is a young man in his 20s with light blue silk Hakama and robes. A white belt is fashioned about his waist holding his various pouches and across his back is the Guisarme. He is a handsome youth of average height and build.
(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): "I am Kimura Ryuunosuke. I am returning to my family estate here in the city to see my mentor. Tell me guard why is the city locked down so?"
** (93) a town guard looks Ryuunosuke over and nods. "Murder at the library the high librarian was killed, I am not at liberty to say more." **
(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): "Oh no! That is most troubling news...the head librarian was a good man..."
(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): "I will pay my respects to his family..."
(93) a town guard: (whispering): "I hear they got the one who did it but the library was a mess and they are still cleaning it. You’re cleared to enter are safe." he motions you along.
**(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): secretly wonders to himself if the spirit of the librarian still lingers after such a murder and no culprit caught. He pieced that together from his observations.**
(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): "Ah...so the culprit was caught...so why the lock down still?"
(93) Evil DM: (whispering): You could go and check the library
**(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): nods and urges his horse forward into the city.**
(93) a town guard: (whispering): "I'm not at liberty to say move on please."
**(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): turns his horse toward the library. "Come Sun...We shall see what has happened in our absence at the library."**
(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): (Sun being his Spirit Companion Ape)
(93) a town guard: (whispering): You reach the library with little trouble there are guards still outside and you see a small girl talking with them she seems to be giving instructions.
**(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): rides up to the entrance and halts his creature with a pat on the neck he slowly swings off the fine mount and lands on the ground with a slight clink of his chain shirt under his robes.**
(93) a town guard: (whispering): "This area is closed off please go about your business."
(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): He walks up to the guards and addresses them. "Greetings. I am Kimura Ryuunosuke. I have heard there was a murder that happened here and I wish to ascertain the spirits here are not disturbed."
(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): "I knew the deceased and my Father was friends with the master librarian. I wish to pay my respects."
** (93) Ii Hikaru steps up before the guard can speak. "Well what troublesome one remained we have already removed." she looks over at Sun and bows to him. **
(93) Evil DM: (whispering): You can see a small frog spirit on her shoulder.
**(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): smiles and turns to Ii bowing to her. "Greetings fellow Spirit Caller."**
(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): He bows again to the frog in respect as well.
** (93) Ii Hikaru bows then looks up with a bright face. "Pleased to meet you." **
(93) Ii Hikaru: (whispering): "Hmm, I think what your looking for is gone from this world.."
(93) Ii Hikaru: (whispering): "The others would have needs of a caller in the task they have been appointed.. I'm sure you can follow the trail to them."
(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): He frowns. "That is sorrowful news...what others do you speak of?"
(93) Ii Hikaru: (whispering): "One spirit is confused, One is bound by duty, and one seeks to make amend for a past failure.."
(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): "Ah...I see. Who are you though?"
(93) Ii Hikaru: (whispering): "Like you just a guide." she smiles then returns to the library with a giggle.
(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): "Farewell just a guide...I hope we shall meet again on the cycle of life."
(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): "Well Sun...that was most interesting."
** (93) Sun nods and floats back to the horse waiting for you. **
(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes focusing his Spirit. He sniffs the air as if trying to catch a scent.
(93) Sun: (whispering): Perception check
(93) Evil DM: (whispering): Perception check
(93) Evil DM: (whispering): Or Survival
(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): He then turns and walks back to his horse. "Wait up Sun...no need to be impatient. I'm coming."
(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): [1d20+10] => [19,10] = (29) perception
(93) Evil DM: (whispering): You find one just one of the scents but all three.
(93) Evil DM: (whispering): They are rather faint you need to hurry before the streets fill with people.
(93) Evil DM: (whispering): There is also another scent.. a foul one you did not notice before.
(93) Evil DM: (whispering): Rancid like decaying flesh then it is gone.
(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): I mount my horse with a practiced motion and ride it using my spirit senses to guide me
(82) Ryuunosuke: (whispering): But on the watch for that foul scent
(93) Evil DM: (whispering): Takes you about 20 mins but you come to a very un-remarkable house.
(93) Evil DM: (whispering): It was very brief but so strong you couldn't help but notice
(93) Evil DM: (whispering): You can move to main chat now.
