[QUOTE="TFL, post: 8936859, member: 7040259"] I'd love to see the conversion notes! That thread has inspired me in many ways and I definitely plan to use a lot of it. And my players shouldn't be lurking around here. I presume they know well enough to begone if they've somehow stumbled on this thread. [B]Session Two: [/B]+2 Authority With a few leads to possible clues to investigate, the group decides to split up. Duren and Dewey head to the Thinking Man's Tavern, figuring they can learn some information there, while Radros circles back to Journey's Home to do one last round of investigation. Unfortunately, he discovers little else. It seemed that LeBrix had put the hammer down on information, and each of the workers he tried to pull aside either stayed silent or redirected him back to Lebrix. Meanwhile, Duren and Dewey find the tavern almost empty. It was barely past noon, and there was little to do other than take some water to drink to pass the time, and try to mention Nilasa, in hopes that the bartender knows something. He recognizes her description, but has little more info. He tells them to come back later to talk to the musicians she often hung around. They piddle about for a bit until Radros joins up with them, Rhys in tow. It seemed that he had gotten over his sickness and was brought up to speed on the way. All together, they decided that the Alkahest factory would be the next stop. There, they were able to flash their badges and get a meeting with Heward Sechim, the owner of the factory. He told them that he had expected something like this, but the news still pained him. He revealed that Nilasa had had some interaction with the renowned terrorist Gale, though to what extent he didn't know. They asked for a look around her room, to which he obliged, but found little other than a few tokens of personal items. It struck Radros that it was the room of either someone who had nothing, or who planned to make a quick getaway. Heward asked if they would meet with his uncle Nevard, a skyseer out in the Grovewood. If Nilasa's death--the party had notably not called it a murder--was related to Gale, Nevard would know more. They said they would consider it, but made no promises. They returned back to the headquarters to collect their info, finalized their report before heading back to the Thinking Man's Tavern. There, they were barely two steps in the door before being accosted by Barb, one of the older waitresses, about their asking about Nilasa. Barb told them to make themselves scarce if they were trying to cause trouble, but backed down after the group flashed their badges. The news of Nilasa's death hurt Barb, but she was willing to help by directing them to two groups Nilasa had occupied her time with: The Musicians and The Professors.
