Drakor waved. “Have you seen our companions?”

(Some of the names are unfamiliar, but you do recognize some of them, either because they’re especially prominent or because you’ve had reason to deal with them in the past — Tiberi the farrier’s assistant, Bogdan the glassblower, and Dosia the sorcerer who can only cast cantrips. From what you know about them, Wanderer’s desperation theory might hold some fruit; Tiberi had recently lost a large amount of money investing in a “merchant venture” that promised him the chance to get rich quick but turned out to be a scam, and Bogdan had lost several family members in a bout of plague. Dosia, who’s always been angry that she wasn’t given the respect she felt she deserved for her magic, is perhaps a special case.)

He starts to shake his head, then pauses. “Wait. I might have. Some people got marched past in handcuffs a little while back, but I… didn’t see them very well. But they looked kind of like your companions.”

(This is so transparent of a lie that I’m not going to make you Sense Motive it. The problem isn’t his vision, it’s that he wasn’t paying very close attention.)

“But the holding cells are in here, so they must have gone to the Abadarans or the courthouse instead.”

Drakor nodded. “Thank you.”

He turned to Arius. “Let’s try the courthouse.”

(he began walking)

(Are we still cuffed?)

The courthouse is also guarded, but judging by the uniforms, the guards are privately employed rather than being members of the Watch. The pair outside the door are carrying longspears, with light crossbows on their back for a ranged backup option. Both of them stare stonily ahead rather than greeting you in any way.

Drakor approached. “Pardon me, but have you seen a Pularan priest pass by here?”

…Technically yes, but with Rafau having confessed and Zelsh having verified your side of the story, they quickly free you.

“You are free to go,” says the dwarf. He holds up a finger. “But one moment, first.”

He leans over to the Abadaran and says something quietly. She heads back into the bank vaults.

“There was a bounty for information that would allow us to apprehend the cult,” says the dwarf. “Twenty-five crowns. It’ll be smaller, split so many ways, but it should more than cover the trouble you went to.”

From how he’s talking about it, he clearly considers this an impressive bounty for this sort of information. The Abadaran quickly returns, and pays it out to the group (some of it is in links instead for easy division).

(How much do we each get?)

“What’s a Puluran?” says one of the guards. “Is that one of the Tien gods?”

The other guard shakes his head. “I don’t think so. I think they’re… Sarkoran?”

“Wow! Must be a really old priest,” says the first guard. “I’ve seen plenty of priests, but all of normal gods.”

“Unless you count the guy in handcuffs,” says the second one.

“Was he a priest ?” says the first one. “I thought he just liked the necklace design.”

(split how you decide, so for example you could choose to share it with Drakor and Arius)

Drakor frowned. “He didn’t look old- did you say handcuffs?”

Wanderer attempts to leave after taking his share.

“Zelsh thinks the five of us should gdt 5 crowns each.” Zelsh told Paprika and Wanderer. “Can’t forgrt Arius and Drakor after all.”

“Yeah!” says the first one. “A whole group of them. They even had a kid cuffed.”

“I don’t think she was a kid,” says the other guard. “She looked, like, seventeen or eighteen.”

“No way. Fourteen tops.”
