It was getting later. You'd learned a bit. But the shaman Coden's Uncle hired apparently went directly to the crypt sometime in between your jaunt back...
As you stand awkwardly in the manor house awaiting further discourse.
Eventually you are greeted by Malikon and his son once more, but from the front of the home this time.
"I think it unlikely you directly caused my youngest's death, Coden."
He pauses. wrinkled brow furrowed in thought.
"But, this maybe the work of a patrician (OOC: templar) and his lackeys. I know a few that hold weapons such as that was used to kill my son. It is your blood-right to take claim to their estate..." (meaning the offices and oven in the city proper)
His living son sneers and grips the hilt to his blade menacingly.
"But I am watching you."
It seems he's ready to dismiss you, but then adds, "If you were to find the killer or at least find out their identities? Bring to me or justice?"
"You would be as a son to me and my wife."
Whether there was veracity behind those words? Who knew.

"I think it unlikely you directly caused my youngest's death, Coden…" The half giant’s shoulders slump with relaxation. "If you were to find the killer or at least find out their identities? Bring to me or justice?" HurK smirks as only a half giant can and waits for Coden to answer his uncle. |

"My only interest is in ensuring peace and prosperity for our whole family once more, uncle," says Coden. "And I mean to discover the identity of the killer."
He pauses briefly, then says, "For the time being at least, we can be united in this goal. We must find the culprit and see that this matter is settled."
Glancing to his associates he says, "We should converse, dine, and rest. The day will be busy, especially if my uncle is correct about this being the work of patricians."
Turning back to Malikon, he says, "Are there sufficient accommodations for my entourage, or shall we seek an establishment in the city?"

[Bob, HurK focuses in on and carefully watches Petrus's facial reactions, hand placement and body language while Coden speaks AND during Malikon's retort...] |

Mak will wait for news that the bodies have been cremated then he'll look to Coden for the right timing to cast his divination over the ashes.
"If a Patrician is involved we should be careful. I've found them to be both shrewd and clever."

"I do not have the room for you and your entourage, nephew. But the offices in the city have apartments above - not large enough for the goliath though. Petrus will go with you and explain to the help our change of situation to the help. We'll be lighting the pyre in two days time."
Petrus grunts and motions to the door, undoubtedly perturbed by the minor task he's been given.

Coden nods with understanding. "Two days, then."
He gestures for Petrus to lead the way.

(Seconded)
HurK looks down to Codin's cousin and say's calmly
"Relax Petrus, we'll find this tarek, dwarf and hooded man. And then you'll be able to unleash your anger and blade upon them..."

"True, my friend, that is IF THERE'S ANY BLOODY CHUNKS LEFT OVER AFTER WE ARE DONE WITH THEM. Now, good Petrus, any ideas where our large associate here can bunk for 2 nights?"

"There are places near the ovens that he can pay for shelter." He nearly spits as he leads on. "Come." He turns heel. You notice him wave out the door, the two crodlu mounted guards hop-jaunt to his side as he leads down the hill towards the city proper. He clearly fears a similar fate that his cousins suffered.

HurK follows the trio in silence.

"The hooded man may be the Patrician. Perhaps if we put a hurt on the Tarek or Dwarf we can learn his identity and plan accordingly."

"The hooded man may be the Patrician. Perhaps if we put a hurt on the Tarek or Dwarf we can learn his identity and plan accordingly." "We could dress up in finery and wander around where they were killed and then when they strike *Victory holds his hands outward and palm upright before turning them downward* flip the table on them." |

The giant turns to Coden's cousin as they walk "Petrus, has your father run into any legal trouble in the last month? Or maybe a run in with a templar over something political related? ANYTHING you can think of that might've been related to a templar?" |
