Avara: 	Last we left off, we resumed and resolved the vampire pokemon battle. Finding the foes to the death and winning, we then found a body and brought it south to Snowmeadow. Whereupon we were promptly aimed at with sniper rifles. Yaaaaaay. We were allowed through after a security check, and... I can't remember if we had a full rest and stuff.
DNA: 	which used to be daily, before the Castle kinda faded into the background.
DNA: 	Yeah, we got a full rest.
DNA: 	I recall Rochette wanting to talk with the local vamp, and the team in general wants to see if the jobs get resolved.

Avara: 	damn~.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Time: February 15th, 1549. 09:35 Sunday.
	Chloe: 	Chloe was halfway done with her morning routine before she realized she missed Valentine's day. Well... it's not like she had anyone to give a valentine to anyway. Still, it might be nice to by chocolates for the group...
	Alsine: 	"Are you ready Chloe?"
	Chloe: 	"O-oh! Right! Coming!"
	Chloe: 	Chloe left her room to meet the others.
	Natasha: 	"Wakey wakey~" Natasha knocked on Saturn's forehead to signal to her that it was time to get up. Today was a whole new day! Well, not all new. They were awake only 6 hours ago or so. But now it was daytime outside!
	Chronicler: 	The day begins at the local inn called The Agreeing Comet. It is ran by the Kolberg's and its tenants are very few despite it being a four story castle looking building. The place is complete with stone walls and floor, thick intricate carpetry and hand-carved seating.
	Chloe: 	"Such a romantic place... is something wrong Alsine?" Chloe asked her companion.
	Alsine: 	"... just memories." Alsine replied half heartedly.
	Valerie Ylsef : 	"A little overboard for an inn."
	Rochette: 	Rochette got out of bed, checking her various things and attending her morning routine before going out to meet the others. She looked around the inn as she walked to meet them, curious about why such a place was so empty. It would probably be rude to ask the owners, though.
* Saturn Rosewell moved down to rejoin the others after she'd showered and freshened up. She'd been on the road almost non-stop since Cerulean, and it really helped. Then again, it might have even been past 10 by the time she really got outside.
	Ülang: 	"Is that so?"
	Valerie Ylsef : 	"Well it's a blooming castle!"
	Chloe: 	"I know that shout... Good morning Valerie!"
	Valerie Ylsef : 	"Oh morning..."
	Barak Kolberg: 	Barak Kolberg stepped into the building from the front door and closed it securely. He blinked witnessing your group down in the main area and chuckled, "I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. You're adventurer's after all. Sleeping in just doesn't suit your kind."
	Valerie Ylsef : 	"work to do an all."
	Chloe: 	"Ahaha.... normally I'm up early, but we got here late last night."
	Barak Kolberg: 	Barak Kolberg gave a flourish bow as he smiled, "I didn't have the pleasure of meeting you all in the evening. I am Barak Kolberg - owner of the Agreeing Comet. I'll have my wife prepaer your baths."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Morning, everyone..." Saturn was a bit quiet, but she was definitely fully awake at this point as she rejoined the group in the lobby. To the owner: "This place is really well kept; thank you."
	Barak Kolberg: 	Barak Kolberg chuckled as he realized your party makeup and smiled, "We have a singularly large bath out in the courtyard - but I will assume you all want separate smaller baths until notified otherwise. We don't have central heating here in Snowmeadow, so it'll be heated with firewood."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Yeah, I bathe by myself. ...No offense."
	Chloe: 	Chloe beamed, "That sounds nice. I'd like the private bath too."
	Barak Kolberg: 	"In the meantime, I took the liberty of preparing your breakfast. I am quite adapt at vegan meals - just in case any of you are opposed to meat or Pokémon products. If you could meet up in the dining area and take a seat, I'll bring the food out to you."
	Valerie Ylsef : 	"Two baths in the matter of days...ain't that just odd."
	Alsine: 	"I don't mind public bathing."
	Rochette: 	"Whichever bathing set-up is chosen will work." Rochette shrugs. "I appreciate the hospitality, mister Kolberg."
	Barak Kolberg: 	Barak Kolberg bursts out into a rumbling laughter for a few moments, "Ohhhhh dear me. The other settlements can't possibly be that bad. This is an inn. Bathing and meals are to be expected."
	Barak Kolberg: 	"I'll be setting up the dining area in the meantime. The private bathing is in the basement." Barak Kolberg makes a gesture to the staircase which has a door in its center, "Visit either at your leisure." Barak Kolberg bows again before stepping off toward the kitchen.
	Rochette: 	Rochette heads downstairs for a private bath, contemplating what the day ahead might bring.
* Valerie Ylsef heads to the public baths, prefering more space.
Chloe: 	Chloe heads for a private bath, Alsine herself seeking out the public option if it was available.
* Saturn Rosewell is going to head for a private bath as well, or at least wait until one is available.
* Ülang follows Valerie
	Chronicler: 	Both bathing options are available.
	Chronicler: 	There are 8 private bathing rooms in the first floor basement. Despite it being underground there are windows just high enough to view from the outside ground level - allowing in sunlight and the view of the town.
	Alsine: 	"Good to see I have company. I was hoping to see who else might be around."
	Chronicler: 	There's natural cleaning products available at each bath as well as cloth for washing and drying. There's no showers but instead large oval ceramic tubs sitting over a fire for heating.
	Valerie Ylsef : 	"I never mind nudity, but my skin condition does tend to put some people off."
	Chronicler: 	The public bathing area is vast out in the courtyard. There's open sky though the area itself is closed off by large stone walls. There's large beautiful plantlife surrounding the large pond-like bath and while it isn't known how its heated, the area is steamy enough to notify any that the waters are hot. There's natural cleaning products and cloth.
Chronicler: (( Just let me know when folks are done bathing. ))
DNA: 	da, da, da-da-DA! (we hope to see you again)
Eclipse: 	No, DNA.
Rochette: (( not gonna write anything special for it. done whenever people have their chat done. ))
	Chloe: 	Chloe took extra long, allowing her bug pokemon a chance to bathe with her and making sure they were all nice and clean as well~
	Alsine: 	Alsine enjoyed the cold air and warm water of the courtyard bath, quietly taking in the atmosphere.
	Ülang: 	"Ah so your stony complextion is not of the norm."
	Valerie Ylsef : 	"That would be correct."
	Alsine: 	"I hadn't noticed, mayhaps it is more subtle than you think."
	Valerie Ylsef : 	"It's more of a texture than a color, so it can go unnoticed fairly easily, but people do tend to freak out about abnormal things."
* Valerie Ylsef and company bathe not bothering to spend time to enjoy the baths.
* DNA will not be writing anything.
DNA: 	...yet.
Chloe: 	Eventually Chloe finishes up and peeks into the public bath to notify Alsine, who then gets out.
Chloe: 	Together they walk to the where the food could be found~
	Saturn Rosewell: 	Saturn's finished, though by the time she gets back to the lobby, she looks like she just saw a ghost.
* Valerie Ylsef heads to the dining room to see how breakfast will be
	Chloe: 	"Are you okay Saturn?"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"I don't...know..."
	Chronicler: 	The dining area is a large carpeted room with intricate tapestry, paintings and vases.
	Rochette: 	Rochette gets out a little while after Chloe, dried off and fully dressed, though she hasn't tied her hair up in its usual ponytail yet.
	Chronicler: 	The table was a long and slender hand-carved waxed table. If one had to measure it, it would be at least 7 meters in length and 3 meters in width. It looked to be made from fine wood and any would hazard a guess it weighed immensely.
	Chronicler: 	The chairs themselves around the table appeared to be marble with thick and finely woven cushions against its seating.
	Chronicler: 	On the table were blank dishes in front of each empty chair and in the center of the table from one end to the other, a collection of foods and drinks.
DNA: 	Damn you, now I'm hungry.
	Chloe: 	"My goodness, I wonder how much this place costs, I could live here..."
Trulhammaren: 	*eats all the cheescake*
Trulhammaren: 	oh wait, already did that
DNA: 	You're free to i-lol
	Chronicler: 	Many different kinds of freshly baked breads were laid about - from wheat to raisin, several cooked meats which appear to be venison or beef and several vegetables ranging from carrots to celery. The drinks were large pots of ale, milk, tea and water.
	Chronicler: 	Jellies, butter, gravy, peanut butters, etc. were in small containers littered across the table.
	Valerie Ylsef : 	"Damn, now that is a spread...."
	Chloe: 	Chloe has herself set up with milk a plate full of every item she could fit on it.
	Micaela Kolberg: 	Micaela Kolberg enters the room and blinks before greeting you all with a smile. She was carries steamed cloths and gave the best curtsey she could while carrying something.
	Micaela Kolberg: 	"Thank you, kind ladies, for allowing me time to set up the dinery. I apologize for not having it fully set up before your entry." Micaela Kolberg says this as she waits for everyone to take their seats before handing out the steamed cloths.
	Alsine: 	Alsine helped herself to some ale and an equal variety. "I will never forget how wonderful it was to eat food for the first time since..."
	Chloe: 	"Oh no no, thank *you*. It looks amazing!"
	Rochette: 	"A feast fit for such a castle," Rochette mumbled as she took a seat. She gave a polite smile to Micaela. "Thank you for your work. No apologies necessary."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"It's so...so wonderful..." Saturn mumbled, a smile faintly returning to her. "And you'd do all this...for guests you'd never met before?"
	Ülang: 	"I must say, this all looks a bit odd."
	Valerie Ylsef : 	"Feel free to try some out, its pretty typical of what you might find in the world."
	Natasha: 	Natasha was squealing excitedly, noticing the large array of eats set out. She pointed at the table. "Kijk, Saturn! Eten! Werkelijke eten!"
You whisper to Chloe: "Look, Saturn! Food! Actual food!"
	Micaela Kolberg: 	Micaela Kolberg takes a seat at the table and nods, "Barak prefers to eat alone so he won't be joining us. He apologizes for his behavior - but he prefers to tend to the garden before the noon sun." Micaela Kolberg giggles, "Well, we're an inn. Of course we do this for anyone staying. Is the outside world really that bad? I mean, I've heard stories f places without hot water, medicine or even walls. Is that true?"
	Ülang: 	((damnit now I gotta go look up diet...))
	Ülang: 	"The meat looks oddly discolored."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"It's not that, it's just...I'm surprised you're just so accommodating to people you've never met..."
Rochette: 	"It is. Settlements such as this are not as common as one might hope, though we have not yet travelled the whole of Kanto. This is... I believe the third settlement out of five to have a wall."
	Valerie Ylsef : 	"Oh...uh, yah, thats normal for us humans. Something about it being easier for us to digest."
	Valerie Ylsef : 	"So I hear."
	Chloe: 	"Some of the villages, yes. But their entire population could live in this inn without worry, one time we even had to stay with one of the residents there because they didn't even had an inn. Only Cerulean was close to this big. The pokemon center has a tight schedule on when meals are and when you need to be out of your room, but they have a lot of the same services. I haven't stayed at an inn there before."
	Ülang: 	"Very well."
	Rochette: 	"Even those settlements where there was no established place for travellers are better than camping, though. The cavern in particular..." she scowls a bit.
* Ülang fills her plate with a small amount of pretty much everything to sample.
	Chloe: 	Chloe laughed in agreement, "Yes. We do sleep outside on the road or in caves a lot. A place like this is heaven."
	Micaela Kolberg: 	"That's...quite hellish it sounds like. A town without walls, a village without an inn r an inn with strict scheduling." Micaela Kolberg frowns briefly before beginning to eat her fod.
Rochette: (( brb ))
* Natasha was being held back by Saturn, who was building the plates for the both of them. The Victini was going wild-eyed with hunger and it was taking Saturn's restraint to get her to hold back and actually WAIT to eat.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Stoppen met acteren als een kind ..."
* Valerie Ylsef fills her plate with primarily protein and fills her glass with ale to wash it all down with.
	Natasha: 	"Ik doe NIET!"
You whisper to Chloe: "Stop acting like a child..." "I do NOT!"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	Saturn got herself a little bit of everything, keeping her meal as balanced as possible. Natasha's plate was mostly veggies and berries, though there were a few sturdier bits.
	Alsine: 	"This place seems somewhat familiar. What history does it have?"
	Alsine: 	Alsine looked around. "The architecture does at least."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Hey, Rochette." Saturn spoke suddenly. "Are you holding up okay? You've been kinda quiet."
	Micaela Kolberg: 	"Just an old family pooling together resources to build a home in the middle of nowhere. We were welcoming t wanderer's and offered a place to call home to any willing to work. It became what you see today."
Micaela Kolberg: (( She BRB'd I think ))
DNA: 	(Ah, that's right. *waits, twiddles thumbs*)
	Alsine: 	"Middle of nowhere? So this inn was an early chapter of this town's history."
	Micaela Kolberg: 	"The first building actually. We decided to keep it as it was in the beginning days. A place for wanderer's to rest."
Avara: 	back
	Alsine: 	"That is an impressive history indeed. So would you say your family has a lot of influence in this city?"
DNA: 	Hi Ava! I asked Rochette a question while you were away (I forgot to wait til you got back).
	Micaela Kolberg: 	Micaela Kolberg chuckles before shaking her head, "Oh not quite. That's not the sort of place Snowmeadow is. We're residents here like anyone else."
	Rochette: 	"Better than I have been," she said while focusing on putting together her breakfast plate.
	Chloe: 	"We came looking for jobs. There were two postings for an adventuring team of our rank. One involving graveyard disapperances, one involving an ancient harp and songs coming from the woods. Have you heard about either?" Chloe asked.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"I guess this is a good place to relax... It makes up for the last few days of just rushing around like crazy."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Maybe when we have time we could just sit back and talk about stuff."
	Micaela Kolberg: 	Micaela Kolberg turns and Chloe and nods, "The songs aren't something I'm knowledgeable on but the disappearances at the graveyard are disturbing. We've all but abandoned it without anyone knowing exactly what's going n. It's nice that you would come here to investigate it but please, do be careful. We don't know what's happening there or what to expect."
	Chloe: 	"We ran into some vampyre pokemon outside of town, do you think they might be related...?"
	Micaela Kolberg: 	"We thought about that but Anastasia said she couldn't say for sure without knowing what happened to the bodies and we, of course, don't have them. So we can't rule out that possibility."
	Rochette: 	"They didn't mention the body we found as being related to the case, so I doubt it was them."
	Alsine: 	"I take it Anastasia is the local vampyre? I was hoping I might have the good fortune to meet her. However I am concerned she suffers enough from outsider curiosity and might not care to meet with me."
	Rochette: 	"I would like to meet her as well. I presume she would be more comfortable meeting visitors at night, however."
	Micaela Kolberg: 	"I can't speak for Anastasia. But you won't find much information on what's happening at the graveyard. People disappeared and we aren't sure why or how."
	Rochette: 	"The reasons we'd like to meet with her are likely unrelated. It's more of a matter of personal curiosity, for myself."
	Alsine: 	"Similar, I have a history involving vampyres and I would rather not meet any of them more ignorant than I have to be."
	Micaela Kolberg: 	"Again, I cannot speak for Anastasia." Micaela Kolberg shrugged, unsure what else to say on the matter.
	Rochette: 	"Indeed. I just wished to clarify."
	Alsine: 	"Where could we contact her, if possible?"
	Micaela Kolberg: 	"Her home, I suppose. It's near the markets. Anastasia is a pretty agreeable girl - but I wouldn't push her into anything she doesn't like."
	Chloe: 	"Rochette and Alsine might seem serious, but they're very nice themselves." Chloe assured, gathering seconds.
* Saturn Rosewell had grown quiet, waiting for the conversation to move elsewhere. She didn't really have much to say other than wait.
	Rochette: 	"Are there any rules or manners we should be mindful of here that might not be the norm elsewhere?"
	Micaela Kolberg: 	"I think it could be best described as don't start trouble and there won't be trouble."
	Rochette: 	"Simple enough."
	Chloe: 	"I'd really like to retire here once I'm done with adventuring." Chloe smiled. "It's a beautiful place, so far."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"...but all we've really seen is the inn..."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Wouldn't it be worthwhile to see the rest of the village?"
	Rochette: 	"Indeed."
* Valerie Ylsef finishing up her plate and ale, "So where would we be able to gather more info on the two jobs that we mentioned earlier?"
	Micaela Kolberg: 	"The soldiers or hunters would be best to speak about anything outside of town. You can ask around town about the graveyard but - what I said is all we really know."
	Chloe: 	"Blindly walking into the graveyard and wait for things to take notice of us would be the only way to look into that further. It's dangerous... but we've used that strategy before."
	Alsine: 	"Blindly walking into a dangerous situation to be attacked...?"
	Chloe: 	"Mmhm! It's how we met you!"
	Alsine: 	"... I see."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	For Saturn, 'blindly walking into a dangerous situation' made her mind first jump to the Forest of Fate instead. Her face flashed pale, very briefly.
* Rochette finishes her breakfast, opting out of drinking anything alcoholic. "I will go to investigate the graveyard. If anyone wants to accompany me, they can. I'm not certain if we should split up for gathering information on these jobs."
	Chloe: 	"It might sound faster to cover more ground, but I think we'd get done quicker with both if we cooporated."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"...I think I'll just follow Rochette's lead regardless, right now. I'm anxious, though mostly to finish what we started..."
	Valerie Ylsef : 	"Whatever, you know what I do and I can't do it unless I'm nearby."
* Rochette nods, and looks to their hostess. "Do we need to pay for anything before we leave?"
	Micaela Kolberg: 	"Whenever you're ready to head into town just let me know. I'll take care o fthings here." She shakes her head at Rochette, "No. Your first stay was given a pass by the soldiers."
	Chloe: 	"We'll probably be back tonight, if we have the money to stay." Chloe smiled.
	Rochette: 	"Thank you, then, Miss Kolberg. How much does a night here cost?"
	Micaela Kolberg: 	"$350."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"350 for ALL THAT?" Saturn was surprised out of her wits.
	Chloe: 	((is that the same currency?))
Micaela Kolberg: (( Yes ))
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Something like that back home would have cost at least 1200..."
	Rochette: 	"I believe we -will- be coming back, then."
	Chloe: 	"Shall we get going then?"
	Valerie Ylsef : 	"Sounds like a plan to me."
	Rochette: 	"We'll be heading out now, yes."
	Micaela Kolberg: 	Micaela Kolberg nods to the group and stands, beginning to gather the empty plates, "Of course. If you head to the graveyard please, be careful."
	Chloe: 	"Thank you for your hospitality, it was most welcome." Chloe stood and curtsied.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Th-thank you..." Saturn manages to say, on her way out.
	Chronicler: 	Assuming you all exit The Agreeing Comet I'll begin descriptions of the town proper.
DNA: 	yessir
	Chloe: 	yepperoni!
Trulhammaren: 	ditto
DNA: 	crawdaunt
DNA: 	oh you weren't saying a random Pokemon name, nvm
Rochette: (( agreement ))
	Chronicler: 	When you step out of the Agreeing Comet you can see the town bustling with life. Everyone is dressed in clothes from a past era.
Chronicler whispers: http://www.fashiontrendy.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/victorian-dress.jpg
Chronicler whispers: http://www.gentlemansemporium.com/store/media/vict_mens_46_full.jpg
Eclipse: 	Fancy.
Avara: 	... that dress.
Avara: 	i want to play a character with that sort of fashion.
Trulhammaren: 	tottally not victorian, but whatevas
DNA: 	Trul, please tell me you know that steampunk isn't real
Trulhammaren: 	steampunk....that's where you throw punk kids into steam engines right?
DNA: 	I wish
	Chloe: 	"Now I want to go shopping for dresses..."
	Chronicler: 	The Agreeing Comet appears to be directly beside the town gates and the graveyard is stationed atop a rather large hill on the other side of town. In your immediate area, which you could call the markets, are several shops ranging from foodstores to weaponstores. All of the buildings are at least two stories tall and between the graveyard and the markets are the regular homes. There the houses have significant space between the homes - as if it was all built with the intention of adding additional homes down the line.
	Rochette: 	"Ambitious... but practical, too. Quite an interesting town."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"I'm beginning to think...this place might be really nice, despite its threatening exterior..."
	Rochette: 	"The threatening exterior being used to protect the pleasant interior."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Seems that way... Maybe I had this place all wrong."
	Chronicler: 	Just let me know where you're going, what you're doing, etc., tc., etc.
	Valerie Ylsef : 	"Still too many people for my tastes."
	Chloe: 	Chloe asks around for directions to the graveyard, gradually moving the party that way.
* Avara will cooperatively follow Chloe's lead cemetary-ward.
	Natasha: 	away we goooooooo~
	Chronicler: 	Normally, I'd ask for a charm or command for that but uhh, the townsfolk will just merely point to the east to the clearly visible graveyard on the hill.
DNA: 	Is there a house on the hill?
Trulhammaren: 	I sure hope so!
	Chronicler: 	No. Just the graveyard. And the mausoleum I suppose.
Trulhammaren: 	gotta get out my rope of elevator theft!
DNA: 	...I feel so betrayed.
	Chloe: 	((I looked at the skill PDF for gather info but didn't see a category for it))
DNA: 	trul, why is it that I always die during the haunt
Avara: 	:3
Trulhammaren: 	you didn't steal the elevator?
Avara: 	just all these references. and i'm remembering how i won both itmes
Avara: 	*times
DNA: 	I didn't get that scenario
	Chronicler: 	So, are you guys just going to the graveyard?
	Chloe: 	right now, yes
Trulhammaren: 	yarp
DNA: 	Yes, we are being sent to the Graveyard.
Avara: 	it's excellent searching weather
DNA: 	It was +4 Perc and +2 Intu, right?
	Chloe: 	mmhm
DNA: 	sweet.
	Chronicler: 	You can easily walk through the markets and housing to the graveyard. There you find a pale and blond woman standing at the bottom of the hill staring at the graveyard.
Ivy winds its way up the iron bars of the cemetary gate. No rust discolors the black metal and flowers blossom near the wall. Beyond that wall, you see a gravel walkway that weaves its way up through groomed grass and white tombstones. A few statues rise up along the hillside, their gray features gleaming in the sun.
"That's not good," the woman says. "The gate is open."
	Chloe: 	"What do you mean?"
	Chloe: 	Chloe examined the gate, trying to tell if it had been forced opened or unlocked. And if forced, from which direction. Perception
	Chloe: 	Test 24
	Pale Woman: 	Pale Woman turns to Chloe and blinks, not recognizing you. She discards those thoughts for a moment and turns back to the cemetary, "Since the strange disappearances the gates were closed and locked."
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: I'm going to Intuition the woman's feelings/emotions, 5d6+1+2 .
	Rochette: 	"How long have the disappearances been going on?"
	Alsine: 	"And who are you?"
Pale Woman whispers: She's confused and concerned.
	Chloe: 	"Well, someone unlocked them." Chloe took a step back and folded her arms, "There would have been signs if it had been forced open."
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Can I tell if she's hiding anything or not being totally honest?
	Pale Woman: 	Pale Woman places her hands on her hips and stares at your group, "It's rude to ask a woman her name before first introducing oneself."
	Rochette: 	"Rochette Higsby of the Winter Lotus."
Pale Woman whispers: You'll need to specify what you're looking for in terms of 'hiding' anything. That may just not fall under this skill. But she doesn't appear to be dishonest thus far.
	Chloe: 	"Chloe Blanchett of Winter Lotus."
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Hmm... like does she perhaps know why the gate was open? Is she secretly pleased about it? Is there some ulterior motive about it?
	Alsine: 	"Forgive me, I am Alsine. Assistant to Chloe."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"...I'm just Saturn...nobody special."
* Valerie Ylsef doesn't answer
Pale Woman whispers: You can't tell if she knows something about it other than what she said but she doesn't seem pleased about it."
	Anastasia Nordvik: 	"I'm Anastasia Nordvik and judging but 'Winter Lotus' I take it you're an adventuring group. Do you happen to know about the disappearances?"
	Chloe: 	"We're hoping we might find out. We just got here last night."
	Rochette: 	"We know of them, and are here to investigate. Any information you have would be appreciated."
* Saturn Rosewell gulped quietly.
Trulhammaren: 	diggin for binkies under the couch, brb
DNA: 	Is that what you call her now?
Trulhammaren: 	back
	Anastasia Nordvik: 	"Yurling family. Desiree, Morgan and Tyra. Went missing four days ago. Officers Norgren Aas and Hilberg Herre went looking for them three days ago and also went missing. We haven't found any trace of their bodies or anything and the military locked the cemetary and ordered no one else into it. A job posting was put up to get a group with more experience of the unknown to investigate, that being you I suppose."
	Chloe: 	"I'm sorry for your loss. We're still new, but investigation has been our specialty."
	Anastasia Nordvik: 	Anastasia Nordvik steps to the side and gives you a low curtsey, "Do not allow me to stop you then."
	Chloe: 	"Is there anything else you know, even if it was something you've already ruled out? Knowing what it *isn't* also helps."
	Anastasia Nordvik: 	"I don't know what it is or isn't. Or even if it is a thing or things. I'm not allowed to investigate and there's been no evidence to go over. I'm sorry I can't give you more information."
	Chloe: 	"Is anywhere off limits at all? I don't want to disturb anything I shouldn't while investigating."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"You're...not allowed to investigate? Any reason why?"
	Anastasia Nordvik: 	"You get a pass I'm sure." Anastasia Nordvik turns to Saturn, "Because I'm a resident and the residents were ordered to keep out. I like it here so I'm not about to endanger my stay. But I also don't like this like this happening so I wish you all the best of luck."
* Rochette walks into the cemetary, immediately searching for every sign of movement, particularly those that might stand out from general pandemonium of searching by others.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Ah, okay, that makes sense."
* Saturn Rosewell takes a step inside...sensing the area.
* Valerie Ylsef keeps close to Ro, to intercept any shenanigans
	Saturn Rosewell: 	Life radar! Intuition 5d6+3 .
	Chloe: 	Chloe waits for the others to feel safe, before quickly scanning the area with a Search Check.
	Chronicler: 	The graveyard appears old but lovingly cared for. Fresh gravel covers the path and flowers, not weeds, grow beside the tombstones.
Chronicler whispers: You don't sense anything yet - but it's restricted to your distance of sight. I'll assume this remains active.
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: You assume correctly, yes.
	Natasha: 	Natasha is going to do the same, though her senses are a bit stronger, 5d6+8 .
* Rochette approaches the Mausoleum.
	Chloe: 	"Something ran into the mausoleum fro here." Chloe pointed at the marks in the gravel. "Two figures, both wearing boots. The smaller of the two."
	Chloe: 	(("one was wearing yellow'))
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"...Boots...huh?"
	Valerie Ylsef : 	"To the mausoleum then."
	Chloe: 	Chloe headed that way, checking the exterior of the mausoleum.
* Saturn Rosewell and Natasha are still sensing for any forms of life nearby... They feel like they're going to feel at least something, even from just the outside...
	Chronicler: 	A narrow path winds its way up the hill toward a large structure flanked by ancient, life-sized statues of a Gallade and a creature you assume to be a Gardevoir. Two humanoids lie sprawled on the maesoleum's steps. Dark liquid seeps out from under the bodies, and beyond them, the doors to the maesoleum are open.
Chronicler whispers: You suddenly perceive the movement at the feet of the statues. Several pairs of feral eyes gleam out at you from behind the graven images. Quadraped creatures, six in total and two of them darker.
* Rochette approaches the bodies, examining the dark liquid but not touching it. ((any education skill necessary to identify? also, still depending on unnatural sense to tip off if it's hazardous))
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: Like directly behind, or in the mausoleum behind?
Chronicler whispers: Outside of the mausoleum.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Eep!" Saturn was shocked at the bodies, but lowered her voice. "There's six quadrupeds...right behind those statues...and two of them...are really dark..."
	Chronicler: 	Any education you think would work. You tell me what skills you use.
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"I think it's a trap...an ambush..."
Avara: 	let's see... medicine.
Avara: 	"... Could someone else inspect this liquid?"
	Rochette: 	"Could someone else inspect this liquid?"
* Saturn Rosewell takes a gander at it, with Medicine Education, still being very wary of the creatures behind the statues. 2d6+2 .
	Chloe: 	Chloe looked applying her occult knowledge
* Natasha is going to look at well, though since her knowledge is just General, it won't be as specific, 5d6+0 .
* Ülang wanders over and looks at how it would be in nature.
Wild Pokémon 1 whispers: Medically, Saturn finds that it's blood. Natasha can attest to this.
You whisper to Kaorin Sakura: It's blood...yet it's black? Any idea why it's black?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Ulang is Trul's?
DNA: 	Yeah
	Ülang: 	"It seems to be blood...old, but simply just blood."
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Yeah, but...why is it black?"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"Just because it's old?"
	Ülang: 	"Age I imagine."
	Chloe: 	"Should we investigate the creatures..?"
	Saturn Rosewell: 	"You mean the...the ones right behind the statues...?"
* Rochette steps over the bodies and into the mausoleum. (Darkvision. Making no noise, going stealthy using darkhidden ring.)
	Valerie Ylsef : 	"Well it is the reason we are here."
Kaorin Sakura: 	If you could place your tokens on Battlefield around -B, -145
Kaorin Sakura: 	Just a moment Rochette.
Rochette: (( do you want me to place my token, or no? ))

* Rochette was moving into the mausoleum, going stealthy and silent. and invisible.
	Chronicler: 	Rochette opens the doors of the mausoleum - they weren't even locked - revealing a large stone room containing a stone table and several vaults built into the walls. Across the room you see a closed stone door. Blood is spattered and smeared on the table, walls and floor.
