The Hunt for the King murder & Is Andrian in Line?

Neth 29, 4708 – We did not do much this day. I stay back to pray to Torag. For some reason Andrian wanted to have his portrait done. He went to Field Marshall Cressida Kroft and asked her if she knew any artists. The only one that the Field Marshall knew of was the artist Trinia Sabor who was painting the King portrait. Andrian went out to look for her. He found Trinia Sabor apartment which had been ransacked. Andrian continued to look for leads but still could not locate her. He returned back to the barrack with no luck in finding her.

Kuthona 1, 4708 – Andrian went back out to locate Trinia Sabor. He came back later that day still no closer finding her where about.

Kuthona 2, 4708 – Andrian left to locate Trinia Sabor again. A few hours after he left Field Marshall Cressida Kroft asked for us to report to her office. We went out to look for Andrian and were able to find him quickly. As we headed back to Field Marshall office Andrian told us that he believes he knows were Trinia Sabor’s is hiding out.

When we got to see Field Marshall Cressida Kroft she told us that evidence has been brought forward that the King was murdered just as we had predicted. Field Marshall was asking us to bring in Trinia Sabor because she is the prime suspect in the murder. She has two people who have information pointing at Trinia for the murder of the King. We asked the Field Marshall what was the information and she told us. One was just a few weeks ago were it was over heard that she said she would kill the King if he touch her again. The second was that they saw and heard her say leaving the King that she did not mean to kill him as she ran away. Andrian told her he has not found her yet but has a few good leads to her where about. Andrian takes us back to almost the place we found him to begin with. Just as we get to the door we heard a sound of something breaking and as we entered we see a boy going out a window up to the roof, this was Trinia. Andrian, Carufinwe and Riley all gave chase. But, being in plate mail I try to follow them on the ground instead. I lost them at times on the ground but my constant looking up was causing other to look up they could see the chase on the roof tops, too.

This cause a mob to form because they have heard that Trinia was the one who killed the king and they all wanted to have her hung. As my friends were chasing Trinia on the roof I was trying to slow the mob down by looking and going the wrong way. I found out later that Riley was able to cast his sleep spell on her before she got away. She was hard to follow and it did take all three of them to not lose her on the roof tops. The other three decided not to take her to Field Marshall because they believe she would be hung and we would never find out who did murder the King. They where trying to lose the mob but could not decided were to hide her. They decide to take her to Vencarlo because Andrain believes he is the legendary Blackjack and would help them. On the way to Vencarlo they meet up with the Blackjack who demanded they release Trinia to him and to put down their weapons. Blackjack attempted to slap Andrian with his blade but was surprised that Andrian was able to block his attempt. They told Blackjack that they are trying to hide Trinia and were not going to take her to the Field Marshall. Trinia told Blackjack that they have been trying to help hide her from the mob and was going to take her to Vencarlo for hiding. Blackjack leads them all into Vencarlo fencing school and told them to wait and he will fetch Vencarlo for them. Once Vencarlo appears he does offer to hide Trinia in his secret rooms. I meet back up with the others outside of Field Marshall Cressida Kroft office. We went in to tell the Field Marshall that Trinia was able to escape us by running on the roof tops. Field Marshall understood and dismissed us. The rest of the day the guards begin a house to house search for Trinia Sabor.

Kuthona 3, 4708 – The guards continue the house to house search for Trinia. Later that afternoon a trial for Trinia Sabor is done in her absent. We asked how can they do that and we are told that they want to bring the King murder to a close because they know who did it. The first witness was who had heard her say if the King touched her again she would kill him and the second witness was who saw and heard her say she did not mean to kill him as she ran from the king room where his body was. With those two story the crowd wanted her hung. They put out an order when Trinia Sabor was found she was to be put to death for the murder of King Eodred Arabashi II.

After this was done Queen Ileosa spoke to the crowd and told them that she was with child with the rightful heir to the Crimson Throne. This did not sit well with us because why did she not say she was with child with King Eodred Arabashi II child. I along with many other had cast the detect lie ritual prayer and we did not detect her not telling us the truth. She also stated she would only take the name of “Queen Regent” instead of Queen to satisfy the people who do not wish a foreigner to be their ruler. The crowd was satisfied with what the “Queen Regent” had said and it looks like very thing is going to go back to normal. But, we are still confused as to what truly is going on.

Kuthona 4, 4708 – The city was getting back to business as usual. We were able to do some shopping. I wanted to get some materials to be able to cast some of the prayer rituals I have. I also have decided to send my journal to my father to let him know what I have been doing since I’m not in Sandpoint and not sure when I’m going to return home.

Kuthona 5, 4708 – We were summoned by Field Marshall Cressida Kroft because the “Queen Regent” wanted to reward us for our services during the riots. She gave us the reward of a magical horn to call upon our allies at time of need. She also knighted Andrian to be the new Captain of the Night Watch only because he is the only human in our little group and he does most of the talking. She did make us all Sergeant of Arms of the Night Watch. We are now part of the Korvosan Guard and can give orders to any guard below the rank of captain from sunset to sunrise. I have no problem with Andrian being our leader he is a better talker than me. Also, there are times he must lie and I’m not sure I could.

Kuthona 6, 4708 – We received a summons from Devargo Barvasi of the Eel’s End. He claimed to have been visited by two friends of ours. When we arrived he treated us with open arms and told us that Xanesha has asked him many questions about us. She paid him well and just thought we should know. He also told us that he had the head of Gaedren Lamm animated by a necromancer named Ralth who lost all of his stuff and was in need of money. Devargo always wanted to have an animated head and since we gave him Gaedren head and was able to make a deal with the necromancer Ralth to animate it, he did. To his surprise Gaedren Lamm was happy to be brought back and had a story he wanted to tell Andrian. He told us this story of Yara Porpheria who is the older half brother of King Chadris Porpheria. He was a man that loved the young ladies and used Gaedren Lumm to supply him. Well for some reason one of the ladies he liked and had around for many years when all of a sudden she ran off. Yara paid Gaedren to find her and bring her hack to him which Gaedren agreed. But, when he did find her she was with child and Gaedren wanted to make more money so he did not tell Yara he found her yet. Gaedren waited until she had the child than came for the girl who was staying with her grandmother. Gaedren told her grandmother to take the child and say nothing else they would both be dead. He took the girl back to Yara Porpheria. Gaedren saw the girl around for a year or two before he stop seeing her. Never did know what happen to her. He watched over the child until it was time to add him to his little lambs. The point to his story was that Andrian was that child. Andrian you have a legitmate claim to the Crimson Throne! From this Devargo wanted Andrian to give him a 100 gold to be quite for a time. When Andrain did not agree he raise it a couple of times before Andrian told he could tell who ever we wanted to tell. With that we left Devargo place. I told Andrian that he should go and denounce the throne now before the word got out and people wanted his head or for him to take the throne.
