Investigation at the Orphanage.

Celovar is seen at Orphanage trying to get a meeting with the head mistress. He seems extra impatient and insists every second counts. If she asks what it is about he only mentions one name "Miranda."

When Celovar mentions Miranda, the Headmistress frowns and nods, leading him into her office. "What can I do to help find her?"

"I need to know when was the last time she was seen, how she was taken if you know. Did she say why she was leaving or where she was going? Did she leave any items behind that could help me locate her? I will look over her room for clues if you should permit it. This requires immediate attention I am not sure how much time I am working with."

The Headmistress dabs at her eyes with a handkerchief as Celovar speaks.

"She and that girl staying at the temple...Lianna is her name, they go for walks right after dinner every evening, but they always return before dusk. The night Miranda disappeared, Lianna sent word that she wasn't feeling well. I think they go to the settlement and skirt the woods from time to time, but I never watched them closely."

She takes a moment to compose herself, her concern clearly painted on her face.

"Of course you can search her room. She didn't have much, a hairbrush, a few plains dresses, but that's all. Just....please tell me what you find, no matter how awful. She's very dear to us."

"I am doing what I can, I just need all the cooperation I can get. I will search her room and then make my way to the Temple to speak with this Lianna. Is there anything else you can tell me before I make my way elsewhere to follow up on leads?"

After talk with Arya Nadin would join Celovar at the orphanage, with haste he goes into the conversation

- This hairbrush, some prefered dress or a teddy bear, we can have use of this to attempt a scry ((if DM approves)). Arya told me what transpired Celovar, and we will do all we can to help locate the poor girl and save her from the tendrils of those evil 'things'... in one piece.

The woman shakes her head and sighs.

"No, that is all I know."

Then she looks at Nadin and answers him.

"She preferred the blue dress. Miranda is too old for a teddy bear, she did just turn sixteen."

"Very well, I will get started. Nadin I would take the hair brush and the blue dress and attempt to scry on her. I will go and look about those woods after I speak with Lianna."

Celovar then makes his way out of the Orphanage after thanking the Head mistress and heads into the Lathander Temple.

This will be done. Please Ill have these and will attempt scry as soon I prepare myself and my defenses.

Having discussed this tactic with Celovar, Cleo also questions the priests that populate the Lathander Settlement.

"The two young human women who would take their afternoon walks together... on the day that Miranda disappeared (X day), did one woman go walking, or did two?"

Both men will be told that two women left to go on their regular walk, but ine did return early, looking pale and shaky and saying she didn't feel well. She also said that the other decided to stay out for a little while longer. As there was still plenty of daylight left, the guards didn't think to pry further and simply went about their business.

Celovar would order a tracker as well as another guard to look over the area where the two girls would commonly meet. He would say that Miranda was looking for a special flower.

"Look for signs of struggle or any path that they could of led the girl off with. If you wish I will accompany you on this task, but I cannot track myself."

Hearing of Celovar's need, Iwean will do a general look see in the area and go visit Celovar.

Nadin would adress Leo

Thanks for come my friend, apparently the body stealer spirit has seized another victim, a teenage girl orphan, from lathander orphanage. It seems the blood witch spirit has a new gem that is able to encage spirits... and this is your area. I know Celovar is working in this trying to locate the teenage and the blood witch associated vampire lords, yes they are two at least. I need to meet Celovar after I attempt a scry... this blood witch and her associates are extremely powerful as well, considering the reports I received, and I dont think even Celovar alone can stop them.
I do still intend to pay a visit to the library in order to try learn more about blood witches abilities.

Upon Iwean finding Celovar he gives a small smile.

"Well don't you just show up at the most convenient times. I need your aid in the woods, a girl was taken from here and I need to find out if there were any signs of struggle or if she left via persuasion. I can point out the general area and while I know it is not much help she was seeking a beautiful flower."

The Unicorn guides me friend, Lets go take a look and see what we find.

((please let me know if Iwean and Celovar go looking for tracks. Iwean, I will need your base Survival skill.))

// That is the intension.

///base survival from the skills tab is 26.

Iwean will check for tracks of children and look for anyothers. If hefinds any leading anyway he will follow in camo and instruct the others to stay out of sight and watch for his electric arrows to signal help is needed.

The two travel to the edge of the wood, on the far edge of the settlement, where Iwean picks up the trail of the two women. Just as Lianna stated, one set of footprints turns around and returns toward the Temple, while the other set continues into the forest. Roughly twenty meters in, another set of footprints joins the smaller set, and in another five meters, Miranda's footsteps disappears. The new prints disappear in another few steps. There is no sign of struggle and the abduction seems to be very clean.

((Iwean and Celovar, please give me your search and/or spot skill.))
