Investigation at the Orphanage.

// Keen senses so I get constant checks but the base values are like a 4?

////Search 18 spot 15.

Put it in my pack to avoid damage to it and continue on.
/////Soon as I meet with Celovar with camo down I'll show it to him

///I will not drop camoflauge until I know it's safe and then I'll show Celovar the flower.

After being explained the the tracks and shown the flower Celovar looks around the tracks where they disappear with a sigh.

They are getting through....but where did they get out? Do you see any breaks in the ground or an entrance to a tree that could be opened, or is this all just normal terrain?

"I believe the trail has gone cold. Who is they? Do you have any other information on who could have done this? " After getting the answer Iwean will begin an expanding circle search, expanding 200 yards each circle for ahalf mile. The search will include low laying branches in the trees.

"I know who did it, it was only a question of how. A very strong question....The flower we will have to use for scrying. We will have to see that it gets to Nadin assuming this ends up with no new answers."

After receiving the flower and the soul gem Celovar goes to Nadin and Corb.

From what I understand this gem possesses Mirandas soul. I am unsure how to free it and need to speak with Dalia soon. But We can use the flower and her belongings to maybe tell if this is indeed her soul. From here we need to figure out how to get her old body back or maybe a new body.

Iwean will accompany Celovar.

I was informed about the gem retrieved, I want show it to Leo, so he can attempt contact the soul inside, and confirm if she is Miranda, maybe confort her... let her aware we are working to rescue her, if the gem contains indeed her poor soul.
Aditionally my scry attempt was fruitless, even with Miranda things, the blood witch surely worked ways to block my attempts... we could ask for the Grand Mage help, maybe he can try, but I suspect this will not be the case, maybe more conventional ways to attempt track her have more chances, I cant say for now, but I'm glad Iwean joined us, he is much competent in this aspect.

"My friends we have been thru too much together for me to turn away."

We suspect the spirit within the gem is Miranda one, a kid wich body was stolen by the vile Victorya... if this is the case she needs be conforted, and we will attempt everything we can to restore her to her body.If this is not Miranda soul... well, we can offer revenge against Victorya, as this is what we intend.

Celovar holds out the soul gem, refusing to leave its side.

Her name is Miranda, she is a human whom just recently turned sixteen. She had brown hair, was about this tall *He makes a motion with his hands*, and was human. She was just a commoner that was staying at the orphanage. She has no royal blood to my knowledge. If it is indeed her maybe telling her I am working on it might comfort her.

As Leo concentrates on the gem, he gets an extremely weak and brief feeling of despair. The feeling only lasts for a second and is quickly gone. Perhaps there is a way to magnify his energy and ability to reach this spirit.

((Leo, please give me your Spellcraft and Lore skills.))

How many are needed for a brilliant essence?

"This appears to be outside of my realm. Celovar do you need my assistance anymore?"
