The Lady

In the interest of getting this moving again...
Everyone finds some random thing to do during their free day in Tarsis. Nym and Darvin were planning on spending a romantic day together. This was interrupted by the sword who spent most of the morning badgering him about a growing evil. With a heavy sigh he searched it out and discovered that a local priest had been possessed by a minor ifrit that had been intent on raising a demon.

No one was sure what Grumbleshanks did and he did not volunteer any information.

Violet and Aranel wound up spending the day parusing the local museums and noble shops.

The next morning Ascadan took them to the harbor loaded them on the ship and waved goodbye. It took a few days, but the captain of the vessel finally tracked down the Lady Narath.
From afar the ship looked like it was in good condition, but when Captain Darvin arrived on the ship he could tell that it had been through a few rough patches in the last couple of days. The sails had tears in them and the crew looked haunted.

Tarsis

Seeing no comments from the last post...

The ever enlarging company rode out from the small village later that day. They stopped for a brief lunch, courtesy of food provided by Lanarra, late that afternoon. Aranel and Violet chatted off and on for the ride while Darvin and Nym were subdued. Grumbleshanks spent most of the day sleeping, his donkey wandering back and forth across the trail.

The party continued like this for several days until they reached the outskirts of a medium sized city toward night.
"This is Tarsis." Aranel explained. "Currently it the name of both the kingdom and the city, but that seems to change daily. We should be able to meet with my contact tomorrow morning to see if he has any information about your ship."
"I wouldn't mind finding an Inn inside." Nym piped up.
"I will just sleep out here regardless." Grumbleshanks complained.
Darvin, I detect an evil in the city. If you have time tomorrow you search it out. Darvin's sword piped up in his head.
Violet just shook her head.

The trial, such as it is.

Lanarra looked up as the door opened.
"Well hello gentleman. What is the problem?"
The villagers grabbed Grumbleshanks and shoved him forward. "We caught him snooping around last night. He claimed to be looking for a more comfortable spot to sleep.
Lanarra looked him over closely.
"Well introductions first please." She quickly introduced Nym, Darvin, and the villagers to her friend Aranel, before turning back toward Grumbleshanks.
"What do you have to say for yourself?" She asked pointedly.
"Last night, I decided not to join the lovebirds." He said pointing at Nym and Darvin. "Who knows what sort of debauchery they get into. So, I went to camp outside. It was rather uncomfortable so I decided to try to sleep on one of the thatch roofs."
"That could be plausible. An odd thing to do. What do you all have to say in his defense?" Lanarra asked turning toward Darvin, Nym, and Violet.
