---BEGIN--- still 8-9PM
Marquis begins by asking us what we brought the people to the Sanctum for, which is because they are independent and capable of taking care of these people. Marquis' people drag in Caleb, and ask after his crew's beating, which we vouch for and they continue to imprison. Hallways around us have been cleared. Need to claim our assistants, PERS to do so. He pulls out files on Druss and me. My file has a description of my position in the church and my education background. He's trying to drop some dick with having this info. Go into side office to talk to Kel. Kel was closing up shop and leaving, approached by an Elvish woman wanting to work with me on a project, then she loses consciousness. She also knows white Dragonborn Warlock was the one who escaped during our fight. Druss then takes Leona into the room to talk to her. After our talks, they are interviewed by the Sanctum people, and emerge very tired. Not like a bad tired though. Benefits of short rest now. Want to escort Kel home after her ordeal. Instead we are going to take Kel and Leona to the estate.
 
Actually it's 7PM Get to Kel's place, it has been looked over also, but not to the degree of the shops. Get Max too, and he's in full battle gear. Notice that Leona's armor has lots of flex space... Get to the manor and disseminate the information we've gotten from Kel and Leona. Sleep through the night.
 
Next Morning Breakfast time, Melfina gets ready to track the blood from the Dragonborn Warlock. We navigate the carriage with Melfina pointing the way. As we near Locomotion, Melfina gets a cold feeling and we screech to a halt. Her vibe is a warning from her goddess. Dude's signal is still way north, >10 mi, so we don't pursue him. Inspecting the area around Locomotion, the door is unlocked and the building is empty. Papers are scattered everywhere in the waiting room. Melfina smells blood. Aquarium is shattered, paperwork is everywhere, and Elon is dead, shredded by weapons, defensive weapons, beaten after disarmed, and dead about 8 hours. We also find blueprints for Unique Boat. Aurane ritually casts gentle repose to preserve the body. Head back to the estate with the body.
 
1PM Arrive back to manor and red tiefling (Danarei) is waiting for us. We go inside. Danarei reacts poorly to seeing the corpse. Garfield takes the body to repose in the cellar. Danarei performs death rites of Solvene (blood goddess) and then plays an instrument and sings in celestial. It's a blessing and a warning. Melfina gets a vision of carnage, then of her goddess. Aurane goes to tell the Temple of Lady Constance immediately, since they're like law enforcement. Rorin comes with me, Druss stays with Danarei at the manor, and the girls go to the Sanctum. Aurane takes this issue to Vladimir, the head of the Guard. He is a bear, the ooooh rawr kind, not the ROAR kind. Rorin fills Vlad in on the investigation, and the murder. They want to investigate the body, but we try to PER them to a minimal version so as to not disturb the coins for gentle repose.
 
The girls take the issue to the Marquis.
 
We reconvene at the manor and show Vlad the body. Head back up into the drawing room.
