Getting to It
They will come downstairs and find Malik eating breakfast, having just come off his gate shift a little bit ago. He'll chat, mentioning that he's off to check out the Servitor's speech before resting. He'll need to be in peak performance for the evening, as he's been assigned guard duty at Representative Rufus's manor while the Servitor is staying there. He already did a shift the night the Servitor arrived. Yes, he did notice a young tabaxi wandering the courtyard at night.The Speech
They arrive near what seems to be the end of the speech. Speech: ... and I know, the raids are not your only concern. Your harvests, suffer, as they have for many years. With me, I have brought top scholars to investigate further. No doubt resides with me that this issue will last much longer. For the short term, I bring volunteer parrs, specialists from Vira's Aspiration and Ildsletten, to keep your crops hale and hearty. Lastly, my fearless sailors braved the torrents of the ocean in the Flora Cycle to bring fresh produce from Ildsletten. Each family may meet my assistant at the docks to receive a share. "Now, I have much to attend to, with your Representative. It is an honor serving you," he says with a subservient bow and then heads to his first destination.The Encounter
Glitter can be seen wandering the courtyard. By the time they get in or get her attention, she'll be near the door back inside. "Dad? You're here!" Hugs. "Are you here to help, too?" "No, I'm here to take you back." "Hearty," the Servitor steps out the door. "Lovely of you to join us. Glitter sings your praises and of how proud she is that you work such important missions for me." Hearty growls and pulls Glitter close. "This isn't quite what I ordered, therefore I don't think it's fair for me to give you quite what we agreed on." If no one offers anything, Hearty will speak up. "I think they're worth far more to you alive." "Is that so? Let's see and start with you, boy. Where is it?" "Elemental Equivalence? No, boy. Where. is. my. stone?" "What did you say? Omdanne? She wouldn't dare set foot on that island. She.. She's talked to you? Claimed you? What did she do? Where is it? WHERE IS THE HEART?" Omdanne will intervene if they don't seem to have a way to escape. She already looks _very_ diminished. "Ah, young fool. You have underestimated me again." Underestimated you have, of me, again. Ah, gherung nar. undervø rø bjern, i se, tennam. "Omdanne. Yours will be a slow death as I bleed your power; no mercy." Slow, will be, your death, as bleed your power will I; no mercy. Omdanne. birkk, jer ul, ræl død, læ blyde ræl saru jer sø; ingynn kilið. Omdanne, throws up a wall of stone, but then falls to the ground. "Go," she commands. "The wall will not slow him long." She sinks into the earth.Available Info
Now is the time for them to plan how to approach this. They can glean info that he'll be doing rounds through town, visiting shops and businesses for a few hours before finishing the day with Representative Rufus at the rep's manor; which is where the Servitor and his two parrs are staying. Representative's name: Autumn Eladrin Elf: There are no simple meals, only lavish feasts. You spend excessively on creature comforts. Paelias Bantius Rufus. Servitor Kulden will have arrived just the the other day, evening of the 19th. He was meeting with the representative almost all day yesterday (the 20th). giving an early morning speech at the city center (Forum, Klar Forum proper). Hearty's daughter—Glitter—is at his side, as well as another young firbolg male. They can gather info that the Servitor arrived with a squad of Altruists, maybe even an Aligner. But they left town, unsure of where they were sent to.Relations
