Picking Up The Trail

[Anton Wolfram]

*Deputy-Inquisitors Zamba and Sholto stood outside the Wolf's Howl as they waited for their cheif to arrive. they had managed to aquire a room for their fellow Inquisitor, Jackson, to rest and recuporate in follwoing his unfortuante encounter with a falling tree.*

*They had now managed to get back outside and were waitng for Inquisitor-General Wolfram to arrive to find out what there next move was to be. Naturaly they couldn't fail to notice the Brick investiagtion that was takeing place just a couple of feet away from them.*



Sholto: "You know we realy could move that lot on for obstructing an entrence."

*Sholto said as he looked over at the group.*

Sholto: "Or how about causing a public nuisnece."

*Zamba rolled his eyes.*

Zamba: "We've got bigger fish to catch remember...let the local militia deal with them if there is a problem."

Sholto: "I'm just anxious to get on with this invesitgation....the longer we hang around the more of a distance Leytan and Vyrrian Wren put between us and them."

Zamba: "Paitence is a virtue Sholto I'm sure Inquisitor-General Wolfram knows what he's doing and has more then likely already found a good lead from his inquireys at the locla establishment."

*Sholto nodded and the two continued to wait for Wolfram to arrive.*

*A few mineats later Wolfram apperd comeing up the main street acompaniend by Jacob. The two deputies saluted.*

"At ease. Anything to report??"

Zamba: "No sign of the fugetives sir....but a few of the putners have confirmed that BOTH Leytan & Wren had rooms here."

Sholto: "They sujested we talk to two staff members who seemed rather freindly with them, a miss Ann-Marie Marx and a miss Jane Ragnall Sir."

*Wolfram took all this information in and nodded.*

"Right well that seems like as good a place to start as any see if you can find miss Marx and Miss Ragnell."

*Remembers Jacob.*

"Oh. This is Mr. Jacob...who has kindly voluntered his services to take Inquistor Jacksons place and help us track down Leytan and Vyrrian Wren."

*The two deputies looked at Jacob some what apprahensivly but nodded their heads politly*

Sholto: "Nice to meet you Mr. Jacob"

Zamab: "yes alway nice to meet someone willing to lend a hand in the pursuit of the law."

*The two deputies then set off into the Inn to carry out their orders and find Ann-Marie and Raggie. Wolfram turned to Jacob.*

"Still new to the job but their both keen enough."

[Jacob]

Jacob speaks slowly"They may be keen, but are they enough to survive our prey... is that a brick?" Jacob turns to the commotion around the floating brick. Returning his atention back to the inquisitor "a floating brick... well what do we have so far, I can't even begin to track them with out more information, even then it may be hard seeing there not ice giants that leave quite large tracks" pauses and looks around " where did my damnd horse go."

[Anton Wolfram]

*Wolfram looked to where Jacob had indicated and saw the brick.*

"I....well....It certainly appears to be a brick.....dam strange place to put it."

*makes a mental note to give the Landlord a cetation for dangerous building practasises, before returing his attention to Jacob.*

"They are highly trained my men.....and as i'm sure you'll agree Mr. Jacob the only way to realy learn in threw actual experience."

"As from where we go from here there is still one more line of enquiery we can follow in this town should these serveing maids turn out to be duds....One of the fugetives, Leytan, has a brother who resieds in town."

"We can call on him and find out his brothers likely hideing spots."

[Jacob]

Jacob nodds "I hope is tounge is loose and true, or we may be forced to loosing it for him." Placing his mailed fingers upon his chin he thinks "we could also draw them to us, what if we were to take his brother captive, seeing he lives in a palce where they passed through there might have been an exhange of words, but it would depend on how much his brother cares for him. though such actions would be a travisty against proper moral actions, yet I am no inqusitor, so I shall leave such thoughts in your hands.

[Anton Wolfram]

*Wolfram nodded at Jacob's sujestions.*

"Hmmmm moraly wrong...certainly.....but might not the argument of "the end justifies the means" apply here...surely to catch two killers of the viciousness of Leytan & Vyrrian Wren the slight sin of detaining his brother would be justified. And so long as he was never endangerd himself."

"Hmmm it is a course of action that should be considered and not just dissmised out of hand."

"But first let us see if we can learn anything from these Wenches and then wather or not the brother would be willing to talk of his own free will before we make such a desision."

[Jacob]

"yes it is best to let the river run free, then to cage it to a similar will." Jacob said slowly. "Let us be off, scents die, and memories fades to liquid of fiery spirits and mournful lapses, and not even coin can bring back the forgotten nor what is lost."

[Anton Wolfram]

*Wolfram nodds*

"Yes indeed Mr. Jacob. Lets enter in and see if my deputys have found the two serveing wenches."

*Wolfram started to enter the Wolf's Howl Inn.*

Jacob follows slowly, his eyes watching the small crowd gathered around the floating brick.
