Stoneshade Keep - Mid morning
The morning raid to Saliam farm leads to a dozen or so arrests. Several knights at the Keep spend several hours interrogating the prisoners with different levels of success.
By order of the Lord Commander Duke Stoneshade, any farmer that took up arms against the soldiers is to be executed along side the offender they captured the previous day, attacking Wim Reise.
The gallows are completed quickly and word spreads through Ostiarium like wild fire, that public executions and a Gauntlet is expected to take place around noon. Businesses around Suncross Plaza prepare for an unusual influx of people. Food and drinks stalls know today will be a good day for business. The spectacle of public killings kindles a fire around populations that few others do. Many people start making their way into the inner city, some to find a good spot to see the hangings others to line the street that goes from the keep into the Plaza and see the criminals walk to their doom.
Alexis - Sir Zane is impressed with your actions and how your calm presence during the raid kept most of the other soldiers from using to much force against the farmers. Although you find out that the interrogations lead to the names of potential Creed members, most have gone into hiding. But at least you have several suspects. You are assigned to Suncross Plaza duty during the hangings on crowd control.
Islana- Sir Zane offers you a place at the Keep's barracks, in light of your investigating skills. The presence of the Creed of Slivikhi in the city, was exposed mainly due to your actions in the last few weeks. He offers you a place among the city militia like Jiyn, feeling your skills could be best used in the military in exchange for training. He makes it clear that you would likely be assigned to Alexis Greyriver squad once her promotion is finalised.
Arbiter Voah - You find it peculiar that you are not yet called to the Duke's presence or Sir Zane's in light of the circumstances. After all a outlawed cult appears to be operating in the city, with an established presence and it should immediately be an Arbiter's duty to investigate and rout out its members and ideology. However you have plenty on mind including Blackwolf, plus you are still recovering from your ordeal in Sentinel Island so you return to the Rectory. Once home you share your findings with the Friar who now has a couple of guards guarding him and keeping watching over the Rectory. He shows you a couple of vials he secured from Wim Riese, a substance called Felfar that many claim allows communion with the gods.
Tarmen - Your report to the Keep as expected. You are returning to duty and Sir Zane asked to see you. Once in Stoneshade Keep you notice a buzz of activity as the soldiers are gearing up for the public executions in a few hours. You gather that several suspected Creed members and dissidents are being hanged at high noon. You can't stop wondering if your latest actions will put you in danger.
Gonyaul - Sergeant Carver comes finds you wondering around the Keep. She hands you 4gp as your information lead to the arrest of a Creed member. It would have been ten if you had kept him alive. You are free to go about your business although she advises you, like she advised the others that you should be careful and keep to public places. Although she doesn't seem too concerned about your safety. You can tell she finds you odd. With the inner city full of people at noon you will find yourself at Suncross Square at the time of the executions.
Ostiarium - Mid morning
Wim Riese - Still pondering the possibilities of your union with the Sadir family, your mind keeps drifting to the Felfar. You are now quite sure the pull of the vials is much more mental than it is physical. You are still interested in finding out more about the vials you gave Nicolaus for testing and decide to visit the Apothecary for some answers. You hear talk about a cult operating in the city and of course you see the streets of the city filling up with bodies eager for the public executions. You quickly realise its one of the man that attacked you. Eder Sadir assigns to burly loggers of his confidence to keep an eye out for you.
Hunter - The twins can't keep babysitting you all day as much as they would like to. Plus a public execution in the square means extra coin and business during what are otherwise quiet winter months. They rope you along to help prepare skewers of meat to sell to the crowds. Not wanting to feel like you are a burden on them while you can't hunt you go along. Maybe this will keep your mind occupied.
Cagliostro - Wim Riese comes to see you to discuss your findings surrounding the vials. The scholar in you is quite interested in the events of today. These are of course the public executions in the new settlement and its impact will be felt in years to come. Plus you are curious about this Creed people are start whispering about.
