🎀 Wisteria 🎀

Rogdan, who had ultimately passed out right at the table, was brought back to consciousness by the sound of footsteps and Mirastir's exclamations.
—...take this, you damned dragon... —he muttered, half-asleep. —Oh, what's going on here? What time is it? At this early hour, decent heroes are still having heroic dreams. But then again...

He immediately tried to find Rogdan.
-- Sir Rogdan, are you aware? What the hell is going on?! Killing a priestess is like killing a kitten, who was she bothering? Ugh, if only I had been there...

—Who was killed? Why were they killed? —Rogdan asked, listening to the conversation of his companions and trying to understand what was happening.

-- Well, it doesn't really seem like a big problem, -- the airisufi replied somewhat embarrassed. -- Sir Rogdan, since we claim to be heroes, are we going to do anything about it? Shan and I know the captain of the local guard, we can directly offer him our help if we find him and we have something to offer. Otherwise, I don't know... Shan is right, it's not very comfortable to stay here when such things happen. What was that quest about the non-human in the workers' guild? -- the gladiator recalled.

—Okay, everyone, stay calm. —the baron rubbed his eyes, suppressed an oncoming yawn, got up from the table, and, stretching, took a few steps around the room. —What happened to Lady Vivian is, without a doubt, a terrible and inhumane tragedy that will leave its mark on every resident of this country, both for the servants of the Artery, the imperial family, and for us as well. —he stopped and pondered, stretching his neck. —In my personal opinion, no matter how pure our intentions may be, we are unlikely to be allowed to investigate this case. It is quite possible that the perpetrators have already been found and will soon face deserved punishment. However, this does not mean that we should not take the initiative and have a chance to show our good intentions, since we have all agreed to help the imperial family. If you, as you say, can contact someone from the guard and involve us in this matter, or at least find out the details, that would be great news.
Having finished with a light warm-up, Rogdan looked out the window, gazing at the surroundings of the lower city.
—As for the second part. Yes, the closure of the central square is another unpleasant consequence of the events that have taken place. However, we have indeed gained an opportunity to spend the next few days performing feats for Clematis. —after this, he told everyone who was interested about the details of the quest with the beastman and the tomb of Kragg. —On Monday, I myself need to represent our organization in the imperial palace, so if the journey takes more than a day, I will, unfortunately, not be able to provide my support in these quests.
