☀️ Arselia and Akonia

-- Well, he's probably some kind of agile rogue with a hundred points in Dexterity and Accuracy: we're simply not prepared for that if we don't have our mage... At the very least, we should try to find her, given this forced pause.

Alaria wasn't entirely sure how this remark related to her suggestion. Apparently, she wasn't the only one who liked to daydream, and the convoluted, overcomplicated, and fragmented chain of events that led Erephir from point A to point 3.14 remained solely in the commander's mind. After all, they were only conducting reconnaissance, and there was no guarantee they would even find a trace. However, a well-informed governor could help them with this. Perhaps he even knew something about the scoundrel who kidnapped Naeru.

The servant is making a sketch of the attacker. He looked approximately like this.

Finally, the former inquisitor took a closer look at the sketch of the attacker. Perhaps she had seen him in the city before. Perhaps he was that mysterious, potentially alien, Lance. In case this was true, she tried to sift through her memories to see if she had encountered similar faces in her own world. Perhaps among the posters of particularly wanted criminals? If the unknown person was an alien, that would mean he had at least one weakness that could theoretically be exploited. Although, in that case, they would definitely need to visit the SRI. And all of this assumes that they will even be able to find the kidnapper.
