Alex: So this is the Jarl's longhouse then. We'll probably be able to find some answers here then. But, before we go in, i just want to make sure that you know not to offend the Jarl or threaten him in any way Alissa.

Alissa: Oh come on brother, I'm not an idiot.
Alex: (mumbling) Really? That's news to me.
Alissa: Come on! We've gotta find out who sent those assassins before we leave.
Alex:(sighs) Just remember to...stay calm, alright.

Inside...
Arianna: My Jarl, you seem pleased today. Have I done anything to earn your praise.

Siddgeir: Oh after last night's performance you've pleased me quite greatly.
Arianna: I am happy to be of assistance, my Jarl was able to treat me quite well last night as well.

Arianna: My Jarl, I wonder if you have looked into what I have asked you to?

Siddgeir: Oh right, I remember now. That funding for research as well as that private estate hidden away somewhere in the reach. Yes I've managed to secure those two for you.
Arianna: Thank you my Jarl.
Siddgeir: Hmm, it seems two strangers approach.


Siddgeir: Hmm, so who may you to be? A mysterious looking stranger, and a common whore?

Alissa: You fucking son of a b-

Alex: Alissa, calm down. Let me do the talking.

Alex: My apologies, Jarl Siddgeir for intruding in whatever you were doing. I would just like to ask if you've seen anything strange go on recently, maybe a group of threatening looking men wandering or lurking in an area perhaps?

Siddgeir: Yes, I've seen something similar, or heard about it anyways. Recently there have been a group of weird men hanging around the graveyard. You should check it out if it interests you.
Alex: Thank you my Jarl. One more thing, I would refrain from offending the two of us during our stay here. If we willed it, this hold be a cemetery, with blood rising up to your knees. Thank you for your understanding, Siddgeir.

Arianna: Hmm....

A few minutes later...
Alissa: So then, what's our next move?

Alex: I'll go to the cemetery, you go ask around town and get the supplies ready. That sound okay?

Alissa: Alright, just stay safe.
Alex: Don't worry. With your knack for trouble, I should be the one telling that to you.

In the cemetery...
Alex: Now that I'm here, it's time for to do a bit of investigating.







Alex: There are magical runes here, the type for long range communication and signals, as well as warding. This confirms the presence of the order being here.

Arianna: Ah, so I see you've found me out then. 'Tis a shame, really.

Alex: You, so you're a member of the order. Well then prepare to-

Arianna: Wait, calm yourself foolish lad. I'm not here to fight, going against you twins alone would be a death sentence.

Alex: If you're not here to fight, then what are you here for?

Arianna: To propose a mutually beneficial bargain. The way I see it you're in need of information, with the entire order scrambling after you two. Why not let me provide you with some.

Alex: Alright then, let's talk.

Arianna: Not here. 'Tis too open and exposed. Follow me.


A few minutes later...

Arianna: We're here. Now if you can excuse me for a few minutes, I must get my things in order before I permit you to enter.

A while later...
Arianna: You may enter.
Alex: Finally.

Alex: Hey, what took you-


Arianna: Do you like what you see?

Alex: You're attempting to seduce me aren't you. I hate to break it to you, but it won't work.

Arianna: 'Tis a shame. Most men would be glad to spend the night with me, but you aren't like most men are you?

Arianna: Anyways, shall we begin. Ask away.

Alex: Alright then. Why is the order after us?
Arianna: A foolish question, what that you already know the answer of. You two are too powerful, it would idiotic to let you to live freely.

Alex:...What are you doing.

Arianna: Just let me...Uhhh.Ahhh. Sorry, I just had to have a release.
Alex:...

Alex: Alright then, why are you helping us?

Arianna: Let's just say I'm not the biggest fan of the order. They're dreadfully boring to be quite honest, always wanting an iron grip over there members. With your arrival it appears as if I had died in that previous attack, leaving me free to my own devices.

Arianna: Well, if those are all of your questions, I suggest you begin to leave this hold. Assassins are already on their way here, a large number of them hellbent on killing you too. I wish you luck, may we cross paths some other time.

A while later...



Alex: I'll leave these guys to you.


Alissa: We've gotta go.
