Marita took note of the fact that Robert cleared out the Public House for them. While others might still be suspicious of him, knowing what Marita did, she felt that they could trust him. Not completely, but enough. She wasn't going to directly acknowledge his actions, that would potentially dispel the plausible deniability he had. If nothing else, she now had the freedom to speak freely about the rest of the things she had to share with the rest of the party.

[color=FF6C5C]"The others have already agreed, but I'll formally accept this job as well. I've already worked here one night, might as well do another. That said, while we should all go there together, only Victoria and I should go in the building. He would likely bar entry if he saw Kathryn or Kosara again and no offense Blackberry, but you saw what happened the last time you tried to approach a random townsperson politely."[/color] If they were in a less backwater region it'd be a different story, but those were the breaks when it came to operating an inquisition in a rural environment like this. People tended take one look at them and see a monster acting like a person.

[color=FF6C5C]"As for the ring. I'm fairly sure it's mundane. I'll check with Detect Magic."[/color] Marita makes a few swift gestures.

[b][color=FF6C5C]"Light, reveal thy nature."[/color][/b]

The clerics irises flash with light quick quickly fades away until all that remains is a mere glimmer that you could see if one looked closely at her pupils. Her spell cast, she focuses on the ring for a few seconds before turning back to the group. 

[color=FF6C5C]"I see no magical aura about it. It's simply a ring, which means that that's enough to do its job."[/color] Marita didn't mention what that job was with Lea nearby, hoping that Victoria would be able to figure it out and planning to tell the rest when they weren't in a public place. She saw all she wanted to, but the spell lasted another 10 minutes. She figured that she didn't need it for anything right now, but perhaps there would be something else Kathryn or Kosara had yet to bring up, and it was in poor form to waste a spell given how few she could use in one day.

[color=FF6C5C]"Yes, I'd also like the soup and some bread. Oh, and a glass of Zinnoberrot if you still have some available."[/color] Last night Marita's justification for not getting wine was because she was on the job. That was still the case, nothing had changed in that regard, but the past 3 days had been so bad, she decided 'Fuck it, I'll treat myself just this once.'  One glass wasn't going to impair her abilities or judgment.

[color=FF6C5C]"Well since we're divulging our reasons for traveling instead of having a real occupation, it wouldn't hurt to tell a bit more about myself. I'm out here because I don't have a home to go back to. My family home was destroyed long ago, and I'm exiled from my church for... let's call it heretical reasons. Perhaps one day if I can do enough out here I can return, but I doubt I'll have that kind of fortune. Regardless, even if I'm stuck in exile for perpetuity, staying on the path will see me rewarded."[/color] Idly she thought about how her situation was mirrored to Victoria's. Her relatives may still be out there, and while it may be good to see them, she dearly wished to never find out what became of them, lest she have to investigate. A worst case scenario involved her having to kill her own kin, an outcome she would prefer to avoid.

Around this time, Robert happened to pass by, and she noticed a magical aura about him. She focused further and saw that it was magenta, enchantment. Uh oh.

[color=FF6C5C]"Actually, sorry to do this to you after all you've done to help us, Robert but I just remembered something we forgot to do. We won't be able to run that errand for you after all. In fact, it's pretty urgent so I think we'll be leaving about [i]now[/i]."[/color] The tone of her voice brokered no discussion or argument about this course of action. Marita stood up, dug in her coin purse and placed a gold coin on the table. [color=FF6C5C]"Here, to compensate you for the trouble and make up for the lost business."[/color] She fixed her clothes as best as she could and turned to leave the Public House.
