Sylvia nodded quietly at Pylia's words. Before she could respond to Pylia, Ferric and Shor finally came back. She smiled at both of them, as she greeted Shor, "Glad to see you again as well, Shor. No need to apologize for being gone all day," After he mentioned that he heard from Yorik and offered to continue in the private room, she answered "Yeah, let's continue. We do have something important that we need to show you as well," She then followed Shor into the room.
She took a seat at the table, and thanked Ferric for the water and cider. After Ferric went back to minding his own business, Sylvia would proceed to pull out the cylinder, the map, and any other evidence they gathered from today. As she did, she spoke, "As Yorik probably told you, we are investigating the bouts of vandalism, and one of the perpetrators, Dimos, was willing to turn himself in, and help us catch not only the other gang members, but also the corrupt guards and the noble's son who is organizing and paying them to commit the acts of vandalism. Of course, we need help from guards we can trust, and you and your team are the only guards we know and trust. So, I apologize for the inconvenience,"
She then told him as she folded her hands together, "After we left Dimos in Yorik's care, we went to continue the investigation. We spoke with Kathie, the daughter of To the Point's shop owner, and she told us about the gang and who were the members, and how the guards weren't doing anything. She has noted that Rodey, a guard she trusts, has been switched to patrol a different place. But that's nothing in comparison to what we found next,"
She continued, "We stumbled upon a Dead Drop box with the Lightning Company's emblem on it. There, we found a map leading to the Throaty Mermaid tavern," as she mentioned this, she tapped on the childishly drawn map with two fingers. "Naturally, we weren't sure where this map lead at the time. When we got to the docks, we learned it was the Throaty Mermaid. When we got there, I was able to ask some questions to the bartender. He was able confirm that a pair of regulars, a pair of orcs named Banger and Mash, came in and spending a lot of coin on top shelf drinks and spending for the women they brought in. We also learned that they frequent an old brewery that's been shut down,"
She then continued, "So we went to investigate the old shut down brewery, this time with Syfr and Dinah, and thanks to Dinah, I was able to eavesdrop on a bit of their conversation. They were expecting their pay to be dropped off this time around. And well...let's just say that they're not getting it," She pointed to the canister. She explained, "After their conversation ended, I had Dinah leave her hiding spot, and she caught sight and whiff of a woman leaving really burnt and badly cooked cookies in a barrel, which is also a dead drop box for the Lightning Company. Saw the emblem on the brick near it. We checked it, and we found that," As she pointed to the cylinder, "In that cylinder is eighty platinum. The payment for the act of vandalism last night, and a hit list,"
She then finished, "I was also hoping that it may be possible to compare the writing from the hit list to the writing from the nobles. That may nail the noble who's organizing all of this,"
