“You might want to hold your breath for a moment,” Sylvia warned Dimos before entering the sewers. Once they reached the Underhaven, she told him, “Welcome to Underhaven,” When they reached the kobold guards, she attempts to reassure the kobold guards, until Yorik finally arrived. She smiled at Yorik, and she greeted, “Hey, Yorik! Just the man we wanted to see!”

She continued, chuckling a bit, “It’s barely been a day, and we found trouble...again. We need to talk to guards we can trust, and I think Shor and Aisha are still busy at the castle, so here we are,”

She then clasped Dimos’ shoulder gently and she began explaining, “This young man is Dimos. He used to be part of a gang that was paid handsomely by a noble’s son to wreck shops. Their most recent target was his family’s shop. His father already filed a report, but the reason we needed to find guards we trust, is because the same noble’s son is paying the guards to not do anything about the shop wrecking incidents. Dimos is willing to turn himself in to atone and help with the investigation to catch the gang and the noble who has been organizing these crimes,”

She then got to the point, “We can help with the investigations, but we do need help. Could you watch over and protect Dimos while the four of us investigate? His gang and the noble’s son would most likely try and silence him if they knew he was turning himself in,”

Sylvia nodded, answering yes to the question regarding Ferric. After speaking with the ladies, Sylvia turned her attention back to her friends and to Dimos. She answered Dimos and Pylia, agreeing with their sentiments, “Right. Let’s get going. I don’t think the entrance to the sewers is too far from here,” She then led the way to the sewers, going at a quick and quiet pace, hoping to not attract any more attention to their group.

Sylvia let out a quiet sigh of relief after Buddy finished off the mimic. Huh...She didn’t need ki for this fight, and it left some stuff behind. She looked to Pylia, Dimos, and Dinah as they came back from healing the wounded. She answered Pylia, “The only question is where someone found that mimic...and if it was the only one...” She was worried that there may be more of these mimics lurking about.

Her attention turned to the ladies as they appeared to thank the group. She was curious about the mentioned expedition, however there was something they needed to do first, and she was sure the women and men who were attacked needed time to rest. She answered the women kindly and politely, “Oh, it’s not a problem. We’re happy we were here to help out,” She then pulled out one of Ferric’s business cards and handed it to the women saying, “Ferric sent us to help out around Gransys, so please don’t worry about repaying us,” She then asked the women, “We have to get going, but would it be ok if we came back to ask some questions later?”

Sylvia was glad that Buddy was there to Attack the mimic before it could try and bite her. She called to Shortfang after he managed to tangle the Mimic in the net, “Good job, Shortfang!” before turning her attention to the mimic. It was now or never. They needed to finish off this thing before it escaped from the net. So she hit the weakest looking spot with her tonfa, before directing another kick to it. After delivering her attacks, she called to Buddy, “Now, Buddy!”

Sylvia couldn’t believe what she was seeing. A monster was terrifying and attacking the merchants. She honestly thought that the only danger they’d find in a city like this were gangs and corrupt officials. She answered Pylia after she told her and Buddy to fight while she took care of the wounded, “Okay!” She then told Dimos, “Go with Pylia,” She also had Dinah appear and had her stay close to Dimos. If he was in trouble, Dinah would meow or find some other way to get their attention. After that, she moves forward to hit the mimic with a tonfa and then she’ll attempt to kick its leg.

Sylvia’s turn

Tonfa to hit: 19
Damage: 9

Unarmed Strike: 11
Damage: 5

Dinah will be staying close to Dimos and she’ll meow if he’s in trouble.

Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

No problem. I’ve been making you wait as well, and my posts have been kinda awkward. Sorry about that. ^^”

Initiative is a 6

Sylvia was conflicted. She wanted to get Dimos to Yorik as quickly as possible and she was worried that the situation would draw unwanted attention. However, she couldn’t really find it in her heart to abandon someone who may be in trouble. She answered Pylia, “It sounds like someone’s in trouble. We should check it out,” She looked to Dimos and she told him, “Dimos, stay close to Buddy. You should be able to hide behind him as well,” She then told Shortfang, “Don’t kill anyone Shortfang,”

After she answered and advised everyone, she led the way towards the commotion.

Sylvia took in the sight. Dimos was ready to head off with them, while the mother was crying. She felt her heart break as she witnessed the mother close the shop and continue crying as she did so. Turning her attention back to Dimos as he spoke again, she nodded and told him and her friends, “Alright then. Let’s head straight for the closest entrance to the sewers and make our way through there,” She then lead the way, away from the shop. She silently promised to keep Dimos safe and to take care of this situation as the sound of weeping grew quieter with distance.

Yeah, go ahead and roll a Persuasion check. ^^

Sylvia chuckled hesitantly at Pylia’s groan and she apologized, “Sorry, Pylia,” She nodded to Dimos in response to his request to tell his mother what was going on, and answered his warning, “Thank you for letting us know,” She watched him walk away and head back to the shop.

She listened to Pylia and Shortfang as they spoke. She answered Shortfang, feeling like she’s explaining this for the third time, “There’s a difference between running away and knowing which battles should be fought. Recklessly going after the noble’s son with weapons out of the blue will only give him the advantage of being a victim to a group of four thugs in the eyes of society,” She reassured Shortfang again, “We will get him. But, as I’ve said before, we need to be smarter than our opponents,”

She looked to Buddy’s note and she nodded in agreement, “Definitely. I was thinking of asking the victims first. They may be more forthcoming,”

After that, she told her friends, “Let’s get back to that shop. We need to keep our eyes on Dimos. After all, we are his bodyguards,” She then led the way out of the alleyway and back to the shop,”
