Within the Open Hand Temple, Sister Yannis | Within the Open Hand Temple, Sister Yannis is having a conversation with Investigator [[Valeria]] (X:-44, Y:-6). They are discussing the recent murder of [[Father Lorgan]], which Valeria is investigating. Valeria states that the case is closed, implicating a refugee, [[Brilgor]], as the culprit. Unsatisfied by this conclusion and feeling that the investigation is shoddy, Yannis asks the party if they are willing to investigate. Choosing "If you think the Investigator did a shoddy job, I can look into the murder for you." or "Let me help you - I'll look around, see if there's anything to prove Brilgor innocent." has the party agreeing to investigate the case. She gives the party free reign to investigate any area of the temple, should they agree. Gale also gains an inspiration point (Assistant to the Extra-Planar Agent) if he is in the party. | ||
