Ryu waits for John to climb down and then he whispers to Sakura _{"Just try to keep them out of the room."}

Sakura nods to Ryu.
"I am sure you already know that we are in a special service to your Lord. As such, I am ordering you to not go closer to the Daisho room at all. The penance for doing that will not be low." She says to the servants

Group The servants bow to you before continuing on with whatever job they have in the castle.

Group Anyone with a perception above 15 notices that the last servant in line seems to linger a second longer than the other two and gives you and eye (as in follow me I have some info, not mad dogging you.)

Actions

John turned at gave Sakura a similar look, "I am not so good at talking with people. If you care to I can be better suited for overwatch." He indicated the one who seemed to be signaling in such a way as to make it look like he was fishing around in his side bag.

Ryu didn't even noticed the others got behind him to talk or say Sakura anything, walking straight to the original room.

Sakura nods to John and follows the last servant. Once she feels the others won't notice, she grabs the last servant's arm and pulls it, smiling. "Is there something you want to tell me?"

OOC
21:23, Today: Bayushi Sakura rolled 19 using 1d20+10.  Diplomacy.

Shosuro Akira silently walks behind Sakura but keeping his distance... just in case she needs some help

Ryu You head into Hanashi's room and wait for the others to join you.

Sakura, John and Akira The servant looks each of you in the eye in turn.  He does not seemed to show the respect of the other servants.  "I know that you are looking into the disappearance of the Daisho.  No one seems to care about us servants but I have information that might be of help.  Many of the servants are afraid to enter the deepest parts of the castle foundations, there have been tales of unexplained disappearances.  We have tried to report them but so far it has fallen on deaf ears.  Perhaps in your investigations you could help solve this mystery?"

Acions

Akira doesn't like this servant. "Well... if we have some time, we will consider it. But do you have any idea about what is happening?"

He asks just in case. The dissapearance of servants is old news anyway.

John leaned in and looked over the servant. "I'm not from around here so I don't know how much my word means but I can promise I will keep my eyes and ears open for anything about or of your fellows."

21:22, Today: John Smythe rolled 17 using 1d20+7.  perception.

21:22, Today: John Smythe rolled 10 using 1d20+7.  Heal check to review their general health

Sakura rolls her eyes at Akira's words. It is obvious why they let the speaking to her. "As my friend here said, we knew it. Now... what is it about a Daisho dissapearing?" She looks straight to the servant's eyes.


OOC:
16:52, Today: Bayushi Sakura rolled 14 using 1d20+10.  Intimidate.

"We have arrived". Ryu announces and turns to see that noone has been following him.

Sakura The man stares right back into your eyes. "I know nothing about the disappearance of the Daisho, but two of my friends were getting ready for their nightly drinking when they heard a noise and looked out.  They swear that they saw a ninja.  If you wish I can take you to them."

Actions

"Errr... guys?" Ryu scratches his head and looks around.

Akira looks at Sakura. This man indeed knows something about the dissapearance of the Daisho. He knows it happened. And that means that he must be silenced. "John, please search for Ryu. Tell him that we need him here."

John inclined his head and set off to find Ryu. He was still getting the hang of how things are done but he was quick to respond. He didn't have a message spell but he did call out in a tone that wasnt dire, "Ryu sir? You about?"

Sakura notices something. The ausence of fear. And that worries her.

"You know what? I am interested. We will wait for my friend to return and then we will meet yours." She nods to the servant and then to Akira before continuing speaking. "What is your name and what do you do here in the castle?"

Ryu was turning his head at either side when he hears John. "I am here." He calmly says and follows the voice to reunite with his friends.

Sakura My name is Soe, I'm a general laborer. I fix what is broken.

Ryu and John You are able to find eachother without difficulty.

Actions

Ryu chuckles when he sees John. "Where have you all gone?" He follows John to where the others are, keeping silence when he sees the scene before him.
