Heris 39 (Landsday) (continued): While Kyrie Kelevan cast Damira's Guiding LIght (Seeker) in the interrogation room at the main police station of Trynser City Municipal Force, others at the station discussed the missing Jinxi.  The dead body dressed as Jinxi had been discovered to be someone else, a male with the mark of The Burned Claw.
TCMF Lieutenant Feyannyha Lacourbeshay, also a Sister of Surrea, said, "Do you have any idea why a Burned Claw would be wearing Jinxi's clothes?" Juan Silvio-Vagle said, "I wasn't familiar with The Burned Claw until it was explained to me, so no."  Feyannyha said, "As they're hired as assassins, maybe Jinxi had some enemies?"  Juan said it was possible, while Audrea Daleos said, "Yeah... doing what Jinxi did, they certainly pissed some people off. I remember some Lord Porkypig or something being mad at them."  Eri Snow said, "And then the Lords of Green Things," then Kyrie Kelevan said, "Lords of the Green."
Based on Kyrie's spell, the group believed Jinxi was on the road to Delternas, a large city to the northwest along the coast.  They discussed getting there by spell or carriage.  Feyannyha said, "The Gipiton family has regular carriage service to Delternas. They're right down in Weaver's Warren."  Fern knew the carriage started at Weaver's Road by the Sarkas River, and the group headed there.
Kyrie said, "Are we all able to go rushing off to Delternas? I have some leeway, and I think Audrea as well, but you and Eri have jobs, and Fern's a student!"  As Delternas was about 60 miles away, the group sent messages to the appropriate people.
There were three passengers on the carriage or stagecoach already.  Otto Mordh'Dhagai was one of the three.  One of the others looked suspicious; Fern later thought he was pretending to sleep while actually listening.  Before the group left, a male fox-person named Ranthe Daviesse boarded.  Ranthe said he was a plumber and carpenter.  Ranthe had a livid scar over his right eye.
Fern asked about the scar.  Ranthe said, "Hah, That was a plumbing accident in my apprenticeship. I tried to unhook a pipe that was pressurized and it flew right off and hit me in the head. That was a dumb mistake I never made again."  Ranthe then explained things in detail.  Otto offered some pecans, which some accepted but Juan politely declined.
Jinxi was mentioned, which Ranthe asked about; Fern said, ""Well, to keep it short, they are a fool of indeterminate gender."
The stagecoach had stops to get fresh horses, including a stop about midnight in Karlack.  Fern and Eri discusssed Ranthe; Fern said it was possible they could become friends if it were possible to see each other regularly.  Kyrie talked with Audrea.
The stagecoach resumed its trip, a crossbowman, apparently a guard weasring the Gipiton company livery, on the back.  At various times during the trip, the passengers slept.  (Citadel's Shadow II adventure 20200607)
Heris 40 (Hammering): The Gipiton family stagecoach containing Audrea Daleos, Eri Snow, Fern the Siegemaster, Juan Silvio-Vagle, Kyrie Kelevan, Otto Mordh'Dhagai, Ranthe Daviesse, and others  reached Delternas at about 08:00.  Otto, Ranthe, and the others went their separate ways.
The group felt the cooling breeze from the sea.  Kyrie said, "Jinxi's close! This way, over the bridge!"  The group found and greeting Jinxi.  But then a large dart thudded into Jinxi's chest!  (Citadel's Shadow II adventure 20200607)
