Heris 28 (Godsday) (continued): Eri Snow, Fern the Siegemaster, Kyrie Kelevan, and Minigallith Atakares were with Lieutenant Feyannyha Lacourbeshay of the Trynser City Municipal Force who was also a Sister of Surrea.  Miss Mini said that foa a hour or more she could keep track of the location of the lead of six apparently noble riders who had rode through the street, injuring people as they sped through.  Fern doubted they could keep up with a rider on horseback, but Mini said horses had to stop and eat frequently, but they could keep going.
Corporal Akira Kinpatsu of the TCMF returned, and said the riders had gone over the bridge to Embassy Quarter.  Akira had been unable to get their identification from bridge guards.  Mini said she was magically tracking the lead rider who was in Central Ward.  Feyannyha told Akira, "Go with them to the headquarters, get Corvira to take them in the Black Maria. I'll discuss with the Captain."  Fern said that trampling people with a horse wasn't too far from grabbing a crossbow and shooting randomly at people.  Feyannyha reminded the group that nobles operated on a different level than other people.  But she also said it might be enough to identify them and then bring up their behavior to someone who could deal with them effectively.  She said, "For starters, find out who it is, what families they're from. Where they stay."
Feyannyha also said to keep track of expenses; if the TCMF wouldn't help with that, Feyannyha would.
The group discussed the best way to get across, and decided to use the bridge.  The group thought about bringing a cooperative noble along in case they were otherwise restricted; Princess Alarra Gormann of Bortania was rejected as a possibility; the group decided to approach Baroness Lyndara Xlayde who, like Fern and Princess Alarra, was a student and resident of St. Bassard's School and Home for Disadvantaged Youth (Miss Mini was an assistant teacher there).  The group went to the girls' dorm at school.
After explaining the situation to Professor Katerina Smartcat, they went to talk to the baroness.  Fern believe they should make a plan, and choose someone based on their usefulness, while Mini said they could talk to the TCMF officers when they got back.  Kyrie suggested they observe their targets, then come up with a plan.
They got to the six floor where Lyndara stayed, and there (right after Fern mentioned her name) learned that Rajzhela Carnelian was with them.  Mini thought that was good because it would mean having six people.
Miss Mini explained things privately after Lyndara wanted to use the washroom as a cover for private discussion about St. Bassard's After-Class Exercise Club.  Miss Mini caught Fern listening at the door with Rajzhela close by; Mini said they shouldn't be listening to a private teacher-student conversation, but she would give them a warning this time.  The two said they were going to the library, but Rajz actually came back to listen again (with Fern behind her).  Miss Mini caught Rajz, and said this time she was on report.
Rajzhela suggested they not all travel together as that could be suspicious at and near the school as they didn't all socialize with each other; the others agreed to the plan.  Rajzhela, Fern, Eri, and Kyrie went in one group while Baroness Lyndara and Miss Mini went separate from the others.
Rejoined (except for Baroness Lyndara), the group spoke to Blackeye Snarkin, deputy constable for Delctra's Cauldron Borough.  He saw and recognized Rajzhela.  The group then spoke with Constable Thuddeus Gunch.  Gunch said, "Feyannyha is right. The TCMF over there will be useless, most likely. Let me know who is responsible. I will see it taken care of."  Gunch said he would give them an expense sheet to hand to the guards.  He said if the group wanted to bring one of the local TCMF officers, to go ahead.  The group went across the street to the TCMF.
At the TCMF, they heard Feyannyha in a heated discussion with Captain Hugo Ratcherd which included the captain saying, "Do you realize what these people own in this part of town? Everything! And you want to go and piss them off?"  Meanwhile, Corporal Corvira Levlor greeted Fern.
Feyannyha quietly asked the group if they wanted Akira or Covira to go with them; the group wasn't sure, but due to Fern's asking about abilities decided to go with the investigative Corvira rather than the combat-trained Akira.  Feyannyha told Corvira she was "going in reserve;" a clandestine way to get her to help the group off the record of the disagreeing captain.  Mini continued to say that things worked better in Millisymph (to which she had never been).  The group headed toward Central Ward, and met Baroness Lyndara.
The group commissioned a coach to be more fitting with as escorts of the baroness.  They got to the bridge, where Lyndara said they were preceding to Central Ward.  A guard said, "Very well. When you proceed, you need to go around the Imperial Mall. Turn left at the Grand Imperial March."
Out of earshot of the carriage driver, Mini asked the corporal what they could legally do about the nobles, and also tracked the rider who was close.  Fern again said they should have planned ahead of time.  Mini and Fern then saw the rider, who was with another rider who had "stampeded" down the street earlier.  (Citadel's Shadow II adventure 2020 01 25)
