computer is back up; hopefully fixed and running smoothly. I'm quite tired tonight but I hope that (post & PMs) will get us started underway. More to come soon and at a more rapid pace. Again I apologize and to those still here thanks for sticking it out; lets hunt some orc. Er...mysterious psychic murderous whatevers.

Adam looked at Aleksandra and gave a quick approving nod.
“That is a very valid question. It is not known that such was the case however I believe the society would be in a better position to judge such matters for certain. I think the right questions need merely be asked. I will make sure you have money for bribes, rounds of drinks, whatever you think might loosen tongues to provide you with the answers you seek. I will also provide transportation for yourself, and whoever else might join you, almost to the edge of the district but after that I think it best you make you begin your research unobtrusively. I don't know what is behind the disappearnces but It likely will not appreciate you trying to find It out.”
He pushed his chair back and rose easily.
“The files are yours to work with. Anything else any of you will need for this please see my valet Ren and if it is procurable he will procure it. I have a few details I need to arrange before we depart. There were others I had hoped would join us, they may as yet do so.”
He pulled a fine leather pouch from a pocket and laid it on the table. Inside were a collection of thin ordinary looking but fairly blunt sewing needles.
“All of you take one of these needles and fix it in your clothing near your wrist. They are touched with a whisper of psychic energy; something an ordinary person will not have access to. All who work investigations for the society wear such trinkets so that you may know them.”
It was a unique charm, one of the members had devised it for this sort of work. Her Talent was similar to automatic writing save that she used sewing rather than writing. These were the needles she used to enhance her talent but it also worked as a notice to others. Needles were common enough, no one would steal them as they might a coin or some other baubble, and anyone who simply focused their Talent could sense that there was something special about the needles, though not necessarily what. Adam had devised this solution when an earlier case was very nearly destroyed by a simple message assumed to be from him. Now anyone involved in any of the investigations wore one of these as long as they were working.
His carriage would arrive soon to pick Adriana and himself up for their visit. He would need to change and look a lot more debonair and formal. He didn't mind that part but his dread at visiting Lady Isabau was palpable.
NOTES FOR REFERENCE:
Group A--Visit Lady Isabau. Adam, Adriana
Group B--Rabid Bear in the Woods. Johanna
Group C--Missing Men. Aleksandra

Brisa blinked confused at the boar-man.
“No I” She shook her head. “I can't help” she said softly. She didn't just mean the boar man but the others either. She couldn't fight. She couldn't even figure out how to be useful; and she knew she would be in the way, tripping her friends more likely than not.
Useless. Completely useless.
Those words chased through her mind as she watch Argurios and Aiden move to join Jatan in the fight. There were frog-men everywhere. Coming out of the background like a plague of locusts. Only way worse. And here she was staring at them like an idiot.
That shook her a little. She hated being an idiot.
focus
She had to focus. That was the first thing. She didn't have much to work with; rocks, mud, rain, a sharp stick...she couldn't figure out how any of those would be particularly useful at the moment. Her eyes fell on the cape lying on the ground, thrown there by the boar man when he rushed to the fallen girl.
It was a dumb plan, but it was better than nothing. A desperate plan.
“I need to borrow this” she called over her shoulder as she scooped it up. “Take something from our supplies to make us even” she said. Her words were almost lost as she was running now. She didn't think about the fact she had just given a stranger free reign to rummage through their belongings and take...well...everything...if he so desired. She had only one focus now and didn't slow as she approached the knot of fighting that was her friends and the group of frog-men. Later, if she lived, she would ponder the presence of so many bipedal animal beings. Frog men, boar men, what was next...deer men? Now though the key was survive.
She piled into the fray, cape in front of her, and simply jumped like a squirrel on the back of the nearest frog-creature throwing the cape over it's head and hanging on. Her head close to its she gave the same ear-splitting whistle she had earlier, hoping that being so close to it the sound would confuse it even more.

technology and I don't get along well. Successful interaction usually involves much foul language on my part and much stubbornness on the part of the tech.

Adam smiled at Adriana.
“Your skills Lady Adriana? No. I think not. Your company however is always welcome. I would suggest that within Lady Isabau's home you be quite subtle about your actions. The particulars I will, of course, leave to you. I expect to leave at half past the noon hour if that is agreeable.”
He then nodded at Johanna.
“That sounds most excellent. I had hoped you would consider it. I will provide transportation to the edge of the city where a guide will meet you and you will need to proceed on foot. I trust you will outfit yourself with whatever you need for such a journey, the storehouses are at your disposal. I would also suggest you prepare in case things go awry. It is my sincere hope that they won't, but I am a firm believer in an overabundance of preparedness.”
He looked about to go on when Roger appeared in the doorway looking slightly worse for the wear. Nevertheless Adam was inwardly pleased to see him. The man's skills would allow him to excel at whatever he chose to do; and he hoped this time he would choose to help the society's investigations.
“Monsieur Martin” he said with a welcoming tone. “I had just about given up on you. I see your hunt was successful, that bodes well.” He didn't explain that statement, just gestured at the laden table. “Help yourself and I shall endeavor to catch you up on what you have missed.”
He took a few moments to briefly outline the problems, but he kept it short. He trusted Roger could read the files to find out whatever else he needed to know if he decided to go with it. But before he could get an answer from Roger another interruption happened upon them as Aleksandra Volkov almost literally stumbled into the dining room.
Adam watched the her steadily for a moment; his mismatched eyes unblinking as he gauged her. She had been at study again which was not uncommon. He guessed without food or water for a bit, also not an uncommon habit for her. What bothered him was that he had forgotten about her when he was weighing options for the issues now on the table. Her skill with weapons would certainly come in handy; she was also incredibly tenacious. Something that would likely be useful.
“I hadn't thought of you” he said muttering to himself then raised his voice. “Come in Ms. Volkov” he said, speaking also in English for her benefit. He was glad he had bothered to learn a plethora of languages; it seemed the society was picking up members from across the world. One day maybe they would even have an American.
“I believe your skills could be quite useful in the situations we are discussing; won't you join us? I will run over the cases at hand while you replenish yourself. These are issues that have come to my attention as potential situations best handled by the Society; perhaps you might consent to aid us in investigating one of them.”
Adam then proceeded to give the condensed version again; thankful he had the foresight to actually generate proper folders of the details for the others to look over at leisure. He hoped to leave to have all of them underway by half past noon but if they kept trickling in like this it might be problematic. He began to reformulate his plans in his mind as he talked.
