"I admit, I don't know much about the place," Daos says. "What is it like?"

Daos:
"It sounds like a fun place. Chock full of artists, musicians, actors..." Meine says. "Heck, the most famous musicians are basically nobles. Oh, yeah, and everybody in the country gets to pick their rulers. Then they spend all their energy insulting them." She shrugs. "Seems like choosers can't be complainers to me, but that's the way it goes in Music."
Caelynn:
"He's a guild associate living in the city," Aaron explains. "He often visits our headquarters in Music to help with negotiations and whatnot. Keeps business in town running smoothly."

"A nation that chooses their own leaders does sound rather interesting," Daos admits. "I'd like to see how that works out."

"I see," Caelynn days. "Well, let me go speak to my friends, and I will get back to you about the orphanage situation." With that said, she says her goodbyes, and heads back to report to Daos and the others.

Shortly, Caelynn returns to the inn, and the party gathers to hear her report.
"So? What did you find?" Valerie asks.

"Nothing of Marcus, but I did find a man named Aaron Stone that would like a group of people to look into the local orphanage," Caelynn says. "I happened to grow up there, so I knkw what is going on to a detain extent."

"'Look into' the local orphanage?" Daos asks. "Why, is there something wrong with it?"

"The owner, Simon," Caelynn says with a bit of a scowl, "When he took over after Granny Alice died, he turned it into his little mini crime ring," she says.

"Then, our job is to expose and arrest this man?" Daos asks.

"But, I'm not sure who would take care of the children after he is exposed," Caelynn says.

"I can't imagine it's someone worse than a criminal," Daos observes.

"You might be surprised," Caelynn says. "It was my experience that not too many people cared about a bunch of orphan kids," she explains with a sigh. "But if you are wanting more details, I can lead you all back to Stone."

"To be honest, I'm surprised in a place like this that anyone cares enough to even have an orphanage in the first place," Daos remarks. "Regardless, did you have some plan on how to deal with this Simon? The direct approach, or is more subtlety called for?"

"Granny Alice was one of the few nicer people within the city before she passed," Caelynn explains. "I would say to sick the law on him, but he hasn't technically done anything illegal as far as I know. The orphans are too afraid of him to tell on him. Though, if we can get evidence of crimes of his, then maybe we can get the law involved afterwards."
