As a note, it is the end of the day, on June 11th, 1259. Also, I highlighted the quest relevant information for convenience.
During the conversation, Laura was paying no attention, letting her eyes wander around the room. Which means that she was the only one to notice the approaching middle-aged man dressed in the causal wear of the Coalition, a stone gray tunic and trousers or dress, with places for standard military-style medals and insignia and individual expression. This man bears a captain’s insignia on his shoulder and a clay brick orange sash. Cleanly inserting himself into the group, he speaks up.
“I’m afraid I’m going to have to break up this conversation for the time being. I take it that you three,” gesturing at Guy, Godkissed and Gartens ((I just realized they all start with G. Minor mind explosion.)), “are the new recruits, correct?” He turns to Valentis. “Please excuse us, miss. Church Coalition business. Officers, please follow me into my office.”
Once inside, he strides over to a wall covered in two maps, one of the city and the other of the local area, with multiple pins and notes tacked and lines drawn on it.
“I am Captain Rodrick Trewal, a Paladin of Urbanas. As you might guess, I supervise the Church Coalition’s operations in this neck of the woods. I’ve already read your files, so introductions can wait. I have your first assignment. If I had the choice, I would rather not give you this as soon as you arrived, but I don’t. Have you heard the stories of the Gut Mugger? Firstly, they’re true, and secondly, they struck again, within the last half hour.” The orange light of the setting sun plays across his grimacing face, doing him no favors in the age department. But slowly, a smile spreads across his face.
“But he made a mistake! He made a mistake! Some of the citizens saw someone leave that alley. I want you three to check out the crime scene, interview the citizens and get the body back here without too many people seeing. You are dismissed.”
(Since Weirdsound has been inactive/delinquent,) Godkissed volunteers to interview the citizens if the others want to investigate the crime scene.
