You politely refuse the "quest" the priestess offered.
>"Sorry, that's not the type of work we're looking for"

You approach the statue of Edis to pray for a sign on how your quest should proceed. You quickly notice the statue hasn't been treated with proper respect!

>"Hey! Is that a cobweb on Lord Edis' statue!?"
"Huh!? Umm I don't think it was there last week..."
>"And dirt on the corner of his shield!? Clean this mess immediately! Lazy woman!"
"Okay Okay! Fine. I'm doing it"

>You gain 100 XP
>You now have 6375

As usual Edis doesn't send any sign of communication other than a small sense of wellness indicating he's happy with your actions.

You decide to make sure the priests and priestesses haven't let any other statues be neglected.

Aldir looks a lot cleaner than Edis. But everyone knows the fire god's brazier should never be allowed to go out. This brazier isn't even warm to the touch. Unacceptable.

You run a full inspection in search of more neglect.

Duzdite - the floor behind this statue hasn't been swept
Edis - has a cobweb
Ulzotz - chipped in several places
Aldir - brazier not alight
Uxanke - holding a dusty portrait
Piona - the head of her shovel has broken off
Xohtuna - has a stain on her leg
Pyraura - doesn't smell like alcohol
Manotz - smells like alcohol
Urdum - covered in mold, but since he's a god of nature you let this one slide
Wedione - harp is missing
Epohr - has a smile painted on his face
Zieyr - not washed behind the antlers
Bosnir - empty bottle hidden behind statue
Itnus - perfectly clean
Fovlous - axe not sharpened
Ciqrena - orb not polished
Titrix - has a blood stain
Ucaris - missing toe

Oh that took a lot longer than I thought, apologies

Salaman: "Don't worry about it Christof they're just statues"
Ulric: "I hope none of the clergy get smote"

You soon arrive at the Oakheart garrison.

"That's good, the mercenaries have been assaulting people at night, and taking them away after they're uh 'immobilized'. We need to find out where they are coming from and wipe them out. If you can locate their base we will give you a sum of Talons as a reward"

This is probably a good idea.
Especially if a skilled team of adventurers are at the ready.

I'm thinking we set some prime bait based on their abducting habits and set a trap.

>"How do you know they're mercenaries?"
"The mercs came into town around 2 months ago they moved on pretty quick since there's not much work for their kind here. When the kidnappings started we eventually identified them as the same mercenaries"

>"What are they doing with the people they abduct? Have any of them been found or returned?”
"No clue, might be working for slavers since they're taking people alive"

>“Do you know anything about their numbers, weapons, or a general idea of where I should search?”
"Just six of them, they normally invade in a group of 3 or 4. They've all got iron arms and armour, their leader has an enchanted axe. My coworker Robinet can sense magic and he said one of them was a spell caster, she was wearing regular iron armour and had a weapon like the rest of them though. They invade from the eastern forest but Oakheart is a pretty big place when you're trying to find 4 invisible people in the middle of the night"

>"Two of us can use the Alarm spell, it could help catch the invaders as they come in even if they're invisible"
"That would be extremely helpful, we already know what direction they come from scattering some alarms around will really give us an edge"

>"Is there any pattern to the kidnapping victims?"
"They will take anyone they can find, they'll break into poorly secured buildings if they can't find anyone on the streets. We think they deliberately ignore children even though they're much easier to kidnap and more valueable as slaves"

>"How about I help you capture one of them so you can use interrogation?"
"That's what we've been trying to do, but they act fast and flee at the first sign of risk"

"Alright, I think the captain will be happy to accept your help, meet us here at sun down. You make your preparations while we draw up some plans with your alarm spell."

This.

>there's always Ulric
My first thought was to cover Ulric up with some peasant wrappings to hide his armor and make him resemble an older peasant, obtain a cart, and have him loiter in the streets with the cart, perhaps pretending to fix the wheel, while Alina is poised in a nearby rooftop or similar vantage point, Salaman is another such spot as well, and Christof and a cluster of summoned help hide in the cart, ready to pounce on the would-be kid-nappers.
Surprise melee with Alina providing ranged support and Salaman casting additional summons or such.

Sounds good, the guard can have the town on a curfew tonight so our bait is more appealing. We should have a way to signal any nearby guards to our location if we do find them.

You decide to explore the eastern side of town, here lies a merchant district and beyond that a residential area on the edge of Oakheart, most of the abductions occur here. You spend some time familiarizing yourself with the area.

This has been the 20th session of Seeker Quest. A few days ago the suptg archive score for the first thread increased to 11 giving the quest an "excellent thread" rating which made me ecstatic. 10 threads ago the rating was 6 and we just finished the Bandit Camp.
I intend to continue the quest for the forseeable future, I have lots of ideas. If you have any feedback, critique, suggestions etc now would be a good time. A few qtgs ago someone mentioned the combat system was weak which is why I changed it to enable more options.
Thanks for all the support.
See ya next time.

Wish I could give more critique but imo you know what you're doing Dolomite.

>>2229694
Read the past threads in the archive. Pastebin is nice. Early on when Christof leveled up, you said allies would as well. Alina got 20 points but no more lvls for the rest?

Alina has an intelligence score of 6 so she started with 80 skill points (50+INT*5) and gains 22 skill points every level.
Early on the mechanics were not well established and Alina unnaturally gained a few extra skill points in Ranged and Abjuration thanks to Christof's instruction.

iir Alina's character sheet only appeared once in thread #13 pic related.
Through dialogue with her all her skill points ended up been distributed to Ranged and Abjuration, both skills have a very low base value.

She is now level 3 and has a feat. Although her character sheet hasn't been posted since she last leveled up.

>>2233145
Ok so no more skill points for followers? Just making sure. Don't want ulric or salaman to miss out.

>>2233147
Yeah I've been leveling Ulric and Salaman automatically. And if Alina is in a situation where she needs to use Ranged or Abjuration i'll just spend her skill points/feat based on the last recommendations Christof made to her.
