Oreni
He realizes that to not interview would cause additional rumors etc.  He would interview with papers like the wall street journal, possibly the new york times.  He will be personable and polite but keep everything as vague as possible.  While he wishes to earn the respect of important townspeople, he does not wish to become a common gossip topic.  He will not lie directly but he may claim to not remember details as things "happened so fast" etc  He definiltely would leave out anything about the knights of the pale, dragons, litch's etc.  When scoffney blabs about all of that he will attempt to avoid confirming anything.  "it was dark" and "things happened so fast"  will be a lot of the answers.
Oreni would not show the commisar anything.  He would merly offer a non detailed explanation of the fight that the party "stumbled into".
Oreni might keep the necklace from the mother of the child if he can use it otherwise someone else can have it.
Oreni would remain vague and polite with all of the parents of the children except for the one who gave the neclace.  He might have given her more of an explanation of what happened since she is clearly a "good person and she might be of help in the future.
Naerai:  Naerai is a man of few words.  Naerai would avoid the press and if he had to respond with one or few word answers.  He would probably suggest that the press speak to the other members of the party instead of him.  This is not out of nastiness but rather out of shyness.  The only time he steps into the spotlight is in battle.  When out of combat, he is he is shy do to his knowledge of how harrow elves are generally perceived by others. 
Naerai would  like to have that bell-- can it be charged with extra charges?

The rewards gained for the runebearer kids:
* Dullin Balacazar, human male, age 8. Delivered to 1 Outer Ring Row, Rivergate. Dullen is the grandson of Menon Balacazar, a "wealthy financier" who everyone knows is really the kingpin of city's most powerful organized crime family. He [[Dissolution News - 21st of Growth, 721|previously]] offered a 5,000gp bounty for the safe return of Dullen, which Dullen's mother paid immediately. She also asked lots of questions about the cults who took Dullen, and the ritual in which he was to be sacrificed.
* Darata Chornim, human female, age 6. Delivered to 6 Dawn Path, Nobles' Quarter. Darata lives only with her mother Tara in a fairly small house (for the Noble's Quarter) with an extremely well tended garden near the Holy Palace of the Church of Lothian (which is the home of what is sort of like the "pope" of the whole church). Tara clearly is strongly devoted to Lothian, and can cast divine magic (she cast bless on Oreni), but doesn't appear to be official associated with the church. She was nearly beside herself with joy when her daughter was returned, and took a holy symbol from her own neck to give to Oreni, forcing him to take it, insisting "the blessings of Lothian would watch over you". The symbol is an exquisitely made and detailed Lothian ankh, fashioned from platinum and a number of small, tasteful sapphires. Oreni detected magic in it and has since determined that once per day, a short prayer to Lothian will create a ''[http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells---final/resilient-sphere resilient sphere]'' around the location of the symbol at the time of casting. This sphere does not move once cast.
* Corrent Epathi, halfling male, age 10. Delivered to 3 Princes Street, Nobles' Quarter. Corrent is an orphan, cared for by a female human named Zellath Kory. Ms. Kory was not home when Corrent was returned, but her house staff was ecstatic. Corrent demanded that Oreni come see "his bird house", which turned out to be a small metalworking shop in the basement. In this shop, Corrent makes stunningly realistic statues of birds out of silver, most of them actual size. Clearly gifted with skill far beyond his years, he gave a rather stern looking (and somewhat fragile) owl to Oreni in thanks. Days later, an invitation to dine with Zellath Kory and Corrent at the start of the month arrived for Oreni at the Ertho estate.
* Tarthia Kor, human female, age 8. Tarthia, the runebearer who was killed, is the daughter of Lac and Brellyra Kor, who live at 5 Stout Street, Midtown. Lac is a metalworker and so a member of the Ironworker's Guild. Oreni didn't meet them until after Terthia had been resurrected. Of the four clerics in the city capable of casting ''[http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells---final/true-resurrection true resurrection]'', the Kor family preferred Maeda von Rustal, the High Priestess of the Temple of Teun, the Mother of All Machines. Once it became clear that the child came from a working class family, donations flooded the temple, with the temple itself donating a third of the cost of the spell (30,000gp total). Upon the return of his child, Kor provide each member of the group with a rose made from iron, forged by his own hand.

This is an ever changing page of stuff that the PCs (or players) need to decide or get done:

Experience

Each character receives 12,737xp for the chapter just completed. This puts everyone to 63,737xp which, unfortunately, is well short of the 71,000xp needed to reach next level. Previously, you were just passed the threshold for reaching your current level, so you still have a bit to go.

Loot

I went through the loot list and sold anything that you guys clearly wouldn't want, converting it mostly into gemstones. This includes the cash reward from the Balacazars, but I did not sell the other rewards. All told, the cashed in loot comes to around 45,000gp total. This materializes as the following for each member of the group:

  • 6 x 1,000gp emeralds
  • 3 x 500gp topaz

In addition, the stuff that was not sold needs to be divvied up. Here is the list [with who can actually make use of it]:

  • Rosegate house (~100,000gp)
  • Bell of Deep Slumber, 12 charges (10,000gp) [Naerai]
  • 5 x +2 holy arrows (5x646.05gp) [Lostwhite]
  • Longsword +2 human bane (18,315gp) [sold]
  • Shortsword +1 evil outsider bane (8,310gp) [sold]
  • +1 mithral breastplate (5,240gp) [Sikarsis]
  • Bag of holding type I (2,500gp) [Oreni]
  • Cloak of resistance +2 (4,000gp) [Caralaria]
  • Gloves of dexterity +2 (4,000gp) [Caralaria]
  • Lens of detection (3,500gp)
  • strand of prayer beads, lesser (9600gp) [Sikarsis]
  • sustaining spoon (5400gp) [sold]
  • Lothian holy symbol (see above) [Oreni]
  • Silver owl sculpture (see above, ~2,000gp)
  • 6 x iron roses (hard to price)
  • potion: gaseous form [Naeri]
  • potion: 2 x elixir of truth (2x500gp) [Oreni, Sikarsis]
  • potion: 2 x cure moderate wounds (2x300gp) [Naeri]
  • potion: 4 x cure serious wounds (4x750gp) [Lostwhite x2, Scoffney, Oreni]
  • potion: fly (750gp) [Scoffney]
  • potion: magic fang (50gp) [Caralaria]
  • potion: owl's wisdom (300gp) [Caralaria]
  • potion: 2 x antitoxin (2x50gp) [Sikarsis, Scoffney]
  • scroll: animate dead (375gp) [sold]
  • scroll: 3 x hold person (divine) (3x150gp) [Naerai x2, Sikarsis]
  • scroll: magic vestment (700gp) [Sikarsis]
  • scroll: sending (divine) (700gp) [Naerai]
  • scroll: teleport (1125gp) [Oreni]
  • wand: scorching ray (35 charges) (4500gp) [Naerai]

Naeri buys:

  • wand of silence (4500)
  • wand of cure serious (11,250)
  • 2 elemental gems (earth, air)

Cat Ears (and other custom items)

Hiring the Dreaming Apothecary to make you magic stuff works like this. Being good customers of Danbury's in Delver's Square, they provide you with a small bronze token and instruct you to sleep with it under your pillow. And then... we'll roleplay the rest.

For items created by the Dreaming Apothecary follow the rules for creating magic items. Note that all references to costs in these rules are the costs to the Dreaming Apothecary to actually make the thing. They sell these items for double that (i.e. the normal list price for the item).

The cat ears that allow seeing in the dark are similar to the goggles of night, except they occupy the headband slot instead of the eyes slot. Just like the goggles, the cost to Caralaria will be 12,000gp. Note that this is for an item that functions all the time. Costs can be reduced slightly for items that, for example, only activate a certain number of times per day, or use charges.

Rumors

More news and rumors will be coming, but for now, please re-read your own characters' pages on the main Dissolution page, particularly the contact and rumors sections. Some of these may be important going forward (dun-dun-DUN!), and you might actually want to touch base with some of these people for various reasons.
