To Dai:
"Yes, I am Dermot. I presume that you are Star Knight Apokylption?" he after he slides down his sleeve and reveals a Gatekeeper tatoo. Once he confirms her identity, he asks "So, what is it you would like to know?"

To Drew:
The badge has a roaring bear and wyverns on it, which you recognize as the seal of Breland. You can't determine more than that, but you can assume that he worked for the Brelish government. You also notice that there sewer grate nearby seems to be askew and slightly damaged.

To Scott:
You pick up pieces of their conversations. They are talking about a plan of some sorts, and you hear the names "Aurala," "Raccanoch," and "Lord Ruken," being tossed around a lot. You can't tell what they are talking about yet beyond that, but if you continue listening, you could determine more.

To Dave:
"Well, it looks like our Ogre Mage friend is laying low right now. That building he is in is a Daask protected Tavern, one of the few in the city. I don't think we can get to him right now, and we know for a fact that is not their lair."

Aiolos shrugs. "We can still keep an eye on his movements in the meantime. Any other matters you need me to deal with while I'm here and while we wait for more intel?"

Calen moves over to see if he can move the sewer grate (STR 14).

To Dave:
"Nothing else right now, I'll contact you when we figure out where he is going. But as for now, I have to go report to the Boss."

To Drew:
Calen is able to slide the sewer grate out of the way. You see handholds in the side of the tunnel forming a ladder of sorts, and a foul smell emits from the shaft.

"Hmm. Well, I probably shouldn't leave this noble fellows body out here in the open." On that though, Calen slides the sewer grate back into place, and goes to look for the proper authorities.

After some quick asking around, you find the local guard post. When you report the discovery of the body, they ask you to take you to the body post haste. Several of the city watch and an inquisitive follow you back to the body and the inquisitive begins to look around. The inquisitive gasps when he sees the badge on the corpse, "This is a Dark Lantern!" he says in surprise.

"A Dark Lantern," he says, "A member of Breland's internal security force." He pulls out a crystal lens and starts to look at the body as the watchmen that followed you there begin looking around nervously. "Dark Lanterns monitor what happens all over Breland, and sometimes outside it as well. Its not often one turns up dead."

"I see, do you commonly reveal Breland's secret organizations are to foreigners?" Calen said, jokingly.

"Also, when I found the body, that sewer grate nearby was askew, as thought someone had moved it. Though, I couldn't tell you how recent that was."

"I never said that they were secret. The crown denies they exist whenever they actively do anything, but everyone knows they are real." The inquisitive moves over to the sewer grate and examines it with the lens for a few moments. "It is as I thought," he says as he puts the lens away. "The victim was not killed here. He was it appears that whoever, or whatever, killed him dragged him out of the sewers and dumped the body here. The lack of blood and expression of terror suggest that he was killed with magic, but there are no traces of it left on him or in the area."

"All right." Aiolos leaves Castar's place, figuring he'll wander and get a feel for the pulse of the city.

"Yes, I am, you can just call me Reverie though. Thanks for coming so quickly. I guess if you're one of us I won't need to get too bothersome on some of the explanations. I'm here to investigate a particular case that our elders to the north have divined from the stars, an event believed to happen in the near future. The stars say that someone or something will try to consume the souls of Sharns inhabitants to gain power. Based on what I can gather from the papers, some mysterious unprovoked murders have already happened, and that the elder of the Sharn Gatekeepers have found certain correlations between them and some unnatural fluctuations with Mabar. What I would like to request is any information you or the Citadel may know about these murders, and if any usually extraplanar magic has been practiced within the city as of late.
Furthermore, if possible, I would like to link up with the Citadel for this investigation. If it is as serious as the star foretell, this could prove a dire threat to all of Sharn's inhabitants."

To Scott:
Your basic knowledge of such matters tells you that the most likely Aurala for them to be talking about is the Queen of Aundair and that Lord Ruken has something to do with the Brelish Government. As you continue to listen to the conversation, you pick up the words "within the next few days," "mission is a go," and "we must keep Raccanoch from finding out."
(Also, gimme a bluff check)

To Dave:
As great philosophers have said, "Sharn never sleeps." And while it is the middle of the day and that doesn't really apply, Sharn is rather busy as usual. People mill about, going about their business. Nothing seems out of the ordinary. Your wandering takes you from the highest levels of the city, where aristocrats and government officials mill about presumably doing important things, to the lower levels, filled with seedy entertainment locations. On your trip back upwards, you journey through a temple district and are passing by a Temple of the Silver Flame, when suddenly...a loud explosion emanates from inside the temple!

To Dai:
"The problem with tracing extraplanar magic in Sharn is that close to three quarters of all the magic you'll find in this city has something to do with flight and as such uses the energy of the Syrania manifest zone the city was built on. As for the murders, the only common things that we have found between all of them was that they weren't killed in the location they were found, and the victims were killed with magic that left no clues aside from the aura that there was magic cast. The bodies weren't harmed in any way. Its as if someone, or something, just sucked the life right out of them." Suddenly, he holds his hand up to his ear, as if listening to something, and his eyes widen in shock. "They just found another body, and this one could be a big problem. Follow me!" he said as he runs towards the closest edge of the tower. As he nears it, he whistles loudly and a moderately sized metal platform flies out of nowhere, which he jumps onto and motions for you to hop on.

Aiolos blinks and runs into the temple to help. (Possibly with quotes around help...)
