He does actually believe her because paladins are full of shit but not in the sense where they'll literally lie to you. He doesn't much care because it doesn't much matter except he'd have lied more if he had known he could get away with it.

Let's get going. Can they let him out or do they have to wait for the guy.

The guards figure that Bella and Seelah - presumably mostly Seelah - are allowed to be doing whatever they're doing even if it's letting out the thief. 

"All right boss, what's the plan?" (he asks Bella, not Seelah).

Looking for a back way in to the garrison, and/or for an elf called the Storyteller. - also to clarify I'm not a paladin, she is but we just met yesterday.

"You talk like a paladin. I won't hold it against you so long as you're not arresting me."

I am not and have never been a paladin, I just take using my mindreading powers responsibly really seriously.

Which is such a paladin kind of thing to do but he isn't going to piss off his new boss by saying so. "You got it, boss."

Any ideas where we should be going or who we should talk to?

"Irabeth might have some ideas, if she's returned to the world of the living."

"She was dead?"

"Happens to the best of us. Iomedae died several times during the Shining Crusade."

"Man, those would be some bragging rights."

"...dying in the Shining Crusade?"

"What? No! Killing Iomedae!"

Anyway, we should swing by wherever they'll be bringing Irabeth back to life and ask.

Irabeth looks only slightly the worse for the wear for having been ripped apart by demons. "Staunton - Staunton Vhane, over there in the corner - was leading the search for the Storyteller, he can update you on if they have any leads. I don't know of any secret way into the Garrison and there may not be one, the demons we encountered there were powerful enough it's plausible they just flew or Teleported. If there is a secret passage the people who'd know are the tiefling gangs that use the tunnels in that area for smuggling." She looks at Woljif. 

"Now, now, just because I'm a tiefling doesn't mean I know anything about tiefling smuggling rings."

"There's also money and supplies at my and Anevia's place, if you happen to be in that part of the city - it's just east of the northern bridge, where two streets meet at a diagonal."

Can I get a mental image - okay, and we can grab things there?

"You can grab things anywhere in the city for the defense of the city or for feeding and sheltering the survivors, just write it down so if we survive we can attempt restitution. But you can especially prioritize grabbing our things, there's a fair bit of gold and some scrolls Anevia knows how to use in there."

Okay. Uh, anyone have paper?

Irabeth does! Bella can have some paper.

Oh good. Bella puts columns on it for things taken and where from and pockets it. It is not Screaming Paper, she will have to find Screaming Paper on her own time.

Over to Staunton Vhane. "Staunton Vhane?"
