The priestess motions for one of the larger men to take Daniel's bag for him. To Daniel's satisfaction the slight sneer on the man's face quickly vanishes as he almost drops the bag on the ground before managing to regain his balance and heft it over one shoulder. "Humph, heavier than it looks." he mumbles before turning and leading the way towards the church.

"Thank you." The priestess responds before stepping in line with Daniel and following the retreating soldier. "My name is Sister Guineth the White, by the way." She says politely. "I don't really know much of what this is all about, but I do know it involves a couple of dead night guards. Awful, first the Horde raid yesterday and now this."

As the slight sneer disappears from the soldiers face , and shock slides over his face when the bag nearly hits the ground .

"Thank you." The priestess responds before stepping in line with Daniel and following the retreating soldier. "My name is Sister Guineth the White, by the way." She says politely. " I don't really know much of what this is all about, but I do know it involves a couple of dead night guards. Awful, first the Horde raid yesterday and now this."

Daniel slightly turns his head towards the priestess smiling , " Your welcome , Sister Guineth . by the way my name's Daniel Manson. Now you see why i prefer to carry my bag , shes bit heavy for her size . You say a couple dead night soldiers huh ? I do find this to be someone interesting . "

Daniel walks along side of Sister Guineth with a somewhat happy step to his walk . He begins to wonder why he seen " demon " walk around the side of the building and knowing now the two dead bodies are somewhere close . He takes a deep breath smelling the air for the unmistakable smell of death , in which he knows all to well.

" So Sister Guineth , when were the bodies discovered do you know ? and maybe possibly how long have they been dead ? " Daniel asks with an almost dead tone but serious underlying tone of suppressed curiosity.

"Nice to meet you Daniel." She responds in a reserved, but not unfriendly voice as they walk along the front of the church. "I just wish it were under better circumstances." Daniel can hear the sounds of more people up ahead as they approach the corner. The sun shines in their faces as they walk, as if trying to fight back the cold chill of death with its warm rays.

"As I've said, I really don't know anything more than what I told you. Maybe Brother Tobius can give you more information when you meet with him....assuming you're not the murderer." She says offhand as if just throwing that out there without thought or malice.

Daniel says in a happy tone , " Me , guilty naw ... I was else where last night . From the sounds of it , looks like theres a little gathering there . "

As they approch the area , the voices get louder and the smell of the dead bodies gets stronger in his nose .

As Daniel and his escort round the corner of the building, Daniel can see a group of milling soldiers and priests outside the door leading to the hallway outside Father Malaki's office. In the midst of the chaos Daniel can see Darl's head sticking up above all others. As he approaches, he catches glimpses through the legs of the crowd of two bodies laying on the ground outside the doorway.

Daniel kneels down and looks though the crowd and sees two dead bodies .
While kneeling down , " Well Sister , I see now why Tobius wants to see us . " Daniel stands back up and looks throught the crowd and sees Darl standing above the rest .

" Sister , I thinki we need to possibbly get moving .. I don't think this croud is gonna clear out any time soon . "

With that being said Daniel looks for away through the crowd while having the smell of the dead bodies in the air , and the mumble of people in the crowd .

"Sister Guineth, if you would." Sister Guineth says in response to Daniel's informal address. "And yes, I agree. Please follow me. I'm sure Brother Tobius will have more answers for you." She says indicating that everyone except Daniel and the guard carrying Daniel's pack can go about there business. As they pass Father Malaki's office Daniel can see a number of people standing just outside his open door, but he can't see into the room.
