"Symon was a hero to Darkgate before anyone else" Dirk smirks back "Had a statue"

Lucia blinks "Statue?"

She grins at the back and forth between Symon and Dirk.

Symon suddenly looks sullen. "Is that still there?"

"Of course it is. That's a treasured relic."

Siv giggles "The Symonposium"

A sour expression. "Isn't it time you got back?"

Sympathetic wince.

The corner of his mouth twitches a bit, though.

Rikki is taking notes.

"$50 bucks or a limited boon to the first po- first person to bring me that statue or proof of it's demise."

Rikki DEFINNITELY marks down notes

"$100 for anybody who rats out the person who takes that commission from Symon."

"Are you trying to gget me turned into a belt?" Eden huffs

Rikki AGAINN takes notes

A wink to Symon.

And at THAT he does laugh aloud, or a silent rattle-huff, at least.

Lucia laughs, her wings fluttering

Piper laughs! "Now Rikki will make $150 by doing the deed and turning herself in. I KNOW her!"

Snerk!

"She can use it to pay for putting the statue back."

Rikki makes a face at Piper "narc"

"Seriously though... I'm not going to go LIVE there or anything, but there's TONS of us here. Why not have us help if you're busy?"

"You come running if we need help... seriously, can't we get a chance to do the same?"

Lucia nods "And since you asked... I'm doing an okay job as an ambassador to Caer Falken I think, but not so often I can't help you."

"A bridge is made up of more than one brick." Piper grins poetically. "And even if there are trolls underneath, there are goats on top, too!"

"I...I didn't want to impose. But if you're serious...I might call on you!" She looks relieved.

"Ha. Goats."

Siv grins

Jonas blushes furiously

Sylvi looks at Jonas's blush and ...she can't help it...she starts to giggle.

Basil says "hey, I know Zane would be happy to help. Maybe me too nnow and then. "

"That was a metaphor! Geez, I can't take you two anywhere." Fondly. Then with a wicked grin, "And I never met a' phore I didn't like!"

She rolls her eyes at Piper. Then she nods at Basil. "Yeah, so...okay, that leads us to finding Zane. Any leads?"

"So how much are Phores charging these days?" RIkki grins at Piper then pats her shoulder to let her know she's teasing

"Not as much as tens." A wink back to Rikki, before turning to listen to Sylvi.

"no idea, he left his phone behind thouh so he's trying to avoid calls or being tracked" Basil observes "He didn't take a car or vehicle that he owns, least none are missing"

"Wait... what? Oh!" PURPLE.

"Anyone able to tattle tale cantrip?" Jordan asks "That's the one where you do the mirror mirror on the wal lstuff right?"

"Not me." Sylvi looks around the group.

Dag shakes her head.

Symon looks thoughtful, but shakes his head. "Gerd... if she knew something he had with him, maybe?"

Gerd ponders "I could give... tthe pillar bracelet.. that thing remember? We all got tokens?"

"Yeah... can you use one of the other ones as a focus?"

"Should be albe to.. I've been practicing" Gerd nods

Symon looks a bit embarrassed to show that he DOES have the matching bracelet - practically an arm band on him - on him.

"Oh! Yes, that's good!"

Dirk blinnks "you said you didn' even like that thing"

Siv looks touched "Oh my dad would be so pleased to knnow you had it on you"
