A bit of unfinished business before we move on: When Vasili enters the Gate House Turret he finds 12 men, all human, unconscious. The temperature in the turret is even colder than outside and takes your breath away for a moment but it appears to very slowly be equalizing with the outside air. The men appear otherwise unharmed but the two ballista and the 16 siege crossbows all appear damaged and inoperable.

Who takes charge of the situation? Pratt?

I spot around for some evidence. Random.org me a 11 + 6 = 17 total. I also do a search Random.org 17 + 6 = 24.
I also call for assistance of the clerics...

If Uleric is still on the roof and can hear the call from the gate, he heads over that way

The situation remains very chaotic. The shrine is heavily damaged and the first order is to move everyone away from the facade. A male ice gnome who appears injured is giving most of the orders. The man in the blue cloak and the cleric of Han-Sui speak with each other until hearing Vasili call for aid. Then they step through a dimension door to the top of the wall.
Vasili finds the door from the outside, where he entered has it's lock broken. It looks like it was frozen and shattered. The two men arrive and the cleric begins checking the men.
"They will live. They need blankets and food more than anything" he says.
-
Does Rob see anyone that is in a position of authority to give orders to the constables?
-
Your sergeant starts to take command
-
I re-activate skate and go to collect blankets, and food from the constable guard post. Moving at 220

The turret is part of the city gate which has a garrison and all the provisions you need.

Ok, I start getting blanks for the men. I don't know how to cook so unless there are some MRE's they'll have to feed themselves....

After about ten minutes the situation seems more under control. The blue robed man departs. The Watch Commander, Borden is his name, arrives and relieves your sergeant. The ice gnome you learn is Rasimin, the high cleric of the shrine. All of you who are uninjured are assigned to control the rapidly forming crowd.
-
rabid or rapid?
-
After an hour in the cold and dark everything seems under control. You are dismissed for the night. What is on your agenda for the next day?
-
We still have unfinished leads to find Falce, correct? If so, then that is what we will do.
-
The following morning the Watch Commander speaks to all of the constables on duty. He informs you that at least until at least until the day after Frostine's feast day, the first day of Costus all deputies will be assigned to patrol. Deputies are expected to arm themselves with a hammer or mace unless unable to use one. You are also encouraged to bring an extra flask of oil. As it will be dark almost around the clock each squad will also have two torches lit at all times.

I ask if anyone knows if the Chosen can be choked unconscious. I have asked before, but I am nervous about the situation and want to make sure.
-
"I have a vague memory of fighting a Chosen before...they bleed like anyone else, but I seem to recall something odd about the way they breathed...through their skin maybe? No, that's not right...they breath normally, but eat through their skin...wait, that doesn't seem right either....I feel like I should know this..." Bryvis trails off mumbling to himself and looking genuinely confused.
"Regardless, I've been meaning to ask you Rob if you would want to be magically enhanced if we got into another fight. I have a spell that can make you as big as an ogre, might be useful to you considering your fighting style."
-
During my off time, I use skate, and patrol the northern wall, and dump, looking for Chosen.
I also get some information on Chosen to see if they can hide especially well, or normal guerrilla tactics.
-
The chosen can be knocked unconscious and they are not noted for their talents at hiding but with the snow and the dark who knows.
Vasili finds no signs and on his third night gets chewed out by the sergeant for going out alone and off duty.

"I thank you for the offer. I general, I would say no, but if it were a dire situation I would allow you to do that."

Fine.. with my new found level.. and any unused power points, I visit those places clairvoyantly! More then one way to skin a seal...
