Time: Late-Midday
The party heads up the road to Sunstar, with Flare looking around for horses in the meantime. He can see a few tied up in the stables and the one tied to the carriage but otherwise that's it.
As the party reaches enter Sunstar they can see a crowd gathered around a sort of stage yelling slanders at someone. The man is in raggedy clothes tied to a chopping block, ready to be executed. The executioner stands nearby while the town's guard captain reads out charges of secretly aiding the Scarred Hand. Evidently the guards think that this peasant is the agent.

Time: Early-Evening
Hinst, Barak and Ferin hang back trying not to get themselves involved with the situation. Shinga hails a nearby guard and asks what exactly is going on with the guard telling him "There have been rumors of an agent of the Scarred Hand in our city. We have reason to believe this man may be the agent.". Jinn makes her way through the crowd and gets close enough to hear what the guard captain is saying "You are under charge of aiding a nercomantic cult. You will be sentenced to death, immediately!". Jinn watches the executioner move in and two guards restrain the peasant and hold him down to a chopping block...until suddenly a fireball bursts near the executioner (thankfully not setting the stage on fire) that was released by Flare. The crowd gasps and several guards turn their attention towards Flare with the guard that Shinga hailed quickly marching over to Flare and angrily shouting "What do you think you're doing?!" (12).
The situation is very tense, one wrong move could have all of Sunstar's guards attack. What will our pyromantic hero do?

*clears her throat* "We have been sent by the Loreknights of Alastran to apprehend such an agent. If you'd be so kind, can you tell us how you managed to detain him?"

Sunstar's Captain
"The Loreknights would send a bunch of common mercenaries to find an agent? I highly doubt that." He scoffs slightly as he says this.

"For the love of Gwerimar, what are ya doin'? Ya wanna get us killed or somethin'? Listen, good people, if there's anythign we aren't it's Necromancers (said like the word tastes bad in his mouth). In fact, I hate 'em robe figures. With their dark rituals and milk-lovin' minions. If I got the choice, I'd kill 'em all myself! *bursts ou in laughter*. If this man is a necromancer, he certainly deserves to die. That's my word on it, by Gwerimar!"

"That's quite a claim dwarf. How do I know you aren't lying?"
This chapter is going to highlight on some of Alastran's problems as a government and as a people.

"We may be close to, "common mercenaries," as you put it. (Jinn scowls slightly at the label.) But Sethelel did send for us after we thwarted the efforts of the Scarred Hand to resurrect Aden from his tomb."

"Very well then. This man is both pale and filthy, and peasants have acted as eyes for thieves and other crime groups before. Who`s to say this man hasn't done the same? Besides, we have reason to believe he was in possession of a necromantic tome."
The peasant speaks up briefly "It was a dusty book I found behind the library why would that-" before being cut off with a "Silence!" from the guard captain.

"*maniacal laughter* You think I am a Necromancer? That isn't even an acusation, that's a straight up insult to me. I a bloody Necromancer. *laughing* By Gwerimar, you don't know what I've been through, to ya? These Necromancers of yours have ruined my bloody life, I tell ya! They took everything I ever had. I used ta be a guard, y'know? A very important one, at that. Untill these damned Necromancers killed the one person I swore to protect, along with all me mates. All of 'em. Killed ny some stitched together bones. I was the only survivor. But that blasted day, I swore to kill every necromancer I'd ever see. Untill no oe of 'em robe lover remains? Not a single one I tell you. But despite that all, I don't hate Necromancers. I utterly despise them. Do you understand what I'm sayin'? Or do I need ta show you? If that man right there is a necromancer, not even death does 'im justice. He deserves to burn. If he's a necromancer, killin' him won't suffice. His buddies will brgin 'im ack anyways. You need to burn him untill only ash remains. And then, then you need to throw that ash away in the deepest ocean of this world so it can be eaten by the ugliest, meanest water-demon down there. Do you understand?"
(I'll use the oppurtinity to show how insane Barak can get, then)

"That... aside. May we see this book that you recovered? Our mages could probably tell you exactly what kind of magic it is just by being near it. Should it truly be enchanted."

"If you so wish, but try anything and I'll personally execute you. Rorril!". One of the guards (evidently named Rorril) presents Jinn with an incredibly old looking book, the cover being too worn to see the title and pages having been yellowed by time.
