Darius - I reclassed "Intelligence: Learning the difference between a rumour and the truth." to Investigation. It's more about investigative skills as used in this piece and as such, I thought it fit better there.

First, huge apologies. I claimed this thread and apparently it somehow got off my list. I am so, so, so, so sorry.
Now then, Oram and Darius! I admit - I love this thread. Oram and Darius are the perfect duo to tackle the mystery of the Cylus Owl. Even though things don't go exactly to plan, at least, as Darius says, they've gotten farther than most! With proof of the feather, I'm sure the hunt will continue.
Oram is amazingly scowly and I enjoyed his interactions with the npc innkeeper very much! Darius is charming as always and I love the dynamic between the two men. There is an ease between them that is noticeable so they were good picks for this adventure.
Npcs were written fantastically in this collab by both of you. It can be tricky not letting the npcs overpower the lead characters but both of you seem to understand that balance, letting Oram and Darius shine. The npcs added to the scenes, not detracted from them.
I enjoyed this thread very much! Thank you again for your patience.
