"Hmm I'll have to find another way out..." Hope thought.
"How can I do this..." Hope pondered. He thought for a while until he decided to send his serpent through under the door.
"Find someone who can help me girl. Don't go to anyone that is from this town. Take this note and once you give it to them stay hidden like you do with me." Hope whispered as he scribbled on the paper.
The young basilisk slithered above the door frame and crawled along the buildings supports in search for someone to help save its master.

As Kelly finished her breakfast and got up with her new note, she noticed a snake crawling towards her with a rolled up note in its mouth. Must be Tuesday already.
She knelt down and took the note from the snake, opening to read it.

The letter read,
"Please send help. I've been locked in my room against my will. My pet won't hurt you, she should be hidden though. I'm in one of the rooms on the second floor. -H"
The young serpent slithered towards @banditkelly s hand.

"Well, that's all I need then...." She muttered to herself. Rolling up the note and letting the basilisk crawl into her shirt, Kelly headed back up stairs with the note in hand. She handed it to the guard.
"By the way, the priest wanted me to hand you this." She said as she gave him the note, "He said it was important, regarding the one who walks in darkness."
Regardless of whether the guard was focused on her or the note, the basilisk would slither down her leg and back under the door frame to her master undetected.

"Oh, you're back darling. I'm assuming you found someone?" Hope picked up the basilisk and it slithered back around his arm.
He went and stood to the side of the door.
"I hope they can truly help..." Hope braced himself for whatever was to come.

The guard looked down at the note Kelly wrote, squinting at it. He completely disregarded the snake, instead scrutinizing the note.
"You said this was from the High Priest? But he's at the church right now...or at least he should be. Did he come back or something?"

The moment the guard looked down to read the note, he would be able to get through a few lines before something seemed off:
To whom it may concern,
I have asked this child to bring notice to you, so as to prove herself as one who walks the path of light, to release the darkened one. Upon reconsideration I have decided to give him a second chance to change his way this is actually a distraction
While he read the note, Kelly swiftly drew her sword and attempted to impale the guard through the neck, puncturing the paper as she did so to mask her drawing.

The guard read the note, curious. He squinted as he read, trying to understand how she would have gotten such a curious note. What did he mean by a distraction?
"Are you sure this is from the High Priest? This is actually a distraction? What does that m-gkkk!"
He choked and gurgled as Kelly's blade sank into his throat, then slowly slid to the ground as blood dripped down his neck and onto the carpet.

Kelly cleaned the sword off using the chef's clothes before sheathing it. "I've had better eggs." She retorted to the now dead guard, "Not enough salt." Quickly she knelt down to look for a key or some way to unlock the door. If there was no such key, she knocked on the door while ripping wooden boards off. "Hey, dark guy," She called to Hope "Not an Assassin" "You still in there? It's Kelly from last night."

"Oh man, am I glad to see you.." Hope said ecstatically. He looked down and saw the body. As he was stepping over it he asked. "What even happened here?" He didn't take her for a murderer.
"What's our next step then?" Hope asked as he started following @banditkelly

"Don't know" Kelly said as she headed for the stairs, "He was like that when I got here. As for your next step? I'd think you'd want to get revenge on the priest for locking you up for your beliefs. Me? I got a few choice words myself."
As she approached the stairs, she stopped Hope.
"Stay here, wait a literal minute, then run down stairs. I gotta talk to someone about the dead body and there's people who hate you downstairs."

Hope stood in the hallway upstairs as Kelly asked listening for anything out of the ordinary. He didn't know what he was expecting but he was waiting for a sign nonetheless.

Kelly walked down the stairs, changing her casual walk into one looking more worried and holding back panic. She briskly walked over to the counter to talk to the bartender. "Look, I don't want to cause a panic," She said to them in a fearful, hushed tone, "but I just went back upstairs to get something and the guy outside the dark guy's door was dead! Someone stabbed him I think! Plus, the dark guy's escaped!" Strangers and Travelers

"That conniving little woman... what kind of person rescues someone then blames them for murders.." Hope was perplexed by the actions of the woman that rescued him.
He dashed down the stairs and out of a window on the first floor.
Hope ran into the nearby woods. "*huff huff* That was a close one.." He could feel the serpent writhing around on his arm, likely due to his increased heartbeat.
"It's okay girl, go back to rest. We're okay now." he said as he pet the young reptile. "I don't know what that was about but I'll definitely be back..."

The chatter in the dining room stopped suddenly when Kelly told them the news. A man hurried upstairs to check. He returned a moment later, face white as a sheet.
"I-it's true. I don't know where the darkness man is, but he definitely stabbed Gregor and ran. H-he's dead..."
There was a gasp, and a few townsfolk began sobbing. The chatter started up again, but it was more worried and sorrowful. Everyone loved Gregor! He was as nice as could be, and made the best chicken sandwiches in town. What would become of his two twin children, whose mother had died of illness just last year? They were orphans now, and at the tender age of only six. A large, friendly-looking dog ran upstairs and began howling at the sight of his master lying dead on the floor. A messenger was dispatched to the church to inform the High Priest of the escape and murder. Eventually, one of the townsfolk turned to Kelly.
"What did you see? Did you see anyone suspicious besides the one who walked in darkness? Are you alright?"

"Me? No, I just went back up to get my belongings and when I did I just saw his body and the door had all the wooden planks ripped off!" Kelly said, shaking her head. She stopped and thought.
"Hang on...ripped off from the outside? Oh crap, what if he had an accomplice?!"
She began to rush for the door before stopping and turning around.
"Where's the priest? We need to warn him, there might be another dark-walker on the loose."

The townsfolk stopped her, stepping in front of the door.
"Don't worry, High Priest Lucian is on his way. You shouldn't go out there. Like you said, the killer might be out there on the loose! Just wait, he'll be here in a few moments. Even though it's reaffirmation day, he's not one to dally in an emergency. He'll be just a moment. Stay here where it's safe."

She nodded and returned to sit down. All according to plan.
"Alright, good. The last thing I need to is to fight another follower of Dark Falz."

The people paused.
"Dark Falz? Who's that? That sounds dangerous...you say you fought one of his followers? What was it like? Are they following you?"
All of a sudden, Kelly would hear the clopclopclop of a horse galloping at full speed. It stopped outside, and High Priest Lucian stepped through the door. He'd clearly wasted no time in getting here, especially since the church was on the other side of town.
"Don't worry everyone, I'm here. The first thing to do is to stay calm and trust in the Light."
He looked around, then up the stairs.
"I assume the poor victim is up there? Did anyone see it happen?"
The innkeeper shook his head.
"No sir, but that newcomer girl discovered the body."
Lucian turned to Kelly, sighing.
"I'm sorry, Kelly dear. This is very unlike Lux. Usually we're a very safe town, but this is what happens when those who walk in darkness show up. This is why we must trust in the Light, and bathe in its glory. Glory to the Light."
"Glory to the light," chorused the villagers.

"Yes, I understand. As I was saying to them, it's going to be very dangerous now with a follower of Dark Falz out there." She stood up and grabbed a pencil. As she spoke, she began to drawn what appeared to be a reptilian eye on it. "Dark Falz is a powerful warlock who walks in darkness. It's said he was the source of all darkness and misery in the world, and the reason why the light has kept this village safe. I'm surprised you haven't heard of him, he's extremely dangerous outside the town."
