The evidence is out there somewhere. Earlier party of adventurers has tried to investigate directly but fails horribly, with one of them captured. A later party investigates further and found out another manor owned by the Buress Family housing several slaves and slavers. Maybe you think this is enough, maybe it is not, or maybe you're ready to for a conclusion, who knows?
How to accomplish : Must have at least Logic 1, Learning 1, Perception 1, Persuasion 1, Presence 1. Completes in (15/Attribute Score) days (rounded up, doesn't have to be consecutive days). Contact NotSolidSnake/MotherCreator in Discord if you want to take this
Available beginning from DAY 382

Day These Happens : 286 -
[Attributes Used : Learning 2]
Ledger Comparison : Comparing the record from ledger obtained by adventurer from earlier 'investigation' with the ledger obtained from second 'investigation' in the other manor of Buress Family, searching for pattern of certain name, amount of transaction, method of transaction, sender and recipient, there ought to be something we can [Learn] from those things so that we can ties them to certain or several member of family. Spellbook Reverse Engineering :
Every magical item has their creator signature, no matter how hard you try to mask it, with the help of [Scholars] we can try to untangle the spell and see how many people can this teleportation spell transport, how are they transported, can we trace the residual if the original spell site are desecrated, and what are the use of phylactery, and how can we tie the phylactery to the creator and user of this spell.
Research the Mind-Locking Spell :
What is happening with those slaves in the second manor, their eyes are glazed over and they are not responsive to any stimulus we give them, is there any kind or mind-locking spell that is affecting them, if we can undo it, will they speak about whoever makes them like that.
All info gained are shared with guilds concerning this matter of slavery, feel free to give a visit

Day happened : 382-383 386-387 390
[Attributes Used :Perception 5]
Checking The Waterway From the report about last mission, there was something about adventurers escaping from waterway right? Asfuld will go around the area, be careful to not directly approach it himself. By using his [Scent] and [Master Tracker] it should be easy to locate few wild animals, like mouse or so. Then, by bribing with food animals should be receptive to his wish especially with his connection to nature [Nature's Ally]. After that, Milo can communicate with them, ask them to go to the waterway to ask investigate is the waterway guarded or not, and if there's a lot of people there or not and more importantly the location of where they keep the slaves and prisoners [Whisperer of the wild].
Checking the perimeter Asfuld will walk around the perimeter of the manor, at night with the help of [Blind sight] under cover of darkness and sneak [Concealment] to find if there's any other way in or out. From the perimeter he will also take a look at the castle's wall and tower to find something that can be utilized. In this investigation he will use [Scent] to find any marks or scent mark that could lead to a trail. Should be possible.... he know the stench of stale blood and leather whip at this point.
Eyes In The Sky Milo will use [Summon Creature] to call a bird, eagle of some sort to give a new information. Milo can the using his connection with nature [Nature's Ally] and ability to communicate with fellow animals to ask the summoned creature about any suspicious activities happening there.

For Anderson{DAY 394} Ledger Crossvalidation It's suspicious. All entries under "Suitor Gifts" by Luca Buress have a family name related to it, possibly to signify where the Suitor comes from. However when you crosschecked these names, none of the names appear under any list of nobility in Upponia. It could be that they from outside of Upponia but, even then it's more suspicious, because how can one person be this famous outside Upponia? Even though he belongs in a noble house, this level of fame is unprecedented, only reserved for famous deity or saints, and Luca belongs to none of those categories.
These entries is perfect to mask slave purchases, you realize this, especially when knowing that the amount under these entries matches the market price for slaves.
Reverse-Engineering Spellbook The spellbook itself seems to be purchased from some skilled wizard somewhere in Upponia. It needs another entryway at the other side of teleportation, and it can only be opened by some biometric signature, in this case the blood inside the phylactery, and the other entryway is at the Buress Manor, which means there's a secret, magical, passageway from both manor, only accessible by those who owns the phylactery. As for whose blood inside the phylactery, it is unclear, but the purity of it signifies that it belongs to some nobility
Mind-Lock Spell There are a number of mind-locking spell available to some skilled mages. You are unsure which one the slavers used, or if they use any at all. The other consideration and the more likely one that you come to, is that the slaves, through several physical and most likely sexual torture, has their mind broken. No will to fight, nor to live. Basically it's more likely that they are suffering from mental trauma.

For Asfuld{DAY 390} Waterway Animals The animals tell you that the irrigation channel is guarded. They see no slaves in the Buress Manor, but from time to time they say that they hear male screams from below the manor
Checking the Perimeter Buress Manor is now heavily guarded, 24/7. All entrances accounted for. The only weak link is perhaps their Manor Tower. there's only two crossbowmen guarding the tower at all times, and they seem susceptible to melee attacks. The other way in is the irrigation channel that connects to the Manor's backyard. It's guarded but if one is skilled at stealth, they can try to move in from that entrance.
Eyes in the sky The flying beasts tells you that after the last party raided the second Buress Manor, there are movements there at night. People are tied up and forcefully moved into an enclosed carriage.

Character: Arina Day: 382- (+ extra days for Anderson request) Primary Attribute: Presence 5 (also has logic 2, persuasion 2, and quick learner)
Methods: 1. Rally and ask around the ex-slaves Arina visits several group of ex slaves and ask around. Due to the trauma, they might be to afraid to say anything. Because of that, Arina use her people skill to cheer them up first and help the readjust to society by buying them basic necessity to work [WL 4]. After they are calmer, possibly due to her [attractive] presence, Arina subtly ask around while collecting the stuff they used to have as slave like manacles and slave collars.
2. Interrogate the captured slavers Arina also then goes to the other end, visiting the captured slavers. Playing both good guard, bad guard at the same time. Arina collect them in a room then intimidate them by doing nothing except exert her presence silently. Then, she meets them one by one, using talking them in a relaxing and charming way [attractive], asking for more clues and possible physical evidence. If necessary, Arina will use her pheromone perfume (charmed) or her new veritas perfume (truthfulness) to smooth out the investigation.
3. Filter the evidence Arina also ask around adventurers for extra evidence. After gathering physical evidence, Arina use her skill in research along with ABC's expertise in biology to do forensic science, looking for biological prints, DNA leftovers, or even aromatology (Scent) to check if the evidence gathered could be tied to Buress Family
4. Investigate evidence from Anderson
After receiving the following letter from Anderson, Arina proceeds to check the evidence, using Biochemistry and Forensic Science as before, Arina does a thorough investigation and report to Anderson as suggested. Arina also shares her finding to various people she deemed trustworthy.

Character: Azure Grace and AiciDay: 387 - 390
Primary Attribute: Azure - Presence 5 (with Persuasion 3) Aici - Influence 5 (with Perception 4)Methods: It seems Arina's Method is almost same with Azu,might as well collaborate, and show some poetic Irony1. Pacifist Embrace - Trauma Research Center
Slavery, a place where you could find a broken person, like Itha-me before she done that thing, perhaps there is a way to mend the broken one, with his gentle upbringing of [Pacifist] Doctrine, and [Companion] that capable of [Observant] Observation, he will try to mend the head and the heart of the broken one, with [Influence] from his [Companion] he will start to try to open them up by using [Phantasm] of their Happy times of general joy, to east their numb from trauma reminding them that your past is over, the darkness has gone away, and now it's your time to be happy , using persistence of [Ascetic] and Aici's [Observation] The Monk and the Flying cat will tend them, slowly, Until they can regain sanity, and perhaps, hopefully, can share something useful to save the other that still trapped in somewhere dark and tortured in the flesh and Mind. if nothing is gained, at least, Azu could help the broken one to be unbroken. TL;DR Pacifist care for the Broken One2. Interrogate the captured slavers with ArinaIt seems Arina prefer to do a Silent treatment as a stick analogy, And perhaps Azu in past wont hurt anyone, but it seems the greater good outweigh your personal preference, Guildmaster just do what he could, he risked his reputation to do what is right, even the path he took might not be the cleanest one, and for now, I couldn't Agree more.
Azu will try to utilize Aici's [Phantasm] and Azu's whisper of [Entropic] Sutra, to break the slaver that preferably strong in body, but not in mind, or perhaps the one that immune to charm, he will use [Phantasm] to conjure them, their personal hell, no wound will be visible, it's all just affecting your Soul, using [Influence] to conjure their [Torture Phantasm] and if they already know it's Illusion, he will add [Entropic] Damage and whispering dread word and act as their torturer , keeping the act using [Presence]
They won't be harm, at least nothing will be visible, and Azu could do this all day, all night long using his [Ascetic] perk , earned by training to earn the sutra power in past. He will alternate on torturing them and letting them talk to Arina, or even ask them is this enough , and even beg them to just spill the beans using his [Presence], since he don't want to hurt anyone. TL;DR He will Mind break them. no visible wound, but their head/soul will be gutted into pieces, Spill the beans please, I don't want to kill them

For Arina{DAY 394} 1. Rally and ask around the ex-slaves The slaves that you meet in Geiselburg are not bought by the Buress family, so there's little they can tell you about the case. They do however knows that some of the slaves, female ones and the most beautiful ones were being bought by some noble. There's currently no way, in this stage, to point that statement to the Buress Family. As for slave outfits, it's slim pickings. Most of these slaves wants to leave all those memory behind, and so they throw away their slave outfits. You only managed to get one set of ragged clothing, a manacle and a collar
2. Interrogate the captured slavers The most promising captured slaver is the one being held by the Alliance of Iron. The slaver gave up every information he had, thanks to your truthfulness perfume. He was working with Luca Buress to provide him with a constant supply of slaves. Female ones, and the most pretty of them. Luca has been using these slaves for his lust, and he's not above letting the other slavers taking turns with the ones that he's done with. The purchases are obscured in the ledgers as "Suitor Gifts" and to avoid investigation, he claims that the suitors are nobilities from outside of Upponia. The slaver has been hiding at the Buress' second manor. To keep themselves hidden, they have been keeping the manor unmaintained. Luca himself used a teleportation magic that's locked between the two manors, so people wouldn't see him going into the manor.
3. Filter the evidence In order to determine if any biological evidence can be tied to the Buress Family you'd need to have samples from the Buress' themselves. So this is not possible at the moment
4. Investigate evidence from Anderson You made a simple report that would identify the owner of said blood. When provided with a new sample, and time to generate a report for the new sample, you can compare it with the blood report from the magical instrument and determine with 99% accuracy of whether or not the blood comes from the same individual.

For AzureYour days are not synced with Arina's so I'll null any collaboration attempts in narrative{DAY 390} 1. Pacifist Embrace - Trauma Research Center The slaves that you meet in Geiselburg are not bought by the Buress family, so there's little they can tell you about the case. They do however knows that some of the slaves, female ones and the most beautiful ones were being bought by some noble. There's currently no way, in this stage, to point that statement to the Buress Family. And they are not traumatized, not as much as the ones not rescued in the Buress Manor.
2. Interrogate the captured slavers with Arina The most promising captured slaver is the one being held by the Alliance of Iron. The slaver gave up every information he had, thanks to your sutra. He was working with Luca Buress to provide him with a constant supply of slaves. Female ones, and the most pretty of them.
