[sblock=more planning]I think we should talk to Bwarli honestly about our concerns--Papol would be happy to tell him why he thought that bringing Balsamae in was a good idea (because it improves the chances that Hulgrimi will be pleased one way or another) but that he doesn't otherwise trust Balsamae's people, so could Bwarli please be on the lookout for any attempts to influence Hulgrimi. We say we're happy enough if Balsamae gets some zocalti prize/trade agreement for his efforts, we are somewhat unhappy if Balsamae gets an exclusive trade agreement or something of the sort (although in this case we presumably still get the restitution we're owed) and we're extremely upset if we somehow get screwed out of our restitution.
Papolstaanas is perfectly willing to try snooping around to find out what Balsamae is using. I'm a bit wary of hanging something so important off a single skill roll that could blow up in my face, but I'm willing to try.
Jynxx could just try chatting with Devin and sounding him out a bit. If Balsamae is as unapproachable as he seems, it's entirely possible that Devin might not even like him that much; Jynxx might try cracking a mild joke or two about Balsamae in Devin's presence and see whether it actually gets a laugh.
Jynxx could also try cozying up to Kanneelas by talking about what a damn fool Papolstaanas is; probably a good way into her heart. Papol would never suggest such a thing, but Jynxx will probably have worked out that he doesn't like her very much by now.[/sblock]
