A repost of the documents:
The documents on the tables are quite diverse, with each desk seeming to be working on a different project.
" Further analysis shows several distinct projects.
1. Financial Research -- contracts and papers detailing debts and financial holdings of various lords and businesses are found scattered about the desks, shelves, and cabinets here. In most cases, the lord or company in question is deeply in debt, so this is probably part of some sort of blackmail or loan sharking scheme. At another desk are similar papers, seeming to be copies but having differences. Apparently they were forging documents.
2. Troop movements. Maps of troop movements for armies on both sides are recorded here, as are notes, apparently from talking to soldiers. There is a letter that has just been written, talking about increased elven activity in the seas near Luskan and in outlying areas. It ends, "I recommend that defensive measures be stepped up in and around Luskan, and the construction of the Stormships sped up as much as possible. The movements themselves indicate that there may be an invasion within the next few months. When I meet with my source in a few days, I will be able to determine more." It is not yet signed, but it is addressed to a High Captain Grorgodorl Lindo. None of you know the name, but it doesnt seem to be Luskanite. You find that on one set of notes, it speaks of a meeting at a vacant apartment in the middle of town (It gives direction on how to get there) at midnight tomorrow night with "a good new friend of yours."
3. Medical Information -- It appears that this individual has been studying reports about methods for increasing the efficacy of various drugs and poisons.
4. Reports about various violent incidents around the North. A letter, also in-progress, notes:
"At this time I can safely say that the Council is being reconstituted. Any of the following individuals, and possibly the organizations that they represent, could be the one who is behind it. From what I hear, this is operated by a single individual. Any of these could be involved in some minor way, but only one is the leader:
Renyn Aolis - leader of the Eyes of the Wood, Evermeet's excellent intelligence operation
Randal Morn - rebel turned Dalesman lord
Caladnei - Advisor to the Regent of Cormyr Alusair and Royal Magician
Hovarn Turg - leader of a Waterdeep-based problem-solving agency
Irusyl Eraneth - Skullport-based drow leader of a similar organization
Vlam Wiso - intellegence chief, Algorondian Military
Fenton Karfon - adventurer, presumed to be a master Harper"
Found among the equipment of the BB is ...a packet of papers. They detail his orders to raid Irusyl's base in Skullport, kidnap Jaina, and take her to the temple of Gond in Luskan. It included a map to Irusyl's base and other useful operational information. It also states that a payment of 50,000gp in unminted gold bars could be collected from Lady Thistle Thalavar in Yartar as payment."
Thydin listens to Kelnar explain the situation, and comments "It is fortunate that this information regarding troop movements and the supposed reconstitution of the Council (which is integuing, altouhgh I know not whether it is true) were intercepted. This is not the sort of thing that we want Storm to have access to. High Captain Grorgodorl Lindo, by the way, is the leader of the Grtak, Storm's "diplomatic police," a polite term for spies and thugs. This criminal organzation seemed to be freelancing for them.
The meeting with a spy at midnight tonight is very serious. I will arrange for another team to intercept him.
Regarding Lady Thalavar, I believe that we should pay her a visit...but later.
The referense to Stormships confirms that there are in fact new naval technologies being produced in those temples.
Much of this other information, like the blackmail data and medical information, may come in handy as well.
All in all, this information merely confirms our previous suspicions. However, the reference to the ships implies that you ought to look for a drydock in addition to separate technological pieces. LIkely the dock is in that building in between the two temples that has sea access, altohuggh considering its height it must be largely underground."
