[QUOTE="Dungannon, post: 2822933, member: 8169"] [b]Posts 141-150[/b] Old 05-01-06, 04:50 AM #141 Heckler "Hmmm..." Babette continues to sit in quiet contemplation. After a few moments, she knocks a pen off of the table. She leans over carefully, picking it up and returning to her previous position. She then stands abruptly and turns around, glancing about, as if looking for something. She then returns to her seat and says to whoever was speaking, "I'm sorry, don't mind me. You were saying...?" ooc: I don't have any more questions. Old 05-02-06, 08:07 PM #142 Rae ArdGaoth Fimble nods politely, remaining respectfully silent. Old 05-02-06, 08:22 PM #143 Patlin Tor frowns. Sadly, it looks like we'll have to do a lot of work before we find someone to thump. Making sure to get a list of break ins with enough information to be able to locate each one, Tor suggests that the group head out and start canvassing crime scenes. Then a thought occurs to him... "Perhaps it would speed things up if you let it be known that the council has hired us? If the thieves guild comes hunting us, it'll be a lot easier to find them." The thought that soft city dwellers, rogues or not, might be an actual *threat* doesn't seem to have occurred to the big man. It would appear that gaining a tactical advantage such as surprise isn't foremost on his mind... Old 05-02-06, 11:41 PM #144 wmasters "Speed things up, perhaps Tor, but I think I'd prefer not to walk into an ambush from them if at all possible." Turning to Ms. LeCroix, "Thank you for your time Ms. LeCroix. At the moment I have no further questions, but if we should have, can we find you here?" Old 05-02-06, 11:45 PM #145 Patlin "As you prefer, Metrius." Tor shrugs. He leads the group onward to the nearest crime scene. Old 05-03-06, 03:39 AM #146 Dungannon "The Council prefers not to advertise its actions, Tor. That's why we hire independent contractors such as you rather than use our own guardsmen, who aren't really trained for investigative work anyway." Simone stands as the group prepares themselves to begin their work. "If you have any future questions, or discover anything that you need to report, you can find me here or, if I'm unavailable, leave a message for me with the receptionist." She makes her way to the door and holds it open for the adventurers as they make their way out. She places a hand on Babette's shoulder as the sorceress starts to leave, "I'd like a word with you please, if you don't mind." Once everyone but Babette exits the room, Simone closes the door. [sblock=Babette: ]Now that they are alone, Simone stares at the young magician. "Trust is an important thing, miss. Especially between employer and employee.

"So, where do we head first?" ooc: Having no opinion on the matter, assume Kith will go wherever the group wants, and feel free to use him in your own posts. Old 05-03-06, 02:51 PM #149 wmasters Metrius walks up ahead with Kith and speaks in hushed tones, “Well, as I see it, we've got two places to look at first.
