[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 1759571, member: 114"] And to prove that I'm really getting on top of the updates again - three in three weeks... ========== The company are up early next morning. Trajan is carefully writing a note to Warlord Astimon outlining the circumstances surrounding Rastor, Morannon and the temple of elemental evil. The others are enjoying their breakfast when the doors slam open. Don Cullon, the head of the Artisans Fist storms into the room with two of his men. His face is red and he is clearly furious. “You bastards” he hisses “two dozen citizens were murdered in the temple last night. Murdered” There isn’tmuch the adventurers can say – few of the tanners and foundrymen got out alive last night, and they know that most of them were killed by Tania’s fireball. “By rights I should hit you for the weregild to support their families and children, and to support the essential town services which will start making this town stink if replacements can’t be found” “By rights I should raise the standard of your infamy across the nations of Caran so that all people will know of your foul deeds this night. But…” They wait. Trajan and Anne-Marie are feeling uneasy. “But… I’m prepared to be lenient – if you help me out with an issue which I have” They lean forward, listening carefully. “In recent months the increasing efficiency and do-gooding of the councillors has been causing certain problems. They are neither supplying nor collecting graft any more and they have become much more efficient and less… malleable than before. I don’t know why this should be. I want to know why” He’s regaining his composure. Cullon continues “Go to a commercial party next week, attended by the councillors and the local nobility. Find out what is up with the councillors and who is leaning on them. And don’t kill anyone or else I’ll be taking a contract out with the Guild of Four with [i]your[/i] names on it. Understand?” Chastened, the party agrees. There are five days to go before the party next Waxday, so Anne-Marie goes to the Guild of Four and commissions a pair of gloves of severus, imbued with magic to make her just that little bit quicker. M’ir and the others gather information locally and discover that: • the political situation has improved markedly over the last few months. The councillors are doing a much better job than they used to – they seem more inclined to work rather than doss around. At last they are earning their keep! • The shopkeepers are concerned that the Artisans Fist is getting more unruly and rude, and some businessmen have even been threatened by them. Unheard of! • Formal attempts at investigating the councillors by the Artisans Fist have come to nothing and a few of their men have, er, disappeared. [/QUOTE]
