[QUOTE="DM_Matt, post: 596567, member: 1213"] Seeming that there is little availible information for a good plan of attack, your discussions dont seem to help a lot. Perhaps gleaning more information could help. The people dining in Hogarth's Hall are as follows.... Five individuals, apparently two priestesses and three male guards, with symbols of Umberlee are eating together. Their Luskanite accents seem legitimate, but unlike most Luskanites, all have stark and pointed features and long black, blue, and green hair (in ponytails on the men, hanging free on the women). It is known that clerics and other (un)holy people sometimes are "blessed' with a slow transformation that causes them to resemble their god, butseeing all 5 transformed like that mean that they are either all high in rank or that this particular church of Umberlee is particularly favored. Their discussion seems to center around the brass pushing them extra hard for some reason lately. ------------------------------------------ Three tables are taken by local sailors, one group of which seems to be discussing the reletive merits of various ales while the other two seem to be talking about the Kraken. They seem to be proud of their navy, but wonder why the Kraken, who have not harassed Luskanite shipping in the past, tried to foolishly and openly enter Luskanite waters without taking many precaustions against detection by patrol boats. ----------------------------------------- At another table, someone wearing a cloak with the wagonwheel of Gond emblazened on the back. The figure sits poring over several books and papers and tapping some sort of long wooden device on the tqable frusteratedly (Yes, the Church of Gond has managed to invent pencils or sorts) The figure orders more food and you can see that it is a human female in her mid-20s with medium-length curly blond hair, fair skin (those two above factors imply that she's native) and a pretty but sullen face. ------------------------------------------ In a booth, two men in armor who look a lot like the Umberlee temple guards at another table are talking to what looks to be an Ogre-Mage and a hobgoblin, both dressed in a purple uniforms that you do not recognize. You cannot hear what they are saying and the booth obscures your vision of any possible insignias on the goblinoids. ------------------------------------------ Three tables seas traveling merchants, one set complaining about how the increasingly militarized nature of the seas has been highly detrimental to their businesses and one insisting that the elves have begun a partial blockade of Luskan because a friend of his disappeared (along with his ship) who was once prophecies to be destined to die at sea at the hands of surface elves. ------------------------------------------ One table seats marines from one of the ships that destroyed the Kraken. they are boasting to each other over their accomplishments and discussing the battle in detail. ----------------------------------------- One table seats 2 orcs, an ogre, an Onorog (Half-Orc, half-ogre-mage...a common pedigree for officers in Storm's army), a hobgoblin, and a kobold, all wearing the red uniforms of Storm's local occupying military police force. By the way, I have the action and orientation post for GE and Leopold ready for when Leo poss...I just need to adjest it for whatever name and backstory he uses. [/QUOTE]
