Most of the clerks have ink-stained hands, fairly plebian clothing, and worn, wearied faces. This woman's hands are quite clean and supple, and she is dressed in finer clothes than the rest of the lot; not strikingly finer, but where the others wear clothes that have been patched and re-patched perhaps dozens of times, she appears to be wearing clothing that is new. She has light auburn hair, dark eyes, and fair skin. She is attempting to blend into the crowd and doing a pretty good job of it, but it's obvious she doesn't belong with this lot for one reason or another.[/sblock][gm]I will give Krawlinstar a +2 circumstance bonus on his Diplomacy check for roleplaying because he tended to the wounded.[/gm]Grimlow seems genuinely assuaged by Krawlinstar's words and stops shaking in terror quite so much as he had before. It seems the rest of the clerks are similarly put at ease. Because of this, Grimlow answers thus, "I'm not certain I should be telling you this. It is after all, a private business matter. However, you have been merciful to us and I can sense you have good intentions."About a week ago one of our accountants, a woman named Klimine, stopped showing up for work. The day before this it just so happened that I was working very late when I heard shouting from upstairs. I could tell that Klimine was speaking very angrily with my superior, a fellow named Darok, who is in charge of the Silver Mantle Company's operations in Manas. I could not understand the exact nature of the conversation, but it was clear Klimine was very upset about something. At the time I paid it no mind because I was very invested in my work. After she stopped showing up for work, I assumed that she had been fired or quit. That would have been the end of it. But rumor has it Klimine has not been seen in town since. There is gossip floating around that she went to live with her mother in the country, but I'm not certain I believe that. Anyway, the morning we arrived to find Klimine not around, her desk had already been cleared out. I'm not the sort of person to go asking questions about that sort of thing though, so I have put the matter to rest in my mind."</blockquote>
