The ratman glared at him for a second and then at long last nodded again. "One of the others on the long walk was placed close to the leader of the Farm Faith, and has a secondary target. If it fails, it is to seek out and kill the ranking priest of Dain who has entered the city, made to look like an act of treason by the Archduchy. The final one has been insinuated in as a priest in the Archbishop's household. We had to kill an existing priest and then use the stone to absorb his memories. He will strike once the old woman dies, to prevent the Prince from being crowned." "How could we recognize him?" Dame Brionna asked. The ratman shrugged. "He has fat cheeks." "How does the ratman targetting the head of the coven plan to strike?" "Following two routes. First by releasing the devils through warpstone in the meat supply, but if the devils fail, then the assassin will try directly, or switch to targetting the Prince." "Are there other skaven besides the assassins in the City?" "There is a Skree lord, but he is a traitor. He wishes to meet with the Prince, but we have not been able to find him to kill him. We but hope that the Prince's people will kill him for us. Of the Eshen warbands, two of the bands did not survive the crossing, but were killed by Brightspan. We would have had fifty warriors and two more assassins if they had made it. Only two warbands made it, providing about twenty-five warriors. It may have been a mistake to approach the Duke directly, but we knew he was disloyal and thought we could enlist his support." "What of Dridall's family? Are they still human? Where are they held?" "Dridall's family is still human; Muldar has odd ideas of honor. There is a Muldar compound with Eshen guards. Nearly at the border, in what used to be the city of Gettings, where they alter the slaves for infiltration. Most die; few can be changed, even though Muldar can change anything." "Infiltration? Infiltration where?" "Most were sent east to convince the barbarian tribes to attack." "What of the other human lands around here? Did you target them as well?" The ratman nodded. "We have our plans to take the Twin Cities of the Gates. We intended to take that pass by force, using the skaven warriors and slaverats. We must expand to avoid stripping the land. We have starved before and do not wish to starve again. We were going to start by taking one of the cities, which we could do with ease, but now that they have pulled back their troops and started purging rats, it may be a losing call. We have some agents there, but their rulers will not listen to reason." The questioning continued but produced little additional information.</blockquote>
