[QUOTE="CPaladin, post: 8234150, member: 7030144"] Session 33 (February 12, 2008) Missing. This is the first of a group of notes from 2008 that appear to have been permanently lost when I switched computers. I was able to recover most of the notes from this period, but not these. There are a total of about 5 missing sessions. Session 34 (February 18, 2008) Missing. Session 35 (March 20, 2008) 24 of O-Kas We review the holy org chart (Attached) We agree that Kaitlyn should be staying at the palace now. Mtg with the Master of the Royal Warehouses wants to meet with us; Garfield Tuffle a young man, no gray in his full head of hair, carrying his cap in his hand introduces himself as Acting Master of the Royal Warehouses Here for a couple of reasons. One of his men was approached with a bribe to let someone into the warehouses where the salt is kept. Don’t have all that many guards. I’m worried. They’re well built, but… Man was approximately 5’10”, white blond hair, wrinkles, not young, and a potbelly. Salt supply only in one warehouse. Checked the bags, all in good order, but… Someone tried to start a fire, but it didn’t work. Set near the intakes, may have been trying to smoke us out. Nothing like that has ever happened, ever. Announcement of guarantee in the lower city has calmed the common folk. The criers have been saying that the Archduke guaranteed that there wouldn’t be any shortages of salt in the fall. How much of the needs of the Archduchy could be met out of the warehouses? Perhaps 25%. Brought in the alchemists to test for poison-- no problems. Prior head followed the Archduchess. Blonde hair tends to be from the far north-- blondes from around here tend to have dirty blonde hair, and they are unusual. Blonde hair also quite common in the Eastern Trade Federation-- second and later generation northerners who settled there. We realize that reports have been backing up in the Privy Secretary’s office. We talk about hiring Lady Violet of Furrows to fill the position. Kit sends agents to gather info about the town criers. Kit also goes to meet with Gary (the guy who was bribed), with Detect Thoughts up. Gives a description of the man who tried to bribe him. None of the rest of him was fat-- just the potbelly. Very similar to Vivian Parley’s boyfriend, but older in appearance-- wrinkles, sagging around the bones. Potbelly looks fake-- could be carrying something, could be wearing a fake potbelly. Kit believes that it is exactly the same person, but with some sort of unknown effect aging him 30 years-- only thing that looks fake is the potbelly. He said, you’re on duty nights, right? And I said, yes, sir. And he said, I need to look at something in the warehouse. Do you think I could see it when you’re on duty? And I said, no sir. And he said but there’s the side door on the alley, but I said that’s kept locked, and he showed me a hand of coins. With some prompting, Kit gets an image of 5 gold pieces-- at least one has the head of Alistair’s grandmother on it. But I had to turn him away. Glor’diadel doesn’t preserve those who lie and cheat on their rulers. Did he have an accent? Sounded like he had marbles in his mouth. Talks like I imagine a fish does. Didn’t seem like it hurt him to talk, but sounded like it hurt him to breathe. Some people get that problem when they get old. It’s sad. He wasn’t that old, not more than 55, and that’s old, but he wasn’t ancient, not like the priest. But he had trouble breathing, rasping in and out (Kit hears the sound in his voice) [cont'd] [/QUOTE]
