[QUOTE="Cypherblade, post: 9683514, member: 7048389"] as you will see this report is written by another player. And suddenly Guy Goodson is prime suspect. This will be fun. [spoiler] [B]Date[/B]: Spring 10th, 500 AOV [B]Report Writer[/B]: Gustaaf Overflorijn First of all, a correction must be made to Inspector Felix's previous report. Inspector Overflorijn did not act out of emotion. The carriage was attacked by crossbowmen, and an attack on the RHC is the same as an attack on Risur. Following standard procedures, Inspector Overflorijn is obliged to arrest the attackers. [LIST] [*]Staf recalls that the family of Hana Gale Soliogn is from Danor—something related to mining—but he remembers little else. [*]Staf tried to arrest the men, but due to their numbers and their use of weapons against him, he failed. Fortunately, he reunited the leader with his lover. Given the odds, arresting them wasn’t currently possible. [*]The red-haired woman is named "Morena" and has now been reunited with her husband. She was kidnapped as leverage by Kell's men to expand their territory. We're not entirely convinced by this. [*]Ayleen and Kane dragged the unconscious Kell associate to the carriage, tied him up according to procedure #184, and left him inside. Kane healed him so Ayleen could begin the interrogation. [/LIST] [B]Interrogation of the Kell Associate:[/B] [LIST] [*]Name: Pjotr Henkens [*]Organization: Kell’s Thieves’ Guild [*]Role: Rabble-rouser [*]Salary: 2–3 gp/day [*]Task: Threaten Lorcan regarding Kell’s expansion into Cloudwood [*]Address: Old Theatre (Theatre of Scoundrels), Parity Lake district [*]Stockpiles in Casa Del Kell, also in Parity Lake [*]Hierarchy: Reports to “De Polle”, but higher leadership unknown. Recruited by “Bjorn” [*]Sadly, Ayleen’s weapon accidentally discharged and Pjotr died, ending the interrogation. [/LIST] [B]Arrival at the Commune[/B] [B]of the Foresters[/B]: [LIST] [*]We were led into a large tent smelling of incense, populated by several people and one orc. [*]Kane brought the news of Nilasa to Nevard Sechim. He had tried to dissuade her from getting involved with Gale, unsuccessfully. [*]Gale still visits from time to time. Nevard agrees we can speak to her—on the condition we do not arrest her. [*]In return, he asks us to climb Cauldron Hill to observe the stars. We’re advised to get permission from Reed Macbannin. [*]The orc Pazamu—a friend from Ber—has the power to temporarily channel others’ abilities. We are unsure about the moral implications. [*]Nevard has only a few months to live. Staf doubts we’ll make it in time, but Kane disagrees. [/LIST] We return to the city, taking a detour east of Cauldron Hill to seek out Reed Macbannin. [B]Arrival at Reed Macbannin’s Villa[/B] [LIST] [*]While we wait, we meet a postman with strong opinions about The Nettles. [*]Mayor Reed Macbannin receives us in his office. We request permission to climb the hill. He warns of danger, but as RHC agents, we are undeterred. [*]He agrees to grant protective charms and cleansing rituals upon our return. [*]We may ascend tomorrow afternoon, but for one night only. We must go during daylight and carry amulets against spirits. Goat blood will be provided to draw a protective circle around our camp to trap spirits. Magical light is [B]strictly forbidden[/B]. This exceptional permission is granted out of respect for the Skyseer’s lifetime of service to Flint. [/LIST] [B]Back at Nevard Sechim’s Camp[/B] [LIST] [*]He requests a vitality-boosting spell. Staf flatly refuses to accept a spell from an orc. [*]Pazamu asks Ayleen what happened to her hand and offers help if the task is completed. [*]Camp residents think Gale’s views are rather extreme. [*]We are fed and get at least eight hours of rest. [/LIST] [B]At the RHC HQ[/B] [LIST] [*]We inquire about the two other prisoners questioned yesterday by Sarïa (Travis Starter and one more). [*]They claim to have valuable info but want compensation. [*]Stover gives us a report from Luther Ashcroft (Kane’s mentor) mentioning Porter. → See 466 AOV doc (OPERATIVE X) [*]Oil flask results: ALL flasks emit neo-romantic magic. The three with mist emit even more. Likely prepared to receive a spirit. The flakes are dried oil. [*]Kane asks us to pick up Kars Starter from the Gallo's School for Boys and Girls (son of Travis Starter). [*]We discuss our strategy for the oil: [LIST=1] [*]Remove all oil [*]Place an undercover agent to monitor it → Felix disagrees [*]Post flyers to gather eyewitnesses [/LIST] [*]We brief Stover so he can relay it to the court. [*]A police officer brings Kars Starter. He mentions a Crisillyiri group at Pine Island. [*]We board the [I]Audacious[/I] and sail to Goodson Prison with Kars. [/LIST] [B]At the Prison:[/B] [LIST] [*]Travis Starter is interrogated. We show him Kars to encourage cooperation. He demands weekly visits with his son. [*]He reveals Nilasa had visited for about 30 minutes. She was working for recent city arrivals to smuggle stolen magical wands from Crisillyir. She had brokered a deal with “La Familia” scheduled for the 12th. The contact was “The House Elf,” and the deal was to occur on one of the Ayres Islands. Worth tens of thousands of gold. Name dropped: “Gale.” [*]We let him see Kars for five minutes. [*]Kane asks the prison warden how things are going with Guy Goodson and his future bride. [*]We begin to suspect that Goodson’s island may be the same as the one where Gale's deal is to take place. [/LIST] [/spoiler] [/QUOTE]
