"Agreed Gavril! That is the only logical manner in which to proceed, it seems to me. But I, for one, will be listening to what the clerk has to say with my theory in mind as well, to test what we learn against what we already know and what we suspect. And, yes, Gavril, you are absolutely correct that it may be some other form of magic. I was merely using water as an example of something commonly used by all, that appears to be harmless, because whatever we are dealing with seems to be affecting everyone or almost everyone. "

OCC - I am guessing we are all in the temple now.

"You know, while making our way over here I had a lot of thoughts, here are some of them:

1. Is the Maor is in control of Clún? Or even of himself (as has been questioned before)?
2. If he is, why are the Bairdéir not getting any love here?
3. If he's not, why is he still in power, when someone wants him dead?
4. If he is in control, and the Bairdéir aren't getting any love, what happens if he's approached directly by Bairdéir?
5. If he's not in control, will it help to approach him directly?

So while you guys are in the House Clún, you should pop in and visit ye old Maor and see what the old chap is made of or if he is even there."

Quoth Our Erstwhile GM: "A Quick Re-Cap of Events in Clún -- You are now in the Temple where Cerallos is staying trying to decide what to do."

"Our thoughts about things are quite similar, Skáth. I like your idea, but I still think we should talk to the clerk before confronting Maor Clún."

Gavril

"Yes, the Maor Clun should be questioned as well. We also have a duty to warn him of the plot against him once we have enough information to justify presenting it." Gavril stretches his leg as he considers for a moment. "How do we approach this clerk? We need to figure out a way to get a private chat with him that won't draw undo suspecion to him or we may as well put a blade in him ourselves, for surely it will mean his death."

"We can always use the same tactic with the clerk that we used on the waitress. Or do you fear that he may be more suspicious and wary of us?

 

[Scotley]

"Meaning find out where he lives and brace him at home? It might work, but he doesn't know us and might be wary." Considering he says, "maybe we could come up with a story about accounting and tax audits. We are a new special tax audit team and we need to borrow all the clerks for a little while. We could then perhaps be alone with him?"

OOC: I'm assuming of course that the Maor has some responsibility for taxes to the queen. If that is not the case we'll need some other function. Census or something.

"How about a slightly different angle on that, ok? We don't want to make it seem like we're talking to all the accountants, because then we'll have to actually talk to all of them and our lie will get stretched pretty thin by the time we're done. But we could say that we're a special team working for the government for the purpose of awarding medals to the best accountants in the land. We could even have some kind of medal made for him to substantiate our story and provide a little more cover for the accountant, too. Critique? Criticism?"

"All plans i've heard have potential...but i am at a loss. as you know, hatching and weaving an intricate plan has never been my forté. I'll go along with what we decide, and when something goes wrong (something always does) Thanatos will clean up the mess"

Gavril

Gavril grins. "I like it. If they think we are giving a prize they'll be much more receptive than if we are here to adit their taxes. We could say that an interview is part of the selection process and get a handful of clerks including the one we want to sit down for a private discussion of their jobs. That should give the clerk we want," Gavril is too paranoid to say his name even here, "a chance to tell us his story. If he doesn't open up willingly we'll push him with some leading questions and then outright confrontation as needed."

"Wellllll, you're the silver-tongued one, Gavril, so you take the story and run with it as you see fit, just don't embellish it more than we are able to back up! We'll just be your silent support, right guys?"
