"Are there races besides the Daoine, or are there other creatures, that feed on emotion? As is evidenced by our friend Skáth, being Daoine also doesn't necessarily make the Maora the enemy. However, when we put it all together a disturbing picture starts to emerge.
1. There is a plot of some sort afoot that involves controlling the Maor - control that he is apparantly resisting at least to the point that it may be necessary for whoever pulls his strings to take him out of the picture.
2. It seems that a female is running the game.
3. The most likely candidate for puppeteer, in my opinion, is the Maora. She is female. She is Daoine masquerading as human (no, Skáth, that doesn't clench it all by itself, but even you have to admit that the vast majority of the Daoine wish to expand their control and wish humans ill). She pretty openly invited Gavril to tryst with her right in front of her husband - if that doesn't speak to her control of him I don't know what does.
4. The Maor is planning - indeed, is due to leave any day now - a 'state visit' to his neighboring Maor. This neighboring territory just happens to be the one our new friend Cyr was investigating because something sinister seems to be afoot there as well.
Do we have enough to move in and accuse the Maora right now? Probably not, but I think we should keep an eye on her at least, and consider her our prime suspect for ringleader. Does anyone remember the details of the clerk's revelations? It seems I remember that the assassination of the Maor Clún was more a byproduct of his resistance to control than the major thrust of the conspiracy, but I may be wrong about that.
Assuming I remember this detail correctly, my suggestion is that we either make arrangement to be included in the state visit or shadow the ambassadorial party and try to get more details about the nature and scope of the conspiracy. As to whether or not Deasaigh and his bunch are part of this plot or have their own game afoot, it seems we must put that question on the back burner for now - we have to way to connect them yet."
As Béar goes on, Dílis gazes dumbfounded at him. Apparantly exhausted by the effort of putting so many thoughts into speech, the big warrior sinks back to his chair.

Skáth also looks dumbfoundedly at Bear. Did he really just put all that together?
"I will still not say that the vast majority of the Daoine wish to expand their control and wish humans ill. I do not know the majority - nor do you - so we can not make that statement. To me it makes more sense that the daoine we met with Deasaigh may be working for the Maora. What are the chances that we would find all these Daoine in one place and all have something against Baidier?"

"Don't think my head has been turned by the Maora, I did not suggest that she should not be the main suspect, merely that we didn't have enough to accuse her." After a moment's consideration he adds, "I have to agree we need to insinuate ourselves into this state visit. If at all possible we should try to confront the Daoine here before we go. If they are not allied with the plot against the Maor they are still making trouble here. I hate to leave without making an attempt to take them out."

"And if the Maora herself is Daoine? Difficult to take her out without spoiling the state visit, and if we do that we might never find out what's really going on."

"I agree that we should accompany Maor. On the one hand, I beleive that we could do so openly if we request it, but if we do that, we may discourage open attacks against his party. On the other hand, if we surreptitiously follow them, the daoine may be emboldened, but we may not be in a position to thwart any attempt on Maor's life before the damage has been done." Cairn has the look of one who seeks guidance. "So this is why no man can be judge in a case that concerns himself!"

Maybe we could follow both paths? Skath here could scout ahead and from above. I may be known to them as assassin or whatever reason is they brought me here. It might be better if we are to split, one part of the group going officialy, the other following or riding ahead and resting and then watching over night.
As for additional info, I still think you should show me where you were attacked and where that guard you mentioned died. And any other place where somebody died or where strong emotion were in play.
You should know that before I became Bairdéir, I, with my family, was Coimirceoir deMarbh (Keeper of the Dead) for the royal family and King Aidrian, the ruler of Tóir gan Toradh and father to prince Amhran. Now, I am last of the Keepers and Bairdéir are only group I could find acceptance without much prejudice.
