Maya will wait to see what the Marshal has to offer, and Bael will turn up at about the same time that Tristan and Jerrigan come back from the Marshal (he, too, is in the position of already having a job. For the moment.)Tristan and Jerrigan:Citadel Volshyenek is in Midland, overlooking Jeggare Harbour. It is home to the Korvosan Guard, but currently staffed by a nervous-looking skeleton crew. Waving your scroll, you are taken to Field Marshal Cressida Kroft, a human woman in red armour, dark hair cut to a short bob. She looks rather tired and harassed, but politely bids you to sit and calls for some refreshment."I see the Queen has recommended you to me. So you're the ones who brought Gaedran Lamm to book? Well done, the man's been a thorn in our side for years. I won't say that officially I approve of vigilantism, but, off the record, I'm glad you did what you did."A servant brings a steaming pot of Vudran coffee, which the Field Marshal pours for everyone."Now, to business. You've seen what it's like on the streets at the moment. My men are stretched thin trying to maintain order, what with this damned embargo, and every man and his dog using the King's death as an excuse to run riot. We need every bit of help we can get, and I'd like to retain your services as agents of the Guard, if you are willing. Needless to say, you'll be well compensated for these services. Interested?"[SBLOCK=Crispin]Judge Zanderholm sits back in her chair, steeples her fingers and gazes over her half-moon spectacles."I am a Justice of the Law in this city," she says gravely. "But the law can sometimes work very slowly. There are small criminals who slip through the nets. Although their crimes may be minor in the eyes of the other Judges, they still have very real victims. And a lot of small criminals adds up to a big problem."She leans forwards."Your friend Lady Thrune was helping me investigate these smaller criminals, gathering information in order to expedite arrest. So many trials overturned by lack of evidence, one could weep, if one was so inclined. Gaedran Lamm was one such blood-sucking stirge, but some reckless vigilantes have put an end to him. Another she was investigating was Devargo Barvasi, so-called King of the Spiders. But when she disappeared she was looking into a new problem, some group of thugs in North Point calling themselves the Cow Hammer Boys."Zanderholm stares at Crispin with an appraising eye."I don't know if she's alive or dead," she says. "She knew the job was dangerous, but.... I suppose I still feel responsible for her somehow. What I need is someone to help me look for her, perhaps continue the work she started."[/SBLOCK]</blockquote>
