Fall of the Broken

Targaniskava looks up, clearly surprised, but his features calm down as he recognizes you, "Ah, my friend. Nothing of note; how's the missus?" before you understand why he's acting so out of character, you feel a touch of kesh. "A great deal of things have happened, that I don't know whether to dismiss or not."

"First, a lieutenant of the Watch was brutally cut down on the street today; a good friend of mine. An elf - Valenar, by the looks of him - flashes in your mind briefly.
Second, the Riedran Ambassador - who've been out of town the last few weeks - has apparently been succeeded by someone I've been unable to identify.
Thirdly, I worry for my own personal safety. I may guard the rich, but I live anywhere but. Daask activity near my home has increased, and though I've not yet been hurt"
You feel a stab of fear through the mindlink. "I fear it's only a matter of time."

Olot, and Frundor you see Hashkavak stop up to talk with his friend, who seems entirely unconcerned and says but a few quick words, yet the two seem as locked in conversation as any you can remember.

Meredith, you notice a man dressed in glamerweave clothing exiting the inn and your eyes briefly make eye-contact before he looks away and successfully manages to hide between the other people on the street. You are sure, however, that the man entered the inn shortly after you, Hashkavak and Finn and has chosen to leave now, just a short moment later.

Finn you are, however, surprised to find a gargoyle walk clumsily over to you, with an envelope in his hand. It's rough voice only says: "To you. From Medani" before forcing the envelope into your hand and takes off.

[sblock="Letter"]Dear Mr. Kincadd,
I would request your discretion regarding my daughter and her ill-advised decisions this previous night. I am sure we can come to an arrangement.

Regards,
Trelib d'Medani[/sblock]

Olot whispers to Frundor, Mind reader? They have to be talking, even though they are not. I must admit, it seems the only way. Olot realizes the potential danger of a mind reader and figets nervously.
 

"She's doing fine, we're thinking about taking a holiday in Thrane and doing a tour of the cathedrals now that they've finally opened up since Thronehold"
Through kesh "How, tragic about your friend, I will look into this matter after my mission. I wonder what could be happening in Riedra, what a shame that the ambasador was deposed, we had such good tabs on him. Of course that may be the reasoning, which means we may be in greater danger than we originally thought. Be careful with Daask, they may not be agents of the darkness, but they certainly seek to unwittingly spread it's influence, tread carefully with them. May il-Yanna protect your path my brother."
 

Meredith frowns. She'll tell everyone once they gather again, but Hashkavak seems to be trying to keep tabs on things and he already knows about her abilities..

[sblock=mcnathan80]For a moment, Hashkavak hears Meredith's voice in his mind.
Sorry to interupt, but I think someone's been watching us.
The contact is fleeting, so Hashkavak can't respond and likely does't have all the information.[/sblock]

Meredith manifests missive, targetting Hashkavak. She moves to the side of the path to try to keep people from noticing and attempts to dispense with the display--Unsuccessfully, so anyone within 15 feet of Meredith or Hashkavak "hears" a small mental chime for an instant.
 

Hashkavak you see Targaniskava manage the two conversations almost flawlessly, clearly a practiced skill: "Ah, sounds interesting, my brother, let me know how it goes.
"But I'd better be leaving; dawdling won't keep vermin out of my home,"

"May your fortunes be better than mine. Il-Yanna's light upon you"
His face shows signs of surprise for a moment, as the mental chime sounds, and he asks: "A protegé? Tell her to watch the noise," with these words you feel the mindlink break and Targaniskava starts to turn around to leave.

As you hear Merediths warning your suspicions are confirmed, out of the corner of your eye do you see a middle-aged man dressed in glamerweave move past you at a leisurely pace, though he is clearly watching you; he seems familiar somehow, though you cannot immediately connect the face.
As soon as the man realizes that he's been spotted he makes a snap decision and enters through the door of the nearest store: "Shiltan's - Fine Silverware"

Meredith, you (unfortunately) do not spot the man again.
 

"I'm afraid things have become disadvantageous to us my friend. First this man appears to talk telepathically to our 'friend'. He only knows what did that man tell him. And now we face an uncomfortable doubt. I suggest to act naturally, and prey to not cross any person that can recognize us." Frumbor whispers back to Olot.
 

"And upon you too my brother."
Walking back to the group Hashkavak lets them in on what Meredith told him. "Change of plans guys, it seems we have a visitor. I'm going to go in and see what this guy wants with us. Finn, Meredith, we're going to need to do this quietly, so come with me. Olot, Frundor I want you to guard the doors in case this guy tries to escape, please be careful, I'd like to be able to question this person so let's keep him alive" he says leveling his gaze at Olot. "Okay let's do this," he says, walking to Shiltan's Fine Silver.

[sblock=OOC]I'm walking in and if I can spot him I'm dropping a charm person on him. DC 15 will save, +12 bluff check to avoid being noticed[/sblock]
