OOC: OK we need a plan..

Zarun wants a meeting with us tomorrow.

I think we better hit the bricks and get ourselves a new sponsor or three before then. Remember, we really need a sponsor that will allow us a great deal of freedom to operate. If we are contracted to sit around and guard his palace all day we have effectively taken ourselves out of the fight.

1) Quickly take the Deceiver around our compound looking to see if any Rakshasa have tried to infiltrate our group (employees or patients). Maybe Alethia, Dyria, Murdock can do this?

1a) Timrin to talk with Maggie.

2) Deceiver to accompany negotiating team when addressing potential employers.

3) Meet again this evening to finalize approach to meeting with Zarun and discuss potential employers.


Any thoughts people?

1. The Deceiver agrees to help with the sweep and the employer search. No disguised baddies are found anywhere in the base.

1a. After a bit of nagging, Sharna takes Timrin back to Maggie. On the way, she gives Timrin a mischievious look and says "I know it isn't my business...well, I guess it is my BUSINESS in the sense that it's my PROFESSION (laughs)...And in that I was stuck conforting her when she crawled into a bottle the other night after you ignored her...but anyway, some unsolicited advice: Maggie has made her interest quite obvious. Make a choice and talk to her about it. I'm not saying you should do it now...obivously certain choices work better than others to handle now rather than delay. But all I'm saying is that you owe it to her to make a choice sooner than later."

2. Everyone fears striking against Aiden so openly. A number of churches and nobles houses are willing to consider further sponsorship, however. It seems that you can count on some level of support form most of those who supported Aleena. Importantly, Texter is also supporting you.

OCC: Yeah, congrads Hawkeye!

Murdoch will spend a lot of time with the Deceiver. After scanning our stronghold, Murdoch will roam the streets (invisible) with him (with proper hidden escorts for extra protection), to scout out some of Zarun's top folks as well as other key nobles and dignitaries (including Lareal, if possible).

The goal is of course to get a feel for whom has been replaced.

His face somber, Timrin nods silently to Sharna's advice. Their is some emotion there but whether it is love, sorrow, or pity she has no idea. He leaves her at the door as he enters the infirmary.

He puts on a smile and strides purposefully up to Maggie's bedside. "Hey Maggie, I heard you were up and about. How are you feeling?"

She looks up at him tiredly and says "Well, 'up and around' may be a slight exaggeration, but they tell me I'll live. What in the Nine Hells happened last night?"

She looks up at him tiredly and says "Well, 'up and around' may be a slight exaggeration, but they tell me I'll live. What in the Nine Hells happened last night?"

Timrin's eyes widen in surprise. 'Has no one told her anything?' he wonders. 'This is going to be painful for both of us'.

"Last night was several days ago Maggie. Much has changed... for the worse." he says sadly.

"The coach was attached by an elite Thayan team. You were beaten so badly... it was... close for several minutes. Alethia and Dyria went down in the initial assault. Lady Aleena...", he looks down at the floor and figits uncomfortably, "Lady Aleena was killed. Instantly."

He sighs heavily and waits several seconds before continuing.

"Unarmored and unprepared... it might have gone worse for us had Murdock and Shando not risen to the occassion. Murdock's quick thinking surely saved your life. The timely arrival of a messenger of Selune also helped."

"Fighting erupted all around the city that night. Many nobles and dignitaries suffered similar attacks. Many that attended the party have died. The city is still trying to account for everyone."

"Aiden's men helped quell the chaos and his status has risen because of it. It is only a few days removed yet he already pushes to be named Open Lord. With few, if any, remaining to resist him it seems very likely he will suceed. He has asked for a meeting with us on the morrow to discuss our place in this new regime."

"Waterdeep is in shambles Maggie. The rest of Faerun is crumbling as well. A vast horde of goblinoids and giants have marched from the north savaging all in their path. Cormyr and Sembia are at war. Traditional allies and members of the Lord's Alliance are preoccupied with their own troubles."

"We have reached a turning point in this war. Unless we can come up with some decisive counters...." he trails off shaking his head hopelessly.

Maggie tries to form words, but instead rolls onto her side, buries herself in her pillow and cries.

OOC: Back. All is well. Will try to get caught up in the next day or 2.
