Heroes, Inc. : Rasheman

"I am very sorry Mother, we tried to contact the Rashemi spirits, but apparently they were not interested in speaking to some strange celestials." Taavi told her apologetically.

Alethia smiled. "It's alright, you did your best," she said. "For now, it might be best if the two of you do not show yourself too openly in this city. Too many saw you aid Timrin and the others and may view you with some suspicion."

Alethia grinned at Maggie. "Remember, Shando may look like a beggar, but he is rarely dirty and hardly unarmed even if he doesn't use a sword or bow." she said dryly. "Besides, I highly doubt that the Thayans rely solely on visable descriptions. I suspect that being so steeped in magic that they use mystical means as well." she pointed out.

"The series of attacks eventually eroded the witches' support. Also, Geberath began giving Tiger Clan warriors witch-like powers, through a ritual performed with a flaming sabretooth tiger skull, much like in our emblem, in a cavern below House Milshilar, which we accessed through tunnels from the Tiger Clan Lodge."
..........
"Geberath came to power in the Tiger Clan Lodge five years ago. He has only been the head of House Milshilar for about two years, after his uncle and cousins were arrested for various criminal activities. The Tiger Clan Lodge was harshly criticized for failing to prevent the Milshilars' crimes, and thus Geberath took control of the house himself to clear his name and his family. Since then, neither has been implicated in shady dealings. In fact, if I recall correctly, that Wyclarkyn Inquisitor you had with you was the very same one who took House Milshilar down the last time. Hard to forget, as she much mocked the Tiger Clan Lodge for failing to catch the purpetrators of so many known crimes."

"I do not know of anyone noteworthy in jail, but I probably would not know if there were."

He explains that some of the tattoos are magical, but he does not think that the identification aspects of them are. He explains their meanings, but he doe not know much about how to make them, or even generally what the ingredients in the ink are.

"I have but one further question for now... Do you know of a Zarun Family? The current patron married into the family. His wife is a native Rashemi."

Kayla says "I will meet with Geberath alone. I have had dealings with him in the past. I must at a minimum intercede on my brother's behalf."

Maggie says "We can so leave this temple! Some minor magical disguises are all we need. Besides, they were looking for a bunch of dirty, unarmed beggers" She turns to Shando, suddenly realizing that she didn't think that through "which helps two of us, I guess."

Timrin looks at Maggie sourly, "C'mon Maggie, you are far too intelligent to actually believe the Thayans haven't already gotten past that feeble disguise. They should know I'm a Paladin AND they may have recognized Raku's Bane. Put those two together and they can probably figure out who we were fairly quickly."

To Kayla, "We have no authority over you, you can do as you will. However, facing this Geberath alone sounds foolish especially if he already has an axe to grind against you."

To Kayla, "We have no authority over you, you can do as you will. However, facing this Geberath alone sounds foolish especially if he already has an axe to grind against you."

Maggie says "It is not that they Thayans lack that capability, but that they lack the capability to tranit the information to large numbers of people who cannot be fooled by simple illusions and canvas the whole city looking for us. The average patrol won't be able to pick us out."

Kayla says "I understand the risks. Better than you do, for sure. We all should get going. We all have jobs to do. I'm going to go prepare now."

"I have but one further question for now... Do you know of a Zarun Family? The current patron married into the family. His wife is a native Rashemi."

I do not know, but if they aren't from around here, I would only know famous family names. If you knew the wife's maiden name, I would be a lot more likely to have some idea though. (You guys do not know it)

Maggie answers "Ok, I'll give you the not dirty part. He still does APPEAR to be unarmed, though."

Shando raises an eyebrow at Maggie's comments. "While there are some element of truth to your comments, its good to see that the Waterdhavian intelligence corps still emphasises diplomacy. It is my understanding that I am very hard to detect by magical means. I may be able to make my way through the city."

Naverone is still discretely listening into the questioning of the captive and relays the information to Alethia. "Kayla, do you know the wife of Zarun's maiden name? Her family name that is?" she asked and explained why she asked that odd question.

Heh, Diplomacy is NOT a skill Maggie has invested in highly. She was in intellegence, but she was not a spy. Her duties involved research, analysis, and going after bad guys with a bunch of soldiers in tow.

OOC: So, in effect, Shando is correct.
