[QUOTE="Dichotomy, post: 5594028, member: 12941"] As Kushnak and Erdolliel posit courses of action, Eligos appears lost in thought. Nethezar looks at Erdolliel and shakes his head. [color=orange]"If Raknian is popular with the Free City government, as Eligos says, the City Guard will be of no use. Even if they aren't actually in league with Raknian, they would protect him unless they were sure of his wrongdoing. Which means that if we told the Guard, certainly word would get back to Raknian. Raknian wanted us dead because he found out that we were involved. But he does not yet know that [i]we know[/i] he was behind the plot to assassinate us. The less certain he is of our actual knowledge, the more cautious he has reason to be."[/color] Though only half-listening, Eligos also picked up Nethezar's point. [color=blue]"It would be difficult to overstate Raknian's influence in the Free City. If Raknian knew how close you are to actually exposing him, he would have substantially greater resources than even the illithid to throw at you. "This... Investigator Gust... could be a good avenue. Though he may lack the resources..."[/color] Eligos pauses, and the sage gets a sparkle in his eye. Erdolliel hears him mumble to himself about "killing two birds." [color=blue]"I know a way that you could, as Kushnak suggests, find cause to get close to Raknian, if not meet him outright. Are you familiar with the Champion's Games? They are a contest in the Free City Arena, which starts in only a few days. I have a friend who came to me seeking a group of heroes to sponsor in the Champion's Games. While 'gladiator' is not too far removed from 'adventurer,' this may be just the disguise Kushnak wanted."[/color] [/QUOTE]
