Into the Moral Darkness: IC

[Velmont]

"Only one person know how I escaped and knows some of my skills. And only one person outside that room knows that I am inside your estate. The Wall will stay silent as usual. All the others thinks it is Bertrand." confirm Venial.

"I was thinking you'll need to uncover the mole. I have some idea who it can be, but I have just impression and nothing worthy of telling about now. But I might have an idea to uncover him. You could control some leak of information. Give some misinformation to some person. Depending on which version reach Jairal's ears, you'll know from where it come from."

 

[Nonlethal Force]

The Baron smiles. "Indeed, that might work - assuming that there is only one mole. If there were more than one mole, it could only expose that I know his secret. Besides, I have been looking for a reason to support a new vassal anyway. This will give me enough reason to ensure that the people lose faith in him."

"The important thing is to give complementary informations. Not only you might have a good way to find more than one mole, but it would also prevent Jairal to see the trap, as he won't have information that contredict each other. That would put doubt into his mind." suggests Venial.

"You seems to have an idea on the way to find the mole. Do you need my help in it?"

 

[Nonlethal Force]

To Venial's first comment the Baron replies, "An interesting theory, do you have any suggestions as to the information I could plant since you were so close to him?"

To the second he adds, "I could use your help, but it would likely only put you further in danger. You have fulfilled your obligation to me enough."

 

[Velmont]

"I have an idea, not the best, but you could apply it in another way. Let's say you hae something to carry from or to the border. Something of value for some follower of Vecna, maybe some kind of artefact found on the demon land. You decide to carry it in a coach well guarded. To not attract too much attention on a single coach, you have, let's say, 6 coach that take 6 differents road. You take 6 possible moles, and tells them that they will have to take care of one of the lure coach. You don't tells which on is the good, only that the others will stop at a certain point. Now, depeding on which coach is attacked and where, you can see who is your mole. If a coach is not attacked, most likely it is because the repsonsible have spoken. Also, where is attacked the others coach will tell you who have spoken.

Surely, the artefact doesn't exist at all, or if it really exists, it is carried by a seventh coach, which one you have given to one person you trust." suggests Venial.

"Also, I am at your service. Wathever you choose for me, I'll follow. I am not affraid of danger, I have many ressources in my sleeves to avoid it or get out of it. But if you want to keep me on the side for teh moment, I'll understand too, you do not need to have all your card into play at all time."

 

[Nonlethal Force]

The Baron replies, "Let me think on that plan. I believe it may have merit. Do you have any perceptions from your time spent in the camp of the enemy as to who the mole may be? If so, I would ask you to take the next few days and generate a likely list. I will do the same with the captain of my guard. Shall we meet in two days time? Would that give you enough time to do your own investigation?"

 

[Velmont]

"Yes, it should give me enough time to figure some possible mole. For what Jairal seeks, except another spy to kill and expose, I can't tell. I was more concerned to not get caught, for but my life and your honor, than to figure a way to trap him. But the person who saved me might know more. If we need to know, I might be able to find the information if I am given the time, as approaching her will not be easy if I don't want to be seen." replies Venial.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

"Very well, take two days and report back to me. I'll leave it up to you if you desire to seek the one who saved you. I would ask the person's name so as to reward them, but my guess is that would only endanger them."

"You should realize, of course, that a disguise this elaborate will not be needed to approach me once you make it know that you are in town. Your normal routine will do, preferably not at my dinner hour, too?" The Baron smiles playfully as if to tease but not imply that he had been offended.

 

[Velmont]

"For the reward, there might be a way. I'll have to contact that person if I ever go near the Quehalost Mountains in the next month. For now, I have no reason to go there, but if I am free, I might repay my debt. But for now, there is a mole and I'll concentrate on that." replies Venial.

"I'll go. But if you prefer, I can disturb you during your bath." he adds on the same amusing tone, being not serious on that last matter.

He cast his last disguise spells his mental energy allow him and head toward the exit, going back to his house... As he leave the room, he wonders if the guard at the door have heard of Bertrand actions.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Bertrand is able to get out of the mansion unhindered, especially since he is nearly escorted by the captain of the guard. The captain does not walk with a posture of watchfulness, rather he walks as if he is protective of Venial and desires him to have an easy exit out of the mansion now that his business is complete. None of the door guards bother Venial on his way out of the mansion.

Once he leaves the Baron's complex, Venial is able to get to his apartment (or some other destination).
