Into the Moral Darkness: IC

[Velmont]

[SBLOCK=OOC]One last thing, what is my official standing in the surroudning of the Baron. I mean if I go to, let's say, the religion office, would they know that I am a spy for the Baron (I hope not, if I am a spy is common knowledge, it is not a good thing ), or I'll be considered as one of the hunters of the Baron (after all, it is how he introduce me in his surroudning, as my background describe it). Just to be sure that if I decide to show up and ask question about Vecna, I won't be put automatically on teh heretic list (well, that is a bit extrem, but you see the picture).[/SBLOCK]

[Sblock=OOC]Venial is not known to be a spy except by the Baron and only the most high level personal guards. It wouldn't suit the Baron's reputation much if it was commonly known he uses spies. Of course, everyone knows that spies are a necessity in politics. But nobody wants to really know for sure who is the spy (or who are the spies). So that much you can be assured of.

As for walking into an office and requesting info on Vecna ... it'll depend on how Venial handles it. If he goes in and says something like "Don't tell anyone I was here asking, but what do you know about any potential cults of Vecna in the area ...." He'll likely be looked on suspiciously. If, however, Venial can put a good reason as to why the question is legitimate without making himself sound like a potential cultist ... then he'd be more likely to get further without drawing suspicion.

[SBLOCK=OOC]One last question, what Venial knows about Vecna?[/SBLOCK]

[Sblock=OOC] <--- @ one more question.

Given Venial's lack of knowledge: Religion .... Venial knows only basic stuff. He knows that followers are more likely to steal babies than hand them lollipops. [I.E. they're evil dudes.] He knows that they like to dwell in the realms of secrets, information, and magic ... but how much and to what extent would be lost to him. Venial would also be able to make a faint connection between Vecna and all those darn dagger-weilding assassins in the room below the chapel.

Venial heads toward the religion's office. He enters the rooms ans scans the place, a bit shy. As he see the secretary, he walks toward her. "Sorry. Is it possible to disturb you for a moment. I would like to have some information. I'm coming from a third person's who can come to the capital... and he would like to enter in contact with the minister of the religion. Is he here?"

 

[Nonlethal Force]

The secretary replies, "The mnister is here, but a very busy person. What is the nature of your need? Perhaps we needn't bother the minister."

 

[Velmont]

"I come from in the name of a friend, master of the guild of Mistrola. His work is preventing him to come here, and he would prefer discretion about this matter, but I think his position worth to disturb the minister for a quick moment, so he can listen to his request. If the minister judge it isn't to his level to answer his request, I can always come back to you." tells Venial, with firm convinction that his deeds need discretion as it is highly important.

The woman looks to Venial and replies, "Very good, sir. The chairperson that you seek is in a meeting. Do you desire to give me a time when you wish to return so that I may tell the chairperson to expect you or will you wait? It may be a matter of hours, though. I will warn you."

 

[Velmont]

"I can come back later. Start of the afternoon, do you think he will be there?" asks Venial.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

The secretary smiles. "I will check with the chairperson's schedule and arrange to meet immediately after the lunch hour. I'm sorry, though. I didn't catch your name and the name of the person that you are representing?"
