Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nonlethal Force" data-source="post: 3325214" data-attributes="member: 35788">In the course of time after making the letter, Venial is able to legitimately speak to two employees of the Baron's estate on the subject.  Both of these employees seem to be of a fairly insignificant rank, although the second is a secretary of one of the chairperson's  (He didn't say which one).[Sblock=Snippets]Rather than RP out the whole of the conversations, here are a couple of the snippets that Venial gleaned.From the first, a middle aged seemingly human female: "Don't like the man, myself.  He thinks that he's bigger and more powerful than his is.  He's a braggart, and often a liar, too.  Ultimately, though, what he proposes is to put his own people in power and put all of us out of jobs.  The gods all know that if he was to succeed in his plan to become the elected official that all those in the Baron's estate would be out of work.  And not a one of us would get hired by Newburg, of course.  Some of us have mouths to feed, you know?"From the second, a young well dressed male: "Officially, I don't know the man.  From what I hear around the office and around town, I think he plays with a stacked deck, if you know what I mean.  I don't think the deck that he plays with has very many cards under the value of 5, but I bet he's got more aces in the deck than four.  In fact, if I can continue the analogy, I wouldn't be surprised if his deck actually contains about 60 cards and the extras are all aces, too.  All that I know is that I'd not want to get into a war against him.  And I think that while he boasts a lot, his power base is not overstated."That is about all that Venial can get out of the conversations before it is time to go meet the chairperson of religion.[/Sblock]</blockquote>
