This time it seems that the man orchestrating the gathering of the group is finally here.Dressed in clothes similar to those worn by the clerks downstairs, but made from more expensive-looking materials, and with an air of assumed superiority, Tremance leaves everybody with a feeling similar to having a bad after-taste linger in one's mouth. "Tsch... I was hoping for a few more of you lot," he says, most likely not actually meaning for it to be heard. He then smiles, a smile reminding you of a street vendor. "I am glad to see such able-looking individuals. You're all probably already wondering what a clerk like me needs a... diverse group like yourselves for." As he speaks with a sweet voice, he moves to sit in the chair behind the desk, avoiding physical contact with everybody."The matter is simple: I suspect that one Covis, a boat owner, is doing something illegal. What that might be, I don't know, but I know that the records for expeditions lead by him contain errors almost as often as those lead by the other major boat owners combined."At this point, he pauses for a moment for dramatic effect and to let what he said sink in."What I need, are people who aren't in Covis's scheme, and that's where you come in. Newcomers are people who can't be in on the plan yet, so that's why you," it seems almost as the word "you" tastes bad in his mouth as he indicates Ghuntomas and Gregghor, "are here. However, I also needed other people. Grendel is here because he knows the city and the Harborside, while Damien is here as an expert," a sneer, questioning Damien's expertise, "on Towers-originating items and other such things."At this point, Tremance reclines a bit in his chair. "If you happen to be able to uncover Covis's plan, I'll pass word to my superiors -and thus indirectly to the Council. I'm sure we'll receive a reward, and a good impression in the Council can't hurt us."GhuntomasYou are not sure why, but it seems that Tremance is deliberately keeping one hand under the desk all of the time he talks.</blockquote>
