Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aust Thale" data-source="post: 8979202" data-attributes="member: 6804768">Falen:Watching the others' exchange with Reginald Oakfirst, Falen is indeed vexed.  He begins to pace, hands clasp behind him, and then reaching for the letter in his pocket that Lord Max had sent with him.  Information was tradecraft.  He wasn't in the habit of breaking confidence, regardless of the reason.  He was not particularly beholden to law or chaos; they served their purpose in the moment.  However, the law of unintended consequences and the chaos of breaking it were forefront in his mind.  Nevertheless, he had information that might be useful.  He would attempt to be judicious about protecting Avitus, as Lord Max would have it.  However, leads might be worthwhile.  To Oakfirst, "Lord Commander, my original purpose here was directed otherwise.  And given the widespread events of late, I didn't consider sharing the information urgent.  The Ticinium Delegacy has at least one casualty:  Legatus Avitus.  I will presume that you knew him. Assassinated ahead of my arrival to bring him personal correspondence.  Praefectus Casca insisted on secrecy regarding Legatus' passing upon my arrival, concerned of how it might be interpreted.  Given the events of late, Casca perhaps believed it was part of a wider plan.  He wanted no taint upon the Delegacy, as assassinations typically mean treachery, and there has been much of that afoot.  Could Avitus have been in possession of knowledge that would compromise the Five or any other part of Bluffside to the Dusk, or to Waldo?"Falen does not share the letter's contents with the Lord Commander or the others.  It is clear that Legatus was of some import to both Waldo and the Dusk, and Falen would like to establish what that value happened to be before telling the whole story.  "I was on my way to see Lady Nazaria after you, Commander.  She is distant family to the Legatus.  I thought it only proper to offer my condolences.  Could she be of interest in solving yet another puzzle/murder?"[SPOILER="Housekeeping Info So Player of Falen Can Recall Names"] Praefectus Casca ; Lady Oppia Nazaria; Scribe Amphion; Rising Swords; The Dusk; Legatus Avitus [/SPOILER]</blockquote>
