Paridon Book II: A Taste For Power (IC)

[Rhun]

Skyler considers Darian's words. "Could not one serve the other?" he asks, his voice low. "In removing the drug from the street, perhaps we would come across further evidence of Alek's involvement?"

 

[Le Noir Faineant]

"Is it to get this vile drug off the street, or is it to convict Alec by whatever means necessary? Maybe it is something else completely?"

Calahan laughs, his voice rasping, as if someone rubbed to pieces of rusty metal against each other:

"I vote for Alek. Compared to what it would take to infiltrate the drug dealers,
this will be easier, quicker, and..." mocking grin to Darian, "certainly more satisfying. - Everyone here would enjoy nothing more than make this bastard bleed. So, why not listen to our guts this time?"

Ru frowns, shaking his head. "If Pigglemorth is right, then one of our own ignored the pleas of a citizen at best, or is on Alek's payroll at worst. If that's the case, we need to clean our own house first. Any case we may want to make against Alek is going to be tainted--or could be further undermined--by any inside man he has.

"I say we look at the rolls, see if we can find out of Pigglemorth's officer is actually one of ours."

 

[Rhun]

"Then let us find this man," says Skyer. "Where are the rolls kept?"

 

[Neurotic]

Eugene joins the discourse once everyone is out of the cell.

"We could split up. One or two of us could go through the rolls, while others ascertain several possible places to visit. Alek is high profile member and it should be fairly easy to find out which places he frequents and even what are on his payroll directly or indirectly."

 

[Tiali]

I be knowing the streets purty well. If I could see me a list of who were working that day in that part of the city, I could be telling you who our suspects be. Cliff rubs his beard some more.

If we be splitting up, I be going with the group to view the rolls. He declares.

"I can visit some of these 'dives.' However, it might be best if there was someone who knows that side of the city with me."

"Canvasing random places of ill repute seems like a lot of unfocused effort," Ru says. "But if this insider exists, I suspect we'll have a much more difinitive place to start looking. I suggest we don't expend any manpower on the street until then."

 

[Rhun]

Skyler nods, and then shrugs. "Perhaps, but we seem to be quite a large group for a simple task of pouring over the rolls, trying to determine who Pigglemorth reported to. And that is on the assumption that there really is an inside man; the constalbesfailure to report could simply be caused by laziness or a disbelief of Pigglemorth's report. We should attempt to find him, of course...but it may not get us anywhere."

 

[kinem]

"We need to do all three" Father Berman says. "Protect the public from the drug, deal with Alek, and find the officer Pigglemorth dealt with.

The gnome mentioned Edditomas' shop. We should have a look there as soon as possible. Also, we should take another look at the smouldering remains of Combledorn Manor."
