Message: <blockquote data-quote="Seravin" data-source="post: 2728026" data-attributes="member: 6783">Moving into PositionKellron received the sending just before lunch at Broken Spire Keep.We have a lead on Ashimar.  Return to Sword House today.  JaredWe’ll return after lunch.Lunch was nice affair of roast fowl.  Afterwards Kellron and Jallarzi teleported back to Corlean.  Tore stayed behind to keep an eye on Broken Spire.  What none of them realized was that a spy was already riding towards Corlean to let Father Dark know that Field Captain Kellron had come home.---Semina is a relatively common name in the Duchy of Larence.  It was one of the reasons that Kestral picked it for her cover identity.  Semina was also the best suited to get her into the places she desired.  Beth was known to Grandal and Aeva was too physically direct.  Semina was a people person though and willing to follow the local rules.It took only a few days for Semina to track down a possible job at the Blue Gorgon.  The Gorgon is a gaming house that serves the gambling middle-class of Corlean.  Unknown to most is that it‘s owned by the Holtson family.  Because of its somewhat poorer clientele the Blue Gorgon is not normally known as a high-stake gambling house.  It is known for its pretty and slightly-dressed servers.Unfortunately for the Blue Gorgon a few of its servers had fallen sick recently, some even disappearing, just as management brought in some new advisors.  Thus, Semina found that the Blue Gorgon was desperately looking for some additional serving staff.  Normally the plain looking woman wouldn’t have met the high standards of house, but the young woman had an undeniable presence and they were desperate.Semina’s only instructions were to show up on time, use more makeup, and that if she was nice to the customers, then more than of few of them would tip her more than she could earn in a week.  Semina smiled prettily, clapped her hands, and made the hiring manager feel like he was the most important person in her universe.  She had a job.---By evening’s end Kellron, Ashimar, Jallarzi, and Aerseleth had agreed to meet the demands of the note.  The next evening they would head to the Blue Gorgon and begin the process of losing money; though none of them was happy with it.Jared’s sending to Kestral that evening revealed that she had been hired at the Gorgon.  No one commented on the odd coincidence of Kestral finding a job at the very place they were about to meet an extortiante demand.  Instead they counted their luck and hoped for the best.  They were all hoping that Grandal would show up, make a mistake, and allow himself to be hauled away to justice.  Later events would show that is almost what happened, though not quite the way anyone would have guessed.</blockquote>
