I am not sure i like the use of that word. Well i suppose it is easy enough to find out about an artefact. The next step would bring the name and whereabouts of its owner. I do not make a habit of advertising my dealings, but i make no effort to hide them either. 'As i said, i am not a man of the Cage and faction politicking is centred in that city. My knowledge is limited - what a trader would learn in his travels, you could say. As a faction, the Sons of Mercy - or Martyrs, as most bloods call them - beleive in good and the existence of justice to uphold that good. But cells exist in all factions, and what these mens' beliefs are, and how they diverge from the factions' core, i cannot say. 'It may be strange to your ears, but despite its infinite scale, the Great Wheel is a small place and news travel quickly when it wants to be discovered. As regards how they found me; I procured the weapon off a dealer in Tradegate - a border town in the Outlands that leads to the plane of Bytopia; which, if my knowledge of planar geography serves me correctly, is the home of the Martyrs. The gnomes of tradegate are not a particularly scretive posse. If paid for information they would give it. If they got my name, it would have been a (relatively) simple matter of following me all the way here. That is one way the story could ahve unfolded,' says Beni, exhaling. 'I do not think they will be pleased to hear this, but... like you, i feel we should take this to the Sheikh. From there i will personally try to persuade him to lend them the weapon. I only hope he is in a good mood when we meet him. He is not known for wanton generostiy, especially to folk not of his realm.'But that is a problem for the future. We have enough to think of now,' he says, nodding to the Martyr's ship. He waves to Kergal who is looking attentively, and whispers. 'Be peery. if things escalate into blow i want you ready. try not to draw blood - i have no quarel with these men and the last thing i want is their souls on my concience. Drive them off the ship... should it come to that.' Drahluut and Derrick nod their approval, though the nerra seems suspicous of his captains trust in what he would call no more than 'mercenaries'. He regards you (the PC's) and turns to the crew, whispering commands. Derrick stands beside Beni as the Martys board the shipThey are unaccompained, and, for the moment are not hostile.OOC: any last minute actions, now is the time <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> - i will give everyone a chance to post now, to make sure no one is left out</blockquote>
