Knights of the Chord? Heroes? In my experience, they are nothing more than dangerous meddlesome rogues. Malikar remembers his dwarven mentor Hendel maligning bards as worthless layabouts; Malikar didn't exactly share those views. He appreciated an entertaining performance as much as the next man, and recognized their skills at manipulation and song. Still, their attitudes towards life were dangerous and irresponsible, and their use in any adventuring group was likely to be less than stellar.
Still, Morden apparently respected them, and an ally to aid in the infiltration of House Vladaam would be useful. Was what he proposed doing, was it stealing? Was it wrong? Bargaining with Vladaam would be unlikely to work, and one certainly couldn't invade it by force. Perhaps I could visit the Church of Lothian and talk with a knowledgable priest to consult about the morality of my plan.
But should Morden go to the Knights alone? Perhaps I should go along as well to make sure nothing ill-advised happens.
I'll go with Morden to meet with these Knights of the Chord. A meeting with a possible ally will be more demanding than a simple report of information. Also, I need to stop by with the Church alone.

Morden speaks directly at Malikar, "I see a bit of distress in your words, Malikar. Just remember that deeds thought is not the same deeds acted. The role of the holy warrior is often a lonely one. Remember that methods are only as important as the cause."
...and then to the others, "We're off."

Titus makes his way to the Ghostly Minstrel. The inn has both a dining room and a taproom or great size. Dozens of patrons are present, despite the early hour, feasting on venison, pork loins and sage, beefsteak and gravy, and more.
After asking around, Titus learns that Jevicca Norr usually comes in late in the evening. He passes the time until she does arrive, glad in green as before.
-----------------------------
Malikar and Morden make their way to the Jodan Templehall. One of the squires informs them that Nicalon Regelis is not present, but they are welcome to leave a message.
After returning to the their rooms, they receive a message in return. Nicalon requests a meeting at a tavern in Midtown called the Griffon.
When they arrive at the Griffon, they are introduced to a tall, thin, dark-skinned man. His manner is courteous and straightforward.
------------------------------
Krug relaxes at the inn, enjoying a drink or two before setting off to gather information. He is quite surprised when a courier arrives with a message addressed to himself and the other party members. It is from a man named Danneth Sonnell at Mahdoth's Asylum. It seems that an inmate has been asking for the party.
-------------------------------
Verakka and Fallon conduct an investigation of the Vladaam estate. It is roughly square, 500 feet by 400 feet in area. The walls around the grounds are 12 feet high and made of large blocks of stone. The single set of gates leading into the grounds is made of iron bars. The yard inside is one of rolling hills covered by a well-manicured lawn. Trees and shrubs are common; large, thick patches of them cover much of the grounds.
There are four buildings on the estate in addition to the manor itself: a guard house, a stable, a kennel, and an outbuilding in the east corner.

Fallon, peeking through the bushes, says "I think we should try the servents entrance. I can try to 'apply' for a job at the estate and work from the inside. Of course that will take time for me to get any information. What do you suggest Verakka?"

Verakka looked at the Estate, thenat the Halfling I can alter my appearance to appear as one of the Guards or Servants. Alternately, as a human looking for employ, perhaps a Mercinary? Verakka then set his little Viper down, telling her to go and reconnoiter the immediate area, looking for dogs or guards.

Malikar greets Nicalon with a hearty handshake, testing his strength. He then sits down opposite the man.
Greetings. My name is Malikar di Tandaer. I understand that you are an enemy of House Vladaam. My friends and I seek your aid and consul about said house.
Despite trying to sound friendly, Malikar comes off cold and distant, and he can't help not trusting the man. I'm being silly and prejudiced, Malikar thinks to himself. I have no reason not to trust this man. By most accounts, the Knights of the Chord are good people who fight against injustice and tyrrany. Is this Hendel's dislike of bards rubbing off on me? Am I being unfair?
