The Enemy Within: Shadows Over Bögenhafen

[Dr Simon]

Gorim and Garold at the Schaffenfest

"Oh, old Gottri Gurnisson? He was back in the stocks again about half an hour after you paid his fine, drunk and disorderly. I don't know what became of his after that."

Magistrate Richter looks down at his paperwork, seemingly dismissing the matter, but then thinks again.

"No, wait, I had him released at the end of the fair, last saw he was wandering into town in the company of a liveried servant. A red rose, one of the merchant families. House Teugen, I think."

"Teugen, Teugen... does it deal with specific wares or is it a 'general' merchant house?"

"A merchant's guild you say. Curious. You wouldn't happen to have any tomes that might detail their history would you?"

 

[FourMonos]

"Right, any other guilds that also use a rose? You know, so we don't confuse them."

 

[Dr Simon]

Gorim, Garold and the Magistrate

"The Teugens deal in trade of all kinds, as I understand it," says Richter. "From Stirland to Bretonnia. Bögenhafen is at a useful crossroads for road and river, you see. The four Guild families can make a good profit just moving goods from one place to another. They're the only family with the rose livery, you couldn't mistake them for the other three, Haagen, Ruggbroder and Steinhäger. Of course, there are many lesser trading companies, and it could have been one of the minor nobles who've come for the jousting. But listen to me, gossiping like a fishwife. This is no way for a Magistrate of the town to behave."

Aaryn and Kildrak, Temple of Verena

"We've got some information on them, yes. They're about as old as Bögenhafen itself, in one form or another. I'll see what I can find." The priestess starts for the shelves and then turns back. "Of course, you could always ask the Guild themselves, at their Guildhall. It's just over the road, on the other side of Bergstrasse. You might want to put on some more fur and gold before you talk to them, though. Now... those scrolls..."

 

[Neurotic]

"I'll ask at the Rathaus. Very kind of you. Now, about those histories..."

EDIT: re-reading DMs post says clearly AT THE RATHAUS...you know what's worse? I speak german enough to know better

 

[Walking Dad]

OOC: "Rathaus" is German for "townhall/guildhall". A place, not a person.

Aaryn, ever the discreet elf

"I would prefer to learn as much about them as possible before speaking with them. I have my reasons. I would also be happy to make a donation to the church of Verena in exchange for your discretion in this matter."

So, did we get anything?
