The Four Lands

[J. Alexander]

Angelo - the neighborhood

Scratching his head Thaddeus says "Well so far the neighborhood is nervous but that is to be expected. Anytime a war is going on, people get nervous and unsteady. If we can make this a quick war, then they will be all for the change as Roderick is hated, but if it drags on for some time and the innocent body count gets high, then we will garner no good will from it. But for now with the baking of the merchants you talked to last night, we seem to be doing fine. They dont have to pay any dues while the war is going on so if it ends by the time they have agreed to start paying again, we should be well off as they will have a little extra money in their pockets for new goods etc..

Pausing sligtly he will contine " As to Rodericks men, we should put our bully boys on the streets and start making very public examples of them when we catch them"

"Yes, we need a strong showing on the street. We want the word to get out that Rodericks fellows are to leave the city--dead or alive. We don't care which. I'm told none of them is worth recruiting, is that your estimation as well Thaddeus?" Angelo yawns, "I've got to get a little rest then make a showing of my own. Do you think if we were to let it out where I might be found, some of Rodericks fellow might try something? I'd love to get them to come to us, so we could take care of them quickly. Preferably someplace where no innocent bystanders are likely to get hurt."

 

[J. Alexander]

"Yes i would agree, they are nothing but the dregs of a scum pond. As they usually dont work till night, I would say you have about 5 hours to rest before it starts. That will have given them time to rest from last night, get over the shock and feel bold and brave."

"What are the odds of us setting an ambush for them?"

Angelo - the neighborhood

Taking a few moments to think it over Thaddeus says "I don't really know, they are going to be scared and most likely travelling in packs as the word is defeintly out that Crusher and the Bonebreakers have thrown in with you" Turning to Crusher he comments "Tell your men they did an excellent job in making Roderick such a spectale, the entire neighborhood is abuzz with how he was found" Thaddeus faces then gets kinda of an evil cheerful glee and he says "In fact lol the constables refused to touch him and sent for the marshal to look at the body. Heard tell that more than one of the law dogs lost his breakfeast"

"Back to your question though, I think by putting a heavy prescene on the street ande actively looking for them will cause more than a few to run away. It may also reassure the merchants that your seeking to wrap the entire affair up quickly"

"Alright, I'll bite, tell me about Roderick. I agree we need a strong presence on the street. I'll try to be visible as well. Armed to the teeth, but visible. I'm staying at Mother Abigails. Do you think they'll try something there? I don't want to bring trouble to that house."

Angelo - The Neighborhood

Evilly grinning Thaddeus says "Well to start with, ever bone in his body was smashed he looked flatter than a pancake, more akin to a stuffed scarcrow than a man. Then moving onto the good stuff, his manparts were found crushed and sewn into his mouth. His eyelids had been sewn open and the eyeballs pricked....then you had your various odds and in such as cuts and such.....nothingmuch mind you but it did get peoples attention"


Pausing in his glee Thaddeus says "No you will be safe there, should harm come to anyone under that roof then the entire poplace of the neighboohood would be set against them.. Yep that is perhaps the safest place in the neighborhood"

"Well no one will fault your throughness. And that should send a strong message, nicely done. If there is nothing else, I'll try to grab a couple of hours of sleep."

Angelo - Resting

Fifteen minutes of brisk walking brings Angelo to the Mother Abigail's gate. Quickly climbing the stairs to his room he finds tepid water in the basin. Looking around the room, nothing seems amiss but in the center of the bed all strecthed out is a cat. A famiallar voice says "I wont do it, I wont share a room with a feline. I have not gotten a wink of sleep tonight for fear of my life"

"Now Bodie, I don't think are furry friend here represents a threat. You may perch outside if you'd feel safer. I'll work on a 'protection from felines' spell for you if you are really that conserned." Angelo washes up and checks the latches on doors and windows before getting into bed. "Wake me just before noon since you can't sleep anyway Bodie." With that Angelo removes his armor, washes up a bit, puts on a nightshirt and slips into bed. He places the staff in bed with him one hand resting on it.
