"I will consult with Crusher on such matters. What about our lady friend from last night (the barmaid) do you think we can set her up in business with her girls? That's a trade we can't aford to loose control of. I have another matter I'd like to discuss. What can you tell me about a local character calling himself the 'Honest Man'?"

Angelo - The Office

As they discuss the barmaid and her sideline, Angelo and Thaddeus come to the decesion to have Thaddeus schedule a meeting with her either late tonight or tomorrow monring"

Looking somewhat startled when hears that name Thaddeus says "The Honest Man".."where did you hear that from" pausing he says "Yeah i know a little about him"

Glad he is able to startle Thaddeous, he says, "I have reason to believe that Roderick either tried to move in on the man's territory or tried to form and alliance and was soundly rebuffed."

OOC: I had to do a little reading back, I had forgotten the letter in Roderick's pocket from the 'Honest Man'.

Angelo - The Office

"Well if he is dealing with "The Honest Man" he either had or Knew something of itnerste to him or he was way foolish. "The Honest Man" controls the gambling and the docks in this city where as "The Upright Man" controls the prostitution and loan sharking. Either one is very dangerous to deal with and way beyond Rodericks league. If it is a territory thing, then we may be in serious trouble. With a war going on here in a margianl neighboorhood, he may well take it over to prevent future problems with guys similar to Roderick"

"Sounds like we may need to asure these two Gentlemen that we are going to be good neighbors. I really want to hit the opposition hard and try to deal them a blow that will quell opposition for a while. I fear the trick will be doing that without attracting too much negative attention."

Leaning back in his chair Thaddeus says "Well depneind on how much coin we can raise, the easiest way would be to hire all those lingering outside, amring them somewhat, mixing one or two of crushers men in with them for experiecne and letting them roam the streets looking for any of Rodericks men or anyone else plying their trade and having them deal with um"

Tetsu

"I think I understand you, so far. Anything else? Any questions for me about details of the dream I may have missed?"

 

[J. Alexander]

Tetsu - The Dream

Continuing the thread of conversation, she asks "Did you see anything that you though was out of the ordinary or anything that makes your curious?"

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Tetsu

"Actually, I have numerous questions -- both about the dream and about the preparations."

Regarding the dream:

What would the wandering garden symbolize?
Are the materials of construction of the tower and grounds important?
What do the Raven cries symbolize?
What does it mean that I became unusually tired as I ascended the staircase?
If the storm clouds are the D'Shai Empire, what are the waves -- they are getting higher as well, and seem to threaten the foundation of the tower.
What does the lightening strike symbolize?
Finally, why did the lion bare his fangs at me, then allow me to pass?

Regarding the preparations:

Why poison me? And why the matching robes?

Tetsu will work these questions into a conversation about the dream. They are not listed in any particular order, and he'll ask them as openings for them occur in the talk.

"I am willing to spend what we've got and try to raise more. We have our list of people and popular hang outs. Do you think they realize we have such good intelligence on them? It would be nice to take a few of them by surprise on their home turf quietly. Crusher is very good at getting more information."
