[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 7820228, member: 7015827"] [SIZE=6][B]Endgame[/B][/SIZE] The four companions, after returning to the guest house, agreed on separate courses of action. Rahnee and Jokull would leave a secret message for the Thalavars requesting a meeting, as Rahnee felt it was time to inform Thalavar Steward Iono of their discoveries. Meanwhile, Brok-Tul and Marik would go to the Black Eye and the Rotten Root, looking to spread rumors about the Fire Knives in the hopes of shaking free more information. At the Black Eye, Brok-Tul and Marik encountered Khair, who seemed uninterested in Marik's tale of an unnamed Purple Dragon in Westgate seeking to track down a former Fire Knife operative as part of a personal vendetta. [I](This must be a version of the story Jokull had wished to spread about himself. –C).[/I] Brok-Tul whispered that it could mean the Knives were making a big move in the city.
