[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 8030239, member: 7015827"] At the Mercenaries Guild, Rahnee had the clerk Tara pull the records of “Helm’s Shadows” so that Dermot and Shanni could be officially added to the roster, paying their fee as she did so. When Tara asked about members to be removed from the roster, Rahnee’s voice caught repeatedly before she could name both Brok-Tul and Veran. Dermot winced at Rahnee’s evident trial, while Shanni had a half-puzzled, half-sympathetic look. ([I]It is during such moments of otherwise mundane business that old wounds can be reopened, as it forces one to acknowledge the absences inside one's heart. --C[/I]) The clerk completed the roster update and said there was a note in their file indicating that Losifan Urdo, the senior guild commander, wanted to see them. She went upstairs to confirm that he was in and then directed the party to his office. Before heading up, Rahnee confirmed with the clerk that there were no new contracts available on general offer. Losifan greeted them with a friendly wave and first attended to the business of the ex-slaver ship, offering 1,600 gold for it on behalf of House Urdo. The party was pleased to accept this and Rahnee said that they would take it in gold and jewels, rather than put it on their guild account, since they needed to upgrade their weapons and equipment. Losifan then raised his other business: House Urdo’s concern over House Cormaeril and the Fire Knives assassination threat. He stated that his people were still gathering information, but he anticipated that they might have some required tasks that would not be appropriate for the City Watch to carry out. Although Rahnee made it clear that she and her group were not assassins, both she and Darrow said they would be happy to possibly employ some “creative justice” as needed.
