[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7119835, member: 79141"] [b]Session 13 (136) Part Four - International Manhunt[/b] INTERNATIONAL MANHUNT With the help of the dozens of kobold spies now at their disposal, the team assembled by Delft proved itself ideally suited to the task of an international manhunt: Leon’s facility in obtaining information from total strangers; Gupta’s connections, and her ability to erase the memories of those they had spoken to; Uru’s keen eyes and ears, and his unrivalled stealth; Xambria’s keen intelligence and her ability to offer specific, salient advice – all contributed to expedite what might otherwise have taken months.
