Way too much crap going on and more coincidences

by Marya Silverstring

We continue to give chase, but damn it's annoyingly hard to track this person
Cauterized the wound and all....
Darn
But at least it seems like they were coming from inside the city I guess
Doesn't really narrow it down
 
With that we slowly head back
I consider burning the mansion and everyone inside of it down
But I take the sensible choice by talking to Seb about it
2 days
I'm gonna wait 2 days and if this thing starts breaking Melech, I'm gonna break them
Heck Melech's siblings and him are orphans now ffs
 
After some time the priest arrives
He actually manages to save Melech's father
Though there is no chance for his mother anymore
Otherwise we give Melech some space
 
Melech is surprisingly vengeful
Though Seb once again asks him to be cautious
And well Melech actually asks me to contact my family regarding the hit job
That is indeed unexpected
So after some talking, Ophidia and me head out
 
We go info hunting
Some quick going via a beggar to Auntie Jill (one of the big players in town)
Info costs 100gp
Ophidia pays
It's a private group
Very quick (within one hour)
Good at their jobs
Sometimes hired by the Myriad in the past
They burn up when killed
Their clients are usually the few who can afford it or who want to send a message
There's a chance they might return
There's a chance that whoever commissioned the job is a bit in hot water (as we weren't mentioned)
Depends on their relationship
There's a couple of contacts
And they're good at tracking people down
They work within the whole empire
Only code seems to be: "Money pays their bills, no questions asked."
Mostly in Trispires or sometimes government officials
They're most often subtle
No names known
They're usually using poisoned weapons
Efficient, not brutal
No evidence
100-10000gp for their trademark poison
 
Uncle Jace has a grudge on me
He's based out of Rexxentrum
Because of the Deastock thing
The other group was his
And one escaped
Well something to keep in mind, now I now who's dealing in dragon eggs
 
After that it's back to Melech's house
I share a good deal of the infos with the group
We agree on bankrupting and ruining them
Also... the person in Melech's household was a paladin of Luxon O.o
And not a tiefling but a paladin O.O
The fuck Zadash!?
So anyway, there's more plans for the ruining part than I want to note down here
We also get back to the info from the little girl
 
30pp for Revify from Melech
10pp for Ophidia from Melech
