Whispers to the Dark XVII

by Raphael

My Queen,

An interesting turn of events has occurred this evening following my earlier update.

Upon returning to Eagles Landing, a message had been left for Wind that bore the symbol that represents the Clasp. I was familiar with it from my time in Kymal under the guise of Kyros.

Wind has previously explained that she had an unfortunate encounter with the Clasp and was indebted to them. A half-elf, whose name I recognised, and went by Draygon, came for a meeting not just with Wind but all the Unbroken. He believed that he could extract a favour from us for the favour owed by Wind, attempting to intimidate us with the poem that Sabali had made for us. He had on his person one of two vials of blood that from the description was some form of debt contract the Clasp had with Wind, such crude magic if you ask me.

It seems that counterfeit coin has saturated the Westruun black market and this is believed to be the result of the Myriad (a rival thieves guild). The clasp wishes us to secure evidence of this and end the activity, with a particular mint (the Pennerton Exchequer) being the suspected heart of the operation. I did manage to secure with the Clasp that the balance of the deal was unfavourable and should we succeed, the Clasp would owe us a favour.

I must confess that the idea of a bank robbery has interested myself greatly, simply for the fact that it allows me to tap into some of my gifts that until now have lay dormant, and there is the opportunity to flex my powers under more trying circumstance. It is clear however that it is the most logical course of action to work with the Clasp here instead of against them. Though I wish to apply your style of logical thinking to the task and anticipate some outcomes that I can plan for.

Ceri is greatly disturbed by this turn of events, concerned not only of the act itself but of the risk of betrayal by the Clasp. I fear not that she is right but that her unbending nature will cause us difficulty in the task, and I will therefore need to accommodate that in the plan. Though I tried to assure her that there is even honour amongst thieves. I shall take out some insurance on Draygon, and possibly the Clasp, following through on his end should we succeed.

I shall provide the next update when we are in Westruun and know more. Until then my lady.

Your Knight
