Ghouls inside the City (Rumour)
Brief
Sneaking out on Eclipse Day, Hugo Dargent, his (fake) concubine Lindie and his pet Bunbun Connie encountered some ghouls inside the city walls, and deliberately spread the information quickly by using the court rumour grapevine.Outcome
The Mason family (who are in charge of wall fortifications) and the Ironside family, (who are responsible for city defence), requested more funding from Richard Dargent (who manages city finances), giving Richard a hold over both families, which he would use to his full advantage.
Summary
Eclipseday between Beggarmoon and Thiefmoon, 1312
Sneaking out on Eclipseday, Hugo Dargent, Lindie Asklepa and Connie Furr encounted some ghouls who had managed to break into the city, seemingly from one of the lower levels. They were able to take them down, but this was a troubling occurence, since the city walls are meant to keep ghouls out.Mapday, Thiefmoon, 1312
After returning to the noble court district, Hugo informed his father of the incursion, and spread a rumour around the court that ghouls had been spotted inside the city walls.Goldday, Thiefmoon, 1312
Rumour at court is that the Masons and Ironsides have asked for more funding from the Dargents. The rumour that Hugo spread yesterday has taken hold in the court.Goldday, Tinkermoon, 1313
During the Whisper Vote, called by Cobbler Bakerstreet, that bannished Absalom and Damasque Laureat from court and forgave Kronk Greenskin, both the Masons and the Ironsides were closely following the lead of Richard Dargent, quite possibly in repayment for his raising their funding.
