The informant’s eyes bulged, a gurgling sound coming from his mouth as he desperately clawed for air against the invisible grasp that was crushing his throat shut. With one last pitiful sound, the man collapsed in a heap at Naglatha’s feet.
“Apology accepted, Captain Needle” she snarled. “I know from this point forward you will no longer provide me out-of-date details about the one task set before you. And I will no longer suffer for you incompetence.”
Several tendays before, she had almost died because of the fool’s inability to reach her and provide the update she desperately needed to avoid her master’s wrath. Now, she would have to find a more responsive individual to keep her abreast of the situation. But first, she had more pressing matters.
She closed her eyes and thought for a moment at the progress the Vengeful’s agents had made, and how much she now wished to go back to her master and gloat. But time for that later. With the dead man’s update, she was confident now that steps 2 through 7, 11, 13, and steps 16 through 19 had been recovered. However, it sounded as though one of the agents involved had gathered most of those found and was keeping the secret well. Perhaps too well.
The end of the hunt was drawing near, and no one person should command all the pieces of the puzzle or disaster would strike. It was time to involve others.
“Milos,” she turned to her eunuch guard “Prepare yourself. You are leaving for Bezantur within the day. The next nudge is needed and I know just whom you can leverage there to give it.”
The next event for this campaign will be held on Sunday, July 8 starting at 3:00 PM CST. If you have not joined in any of the events for this campaign before, this would be a good one to consider as the Vengeful will be particularily interested in 'new blood' to the campaign. It may be a combat heavy, so PCs above 5th level are recommended if you wish to join.
