As the sun comes up on a fine Tuesday morning in Wolfenden then the people arriving in the marketplace including Edward Deal see a poster has been put up proclaiming.*
[glow=red,2,300]Concerning The Foul Goblain Master and Villain Skarkill; Skarkill, the goblain master yesterday attacked one Mr Edward Deal and the elf named Kully, after attacking Deal then he dropped his guard and Mr Deal stabbed him in self defence. This proved fatal, therefore Mr Deal, as he has removed a very unsavoury character who has injured and put irons on many of the inhabitants of Wolfenden in the past, shall be rewarded with the honourary title of, 'Heroic Citizen.' and the sum of 150 gold pieces. The ceremony will take place in the church this Sunday, Signed
Lord Daventree De Chaos (Lord Of The Realm)[/glow]

*An Evil smile plays across Deals Lips as he reads the notice.* "That is as my late freind Skarkill would say LOVELY." [ModNote: Deal is posting concurrently in Supplies.] |

*Several commoners give mutterings about murder and suspicious circumstances, but as Deal turns around then they are all silenced.*

One of three monks (see 'Inquiries' post) in the marketplace goes over and reads the notice. In conversation with the traders, he brings up the subject, and one or two people mention that this message does not match what they saw/heard go on.
*"Hmm," thinks the disguised Brother Strange to himself. "This would seem to confirm RingmasterRob's claim that the De Chaos family are connected to, and protecting, the assassins and Deal."
I wonder if this corruption is limited to Lady Morgan, as the mage seems to think, or whether it runs deeper? I shall have to find out.*
[responses, actions etc. to this post to be placed in the 'Inquiries' thread please, not here.]

[ModNote: Continued from The Dunn Hill.] In the crowded marketplace can be seen three men dressed in the hooded robes of the local monastery. They head around the stalls, occasionally making small talk to traders. [OOC: These are Brother Strange, RingmasterRob and Tom Broughton in disguise. Anyone taking an interest in these three apparently innocent monks (but monks, due to their life away from society, are obviously not in Wolfenden very often), post here. also Rob and Tom post here if doing anything particularly exciting.] |

*An assassin who is guarding Deal's store while he is away regards the monks with mild suspicion, they seem peaceful enough and watches as one reads the notice of Deal's reward for killing Skarkill*

"I said that you seem to know a lot about this appaling incident. Why do you say Mr. Deal is worse then The Goblain Master?"

*One of the monks walks over to Deal's store*
Monk (Rob): Are you the owner of this store?
Assassin: No I aint and stores closed so push of father.
Monk: I have some gold for a Mr *looks at a package he is holding as if trying to read the name* Edward Deal, is this his store?
Assassin: *Sensing a chance to bag some gold* Yeah give it here mate and I'll see he gets it.
*Rob hands over the package to the assassin.*
[OOC: The package is booby-trapped and the assassin WILL give it to Deal, but perhaps not all of it.]

Well, I don't like this Deal any more than you do. This is not like me at all, but could we 'elp each other?

Yes, I suppose an argeement would benefit both parties. Now what information further can you give us? [ModNote: Hands did not reply to this. He would next be seen at Celánia's Abode.] |

[ModNote: Continued from here.] *The owl swoops down, clutching a scroll in it's talons. As it knocks Sly's battered hat off his head, it also drops the scroll between them. A scrawled message is on it - clearly there has been a spy somewhere near Lady Morgan de Chaos...and they are willing to help the unlikely pair.* [ModNote: The owl is next seen at Desirée's Stall.] |
