The Grand Lodge is not long to be a power in Absalom. It shall lose it's position to other factions whose leaders have provided clearer and more attainable goals to their agents.
On a recent patrol of the Wardstones, in addition to delivering aid and assisting those in need along the way, we offered to help recover prisoners from a recent skirmish. All of Mendev (through their garrison commander) offered their thanks once we convinced our guide it was a worthy endeavour. He did not know of Jormundun nor any secret ways into the Worldwound, but he could track demons. Sadly, all of Mendev minus one was insufficient to further the aims of the Grand Lodge.
An associate relates a similar tale. He was asked to retrieve waylaid diplomats in Razmiran, which his group did. Only a wolf died, any Razmiri injured, when diplomacy failed, were healed. The Inquistor was questioned and detailed what she was told. As nothing secret was revealed, in his opinion, all were released. None of the Razmiri, Dwarves or merchants knew anything of Jormundun or the Worldwound, although all of the pathfinder's associates did pledge their families' resources to aid the cause. Oddly, dishonourable murder would have furthered the Lodge's interests.
In both missions, all other factions completed their tasks successfully. I would suggest that if you wish for us to pursue other lines of discovery, you be more explicit in your expectations. Or make plans for yet another faction to be retired.
