Robert here is a character I made for a Crimson Throne campaign that barely went aywhere (we didn't even make it to Lamm's house) who is a lawyer and labor leader, which I think makes perfect sense for a Victorian setting! He's a vigilante too, and I have another alias for his other identity.
Likewise. I'm still kicking about.
Robert goes home, changes out of his courier outfit, logs some billable hours on his casework and goes through old financial files in the area of the old fishery to see if there are any clues about people or goods trafficked through the area, any patrols from any of the cities agencies of order (hellknights, the Guard, the Marines). If nothing turns up there he finds an excuse connected to a case he is working on to access building and tax records at the relevant guild hall or tax office.
How about non-magical tools and materials? Grappling hooks, disguise kits, rope that kind of thing. Could we consider stuff like that in the followers/cohorts' "inventories" and have them stash and retrieve things where we need them or should we pay for them out of our own pockets? Oh, and how about stealth to hide and case a place rather than disguise?
I'm in favor of meeting after dusk.
I will have to get into my other identity, since I did not bring it with me. We should schedule a time to meet near the fishery.
Kheldar has it correct. Though there aren't waxworks there that I know of. It seems there are more facts to be seen there. I'll commit to your cause if what we find there is satisfactory.
Precisely my thoughts. I'm not revealing anything until I know what the plan is. My... other identities don't engage in regicide if that's where this is headed.
The courier reacts with incredulity, immediately probing for details. How exactly are you suggesting we proceed? What is the nature of this evil? What do you mean by reaching up from the pits of Korvosa?
The courier starts but says nothing, his concern plain on his face. What devilry is this? I want no part of this possession business.
"My lords" - not the only party invited, clearly. References to TBC mean she knows who I am though. If it meant harm then I'd have been accosted by hellknights, not invited to breakfast, but they're still all unknown quantities, and that's a bell that can't be unrung, so stay in the alter ego for now. Robert takes a spot on the wall and begins drumming his fingers on the scroll case nonchalantly.
Robert double-checks the hidden compartment where his cobalt sword costume is kept. He then puts on his usual "carrying documents" attire under his chainmail and puts the card in a scroll tube and heads out, longsword on hip and heavy coat over it.
There's a note within my case files. I ought to be concerned about what she knows about my normal work as well. Double-check all the locks and windows before leaving home. After checking all the locks and windows, he makes his way around the city looping his way toward the shop, arriving shortly before the Upon entering he walks up to the counter and says "Confidential Documents for Alika.
Oh it's broken down. I'm just loony.
How IS your sense motive that high, Nate? That's crazy good.
Amusingly enough Robert might know everyone else. There are enough legal issues surrounding death and the disposal of the deceased for him to have potentially represented Juliet, Kheldar runs in similar circles as him, he has probably met and worked with Ulgar's younger brother and met Ulgar himself once or twice, Lysander is kind of the trickiest, but law and nobility deal with each other fairly regularly, and Shiriki's bar seems like the kind of place where a dissident like The Cobalt Sword would be distributing his fliers and seeking malcontented poor people.
Robert probably follows Abadar the most in his day-to-day life, just because he's a lawyer. I'll get those edits in in a bit. And yeah that's basically it. Korvosa is a very pro-business society which is good to some extent, but there's a big difference between the richest and poorest Korvosans.
Changed it to Babcock since it kept refusing to load with Badcock. Maybe it's a censoring thing? Anyway, I'm here. I have a separate alias for The Cobalt Sword. |
