Session 94: The Stab Master Report

General Summary

Fleec returns after finishing dealing with the physician. Tidies himself up and prepares to carouse the local hangouts to hear other rumours.   In one is two partially drunk off-duty Burgeater guards. They are talking about a character called Klaus & him causing trouble for someone called Eleia who is in the town. How they found out about it is another matter.   Fleec hears them saying that he his the spymaster and henchman of Countess Gabrielle de Rais. After encountering a de Rais before & getting him arrested, Fleec remembers how nasty the de Rais can be.   Getting his gear he rides off for Orleans. He accompanies a trade caravan part of the way on the safe route past Goblintown.   Going off himself halfway through after stopping at an inn for the night, he eventualy arrives in Orleans.   First thing Fleec does is set up somewhere to stay and then goes to see if he can get a special suit. Finding a tailor stil opened, he entered it to find it run by a Gnome called Gibal.   Proceeding to get measured up, the suit is to appear as a merchant / lesser noble on one side, and turned inside out to appear black. Returning in the morning Gibal worked through the night to prepare the suit.   Fleec sticks the suit on, and after finding out that Klaus has a tendency of going into the east of the city to the lower class drinking establishments where he drinks and frequents prostitutes. He has been known to get violent with the prostitutes too.   Appearing as an injured war veteran with a bit of drink in him, Fleec enteres an establishment, and is soon approached by a a prostitute who he coverses with. At the same time two Thieves Guild are sitting in the corner. She tells him that there is a good chance of Klaus appearing later.   Fleec leaves & hangs around to see if Klauz arrives. A few hours later he does with two young nobles.   Seeing this he scouts out the upper floor windows, slightly opening a few before hiding in the general vicinity.   Afer a while he hears Klaus coming up the stairs with the propstitute and going into the room.    At this point Fleec busts in, knocking the lantern down to make it harder to see him. Now Fleec stabbed Klaus through the abdomen with a poisoned longsword dropping him. It doesn't take long for Klaus to pass.   Afterwards he knocks out the prostitute and moves her to another room to make it look as if she wasn't in the same room.   Waiting a day, Fleec dresses up and goes back to the same tavern, and checks up. Nobody is sure what exactly happened but the lass is fine just a bit bruised. He leaves 3 gold to help the local people and leaves.   He takes Klaus' ring to sent to Eschbach and Eleia and a note to say that Klaus won't be bothering her again.   Changing his outfit, he goes to the local apothicaries to get more venom & and some anti-venom. Not having enough he sets up a deal where he can bring them spiders & snakes for them to get the venom. They are looking to set up a stall or shop in Eschbach allowing him to trade there.   All kept hush hush, and to deal this way he will use the word Bird to let them know.   He's told about the Valley of the Black Ones and the remains of the Spider Queen encampment where he can find a number of possible sources.   Also he goes out and captures a couple of adders in the local area to hand over as downpayment.   Then he sets up ready to travel again.
