Infiltrating the Lord's Manor, pt. 2

by Hellion Blaze

After regrouping, we make our way back to the manor. Tas and I get there fashionably late, as it is the appropriate thing to do (as far as I'm concerned).
 
I speak to Lord Ruven briefly and he introduces me to Arbin, a leatherworker. I try to get him liquored up to see if he knows anything, but it seems futile. However, I do run into the lovely Faylen, a courtesan. I manage to convince her to have a dance. I slip her some gold and she tells me of a string of murders. Each is connected by a red cloak found near the scene. The victims are seemingly unconnected, not particularly noteworthy individuals, which I take means they were messengers or other grunts with information that someone wanted to stay secret. She didn't want to tell me method of death or who might know more.
 
I like this Faylen a lot though. Any woman of the night is a person worthy of my respect. I hope I do meet her again at some point.
