An intercepted report.

[Godzr]

A tall dark figure steps off the quarterdeck of a ship that berthed in the middle of the night. His face shifts in and out of pools of light and shadow as he passes lanterns that feebly try to illuminate the gangway. Slowly the stranger makes his way along the pier, his well worn boots soon falling upon cobbled streets and sundren proper. Deckhands rush past him, their coarse voices shouting obscenities and their shoulders bumping into him as they walk briskly in that ungainly way all seamen walk, towards the nearest tavern. Beating down the urge to shout, he shifts his travel pack to a more comfortable position and begins the slow climb to the summit where the towns gates lay, and then onwards to the hinterlands of sundren.

The rain beats the stranger forcing him to keep his head down; his eyes however constantly scan his surroundings. It is not long before the cloaked figure makes his way to a trading camp located in the heart of sundren. Stepping into the trading hall he removes his cloak and shakes the surface water. His eyes soak in the surroundings, as he slowly walks towards an empty table at the far end of the hall.

Taking three parchments from his travel pack and writing utensils he begins to construct his first report.

The voyage was long and unpleasant; the food was stale and the cabin second rate. However the manner in my arrival was necessary and the rank smells and other difficulties were endured to keep it thus.

Upon reaching a trading camp rumours flew quickly to my ears, the reason I was dispatched here has indeed proven wise and what many have already suspected for a long time is beginning to come to light . I will continue to carry out my primary and secondary role and will dispatch my reports at the appointed time.

The tall stranger sits in the corner of jimmy?s his back towards the wall his eyes shifting from the door and the patrons. Three sheets of parchment, an ink pot and a half empty stein grace his table. His hand deftly writes his second report.

Having found no immediate success within the nobility I have switched focus to the commons. The abundance of travellers and adventures has proven to be a bounty of information. I have learned more from camp fire gossip than I ever did through pillow talk and hunting.

However my cover my have been compromised as my name is becoming known, I have no defence against this as it seems that no matter what amour or clothing I ware invdivuals continue to use my name in greetings or correspondence. Thus I have decided that my cover name will be from now on given out. It is a low risk as I believe that many will not associate the name with other parts of Faer?n.

The stranger unstraps his amour and slowly makes his way to the camp fire. His gaze sweeps by briefly upon everyone?s face as he inclines his head to those who know him.
His brow furrows as he forms in his head his next report. Taking out his writing equipment he uses his knee to make his first draft.

Today I journeyed with a group calling themselves the Bloodhawrks; I attached my self to the group in order to find out what their primary goals are. Herein is my initial conclusion.

The Bloodhawrks first appear to be just another rabble of adventures; however they are commanded by a hin going by the name of Thalissa Spellsword. She appears competent to a certain degree but should not pose a great threat to our work. The Bloodhawrks were investigating baneite activities within the hills surroundings the Exigo trading camp. Within the caves Thalissa showed a lack of thoughroness in her search for banite activities. It was with my help that they now possess an inventory depicting a large scale movement away from the caves. However I believe that the banites will keep a small presence within the immediate area. I have also sent a copy of this inventory to the Triumvirates, whether they act upon such information I can not say.

After gathering preliminary information on the Bloodhawrks I departed their company, only to cross paths with them in a fort inhabited by Gnolls. It was this encounter which proved to be of most use. When questions were asked, their commander Thalissa Spellsword responded. The questions put and the answers given are as follows. I believe you will find them most intriguing.

What do you, the Bloodhawrks stand for?
We seek to do battle with any sentient race that does harm to the land!

But you do not seek battle with the populace of the cities?

This question was not answered; I believe our surroundings may be the reason why an answer was not forth coming. Although I must stress we were in no immediate danger. To prompt an answer I then proceeded to make this statement.

Does not the population harm, or disturb the lands, yet you do not make battle upon them.

Again I was met by silence; I intend to continue this line of questioning in the near future.

(Occ I slightly paraphrased the questions slightly I forgot to write down what was said, but the essence is there.)

The stranger sits alone in the desolate tavern that is the prancing pony. With is back against the wall he looks up briefly from his report to notice a new comer into the tavern. The stranger quickly dismisses the traveller as unimportant and continues to write his report.

There appears to be a notable increased in the activities of our brothers and sisters within Sundren. They however are not sent form our order and have such been treated with minimal contact until further investigations on my part or orders from yourself reach a satisfactory level.

I have also made great progress with the Bloodhawks to a level where I am now regarded without reproach. This will hopefully aid me in my primary goal and although lives were cut short I believe that the over all objective will balance this out in due time.

The secondary objective is also moving along swiftly, I continue to gather people who are willing to fight by my side. However their loyalties are not firmed as yet, but in time some my find it hard to sit upon the fence. As always a continued update upon these will be forthcoming at the next appointed time.
