-Yes, there is disorder, and we need to work to put everything back in order. Do you have a plan about what to do ?
The man nodded, he then explained.
-You see, my lord, it is better to never be seen as someone too dangerous, and to act indirectly, Lord Takable and Lord Random tried to act directly, and they are now dead. We need to be more careful. I think that we shall first try to seek the support of some nearby nobility. But I can deal with that.
The problem was that, if I understood well and my informers were not misinformed, that you were the victim of an assassination attempt by a professional.
You approved vigorously.
-Yes, I was attacked in a Inn on the road, the High Mandol-Inn, and who are your informers ?
-Some people that work for me, but if you were attacked it is very interesting, and if we are to believe who was the man we can be practically sure that he was a man of the Lord of Darkplace. And even if the lord of Darkplace is not the one who has formed him, I cannot confirm who engaged the man but if Lord Creepy Bitchson learns that it was his man that was killed he will send another one, and then another one until you are dead, he hates failure. He is not...
The look on your face said it all, you told him who has done the act. You even showed him the dagger that you had taken. So Lord Neutral continued.
-Well, he knows. It means that everything is in jeopardy until we have neutralized his killers. We cannot do this directly, or march to war against them, or even provoke the man to a duel. The baron would take his defence. No... We need to create something, an external event that would force his assassins to disperse, or who would destroy his school of the Assassin's Guild, or who would remove him from the game.
You thought about proposing something. You had talked a bit about this organisation with the lord of Darkplace after all.
