>>6029182>>6029186>>6029190Disguised as a member of House Stane, you approach a cutthroat near Deepdown—more of a drunken thug than a skilled assassin. "Lord Crowl must die," you say, masking your voice and offering him a pouch of silver. The thug agrees, swayed by the promise of coin and the alleged simplicity of the task.
Your plan is set in motion. The cutthroat, reeking of ale and desperation, waits for his moment. Under the cover of night, he slips into Deepdown, aiming to fulfill the contract.
The next morning, chaos erupts. The cutthroat's attempt is clumsy and loud, but it is enough to stir suspicion and panic. Lord Crowl survives the attempt, his guards capturing the would-be assassin before he can escape. The thug, under torture, spills the name of House Stane, just as you had hoped.
In the confusion and anger that follows, you watch from the shadows, satisfaction curling at the corners of your mouth. The seeds of discord are sown, and you are now another step closer to your ambition of establishing a new order in Skagos. The Crowls, believing the threat to be real, begin preparations for war against House Stane in all haste.
Meanwhile, you retreat to Kingshouse, preparing your forces for the aftermath of the all-out war between the Crowls and the Stanes. As you ready your men, you can almost taste the power that will soon be yours, each step bringing you closer to uniting Skagos under your banner.
