Couple dozen! That's enough to buy enough cloth for several full outfits! How much were they betting on this?

"I don't want to hear more about this…" You lamented. "Please don't tell the others…"

"Of course not, your secret stays with me." Martin said. "Shall we head inside?"

"Go ahead, I will need to clear my head a bit…" You replied.

"Of course, take your time." Martin replied and continued. "And congratulations, the Prince is a handsome man. If I was any younger…"

Martin pretended to be swooned and laughed as she left you alone on the battlements.

You took a deep breath on the pipe and watched her disappear before turning around and looking where Lord Falconcrest had been standing.

"Lord Falconcrest, are you still there?" You asked the empty spot. There was no reply. Had he been listening to the two of you talking? Or was he just gone, Mirror Image dispelled itself?

Your thoughts raced, Alric should be told about this immediately, he could be in danger. What did Lord Falconcrest tell you, he dislikes warlocks. Was he after the one imprisoned in the dungeon or would he think Alric is one? Last winter he had tried to poison everyone present at the table!

You had to hurry!


Choose one:
>Go warn Alric immediately. A lot of nobles are gathered together yet again, just like in the winter. Try not to make a scene!
>The warlock is a more likely target, Alric was just "poisoned". Syndicate kills failed agents after all. Try to reach the dungeon quickly!

QM: Drama! The roll was who interrupted you and how late in the questions did it happen.
