OOC: I had thought you put the game on hiatus until further notice, but I'll RP a bit while we're waiting for the others.
IC: Allistair explains to the others what he learned from the interview. "From the documents they had me copy, it's pretty obvious that the mayor is building up an army on his estate outside of town. Lot's of supplies, foodstuffs, armor, swords and shields, etc. What he's building up the force for, or when he plans on making his move, I have no idea. Nor do I know where the manpower is coming from. All the people that have disappeared off the streets at night probably wouldn't make for a very reliable force. On the other hand, the mayor's mansion here in town is not heavily guarded. If you can get inside the building undetected, there is no standard guard detail inside. Of course what else might be inside I don't know. I only saw a few rooms myself. Hack and Ran can tell you more about the guard situation, though."

Well it is not on haitus until further notice, just until Monday Jan 29.
I was just hoping that you and Randy and maybe Porter/Ashley might fill the others in on what they found out. That way when we started back up everyone would be up to speed.

"The leader of the thieves' guild was able to get me some information on the mayor's residence, including, for Salix's gold, times when the guard shifts. Sneaking in might very well prove disasterous -- at least it did for him and his people when they tried it, and they're professionals. He kept recommending hiring mercenaries, but I imagine it was because he thought it was just me and Mund. Mercs in this area are probably all under the Mayor's thumb.
He also offered the guild's services to provide a diversion for us to buy time to get in, for a price. They aren't cheap, but I could cover it if we think we need it."

"These guys have plenty of reason to hate the Mayor. I think we should accept their offer and pay them for a distraction."
