"The real question is how much are we willing to tell them? And after that, how much can we trust them?"

Salix nods agreement with this last. "You know such people far better than I do, Surin. What's your take on it?"
From: Ashley

"Obviously we shouldn't blab our entire mission, but I could say we're looking for a friend of ours who got on the Mayor's bad side and need some information on how to infiltrate his place. If anyone would know, I bet it'd be them, and it's not like they're going to protect the Mayor's interests. I might have to just feel it out as I go, once I meet them. I imagine there's a few good apples in there, but I have no idea how they'd feel about druids, or if they'd be willing to help, especially if it runs the risk of pissing off the Mayor even more.
"How far do you think I should go, Salix? Outright lies would only make them distrustful, but outright truths risks saying to much about why exactly we are here."
He looks over to Mund, "I wouldn't mind the company headed over there, but I'd probably have to split off and meet with them privately. Who knows how jumpy they might get if I arrived with a bodyguard. If something goes wrong, you could at least be close by. It's your call."
From: Karl

"Keep it truthful but simple. You're looking for a friend we suspect is captive at the Mayor's. You'd like some information. I'll give you some gold if that will help you smooth relations and get better information. You don't need to tell them who all "we" are, and I'd think they would understand that. If you don't bring up Druids, why should they?"
He turns to the rest of the group. "I think we should try to make preparations to infiltrate the Mayor's house as soon as possible. In other circumstances, it seems obvious we should wait for dark, but with some unknown danger in the streets, what do you guys think? I'm inclined to think we need the darkness more than safe streets. Maybe we can head over toward the Mayor's house while it's still light, and find a place to hide out. Maybe there's an inn there."

Allistair shrugs. "It isn't like I've exactly unpacked and made myself at home here. I think we can all be ready to leave in a few minutes notice. Does anyone know if it's pretty easy to get work there as a day laborer? That could give us a excuse to be there, and could give us a few more minutes before we're discovered and everything goes to pot."
From: Randy
Subject Who goes where?
"I agree that we should set up in an Inn that is closer to the Mayors house. The less time we have to spend dealing with an unknown danger in the night the better."
Ranthir strokes his chin and furrows his brow.
"I'm ready to leave any time now. The sooner we can be done with this gods forsaken place the better."

"I've read some about this God, Nerull, and his cults. His followers are necromancers, assassins, and other depraved creatures that worship death. They usually keep temples underground, and will use undead creatures to guard them. His clerics routinely commit murder as an offering.
There was a death cult in a village far from here a time ago. Before they were stomped out, the clerics wore rust colored robes and their symbol was a skull and scythe. "

I'd love to come along then. Anybody who doesn't like the mayor and his damned godfolk is somebody I'd like to meet. I'll try to look more like a friend and less like a bodyguard.

OOC: Do we know what the area around the Mayor's house outside of town is? Are there inns there we could stay at? Any woods around there or is that in the area where all the trees have been felled?
From: Josh
Subject Who goes where?
It seems likely to me that we're going to find a temple to Nerull underneath the Mayor's house. If we do, it won't be easy to work through. The undead are truly dangerous.
From: Mark

You know very little about the Mayor's estate outside of town other than the general direction.
From: Karl
Subject Who goes where?
"Would they need two temples? I got the impression the real business takes place at the estate outside of town. The cellars of the house have been converted to a prison or holding area, it sounds like."

Subject Turn
I will work on a turn when I get home tonight.
From: Derek
Subject Who goes where?
OOC: I was pretty sure we had been talking about the mayors house outside of town during this whole conversation?
IC: "It sounds like we're going to need some information on the mayor's house outside of town. If most of the real business takes place there, there should be regular traffic between there and the town, and probaby a few shops, inns, etc. near the home. That would be some good info to find out at your meeting today Surin, if you can. In the meantime, maybe some of us can walk down there during the daytime to check the place out?"
From Mark
Subject Who goes where?
Ok I am a bit confused as to who is going where.
The Mayor has a house in town. That is the house that the party walked by yesterday afternoon. They have heard that the Mayor has an estate outside of town. They have not gotten any specifics about that yet.
The house in town was fairly nice and imposing.

I think Mund was going to tag along with Surin, but let the halfling meet with the Theives guild on his own.
Ally, Salix, and Kal were going to head out and try to find/check out the mayors house outside of town. Hack, Ragar and Ran can either join them in looking around or they can check back in with the mercenaries guild.
Right???
From: Derek
Subject Who goes where?
OOC: That's more or less what I understood to be happening too. It looks like the real stuff is going down at the mayor's house outside of town, so we'll go down there during the day to see if we can find anything out.
