BEWARE!!!

A notorius murderer, Marius Darktale, infamous for the Smoking Hammer Inn tragedy strikes again! He was indentified by a few witnesses as the perpetrator of the recent abduction of a young woman known by some as Ixia. Exact details of the misfortunate event are not yet known to the SIGIS reporters.




SHOULD YOU SPOT THIS MAN ON THE STREETS, PLEASE REPORT TO THE BARRACKS IMMEDIATLY.

Vox Populi

[*Mr_Otyugh]

Cratten sees the notice, considers the ramifications of all that... "Shite..." is all that he manages to really mumble before he moves out.

Jiro ,after reading the notice grins rubbing his hands

Well Well ,seems like I have competition! I cant tolerate that!

And with that he runs out of the B&J

[*Mr_Otyugh]

Quick announcement is made by Cratten Erroc (whom currently is in rather blackened and damaged armor) in public and encouraged to spread the word: "Arrite, I want this sod found, and I want it done now. So I'm paying anyone able to cast discern location... we're going to find this Marius and take him down once and for all, he has been pest to the citizen of Cage long enough... we also want to do this before the civilian gets hurt."

*The air genasi wizard and enchantress Lorelei Tsiimhe temporarily leaves her projects of research and artifice behind upon learning of this notice, and reports to the Harmonium Barracks. She adjusts her teal pointed hat and robes as she coolly reports to whomever is on duty to receive such assistance.*

"I am ready, able, and prepared to cast whatever spells are required to assist in locating and apprehending this criminal and his victim. Simply tell me when you are ready to start the hunt, and I will begin the rituals."

(( Note, I won't be able to do anything in-game for a few more hours at least until I'm home (which I'm not), so if this needs to happen sooner than that, I suppose this post can be disregarded.))

[*Ceremorph]

Many rumors surface of a massive reddish reptilian creature with eyes like death and clad in strange armor walking through the back alleys of the poorer sections of Sigil, a crumpled broadsheet in one hand bearing the sketch of a robed and masked figure, the other holding a warmace as heavy as most humans. The one thing that all accounts seem to agree upon, however, is that whoever took this "Ixia" woman, they're all glad they're not him.

(( Note, I won't be able to do anything in-game for a few more hours at least until I'm home (which I'm not), so if this needs to happen sooner than that, I suppose this post can be disregarded.))

((No rush ;) I'll be out for night myself now.))

Cratten would come to the Barracks only a lot after anti-peak, looking miserable, his hair messy, bags under his eyes, his armor was dented, and burnt black, in his shield was one large bulge. Right hand bandaged... man filled with worry, and relentless determination. He was carrying a by now wrinkled teal dress. If Lorelei still was available or waiting within the Barracks he'd say in obviously drained tone after the long day "Arrite... can ye find her with this?... he offered the teal dress at her then we'll find Marius as well..."

[*Vercimer]

"If this once belonged to the victim, then it will do. I will begin when you are ready to search. The divination will require some time, though, the entire duration of which I must have the utmost concentration."

Lorelei takes hold of the offered garment, noting offhand its hue to be similar to her own, and begins casting the ritual, which will require at least ten minutes to complete. She duly attempts to coax the location of Ixia from the threaded cords of space and time.

(( Adjusted Spellcraft score is +46, caster level 31, and INT is 35 if those are relevant to these purposes. ))

A Time of Choice

My dear citizen of The City of Doors, I am sure my recent activities have caught your attention. I am also sure those of you who know me understand that I never do anything without a purpose.

Yesterday, I had taken Ixia Larkspur, a person of personal relevance to a man called Cratten Erroc. He is, by official position, a Mover of the Harmonium. However, the man also has a secret: he is, actually an Anarchist infiltrator. If any of the people truly loyal to that Faction are reading this, and that I am sure of, I advice you to begin an immediate investigation. May it not only save miss Larkspur's life but also make your ranks cleaner...

In the meanwhile, I give Erroc an opportunity to reveal himself willingly, confess and bring in all the evidence about his hidden activities. I'll not set time by which his chances to save his love are limited, yet my patience is already running thin.

Extensive search attempts are also ill-advised...

Marius Darktale

[*Mr_Otyugh]

Cratten reads the S.I.G.I.S. article after the last day, slight smirk on his face. So this was what he was after... a shame, guess it was short cloak and dagger game he thought, only to pen down his reply.

Dear mister "Marius Darktale",
[size0]by Cratten Erroc[/size]

To prove your identity, please inform us what was the object which you stole from our evidence room, unless you're of course imposter. This is one of those never before released in public issues, so I'm certain man of your expertise knows it.

As for my being a "member" of Revolutionary League, now this is an outrageous attempt to undermine my on going investigation, oh yes, quite fortuitous timing I might say. Especially considering your previous actions against Hildmor d'Kridis publically and now seemingly you're here to assist his case by targetting me.

Everyone who knows me well, knows that I have been targetted by the Anarchists explosives, one which nearly killed me, I believe Phoenix likes to take credits of that. I have trained every single Harmonium Notary which I've recruited to act properly against infiltrators, I have spoken against Anarchists in public.

To do my best to ensure that every Cager is secure, I will hereby initiate full day surveillance upon my person until further notice. The higher ups can choose members of which ever faction they deem necessary to keep an watch over me. However none of the case evidences are to be touched without my explicit permission or observation, they may of course be examined by the said official.

However mister Marius, no wait, Hildmor is it? I have a message for you:
- First one would be, please, pay your goons next time, they might not talk then to me right away.
- Second, I actually know where Ixia is. Now I wanted to see what you were plotting before revealing such to public.
- Third, I will add blackmailing a Harmonium officer to lie of their loyalties to the true Harmony.
- Fourth, now actually you don't know where Ixia is, so guess that makes me at advantage. My only weakness now taken to safety, thanks to you. I actually couldn't have planned this better myself.

As for your "goon", well I shant name him or her in public, but you likely guessed that keep an eye out for rest of Hildmors men as to avoid capture.

PS. Also your testimony in Court of Law would be most appreciated, we can offer you, the goon, full pardon of public disorder and all that nonsense charges in exchange.
