"He will. Meet an ex of mine, Lowai."

"Hush. He'll take your place and keep everyone busy while you investigate with me. Doesn't that sound nice?"

"So then why even bother making me governor if I'm not going to do governor stuff?"

"Oh you will, we just need to build up a good reputation for you, and you just don't have the personality for it. He does. He'll be charismatic, bold, an a bit pompous. All the qualities of a good politician. Any questions?"

"Yes. Why is there a Breeder statue above the bed?"

"Isn't it obvious? Pako's family knew the man was a bit quick to take someone to bed with him. They hoped one of his wilder nights would yield an heir in the process so they put that up there so the Breeder could watch. Their one downside was that he seldom went with women."

"So why keep it there?"

How will you disguise yourself? Tsang Naji are rare around here, and halfs even more so. It's safe to assume your officer guise was noticed the other night, if not by nobles than by their bodyguards and spies. If they see you mingling with nobles you'll be suspect.

The problem is you're demanding obedience when you have loyalty.
I'd normally let you work this out on your own, but I need to keep a clear head tonight so I'll lay it out.
You're my superior, this is your specialization, and it's for the good of the country. You want to be in command, I want you to be in command, and although this isn't the direction I wanted my life to go in I'll find happiness within the role you'll have me play.
That said, while I don't know the term for it I do recognize you're manifesting dominance. While my mother will love having a daughter-in-law who can talk shop, it's counterproductive to use it on me.

Um okay...deaths, deaths, deaths...uh.

There was the massacre of the Quen Gul gang by some Mo Sala looking for revenge.

Then there was the the assasination of sergeant Quth.

Before that was when the Cult of the Great Snake had a mass suicide. All seven of them slit their throats in here.

The mass murdering puppeteer would bring all his victims here before he strung them up and let them bleed to death. That accounts for five more that died here.

Several unidentified homeless folk were found dead here over the past couple of years.

This was the site of the gang wars between Mulchango and Fo dan bin. I think the death toll was about twenty and the grand theater was closed for a month to clean up the place and collect all the evidence

Uh, one of my partners was shot dead here, never got to learn his name. He was a new guy.

Rakul Makag had his throat slit here and he choked on his own blood. The guy who killed him was killed by a curse Rakul cast by carving the runes into the wall. Took forever to buff them out.

Uh there was a problem with one of the stage props and it beheaded the lead actor of the play 'The Emperor's Lady'. The play still managed to do well without its protagonist somehow.

An angry Orc hunted down the guy who pickpocketed her here and beat him to death.

The serial killer who hung twelve prostitutes over his career hung them in the poor folks' theater.

A destitute man slaughtered his family here before taking his own life about two years ago...

Um, there was the case of the elf girl who lured men here to slit their throats and paint strange glyphs on the stage floors with it. That counts for about twenty deaths over her time before we surrounded her and she took her own life.

That's what I can remember off the top of my head.

Was that a trail of blood on the carpet?
There was a vapor of some sort rising between the planks of that stage.

Do not get close to either. Give a visual inspection from a distance. Also, see if you smell anything.

If it IS blood, then ask a busboy or the like to tell Vivian (Use whatever name she's going by for this op. If you don't know it, then say "some Tsang Naji halfbreed noblewoman") that her liason has caught ill and won't be arriving.

If that doesn't work, then set a different room on fire and start shouting out warnings about the fire. Once people start panicking, put the fire out.
You may think you could just shout fire without there BEING a fire, but some smoke and scorch marks do a great job of selling the story.

Why even scare people with a fire in the first place? Because it is an unmistakable sign to Vivian and your body double that something is seriously wrong, and it gives them an excellent pretense to clear the area and launch a full investigation without anybody suspecting their new regent.

Why not call out murder?
Well, for one thing that would cast a dark light on your reign - if you can't keep the building you're in safe, then what does that mean about your lands?
The other thing is that it would let the killer know they've been found out, which would prompt them to accelerate their plot or flee. A fire, however, would ruin their plans without letting them know they were discovered. That would give them reason to try to hide or destroy the evidence before fleeing, which means there would be a chance to catch them.

On a related note, the stain could be oil and the vapors could be explosive, in which case you probably shouldn't light any fires.
But you should still warn people of one. Specifically, by calling for firefighters.

It's making acrid smoke? Ok, we can work with that. Where there's smoke, after all...
Go back to the main hall and shout fire until people start fleeing, then proceed to stand just outside the doorway waiting. While everybody else is fleeing Vivian will come over and confront you, at which point you can explain what's REALLY happening.
Keep the explanation short and to the point: "Liaison's dead. Heart cut out. Body left in a magic circle. It's making foul smoke."

Now, you're almost certainly suffering from the effects of poison. It's absolutely vital that you crawl back to the crowd and shout fire BEFORE you collapse. Otherwise you're probably going to die, and so is everybody else in the building.

Pretty sure all the power was put into the magic circle when it was made. Also, we changed it from a gradual release of magic into a catastrophic one. Kinda like trying to put out a kerosene lamp by smashing it.
The reason we were told not to break magic things is because doing it wrong is almost always worse than just leaving it alone.

>>501900
There is no fire. We just want Vivian to meet up with us and everybody else to leave the building, but shouting 'fire' is easier and raises far fewer questions than shouting 'evil magic zombie'.
It's not hard to understand why.
If you ask "Why is there a fire?" the answer is going to be 'Probably an accident'. Fires happen, no big deal.
If you ask "Why is there an undead abomination?" the answer is 'Somebody wants to do bad things to people'. Undeath is not something that 'just happens'.

:sergei:"Got it out of your system mom?"

"Yes. Phew yes, I feel better. Now tell mommy what happened dear."

:sergei:"Mom, did you ever hear about the 'Prophecy of The Two?'"

"Proph-ah! Wait...I think I heard your father mention that once. Maybe. I can't remember for sure."

:sergei:"Um, on the subject, who was my father? I know he was a sergal and all but you never told me much about him."

"Oh, oh Sergei dear, I'm not sure you are ready..."

:sergei:"Mom, I'm a govenor now, I just had to deal with a bunch of cultists that...I think they WANTED me to kill them. I need to know. Everything."

"If you really think it's best. You're father, he's a complicated soul. I need to start at the beginning. His grandmother got together with some Rezan, her master if I remember correctly. Her son was thus a half sergal half rezan, but you know how sergals are. Very touchy about 'racial purity' and such. So as you can imagine, not many sergal half breeds he could associate with, and he didn't make much effort to make friends with other races. At least until one save his life. A Tsang Naji helped him out and he learned to get over his insecurities. All a very touching tale. Then he had a child with that Tsang Naji, and you know how rezan blood mixes up family traits. The end result was your father; to date the only Serg-Naji on the planet."

:sergei:"Wait so he isn't a sergal?"

"Oh he is, still has all the traits that comes with sergals, but he was also rezan. And Tsang Naji. Because he was such a unique specimen, he had a lot of different people wanting him, either as a friend or as a test subject. During one of those times he dealt with these strange people talking about the prophecy of the two."

:sergei:"And you never thought to tell me any of this?!"

"Well dear, this was all pillow talk, never thought much of it until you mentioned it again."

:sergei:"So these same people are now after me."

Don't leave out anything about the cult, but she doesn't need to know about your blackouts or anything else that could suggest the prophesy might really be coming true.

Never get caught keeping a secret. If you make yourself look like you're hiding things from her it'll set her against you, at which point you're screwed.

Have some, it'll help calm your nerves, especially after the hell of today. Now come, let's debrief each other. I'll go first. That was not the Hegemony. That was obviously a cult, and I know for a fact the Hegemony does not deal with cults no matter how desperate they are. Question is what are they a cult of? Your turn."


:sergei: "Oh, ah. Well, this cult, seems to be fascinated with me. Simply because I'm a mix breed of a bunch of races."


"Well that narrows it by a lot."

:sergei: "It does?"

"Yes. In all the Empire, there are about a thousand cults active at any time. Of those thousand, only a dozen or so mean any real harm to the Empire, and of them, only a few have the resources to do what happened last night. Is there anything else you may know that may help narrow the list?"

:sergei:"They seem to like speaking this prophecy. Something about the One and bones of Three or something."

"And now I know who they are."

:sergei:"Really?" Who?"

"Cult of the One Master. Or just 'One Purpose' as they call themselves. They are all over the place, in both the Empire and the Hegemony. They have an unknown number of cabals hidden throughout the known world and probably have a membership count in the hundreds of thousands. I'm sure some must be very influential people because they have resources to match even the Empire's entire war effort. Do you know why they would be interested in you in particular? Why you and not any of the other mix breeds in the city(me included)?"

because your one of a kind. your part Sergal, Naji and rez which seem to fit part of there prophecy and we have reason to believe that our father may have been a member of influence and our birth was the end result of some kind of ritual or something. Not sure what the hell that all means but it does sound like something the cult would go out of there way for to ruin our day.
