[Anduin stands, holding his pendant in his hand. His is a face that likely only a handful of those in the city will recognize -- and he is rather counting on that fact.

He smiles, looking somewhat tired and worn but aren't we all these days?]

Good evening, my friends. I apologize for bringing such trivial questions to you, however I fear that being one of the lucky few to newly arrive in the city, I do not share your history of knowledge.

[He is trying not to speechify. Unlike some people, Wrathion. Is it working? He will try harder.]

Of late there has been much discussion of justice, especially with regards to Bonaccorso and his niece and nephew. But what of the rest of the nobility? I have heard, for instance, there is a noblewoman who is rumored to have supplied weapons to the brotherhood as payment for Taravast's survival? Should such a person be held responsible for the consequences of her actions? Or, as with Macaluso, do we turn a blind eye to such acts themselves when taken for the greater good?

[Is he fishing for opinions on donna Rigarda? You bet he is. Is his innocent newbie act working for you? Look at these Big Blue Eyes...]

It is not. It is also simple. Her servants dragged us out to participate in their weapons delivery, and when it all went wrong decided to kidnap us and trade us to the undead as tribute.

We would have definitely died if we hadn't been rescued.

[Anduin's expression hardens somewhat. This is -- good information to have, and more certainly than he had gathered before.]

Rigarda was not there herself. But do you know if her servants had been ordered to do such a thing, when her plans had gone awry?

Forgive me for asking so bluntly. I am... Attempting to understand the character of the woman herself, you see.

[softheartedshizun]

I'm not certain she specifically requested us, I thibk perhaps her servants simply thought we were a good fit.

They did request us to return them, and told us nothing of what they were actually doing. We only suspected more because their was an ambush... and we kept the weapons to ourselves....

[ At the time it seems a good idea to have something in waiting. ]

When she locked us up however she definitely gave instructions to deal with us no matter what. Poor eleven even was beaten more for speaking out.

[Anduin frowns slightly, uncertain he is following correctly.]

When she locked you up?

Did she punish you for your failure to carry out her orders?

[softheartedshizun]

Of course.

[chosenbylight]

[The frown Deepens.]

I am sorry to hear this.

[softheartedshizun]

It is the way of things... I should have probably left them somewhere and say they had been taken.
